The Kingdom Of Denmark
Position paper
On July 16th, 1965, the United States of America conducted the first nuclear test.
Since then the number of nuclear states in the world has increased from 1 to 9.
These weapons of mass destruction have had a great impact on civilization from
the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to multiple Nuclear accidents. Nuclear
weapons are one of the most indiscriminate and destructive weapons on this
planet and can cause the full extinction of the human race. We the Kingdom of
Denmark believe that a renewed commitment is to be made towards
disarmament.
The Kingdom of Denmark denounces the spread of nuclear weapons and also
recognizes the need to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and nuclear
technology among rouge Actors and States and non-state actors. Denmark also
recognizes the importance of addressing regional challenges in areas of High
Nuclear Tension. As a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Denmark urges all nations to adhere to its
principles.
Additionally, The Russian Federation's war against Ukraine violated the
Budapest Memorandum according to which Ukraine will receive security
assurances as well as Russia will respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity if Ukraine
returns the nuclear weapons it inherited after the fall of the USSR to Russia.
The violation of this treaty by the Russian Federation sets a precedent that
encourages the spread of nuclear weapons. The People’s Republic of China is
increasing its Nuclear arsenal at a fast pace which might trigger an arms race in
South Asia which is a region of high nuclear tension or with the United States
of America which might lead to possible accidents. We must also address the
issue of the possibility of nuclear terrorism which can occur due to nuclear
proliferation.
 Many solutions can be implemented to resolve this issue such as
 Nuclear Safeguards such as that of the IAEA must be followed by all
nations to ensure the peaceful use of Nuclear materials.
 All Nuclear Counties should remove their nuclear weapons from High
alert and should work towards arms reduction.
 We must advocate for diplomatic dialogue and multilateral engagements
to increase trust and operation around the world, especially in regions of
high nuclear tensions.
 There should be increased international cooperation and intelligence
sharing to stop nuclear proliferation.
 Nuclear-armed states should take concrete steps toward nuclear
disarmament, in line with their obligations under the NPT. Reducing
nuclear arsenals and demonstrating a commitment to disarmament can
create a positive ripple effect, encouraging other nations to follow suit
 Public Awareness should be created about nuclear proliferation and the
importance of disarmament this can promote a collective effort towards
disarmament.
 The International community can use sanctions to discourage states from
pursuing nuclear proliferation.
The International community should work together in order to address and
resolve this issue and work towards a common goal of ensuring world peace
and security. We must work fast and find a solution to this issue before it
causes the death of millions around the globe.
