I. Committee Background
The Security Council (SC) focuses on maintaining international peace and security,
accomplishing this task by determining the existence of a possible act of aggression or threat to
peace. When such risks are detected, the Council must call upon the parties to settle their
disputes in a peaceful manner, recommending methods of adjustment or settlement. In extreme
cases, the Council has the authority to impose sanctions or authorize the use of military action
for the purpose of maintaining order. In addition, the SC is also involved in the recommendation
of Secretary Generals to the General Assembly (GA) and in the election of the International
Court of Justice’s (ICJ) judges. (“Charter of the United Nations”, 2013)
The Security Council is one of the main 6 bodies of the United Nations (“Structure and
Organization”, 2013). It is made up of 5 permanent member states and ten non-permanent
members (“Members of the Security Council”, 2013). Due to sudden economic and social
changes the current five permanent members, also known as the P-5, are the People’s Republic
of China, the Federal Republic of Southern Nigeria, the Russian Union, the German Federation,
and the United States of America. These states hold the power to veto any resolution they
disagree with. The rest of the SC members are elected by the General Assembly for two year
terms. In the case that a non-member state holds a valuable and relevant position in the issue
being discussed by the Council, the nation may participate in the discussion but cannot vote on a
resolution. Non-member participation is decided and regulated by the member-states of the SC.
According the UN Charter, decisions made by the SC are binding and member-states of the UN
must carry out the resolutions agreed upon (“The United Nations Security Council”, 2013). In
order to maintain effectiveness, the Security Council may act on the entire UN’s behalf.
Therefore, resolutions passed by the committee are final. Finally, in order for a resolution to
pass in the Security Council, at least 9 of the 15 members need to approve the proposal. The only
exception to this rule is when a P-5 country rejects the proposal, meaning it does not pass.
(“Charter of the United Nations”, 2013).
II. Introduction
Description and Definition of the Topic
A little over two centuries ago population began to rise exponentially, climbing steadily
and by the billions from the mid-2oth century to the end of the 21st. These excessive numbers
quickly began having severe effects including the depletion of natural resources, environmental
degradation, starvation, poverty, and unemployment. By 2095, population exceeded 16

billion and the world average temperature hit 20 degrees Celsius​—​6 degrees warmer than the
average in 2010. Due to these alarming statistics and widespread riots, nations finally took
action and began funding research to find solutions.
In 2097 experts in genetics, led by Albert Bustindui, created the Bustindui Vaccine,
designed to be injected upon a woman’s birth. The vaccine, also called the Sterilization Serum,
halted a woman’s ovulation process, completely eradicating the possibility of motherhood.
The Bustindui Vaccine made use of
mankind’s expanding knowledge of oncolytic viral
therapy—the primary treatment for cancer that
harnessed highly infectious engineered viruses that
targets only certain kinds of specialized cells. This
serum worked by injecting the virus into the
dermal layer of the skin near the female’s ovaries,
where the virus would thrive and await ovulation
without harming the skin. Once an ovum was
released into the fallopian tubes, the virus would
target the gamete, alter its DNA and consequently
cause the cell to produce Ovular Apoptotic
Inducing Protein (OAIP). This protein would hence signal white blood cells to attack the ovum
through phagocytosis, successfully eliminating the egg cell and sterilizing the patient.
The effects of the vaccine could only be reversed with an antiserum which, Bustindui
proposed, should only be applied if a woman and her respective partner meet several
characteristics that predict healthy, effective parenting. After a thorough application process, the
woman would receive an antiserum injection that would kill the virus, allowing ovulation to take
place.
Nations were initially reluctant to implement the vaccine, predicting strong backlash
from the public, particularly those that form part of traditionally conservative religious groups
and communities. Furthermore, the serum posed an ethical conundrum: since it is difficult to
judge an individual’s potential of becoming a successful parent, it seemed impossible to
determine who would qualify to receive the antiserum. Nevertheless, the World Health
Organization encouraged member states to adopt the vaccine since it would help resolve the
many issues that arose from overpopulation but governments did not comply.
