Counter the Rising Tension that is Arising Around the South China Sea
Committee: The United Nations Security
Council
Agenda: Addressing the Rising
Tensions and the Current Situation in the South China Sea
Author: The People’s Republic of
China
Sponsors: The Republic of South Africa,
The French Republic
Signatories: The People’s Democratic
Republic of Algeria, The Federative Republic of Brazil, The Republic of Ecuador
The United Security
Council,
Noting with
regret the
inherent violations of important United Nations documents which are central to
the spirit of the United Nations which include (but are not restricted to):
1) The United Nations Charter and
the resolutions passed by the United Nations Convention on the Sea (UNCLOS),
2) Various resolutions produced by
(most importantly) the United Nations Security Council, and by smaller
conglomerates such as the DISEC, ECOSOC and the UNHRC,
Alarmed by the human casualties and the
broken diplomatic ties that have resulted in the:
1) Conflicts between Taiwan and
China,
2) Territorial disputes over
waters and islands between China and the ASEAN nations that border the South
China Sea,
Affirming the fact that China does own
Taiwan and the whole region of the South China Sea, through historical rights
and policies like the “Law on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone” and
the “One China” policy that has been signed by various signatories like the
United States of America that have made China already the owner of these
regions,
Bearing in
mind the
resource-rich areas of the South China Sea and Taiwan that have been a major
financial centre for trade in the past centuries and the modern age of today,
which has seen nations like China and Indonesia rise to become popular tourist
destinations and financial hubs, in which this century will make these
countries world powers,
Recognising the necessity of maintaining
peace between the East and the West and the necessity of solving this
incremental problem wisely and in a way that makes all parties involved in this
security threat agree with the solutions dealt with in this resolution,
1) Calls upon all the nations that surround the South
China Sea to:
a) Reduce the number of
battleships, destroyers, and spy aeroplanes in the South China Sea with the
intention of:
i)
Reducing the fear of merchants and suppliers who pass through the
South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait of being shot down by warships or
military planes by accident in the unfortunate event of misrepresentation of
marine vessels as belligerent acts of war,
ii)
Increasing the volume of trade conducted in the South China Sea to
improve the economies of the ASEAN nations,
iii)
Showing
to the whole world that the countries bordering the South China Sea are at
peace with each other and that they are secure to not put tight military
control in agitation against one another but making travelling through the
waters a safe and economically prosperous experience for the people and/or
cargo that shall pass through the South China Sea,
b) Show solidarity with each
nation by conducting military drills and state visits between each other nation
which will show that:
i)
Each nation involved in the military drills believes in the common
fraternal network that binds the South China Sea together and each is
trustworthy to the other in the common faith that their various treaties will
be upheld with stringent implementation and will work together to defend the
South China sea and their nations wherein,
ii)
Subsequent state visits (after the implementation of this
resolution) will incite a more friendly kindling of (and productive involvement
in) peaceful discussions that discuss issues of state with the olive branch in
hand rather than on the battlefield, which will promote a more peaceful and
long-lasting solution to the tensions within the various countries of the South
China Sea,
2) Requests the nations in the UNSC to
organise and ratify treaties and committees concerning the tensions in the
South China Sea, a few brought forward by the delegation of China are:
a) The “Sino-ASEAN Maritime Security Committee,”
a committee dedicated to the sole purpose of:
i)
Giving the leaders of the countries involved in this treaty a
platform to point out the different economic and security impacts the tensions
in the South China Sea might bring,
ii)
Encouraging discussion between China and the ASEAN nations of
Chinese influence over the South China Sea, which will put forth various other
treaties and resolutions to solve this incurring problem,
b) The “The Sino-ASEAN Normalization Treaty,” which provides an opportunity
for the nations of the UNSC to:
i)
Create peace between the nations bordering the South China Sea by
ensuring all the countries reduce their defences at the South China Sea,
ii)
Allow the present claims of the countries for their islands in the
South China Sea to remain so that there will be no more disputes along the
lines of whether a certain island group belongs to a certain country,
iii)
Make
the present claims over the territorial waters of the countries involved in
this treaty official, making the countries remove their defences over the
territorial waters of their nation that overlaps the territorial waters of the
other nation, making that overlapping space a hub for countries to trade
freely, making it global waters and territory for the whole world,
3) Has resolved
to do the following measures to solve the issue between Taiwan and China by:
a) Stating that China is the rightful owner
of the region of Taiwan, and China will attempt to get Taiwan as a part of it
by the following methods:
i)
Diplomatically by holding talks with Taiwan in various committees
set up by China like the “Taiwan – China Normalization Committee,” which seeks,
diplomatically to encourage Taiwan to join China,
ii)
By military intimidation, which may involve military aggression by
marine force and by air, if Taiwan does not comply,
b) Proposing the following incentives to
Taiwan if it joins China which are:
i)
China will contribute an amount of 1/8th of China’s GDP annually, which will
promote Taiwan to the top 10 GDPs in the world,
ii)
Major Taiwanese companies like Foxconn, Evergreen and TSMC, will
get 1 billion USD from China for infrastructural development, and productivity
of the corporation on the whole,
iii)
Taiwan
will be made a semi-autonomous region, which will be allowed to have its
identity, but will not have formal diplomatic ties with other nations, which
all is clearly outlined in the “One China” policy,
iv)
China’s
Politburo standing committee of 8 members will include a Taiwanese member in
the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China, this will
highly elevate Taiwan’s political importance and influence in Chinese Politics,
v)
China will have 1/5th of the members of the National People's Congress of the People's
Republic of China be Taiwanese, another attempt to make Taiwan influential in
