Topic: Central African Republic Conflict

The Special Political Committee,
Acknowledging the failure of previous internal peace treaties between the rebel groups in C.A.R. and the
C.A.R. government that ultimately resulted in continuation of hostilities and call for international
response,
Taking into consideration the UN’s resolution 2127 that established MISCA, an army force composed
from the African Union and funded my member states and others to aid in peace but was never a UN
peacekeeping force,
Expecting the enforcement of the Libreville agreements by the new regime to hold a legislative election
and also the following of the Declaration of N’Djamena which is to organize a free election in the
country and to stop the violence,
Bearing in mind the failed international attempts to construct a resolution in the UN Security council to
send peacekeeping forces to protect civilians and stabilize the country’s current warring situation
including the French attempt in August 2013,
Deeply conscious of the failed ceasefire in January 2013 which eventually led to the outbreak of fighting
once again before the coup d’état in March 2013 when the C.A.R.’s president was removed from power,
Fully aware of the military support of the countries of C.A.R., South Africa, and France as well as the
support of the United States government and other non-combative support from other African nations,
Concerned for the stability of the country as riots have broken out and rebel groups have committed
acts against innocent civilians,
Alarmed by the estimated thousands of civilians, army forces, and foreign troops that have been killed in
the fighting between the rebels and C.A.R forces,
Keeping in mind the over 200,000 internally displaced people who fled from there cities during the rebel
and government fighting in the northern bush are of Central Africa,
Deeply Disturbed at the atrocities and human rights violations committed by the rebel groups (CPJP,
CPSK, D C, R, and U DR a er the S l ka’s disbandment including the e ecu on, torture, and rape of
civilians which caused an additional 400,000 civilians to flee to the bush and 68,000 to flee to
neighboring countries,
Expressing the importance to reestablish the government in a way that would satisfy the C.A.R. civilians
and the rebel groups so that leaders like Bozize and Djotodia cannot commit genocidal acts or suspend
the constitution and legislative body as was done under there rule,
Emphasizing the concern of other neighboring countries that have received approximately 935,000
refugees that have fled their homes,
Noting with deep concern the possibility of future outbreaks of war between rebels, who primarily are
Muslims, and civilian militias, who are primarily Christian, as religious conflicts have already started to
appear as of November 2013 as stated by the UN when saying this country is spiraling into genocide,
1.
Calls for the establishment of a UN peacekeeping force that would include soldiers from the
African Union of all backgrounds to eliminate ethnic and religious discrimination during the
peace mission;
2.
Accepts the previous mission MISCA and affirms the continuation of it in accordance with the
peace keeping force to maintain the establishment of the new regime;
3.

4.
Endorses the creation of an international fund headed by member states and NGO’s such as the
Red Cross to help send relief money to the displaced civilians;
5.
Encourages the creation of an arms embargo on the C.A.R. to prevent the flow of weapons that
could possibly prolong the conflict;
6.
Supports the UNHCR statement that the country is in dire need of humanitarian support and the
establishment of refugee camps both within and in neighboring countries should immediately
be instated;
7.
Further recommends the following through of the disbandment of the former S l ka rebel
groups to protect the rural towns that have been attacked and destroyed by them;

Emphasizes the organization and aid of the interim government headed by Djotodia to maintain
peace and an easy transition to the free elections stated in the Declaration of N’Djamena;
9.
Further requests an initiation of diplomatic talks overseen by neutral mediators between the
Christian and Muslim leaders in the conflict to work towards peace to help maintain
humanitarian rights and non-discrimination of all religions;
10.
Recommends that all neighboring countries continue to accept as many refugees as possible to
aid them in the escape from violence until the country has been stabilized;
11.
Requests that Secretary General of the UN Ban Ki Moon institute monthly reports on the conflict
status to make sure the peacekeeping force and other operations are successfully maintaining
peace;
12.
Authorizes larger peacekeeping forces be deployed to the capital Bangui to insure tensions stay
down as Bangui is a major battle area;
13.
Reminds other countries that supplying the C.A.R. with weapons of mass destruction or any sort
will only prolong the conflict unless the weapons being supplied are under the plan MISCA;
14.
Implores the UN Security Council to establish a border patrol to aid with the flow of refugees
and the prevention of weapons entering the country;
15.
Supports the sending of NGO’s that would aid the wounded and others throughout the country.