After a catastrophic uprising in the Ivory Coast, tension rose and countries finally
gathered to develop a unified solution. The Treaty of Ivory was created, dictating that all
signatories, or ‘Allied countries’, would implement the Bustindui Vaccine in maternity wards,
hence making every female infertile until receiving the antiserum. Although at first there was
widespread anger and accusations that the Treaty violated basic human rights, eventually,
society adapted to the measure and population numbers were stabilized. In only a few decades,
global temperature began dropping, the natural rate of unemployment in Allied countries hit an

all-time low, and natural resources no longer seemed scarce. Even the nations who did
not sign the Treaty experienced positive changes.
87 years later, however, the antiserum which allowed women to become once again
fertile ceased to work. The Bustindui treatment developed a mutation that allowed it to become
resistant to said antidote, allowing the virus to survive and thrive without being affected by the
antivirals. The first signs of the antidote failure were tracked down to a village in China where
the Center of Disease Control believes the mutation originated.
The populations in the Allied countries have since decreased substantially and issues
concerning the future of their entire nations have surfaced. International efforts have tirelessly
researched the Bustindui vaccine and have attempted to placate the consequences of this
mutation but to no avail. Research facilities have also tried various ways to regenerate life
through synthetic processes— but their efforts proved futile.

The Problem
When the antiserum could no longer desterilize women, fertile women from non-Allied
nations became of utmost value. Births in countries like India where the Bustindui vaccine was
never implemented continued as they always had while Allied nations saw a complete stop to
their population growth. Countries like the United States were left with no other option than to
ease migration policies and welcome foreign, fertile women into their country in order to
populate further generations. These nations, however, have seen a lack of women actually

willing to migrate to their territories largely because Allied nations have suffered strong blows to
their economy due to the instability and uncertainty of most markets.
In the year 2186 rebel groups emerged​—​product of the men and women who refused to
accept what seemed like an inevitable demise of their nation. Seeing how previous solutions had
been ineffective, the groups turned to illegal actions, creating a black market of illegally
trafficked women from non-Allied nations. These groups, based mainly in countries such as the
United States and China, illicitly entered countries like India and Chile and captured young girls
around the age of 15 to 22. Once these women were transported to Allied countries, they were
likely to be abused and raped, used only as tools for procreation.
Understandably, the people in India, Chile, Morocco, Thailand and other countries
heavily affected by this illegal trafficking have expressed outrage and concern, demanding for
the women to be returned. Numerous protests have sparked in these countries and governments
have been forced to strengthen border security​—​something that had not been necessary for
years.
India, a key player in the technology industry, has even threatened to suspend trade and
implement an information blockage with the nations who host rebel groups, an action which
would be fatal to the Allied countries’ economies. This could cause a potential crisis seeing as
most government systems were created through India’s technology-assisting sites. Human
Rights Watch has expressed concern for the situation, and the Human Rights Council has met to
discuss the problem but not much progress has been made. The United Nations has, on multiple
occasions, also implored Allied countries to enforce punitive consequences to rebel groups and
has sanctioned the United States, China, and Brazil, but these governments have done nearly
nothing to stop these mass kidnappings. Although they do not explicitly support rebel groups,
they have made no effort to punish these unlawful actions, giving criminals an incentive to
continue kidnapping women. These governments are most likely failing to enforce their laws due
to the fact that high officials are also concerned for the future of their nations and wish to
sustain their population, but this neglect is unacceptable and harmful to the global community,
so it is crucial that a dialogue is established and better solutions are found.
III. History of the Topic
Important Events of the Century
The contraband of women in order to repopulate the world poses a series of ethical and
practical questions which the international community must confront in order to prevent a
humanitarian crisis in the future. To do this effectively, the history of each country must be
considered in order to better understand their current perspectives. The following is a timeline
of the major events that have occurred in the last 168 years:
Occupation of Syria and Northern Iraq (2018)
International Monterrey
Model United Nations Simulation
American School Foundation of Monterrey
In 2018, an intervention led by Russian troops under the request of President
Bashar al-Assad occupied Syria and Northern Iraq in order to vanquish ISIS after the
organization approached the territory of Damascus. The amount of civilian casualties qualified
the intervention as a full scale catastrophe, and led to the relinquishing of al-Assad from power,
who fled to Russia as a political refugee. The UN established an interim government and a
peacekeeping mission in the nations as it slowly moved towards stability.
