__﻿﻿Turkey's Clauses__ __Delegation:__ Republic of Turkey __** Issue: The integrity of UN Peacekeeping Forces in conflict zones **__ While these forces have been used on several occasions to help maintain order, create peace and even stabilizing difficult situations, many problems have arisen. Several questions are coming up in regards to this issue, notable examples being the corruption among these Peacekeeping missions and the safety of the troops themselves. Since no real action has been taken by any of the UN member states in particular, this “problem” will continue to grow until the correct measures are put into order. The delegation of Turkey does agree that in the past, i has been known that some of these peacekeepers were involved in sexual misdeeds within the countries in which they were stationed, but this problem has almost been wiped out ever since a curfew and an "outright ban on unauthorized contact with local residents" has been issued. Furthermore, Turkey has participated in 19 UN peace-keeping operations in the last 20 years and is currently taking part in 9 missions located in several different regions worldwide. Some include but are not limited to:
 * UNPROFOR
 * UNOSOM-II
 * SFOR
 * KFOR
 * Several missions in far-off nations such as Haiti.

Turkey feels quite strongly that these missions are in fact successful as they have proved to act thusly in the past and should continue without intervention. However, the delegation of Turkey is open to considering further ideas on how to improve the peacekeepers’ control over certain chaotic situations while refraining from endangering their lives any more than necessary.

There are currently 664 Turkish peacekeepers in the UN Solutions:
 * There needs to be an official specific definition for the term peacekeeping
 * Peacekeepers' limitations need to be expanded. The restriction of not firing unless fired upon needs to be amended.
 * There needs to be an increase in military equipment due to the fact that most missions are done in extreme conditions; in deserts, mountainous regions, etc. Lacking such military equipments prevents missions from continuing in a speedy manner.

The military uprisings regarding Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior's house arrest are causing several problems to come up in the small African state of Guinea-Bissau. Antonio Ndjai, the Deputy Chief of Staff, has stated that Gomes will be killed if the PAIGC protests continue. Previous action by the EU was taken in a failed attempt to create order in the region; the EU had stated that since Antonio Ndjali had become Deputy Chief of Staff, that it was a "breach in the constitutional order. We can't work with him". While the delegation of Turkey has no particular stance on this issue, it believes that action must be taken immediately rather than postponed so as to not further destabilize the situation and lead to any other conflicts in the surrounding region. Despite those words being easy to say, the Turkish delegation believes that this is no easy task as we can not simply go in and execute the Deputy Chief of Staff and must consult the ICC with such a situation. This is a domestic issue and can not be taken into our hands. . __** Issue: Security in the Korean Peninsula **__ Tensions between North Korea and South Korea are constantly increasing; from the DMZ conflicts that took place from 1966-69 between the Koreas and USA to the currently ongoing Sokor-Nokor Conflict. Moreover, the recently sunk South Korean ship due to fire of a North Korean torpedo has not made matters better and may in fact lead to a war shortly. Currently all options are on the table but since North Korea is suspected to be in possession of Nuclear warheads, war may not be the best choice. Being so far away from these states, Turkey believes that this issue should be resolved peacefully. However, since the DPR Korean dictator may be quite reluctant to engage in talks, further, more serious action may and should be taken. Despite this, a cease-fire will severely decrease tensions between the nations and thus should be considered among other options such as:
 * __ Issue: The Situation in Guinea-Bissau __**
 * Strongly urging a peace treaty to be signed (since the cease-fire that was issued to stop the Korean War in 1953 is the only thing stopping the Koreas for attacking each other).
 * Sending troops to strengthen the borders.
