Greetings from your head chair

My name is Stevie and I will be your head chair of the UN General Assembly First Committee: Disarmament and International Security. This is my second year as a member of the BMUN secretariat and fifth time staffing a Model United Nations conference. I am currently a senior studying chemical engineering with the hopes of pursuing a career in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Outside of class, I’m involved in a research lab, a professional fraternity, a social fraternity, and various professional groups on campus. I spend my free time walking dogs and producing YouTube videos and other online content. I'm excited to get this blog started and I can't wait to see all of you in March!

  2. The Delegation of Malaysia would first like to thank the chairs and its fellow delegates as we are delighted and honored to have this opportunity to discus these pressing issues in the DISEC committee at BMUN.

    Malaysia does not possess any nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons and is actively working with the global community to prevent the proliferation of such weapons. Furthermore, Malaysia is dedicated to furthering nuclear, biological, and chemical technologies for peaceful use as we do believe these technologies can prove to be a great asset in fields such as energy and medicine.

    Since the 1960 Malaysian Arms Act, Malaysia has had strict gun laws and has seen a decrease in the illegal trade of small arms in its state. Of course, improvements can always be made, and the issue of small arms and light weapons is still of the utmost importance in the international community. As such, Malaysia is working tirelessly with the UN as we hope to be part of the solution to such a dire concern.

    The Delegation of Malaysia looks forward to further discussion of these topics in depth during committee to create lasting solutions that can be implemented internationally.

  7. The Delegation of Morocco expresses gratitude for being able to take part in this effort to address the significant global issue of the use of weapons of mass destruction and the use of small arms and weapons. Morocco looks forward to working with its fellow delegates and chairs in committee, and hopes to reach a definitive solution to weapons proliferation. Morocco, as a non-nuclear state, has for many years been an advocate for the elimination of WMDs, as they pose a great threat to global security. Morocco wishes to reach a solution that will both provide protection against these destructive and inhumane instruments for all nations as well as decrease the number of nuclear weapons held by nuclear states. As for the issue of small arms and light weapons, Morocco has also enacted multiple laws, some of them UN resolutions, to further regulate abuse of light weapons and to stop the illicit trade of these dangerous firearms. Morocco has dealt with terrorism firsthand and hopes that through the cooperation of other nations a resolution may be created that prevents terrorist groups such as ISIS from acquiring any more tools to threaten the safety of the global community. The Delegation of Morocco is eager to work with its fellow delegates to address these threats with strong resolutions that will ensure a safer and better world.

    Regards,
    The Delegation of the Kingdom of Morocco