Climate Change Claims Thousands of Lives (2020’s)
Due to melting ice-caps, the South Pacific experienced massive flooding in the year 2021.
The island nations of Kiribati, Vanuatu, and Samoa become uninhabitable; meanwhile, other
nations in the region were left reeling from the effects. Indonesia, faced a humanitarian crisis
after losing 20 of its inhabited islands to the natural disaster. Consequently, South Pacific
nations experienced a refugee crisis as their populations fled the flooded islands. The 2021
floods served as a global wake-up call the to growing effects of climate change. To this day,
Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines continue to struggle with ocean-levels. Indonesia has
lead the initiative to create climate-change resistant cities.
The First Human Landing on Mars (2027)
On November 17th, 2027, Grace Schultz took her first steps on Mars, marking a
milestone for humanity and womankind. The first manned mission to Mars was coordinated by
the American, Japanese and Chinese space agencies, NASA, JAXA and CNSA, respectively. The
mission was made possible by rocket-propelling technology created by the space exploration
company SpaceX, which also aided with funding for the project. The Mars landing was historic,
not only as a scientific feat but as a turning point in man’s space odyssey. For that reason,
following the landing, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) revisited its
convention on the peaceful uses of outer space, stressing the need for the prevention of the
exploitation of Mars on behalf of the global community.
Conclusion of Mexico-US War (2020-2030)
Tension between these neighbor nations can be dated back to the first
Mexican-American War in the nineteenth century, when the Americans seized New Mexico and
California and invaded Mexico's northern provinces. Strained relations continued and fluctuated
over the following centuries, yet reached a peak once again when President Donald J. Trump
came into office in 2017. He did not allow American companies to expand in Mexico, further
damaging its neighboring country and causing Mexican currency to depreciate dramatically.
Due to this economic crisis, the Mexican government approved a 12% increase in the cost of
construction, causing drastic reductions in construction sites​—​consequentially diminishing the
number of employed workers. The price of oil also reached an all-time high with a 20% increase;
this, together with an ever-continuing cycle of corrupt politicians, provoked police officers and
other authorities to bribe young adults into rioting in the streets. Boiling tensions among
International Monterrey

Mexican citizens against its own government soon gave rise to a coup d’état; an escalating rise of
nationalism gave way to the reconquering of its northern provinces, lead by General Luis Gracia.
Over a span of ten years, Mexico managed to take back Texas, and relations with the United
States ended on rocky surfaces once more.
International Community Mitigates Catastrophic Earthquake (2031)
After several earthquakes and tremors that had proven detrimental to the region’s
stability, the United States’ West Coast suffered a devastating earthquake quake, culminating in
the total eradication of the area by the year 2046. The states of California, Oregon, and
Washington were completely wiped off the map, resulting in a drastic decrease in the people’s
morale and a devastating blow to the country’s economy as a whole. The Mexican states of Baja
California, and Baja California Sur, also suffered losses, although, not as severely.
This earthquake was due to the San Andreas Fault, a tectonic plate located in this region,
making it the most volatile area, susceptible to increasingly detrimental natural disasters. With
desperate efforts to try and help those affected and provide protection to many, the United
Nations developed effective solutions to mitigate the effects of the disaster.
