FINAL RESOLUTION

Sponsors: USA, Great Britain, European Union, African Union, Israel, Saudi Arabia
Signatories: Sudan, China, Iran, Russia, India, Venezuela
Topic: Settling the conflict in Sudan by helping restore its government to aid stabilizing the country.

Having considered further its original intent to send in troops alone the US will not be going in to Sudan alone but along with troops from France and Britain,

Noting that the government of Sudan is still very unstable,

1. Encourages Pakistan to take control of its ISI and cut all of its ties with Al Qaeda (ISI ceasing to aid Al Qaeda);

2. Calls for an establishment of control of Sudan’s Red Sea coast to insure Al-Qaeda has no further contact with Sudan, furthering the stability of Sudan's position;

3. Urges that the troops are sent in and this control is taken with as little impact as possible, avoiding revolt against us and our peaceful intentions;

4. Enforces the continuation of the war against terrorism through the use of military intelligence to seek out and remove power from Al-Qaeda and similar organizations;

5. Reminds that all countries involved in this alliance support Israel in the hostage situation. While the situation is handled for now, should it prove too complex or large-scale for Israel to handle alone, we will offer our support to Israel in coming to a peaceful agreement;

6. Requests that Iran handles its relationship with Israel and the rest of the Middle East peacefully;

7. Notes that France withdraw our previous statements regarding the cutting off of our support of Pakistan. We wish to restore things to the state they were in, if not a better one, before the terrorist threat became imminent. We still do not support Pakistan's ISI that supports terrorism.

Pakistan and the ISI, Al-Qaeda

France urges Pakistan to stop funding the ISI for terrorist reasons as Al-Qaeda is a dangerous threat to all Western countries.

Our Stance

The European Union (including Britain and France), the African Union, the United States of America, Israel, and Saudi Arabia have formed an alliance and plan to strategically and diplomatically cut off resources to Sudan, both directly and indirectly, in order to lessen the power of Al Quaeda. While doing so, we plan to safely get rid of the nuclear power Al Quaeda has control of, keeping the wellbeing of the innocent Sudanese citizens as our first priority. In order to further protect the citizens of Sudan, we plan to use a portion of our funding to take in refugees from Sudan during this difficult time. Unfortunately, we have found this to be the most peaceful way of dealing with the terrorist takeover in Sudan without descending into war.

Unless change in the Sudanese situation occurs, our allied nations plan to do the following in order to both take away power from terrorist organizations (and those that fund them) and protect innocent lives:

Europe:

1. Europe will cut off all oil purchasing and trade from all countries not directly within this union in order to prevent potential terrorist support and “play it safe”.
2. The EU will continue to take in civilian refugees from Sudan into all of its countries.
3. Britain will no longer export weapons to China, unless and until a further alliance is formed.
4. France will take in civilian refugees and provide humanitarian help through the UN
5. France will place sanctions on the Sudanese government; the EU supports this decision
6. The EU, France, and Britain will back up the US in its bombing of the nuclear powers in Sudan. However:

1. France believes that any military actions taken should be supported by all countries in NATO
2. The EU supports the bombing of nuclear powers in Sudan if and only if it does not result in detonation of the nuclear bombs or the release of radiation (as we do not know the specific nature of the bombs, more information must be collected). The EU wishes to be as diplomatic as possible and are only supporting this with the wellbeing of the Sudanese people in mind.

African Union:

1. The AU will send in peacekeeping troops to attempt to restore order in Sudan and maintain stability.

1. The AU will cut off trading goods such as wool, beef, sheep, goats, milk, and dry grains (wheat, rice etc.) with countries not directly in this alliance.

United States:

1. The United States is leading B-52 bombings of nuclear powers in Sudan, supported by the countries in this alliance (all questions regarding this decision should be directed towards the US representative).
2. The US will cut off all aid to and trade with Pakistan to avoid indirectly funding any further military activity.
3. The US will establish a full protectorate of Saudi Arabia.
4. The US will follow Europe’s and Africa’s lead in sending humanitarian help to the Sudanese people.

Saudi Arabia:

1. Saudi Arabia will cut off oil exports to countries not within this alliance while supplementing the oil supplies of the countries represented here.

Israel:

1. Israel will continue sending Humanitarian aid to the Sudanese people
2. Israel supports the sanction proposed by France on the Sudanese government.
3. Israel supports the US decision to attempt to safely remove the nuclear threat from Al-Quaeda without prompting war.

(as written by the European Union)

Position on Al-Qaeda and Sudan

France’s first and most immediate obligation is to help and protect civilian lives. The most appropriate vehicle to coordinate such an effort would be the United Nations. There will likely be a strong need for both medial and food supplies to help the affected people. As we have seen with natural disasters it is essential that there is a unified and concentrated effort to manage a disaster of this side. There will be world support for such an effort so it is likely France will be able to respond very quickly.

On a military and threat front and with the use of dirty bombs Al-Qaeda has upped the ante on how far they are willing to go to pursue their twisted goals. This effort would need to be coordinated through NATO. As we have seen with Libya both the UN and NATO working hand in hand will give the Europeans and Allies the most power to respond with the broadest public support. The threat of Al-Qaeda establishing a safe haven to operate has huge implications and the response from world powers will strong and decisive.
