__**Representation of all economic levels and ethnic groups within member states' government**__ Iraq believes that the representation of all economic levels and ethnic groups within member states' is equally important as including LDC's in summit-level talks. Iraq is pushing towards a democratic government, and one of the foundations of democracy is to give a voice to the entire population of a country. Iraq believes that this issue does not only pertain to ethnic groups and different economic levels, but gender as well. One of its main goals is to empower women and strengthen their role in the country. Women have received the right to vote and stand for election in 1980. Women hold 10% of ministrial positions and 25.5% of parliement seats. Iraq is seeking to increase these figures. In its move towards democracy, Iraq seeks equality and equal representations for different economic levels, ethnic groups, and genders.

__Call upon__ all member nations to have a percentage of governmental positions to be held by different ethnic groups that is proportional to that of the country.