The Second Korean War (2048-2058)
Relations between the two Koreas had been tense since the mid-20th century, especially
considering North Korea’s insistence on developing a nuclear program. In 2046, amidst border
skirmishes, North Korea tested a hydrogen bomb close to South Korean waters, and the state
was affected by radioactive fallout. Armed confrontation occurred when two South Korean
soldiers on a border patrol were shot and killed by North Korean snipers. South Korea declared
war on July 23, 2048, claiming it was acting in self defense. The United States immediately
backed South Korea in the struggle, sending logistical and militaristic support. Meanwhile,
China moved to protect North Korea from a US and South Korea lead coalition. The conflict
lasted for a decade and ended with the total occupation of North Korea by South Korea. The
Second Korean War is considered one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 21st century – the death
toll approaches 5 million. Human rights organizations reported multiple war crimes occurring
on both sides of the struggle. The Second Korean War is also the first documented use of mass
biological weapons. Nearing the end of the war, the United States and South Korea, in violation
of International Humanitarian Law, used a viral bomb on the North Korean capital of
Pyongyang, where the last of the North Korean troops were stationed. The incident caused the
death of over 500,000 civilians. Currently, both the United States and South Korea are being
accused of war crimes over the incident.
Information Blockages Ravage the Media (2067)
After South Korea was declared on trial for war crimes, reports of missing information
and censorship have surfaced. Governmental websites and public documents have seemingly
International Monterrey
Model United Nations Simulation
American School Foundation of Monterrey
disappeared; what’s more, there have been claims of forced censorship in the media. Apparently
these mishandlings of information are attempts at preventing the general public from finding
out more ‘incriminating’ information on their role in the Korean War, among other things.
However, South Korea isn’t the first country to begin said blockages, other countries have also
seen the rise of governmental censorship, albeit some more than others. The United States have
also begun to use said blockages against Mexico; using a plethora of IP addresses linked to the
country, the US restricted their access to American servers - therefore making them lose access
to most popular websites and media. As tensions rose between them and Mexico, the US began
to forcefully block any mention of the country through any medium, while also avoiding any type
of communication with them, much to Mexico’s dismay. This has only sparked more conflict
between the two, as a severe avoidance of communication has rendered any type of diplomatic
solution impossible.
International Tensions Rise as Country-Owned Satellites Are Discovered (2072)
As tensions began to quell and war-torn nations started to prosper again, countries
began to move towards larger, state-owned satellites as viable mediums to stream their
technologies. Communications belonging to a certain country are then relayed to the satellite as
it helped as a more convenient medium for communication technology.
Food Printing Becomes a Reliable Medium (2099)
After years of scientific research and development, a team of Nigerian scientists were
able to manufacture the first food printer. Although a very costly way of producing food, it is a
viable medium, offering food to any and all. While plans for distribution and costs haven’t been
narrowed down, it is safe to assume that the food filaments will also prove to be very expensive.
The device works through filaments loaded with ingredients and chemicals, which - at the
request of the user - will combine to make certain meals. The United Nations hoped to use the
devices in order to tackle world hunger more effectively, but the general public is still skeptical
about any potential health hazards coming from the produced food.
International Currency (2100) and the Cyber Economic Recession (2120)
In the beginning of the 22nd century, the foreign exchange market experienced never
before seen instability, creating worldwide conflicts in imports and exports. Soaring exchange
rates in the US Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the Swiss Franc, and the Euro led the global
community to seek solutions. The failure of the bitcoin was at first a discouraging factor against
the creation of an international coin but after various ECOSOC reunions, the DEYP was created.
Countries were slow to adapt the currency but after several years it became the most accepted
form of money.
On the morning of April 17, 2120, the international stock market network was hacked by
a group of cyber terrorists. As a result of the attack, the entire system was shut down for a day
International Monterrey

and billions of dollars were lost in illicit monetary transactions carried out by the terrorists.
Meanwhile, across the world, millions of stockholders pulled out their shares, desperate to sell
them before they lost all value in the international market. The system shut-down, coupled with
the rapid flee of investors, caused a system collapse which resulted in a global recession. The
country that was most affected by the recession was the United States, which had been the
market giant, and whose economy was dependent on virtual monetary exchange systems.
