Policy Statement on Issue 1

The nation of Sudan has struggled for many decades. Whether it be economicallly or politically, Sudan has struggled. Perhaps one of the more important aspects in truly developing as a nation, is the appreciation and actual awareness of international law, and Sudan recognizes and understands this. To live in a world where all nations understand each other, regardless of personal agendas, nations must be aware of international law. By definition, international law is 'a body of rules established by custom or treaty and recognized by nations as binding in their relations with one another.' This is what we must strive to teach the world, perhaps particularly the governments of the world. The creation of an organization which does nothing but help promote and develop the idea of international law would be of great help, and therefore the Delegation of Sudan fully supports this Programme.

Operative Statements:

The need to develop a United Nations Programme of Assistance in the Teaching, Study, Dissemination and Wider Appreciation of International Law

1-Calls upon the initiation of an awareness campaign that would help show the benefits of understanding international law to the nations of the world, something that would further help: a) increase support for the UNPATSDWAIL (United Nations Programme of Assistance in the Teaching, Study, Dissemination and Wider Appreciation of International Law), as nations knowing of international law and its significance would choose to help in the development of such a program

2-Recommends that due to the merely informational and rather simple function of this Programme, the nations that provide the greater amount of funding would be given most control in organization, and would be allowed to make decisions (monitored by UN), such as: a)Methods of teaching and studying of international law i) whom they choose to target as the focal point of this programme, although control will be monitored by UN to guarantee that intentions of Programme are being implemented

3-Suggests that the Assembly follow the guidelines UN resolution 2009 (XX) of 20 December 1965, which has already set guidelines for this issue, and simply develop it to better deal with our developing world
