Re: International Security of Post-US Anti-Afghan Surgical Strikes
Submitted to: Security Council 2
Submitted by: Israel
Date: 10-13-01
Action: Defeated
Concerned that the United States surgical strikes in Afghanistan is an attempt to demolish terrorist harboring grounds will tempt the Taliban as well as terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda to take retaliatory action against the US and the main supporters and/ or allies,
Noting that counties in the close geographical vicinity of Afghanistan that are recognized as either givers of US support, or counties who have had major known disputes with Afghanistan and/or terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda, Hizbullah, and Hamas, are at a high risk of being targeted for anti-United States sentiment retaliatory attacks. Some of these under higher risks are Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Israel,
Alarmed that those countries that are currently not attacking the Taliban or Afghanistan are primarily at risk of Anti-US retaliation and would be suffering for actions not caused by them,
Be it hereby resolved that the Security Council #2:
1. Insist that the United States and the United Kingdom halt all military surgical strikes against the targets in Afghanistan to allow a cool down period of 5 days at the very least.
2. Emphasize that this cool down period be used to attempt communication and negotiations between not only the United States and the Taliban, but by every country closely involved.
3. Remind all countries and political organizations that any sort of retaliatory attack against any country or organization during this cool down period would be condemned, severely disapproved or, and considered an act of war against humanity and especially the country or organization that was retaliated against.
4. Send military aid to counties closely involved in this immediate conflict to best defend against possible retaliatory attacks. The military aid would be specifically for the defense of counties and for no other reason.

October 13, 2001

Whereas, article one states that, “they (humans)…..should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood (sisterhood). Countries should be open with one another,”
Whereas, Article Five states that, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” A country or group should not impose unnecessary harm, oblivious to the intensity to another country, even in the domain of retaliation,
Whereas, Article Eleven declares that, “everyone charged with a penal offense has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.” Counties should not be trigger- happy when it comes to complete obliteration of a nation or group,
Stating in the preamble the problem exists: Whereas, to maintain a brotherhood or sisterhood of nations Afghanistan, specifically the Taliban, release all locations of all weapons to establish a new trust between Afghanistan and the world,
Whereas, despite the suspected Taliban terrorist attacks, innocent Afghani citizens are being injured and killed for the things that their fellow Afghani citizens may have done. Whereas, weapon inspections could very much prove the Taliban’s innocence for certain accusations,
Be it hereby resolved that the Security Council #2:
1. Allowing U.N. officials to inspect weapons in terrorist nations beginning with Afghanistan.
2. In Afghanistan, providing Aid after successful weapons checks to help re-build Afghanistan.