The Division of Brazil and the Reformation of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (2139)
When several South American countries began adopting the Bustindui Vaccine, Brazil
was suffering economically as a consequence of overpopulation in the nation. The country
quickly reached out to the Allied Nations to gain access to the vaccine. Yet, a small region in the
south of the country was reluctant to allow medical centers to acquire the vaccine. This caused
several internal disputes as opposition leaders lead riots and other hostile protests against the
nation-wide acceptance of the controversial solution. Unable to come to any agreement, the
country divided into the Federative Republic of Brazil in the south and the pro-vaccine nation of
Brazil. As a consequence, the smaller, neighboring countries underwent various political
transformations. The countries Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia had become
politically weak in the face of economic turmoils caused by overpopulation and decided to join to
form the stronger Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This newly formed nation was strictly
against the implementation of the vaccine seeing as the population was largely Catholic.
Historical Case Studies
Overpopulation Protests and The First Trials (2097)
Towards the end of the century, overpopulation rose to uncontrollable proportions. All
over the world, protests spurred due to unemployment, global warming, and even traffic. The
amount of people increased to 16 billion, which led the international community to look for a
solution, with many disparate ideas, ranging from controlled births, to forced genocide. After
rigorous experimentation led by Dr. Albert Bustindui, a vaccine—called the ‘Bustindui Vaccine’,
was developed. This development forced women to lose their ovum, after the virus manipulated
their white blood cells and created a chain reaction in their reproductive system.
Bustindui tested in over one hundred babies created from in-vitro birth and was
successful in each trial.
The Treaty of Ivory (2098)
The inability to produce enough food supply for the world’s population had serious
ramifications on social stability and economical solidity. Soon, riots surged in the dense cities of
New York and Beijing. Citizens who used to live in harmony with each other, now fought in
public over scarce grocery supplies and insufficient access to social services. In the year 2098 the
country of Côte d’Ivoire erupted in chaos, when this West African nation’s civilians suffered
International Monterrey
Model United Nations Simulation
American School Foundation of Monterrey
through one of the hottest years in the century. Riots soon erupted in the capital city of
Yamoussoukro when its largest recorded population could no longer be sustained. The violence
and hunger continued until the living conditions became unbearable. Concerned by the
incidents in the Ivory Coast, representatives of countries around the globe united in the small
African country to create and discuss the implementation of the Treaty of Ivory. The treaty
outlines the international community’s endorsement of the Bustindui vaccine, recognizing the
medical breakthrough as the most probable of addressing the pressing issue of overpopulation.
The countries that participated in the signing of the Treaty of Ivory became known as the Allied
nations opposed to other nations who did not agree with the temporary sterilization vaccine for
various reasons.
The Children’s Cry (January 1st, 2099)
On January 1st, of 2099, the first infant was injected with the sterilization serum at the
Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City, United States. Due to the city’s liberal, diverse, and
open-minded community, government officials anticipated a celebratory response from New
York citizens. However, they were very mistaken. Upon hearing the news, New York citizens
(especially women) got their children and abandoned their homes to hit the streets and marched
towards the hospital to protest against the sterilization of women. Bringing their young offspring
to the hospital center was intended to represent the value of reproduction and the beauty of
female fertility. This protest was historically known as “The Children’s Cry,” being identified as
the first protest in history where children and babies took part in the riot. After several days of
failed attempts to capture the government’s interest or attention disappointed women—with
their toddlers—returned to their homes. A couple of weeks later, the Statue of Liberty became
showered with genetically-modified, green roses left by New York citizens as a peaceful sign of
unconformity with the government’s abrupt actions and the neglection of female fertility.
Unfair selection trials (the people v. the government)
In order for a woman to receive the antiserum and again become capable of procreating,
governments began testing couples in order to see whether they were worthy of being a parents
or not. This machine tested parents on multiple levels— intellectual prestige, physical fitness,
health, and emotional empathy—to predict the couple’s success in raising a child. It was already
difficult enough for parents to be able to apply to said tests; these are highly expensive, as the
cost is also riddled with high taxation in order to sustain the program. These exams are also very
time consuming, due to the extensive nature of what areas they cover for parents, and are highly
demanding; parents are forced to avoid a variety of foods, activities and expenses for months, in
order to get the most accurate test results.
