UN Security Council 21st Century Global War on Terrorism: Security v. Sovereignty
Position paper
One of the most exponential problems worldwide today is modern terrorism and the effects it has on different countries. After 9/11, there have been continuous terrorist attacks in the world. For instance, Chechen terrorists in the Moscow Theater caused around 200 casualties in 2002; 200 tourists died after serial car bombing in Indonesia in the same year; 190 casualties on the train bombing in Spain in 2004; subway bombing in London in 2005; another train bombing in India in 2006. As well as numerous recent terrorist attacks from the terrorist group known variously as ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant), ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) or simply Islamic State is a predecessor of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
The position countries assume towards the subject is crucial. The Pro-Sovereignty block believes that nations need to be independent and that you cannot infringe upon their borders, while the Pro-Security firmly believes that terrorist groups need to be attacked no matter where they are. The South Korean delegation has expressed much concern for the situation and has suggested that they are looking to abstain, seeing as the ideal situation is not with either block, rather it is a hybrid situation in which both aspects are ideal.
South Korea has been a victim of modern terrorism directly and indirectly. The amount of Korean students, tourists, and businessmen stationed abroad has been on increase in the past and these people are increasingly exposed to the threat of terrorism. Between November 2003 and June 2006, there were 11 incidents where Koreans were either attacked or kidnapped by terrorists. These incidents occurred in Iraq, Nigeria, Haiti, Palestine, Somalia and so on. Korea has also dealt with the infamous NSA, Al-Qaeda, an extreme terrorist group in the Middle East which threatened to attack Korea if it joined the United
