Country: Togo Committee: Security Council.

Delegation Name: BRAC University Agenda 2: The potential threat of weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and Unmanned Combat Vehicles (UCV) in the hands of Non-State Actors. Togo recognizes the fact that insufficient attention has been paid to conventional weapons limitation and disarmament and believes that this issue should be comprehensively addressed by the United Nations. Over the past decade, both the frequency and magnitudes of conventional terrorist attacks have risen dramatically, as demonstrated by the devastating bombings in Bali (2002), Istanbul (2003), Madrid (2004), and London (2005), which collectively claimed the lives of hundreds and injured thousands. As acts of terrorism become more violent, the need for adequate control over weapons of mass destruction and their components is of utmost importance. As it has being spread in some parts of Africa and Togo believe it can be a future target as a member of Security Council. Togo wishes to underline its support for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) (1968) as the Cornerstone of global cooperative efforts to curb nuclear weapons technology use. Togo urges all remaining nations to sign and adopt the NPT, in order to establish a global consensus on the necessity for arms control agreements. In keeping with the spirit of the goals of the Conference on Disarmament since its inception in 1979, Togo places a high value on progressing toward a world free of nuclear weapons, creating an environment safe from the threat of nuclear war. Togo would like to bring into consideration the growing concerns that have been neglected previously. In particular, some issues likely to shape events have been absent from the public debate:
1. United Nations should undertake a series of mutually reinforcing measures at the

international level to prevent biological weapons proliferation and terrorism.

2. Availability of chemicals should be reduced. 3. Country responsible for supplying WMD has to come under some serious obligations. 4. Tax on UCV components should be increased
