Security Council Review of Caucus

Security Council Review of CaucusDuring caucusing of the Security Council, resolutions primarily stated the non-intervention and further development of the Iraqi government were opposed by those resolutions including the intervention of Iraq that were put forward mainly by the US, UK and France.

Countries such as China, Iran, DPRK, Germany, and India supported the non-intervention approach. China specifically stated that the use of non-violence approaches to the stabilization of the government would prove more successful. They also announced that they wanted the US to compensate for the damages done in Iraq and for no further intervention.

On the other hand, the US and UK were making strong alliances and believed that resolutions including the involvement with the Iraqi government would prove successful in the capability of handling the government. The delegation of China was strongly against these resolutions made by the US in alliance with the UK and France.

Whilst two resolutions have been formed, some countries such as Russia and Kenya were non-compliant with either resolution made by the delegations. Russia’s delegation put forward a peacekeeping resolution in order to sustain relationships between delegations. This included a compromise between the resolutions from the US and UK and those from China. They hoped by doing this it would further sustain relationships. As Kenya expressed they did not believe in either of the two main resolutions, they expressed concern for the UK resolution as they believed it compromised the development of Iraq and was not a true reflection of reality as there would be much tension involved. The delegation of Kenya suggested that the role of NATO was not represented fully.

The caucus highlighted alliances forming between the delegation of DPRK and China as both were in favour of normalization of relations and to allow Iraq to be free from foreign influences. The delegation of India was also respecting the resolutions of China and the nonintervention method. The formation of alliance between UK, France and US was clearly seen and all believed in an intervention with the Iraqi government.

The next caucus will see the further alliance between delegations and formation of joint resolutions.