Tests were rigorous in order to narrow down possible parents, with the objective of
raising the healthiest and most ideal children for future generations to come. However, it wasn’t
long before many parents and people worldwide began to protest against the government,
International Monterrey
Model United Nations Simulation
American School Foundation of Monterrey
deeming it ‘inhumane’ for them to take a mother’s right to bear a child. As the tests were so
intricate, many couples failed often, which led to a very small percentage of people around the
world being able to have children. Riots and protests have taken place around the world and
there was widespread frustration and discontent but gradually the world began to accept it.
The Last Generation (​the generation)
Beginning the year 2184, the generation of youngsters born during the last two decades came to
be known as “the last generation,” often denominated as just “​the generation” or Generation T.
In Allied countries, tensions rose among this group as the realization of their status hit them:
they would be the last to push the economy forward, the last to keep ideas coming and national
processes moving—when their retirement came, their nations would be doomed for stagnation
and a quick decline. Not only is this preoccupation nationalist, but also inherently personal. If
there are no active, abundant, and working generations below them, Generation T faces the
impracticality of living in retirement without the retirement benefits, or without descendants to
further help them in their old age. Naturally, this generation became the primary contributor to
protests in Allied nations, concerning the faults of the Bustindui vaccine and the situation that
their governments put them in.
Migration Reforms and Visas
As an alternative solution to the lack of an effective antiserum, governments began
reforming their migration policies to promote the influx of women from countries that had not
adopted the Bustindui vaccine since they still possessed the ability to bear a child. Thus nations
like Brazil, Australia, USA, Russia, and Germany loosened their border security to promote the
flow of women immigrants, with hopes of lessening the effect of the exponential decline in
population. Of course, with these reformations, several additional problems rose. Since the
“fast-pass” border and migration policies where exclusively for women, men in these countries
who had strongly desired to migrate to another country (but had never been able to do so due to
strict border control) called the discriminative policies “sexist and degrading to men” (Morton).
While the reason for the new migration policies applied only to women, several men still claimed
that they would not be content with letting their wives leave to another country, accusing the
government of being “immoral” for trying to break families apart. Nevertheless, even when the
government neglected these complaints and set forth the migration reforms, although migrant
women did reproduce, the effect was inconsequential for only a few babies were born. For all of
these reasons, these migration reforms were rapidly suspended, and served as proof that the
predicament would be much more complex to solve as many would expect.
California Returns to Being a US State
After the tragic earthquake of the 2031, some cities in California were physically
separated from the US. Although at first this resulted in financial instability, deaths, and general
International Monterrey
Model United Nations Simulation
American School Foundation of Monterrey
confusion eventually the geographical change was accepted and overcome. Before the disaster,
however, the representatives and citizens of California had expressed discontent at various
political moves taken by the US and these ideological differences reemerged as soon as the
country recovered from the earthquake. Due to the physical and political separation, the state
finally separated from the US after a historical vote in 2072.
The decision caused both the US and California to go into a deep recession but an
effective response from both governments and federal banks solved the economic crisis and
allowed the then separate nations to thrive. Still, both countries struggled with overpopulation
and were thus both signatories in the Treaty of Ivory.
When the antiserum lost its effect, however, the population in the US and California
gradually declined until it reached a critical low. In a desperate move to increase its numbers,
the United States proposed that California reconsider its 2072 vote and return to being a
member state. In 2183, it did after a soaring 87% voted in favor of returning to the US.
Holi, the First Kidnappings
For hundreds of years now, Hindu’s in India and people all over the world have held the
Holi festival, also known as the festival of colors between the end of February and the middle of
March. Holi celebrates the victory of good over evil, the end of winter, the welcoming of spring
and it is a time to enjoy yourself. During Holi festivals people buy powdered color and throw it
to the people around them creating a beautiful, colorful scenario but also an ideal time for
kidnappings.
In the Holi festivals of the year 2186 it was reported that in total at least 1250 woman
had been kidnapped. At least 520 of those were kidnapped at the Vrindavan (a town in India)
festival. Eyewitnesses have reported having seen strange looking man at the festival and did
notice a numerous decrease of woman at the festival from start to finish. However, they were not
suspicious anything had happened, they just thought the woman had grown tired and had
already left.
