The General Assembly First Committee: Disarmament and International Security (DISEC), deals with and seeks to find solutions to issues relating to disarmament, global challenges, and threats to peace. During this model, the committee will debate on “Preventing the Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in the Middle East” and “Tackling Illegal Arms Trade in Africa”. Today’s debate started with the reading of the opening speeches and continued into an unmoderated caucus. Delegations then expressed their hopes to abandon, modify, or maintain the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or so called Nuclear Deal with Iran. The United States, which had previously withdrawn from the JCPOA under the Trump Administration, now showed itself willing to return to the Nuclear Deal under the possibility of adjustments. Meanwhile, Iran, while not in total opposition to the deal which it is the focus of, hoped to negotiate better terms so as to relieve its economy from the economic sanctions imposed by foreign states. In response, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Israel expressed their concerns that agreements with Iran should not put the security of the region at stake, and showed their support for maintaining or increasing economic sanctions.
Towards the later stages of the session, the United States presented a proposal creating a International Socioeconomic Relief and Nuclear Proliferation Agency, aimed at providing economic and social relief for Middle Eastern countries involved in Non-proliferation treaties. While questions on the proposal were raised, such funding sources, the proposal's social development focus was well received.
