Delegate: Thomas Yan Country: Syria Committee: Disarmament & International Security Committee Topic: Peacekeeping Operations

Syria is a very minor, unwilling player in peacekeeping operations. Syria is impartial to other peacekeeping operations, as long as those operations do not involve Syria in any way. Peacekeeping operations are important for the committee to address because the UN needs to assist other nations with their conflicts, as long as Syria is not involved. Syria is concerned with peacekeeping because they need stability and security in other nations in the Middle East. We are very concerned about the UN peacekeepers in the region of Gorlan Heights, a disputed area in Israel.

Syria is not very involved in peacekeeping operations, but have received some unwanted and unneeded help along our border with Israel. This is the UNDOF, the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force. This is a very small force, composed of a little over 1, 000 soldiers. Syria has not contributed to peacekeeping operations worldwide.

Syria doesn't really care about Peacekeeping Operations, as long as they are not involved with peacekeepers. We have a poor human rights record, and due to this, we wouldn't want any peacekeepers coming to our country and fiinding out about all of the bad things we have done to our people.

We recommend that the UN work to achieve world peace, without involving Syria.