This event is thought to be the first mass kidnapping for repopulation purposed since the
antiserum had stopped working. The identity of the kidnappers was never found and neither
were the woman, it was very hard to recognize the faces of the kidnappers from the security
cameras between all of the colored powdered and eyewitnesses claimed they had dark masks
covering their face. Some blamed the Americans for the incident, others blamed the Russians
but both this country's dismissed claims against them saying they were not involved in the
atrocities. Since this event a number of countries grew concerned that something similar might
happen to them and the idea of kidnapping for repopulation purposes was born.
It is thought these women were taken back to the kidnapper’s home country and raped to
induce a forced pregnancy. It is thought these girls are all kept in the same area of houses until
they go into labor after which point they are raped again. This area is dubbed a “sex camp”.

The United German Confederation(2185)
By the year 2181 Germany was suffering from population shortages due to the fact that
the antiserum had ceased to work. Because Germany was part of the nations allied to the vaccine
this had an enormous impact in their population which later impacted their fast paced economy
due to the lack of workers. At this point Germany and Austria were in a crisis and had to resolve
it somehow as fast as possible before their government and economies would collapse
completely.
On the other hand, Austria had always been against the vaccine because of their deeply
religious head of state, Edda Bischoffshausen. He thought it was inhumane and morally wrong
to inject woman so that they would stop being fertile. However, because the country never
adopted the vaccine Austria quickly became overpopulated and the unemployment rates were
through the roof.
In the year 2185, German president Patrick Friedrich decided it was vital for the future of
their countries to solve the problem. President Patrick Friedrich decided that the most logical
solution was to become one with Austria. By October of that year President Friedrich arranged a
meeting with Austrian head of state, Edda Bischoffshausen. President Friedrich presented his
idea to Edda whom willingly accepted and decided to call this new nation the United German
Confederation. After that meeting both nations continued having a number of meetings to
discuss certain matters and by April of the following year the United German Confederation was
born.
Past UN Actions
In the past, the United Nations, specifically the World Health Organization, endorsed the
Bustindui Vaccine saying “its implementation into all countries [was] vital for our sustainability
and future. To ensure a future for us and for our children [it] encourage all member states to
implement this vaccine into their public health care systems and provide it to the citizens”. The
United Nations even provided underdeveloped nations with supply of the Bustindui treatment
for their public health care facilities.
When the antiserum for the vaccine stopped working, the United Nations Secretary
General Sophie Château declared a state of emergency for the UN knew the consequences that
could arise from this. As the problem of illegal woman trafficking arose the UN requested all
member states but specifically Allied countries to apply consequences to kidnapper rebel groups
and has even sanctioned countries such as the United States, China, and Brazil who have shown
an unwillingness to solve the issue.
The Human Rights Council has also met various times to discuss this problem and has
passed resolution 8431. This resolution states that fines will be charged to countries who legally
support or encourage the illegal trafficking of women. However, since the kidnapping of these
woman are done with extreme precision and carefulness it is very hard to identify this groups of
International Monterrey

people and if they are indeed supported by their government. Other resolutions that have been
proposed by the Security Council and the General Assembly were rejected by Allied nations and
the necessary votes in favor were not reached.
IV. Key Players and Points of View
Allied Nations
Over half of the countries in the Security Council have signed the Treaty of Ivory and
implemented the Bustindui vaccine. The first nations to sign it were Brazil, Commonwealth of
Australia, French Republic, The United German Confederation, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kenya,
Korea, Mexico, People’s Republic of China, Republic of South Africa, Republic of Tunisia,
Russian Union, Southern Republic of Nigeria, United States of America.
Although all of these nations supported the vaccine, United States and China were
particularly strong advocates for it and even swayed other nations to adopt the resolution. All
Allied nations thrived for years after the treaty, convincing the Federal Republic of Somalia,
Republic of Indonesia, Republic of Tunisia to become signatories too.
