Political committee
On the topic: Asserting national sovereignty and security through internet firewalls
following China’s model.
This kind of method puts in danger the on-line sovereignty and freedom of the
people. Finland’s position on this topic is a mistrustful one. China is using this rule
just for keeping its population under control, not caring about the private life of its
citizens. If this tool will be developed also in other states there will be no choice
between freedom and security, but between who controls the internet. Besides the
“non-private” life of the citizens, another disadvantages would be:
- the mistakes made by the government or by the leaders of the country will be
hidden
As a conclusion, this type of method is truly unfair for the people and it violates
their rights.
This delegate thinks that the separatist movements are useless and
impractical. It will surely be hard for the “new-state” to depart from the
“mother-state” and to create and maintain the public order. As a result, the
new-state will have to face many problems:
- New laws and rules will have to be written.
- The new-state will not benefit from the help of the mother-state.
- There will be more conflicts than in the past.
- It will be a lengthy process that will probably not worth.
As a conclusion, the problem of separatist movements should target a trade
between the two sides which will solve it peacefully.