Chinese politics,
vi)
China
will extend its Belt-and-Road initiative to Taiwan if it allows itself to join
China,
vii)
China will
renounce its claim on the 9-dash and will redraw its territorial waters to
cater to the requirements of the rest of the nations that border the South
China Sea with China’s borders being done considering the EEZ of China and
Taiwan, which will be done on the condition that every nation in the ASEAN
agrees to the One-China policy with all of its terms and conditions,
4) Further resolves to present solutions before
the international community that will show that China and the nations bordering
the South China Sea are resilient and can make peace with each other in the
following ways:
a) Forming a protocol rival to the
UNCLOS called the South China Sea Dispute Resolution Protocol (SCSDRP) which
seeks to regulate the economic and military activity in the South China Sea,
which will result in world peace, in the following ways:
i)
To redefine the laws of the UNCLOS and divide the South China Sea
into parts that will belong to each country around the South China Sea and
international waters, in which each division will be made upon the following
criteria:
1) The geographical extent of the
country,
2) The number of stations or
islands in the South China Sea claimed by that country,
3) The GDP of that country,
considering their debt also,
4) Their present claims that each
country has made on the South China Sea, including the ones made by themselves
and the ones made by the country’s Exclusive Economic Zone,
ii)
To remove all military aggression that is currently present in
that area, except a small band of about 10 to 20 soldiers just to keep guard of
any invaders of their part of the South China Sea,
iii)
To
give out licenses to people who want to travel through the territorial waters
of another country, which will people who want to travel through another
country’s territorial waters safe from:
1) Being captured by the task
force implemented by that country on charges of illegal travelling through
those waters,
2) Being a risk of getting
incarcerated due to charges of illegal fishing or any other activity in another
country’s territorial waters,
iv)
To
make legislation in the SCSDRP to command officers in the South China Sea not
to capsize any vessel that is found intruding in their part of the South China
Sea, but to fine or arrest them based on the following criteria:
1) Finding out whether they have a
licence that was printed by the consulate of the country whose waters they are
travelling through in the country from which they are travelling to see if they
are entering the other country’s territorial waters illegally or not,
2) Finding out, by inquiry and by
what is found on their vessel, whether they are smugglers, fishing vessels, are
travelling to the country whose territorial waters they are passing through for
diplomatic, business or tourist reasons or are spies for another country,
v)
Forming a task force commissioned by the United Nations
Peacekeeping Forces to oversee the situation and ensure all of the legislation
in the protocol is followed exactly as planned and in a peaceful way, as this
force will abate:
1) Minor onsite skirmishes can
develop while the countries are redrawing the territorial borders and the
respective countries move their forces to their territorial waters,
2) Major diplomatic crises can
occur due to major disagreements between countries while the protocol discusses
how much of the South China Sea each country will get,
b) Forming a rival committee to
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization called the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization (SEATO), which will solve the tensions between the nations around
the South China Sea and other incurring problems among the ASEAN nations in the
following ways:
i)
Discussing how the SCSDRP redrawing of the South China Sea can
cater to all the economic and military requirements of all the nations involved
in the SCSDRP,
ii)
Discussing and coming up with even more solutions to abate the
situation between China and Taiwan,
iii)
Discussing
the economic and security implications of the tensions between the nations
around the South China Sea,
iv)
Coming
out with solutions for the security and economic issues with the tensions
between the nations around the South China Sea,
5)
Emphasizing the need to abate the
situation between the nations bordering the South China Sea by:
a) Forming a tribunal called the
“Hague Commission on the South China Sea Resources (HC-SCSR)” that will perform
as an example to other nations on how China can be a reliable peacemaker,
foremost in the South China Sea, in the following ways:
i)
It will ration out how much of the resources like coal, fish, and
natural gas each nation around the South China Sea and the international
community will get to ensure that there will be no conflict between the nations
involved in this tribunal when the topic of resource-sharing comes up in any
diplomatic discussion between those nations,
ii)
It will be a completely independent body chaired by the ICJ and
the UNSC without any of the permanent 5 nations in the UNSC being involved in
this tribunal to ensure the following:
1) The least amount of corruption
and bias when the ICJ and the UNSC ration the volume of resources that each
nation around the South China Sea and the international community get,
2) The fair division of resources
without the necessity to have diplomatic conflicts when it is being discussed,
b) Forming a protocol called the
“United Nations Protocol on the Dispute over Landmasses in the South China Sea
(UNP-DLSCS)” that will address the issue of who owns which island groups or
banks like the Pratas, Spratly and Paracel Islands and the Macclesfield Bank,
and will solve the disputes over the question of who owns the islands in the
following ways:
i)
Consider the various factors that will have to be involved when
deciding whether one island group or bank belongs to which country, the factors
being:
1) The geographical extent of the
country,
2) The number of island groups or
banks in the South China Sea claimed by that country,
3) The GDP of that country,
considering their debt also,
4) Their present claims that each
country has made on the South China Sea, including the ones made by themselves
and the ones made by the country’s Exclusive Economic Zone,
ii)
Ensuring the support of every party involved in this island group
and bank dispute by:
1) Ensuring
that a UN Peacekeeping force is deployed in this controversial arena to ensure
peace in this controversial area,
2)
Installing
various surveillance planes from the ASEAN nations and the to check whether the
procedures happening in the South China Sea are valid according to the
UNP-DLSCS, and whether peace is observed when the division of the islands are
done peaceably,
6) Resolves to remain actively involved in
the international community in this matter of urgency.