These initial benefits backfired in 2184 when the antiserum ceased to work. Before long,
social and economic repercussions arose. Riots and chaotic violence seeped into the panicked
populations and many went into deep recessions. Different solutions were implemented. The
German Confederacy and the US opted for changes in geopolitical borders and countries likes
the Russian Union responded with effective economic reforms. The population’s worry persisted
nonetheless, resulting in the aforementioned mass kidnappings. Rebel kidnapping groups are
most prevalent in the nations of the United States, China, Russian Union, and Korea and their
victims are mostly from India, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and the Republic of Turkey.
Although no Allied nation officially supports these kidnappings, none have offered public
condemnation and have mostly voted against resolutions to sanction them. Tension between the
Allied Nations and the Nations Against Bustindui is climbing and it is crucial that solutions are
found before the conflict escalates to a bigger threat.
Nations Against Bustindui
The Treaty of Ivory faces a stern opposition at the hands of many countries who are
strongly against the endorsement and implementation of the Bustindui Vaccine. Among the
opposing forces, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Brazil, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Ireland,
Turkey, and the State of Israel-Palestine lead the movement.
Nations Against Bustindui have endorsed and begun investigations to try and find the
origin of the kidnappings that were in the hands of states in favor of the Treaty of Ivory. Both
India and Venezuela have spearheaded the movement in taking the issues of countries
endorsing kidnappings to the international court, but to no avail, as any evidence and reports

presented have been denied sharply by any nation held responsible. Those against, argue that it
is “inhumane for governments to decide who gets to be a parent, and who doesn’t”.
NAB say that the treatment of families and the exclusivity of the program advocate
elitism and racism as well, since communities of those selected have assumed the mentality of
superiority on the rest of the populace. Because of the social problems that have been sparked
through the treaty and its policy, NAB are taking any medium they can in order to stop Allied
Nations and their agenda.
The NAB have tried several times to impose sanctions on the Allied Nations, but have
been acutely opposed, through several allied powers vetoing and voting against resolutions with
sanction proposals. Allied nations don’t officially support kidnappings, but the NAB insist that
these disappearances and trafficking of people are actively endorsed by governments; while
there is substantial evidence to declare the Allies responsible, denial at the hands of these
nations have stopped any opposition in their tracks.
V. Possible Solutions
Scientists today are trying to regenerate life through processes that do not involve the
partial sterilization of women. Major economic superpowers are investing in opening trade of
fertilized egg cells. The safe handling of these resources must be a priority to ensure that black
markets won’t gain access to these products of high-demand. The Fertile Women Organization is
a non-governmental organization run by volunteers that focuses on protecting the scarce
population of women who are still able to conceive. There has also been research facilities
established to further research and measure the implications of cloning fertile women.
Experimentation has begun recently and no concrete results have been published.
In nations such as India, there is a steadily growing population of fertile women. Thus, is
is critical for them to be treated in an effective manner. While it is important for these women
who still maintain the capacity to reproduce to continue reproducing, it is also important to keep
in mind that the overall status and treatment of these women should be effectively dealt with.
Providing incentives for women to reproduce is a key component to be considered, since
otherwise, they might be easily attracted by the economic benefits that joining the black market
may offer.
Considering the rise of black markets and illegal trafficking of women, there are many
solutions that could take place. For instance, a uniform and tight border security policy could
detain the international trafficking of women. If countries are encouraged to tighten their
security policy, place more border patrol officers on duty, and initiate a large-scale searching
team, the black markets could potentially be put to a stop. In such a manner, nations and
governments all around the globe could come up with ethical, humanitarian solutions in order
for the entire world to be inhabited by fertile women and thus restore the previous growing
populations.

VI. Current Status
In the last few months over 2,000 women have gone missing from various NAB
countries. Border security around the world is being strengthened and governments are
spending massive amounts of money on bettering technology to prevent kidnappers from
entering the country. In December of 2186 leaders from India hosted a conference to discuss the
matter and only leaders from Brazil attended. This only further increased tensions, particularly
with India, which is all the more concerning given India’s technological power and influence
over other countries. At the same time, research is being conducted all over the world in order to
find another antiserum but the outlook is looking bleak. For these reasons it is crucial that the
global community finds immediate solutions to reduce tensions and stop the kidnappings.
