Example Opening Speeches / Policy Statements

Bolivia: Small Arms Trade

Bolivia has a strong negative political stance upon small arms trade. We strongly support the creation of a treaty for stronger controls by small arms traders, exporters and producers. We also believe in establishing establish a link between development and arms control, and to secure greater international financial support for import controls and destruction of illicit stockpiles. In our nation we have already made progress in eliminating the problem of small arms trade by ratifying the protocol on international firearms and ammunition, which complemented the United Nations Convention against Trans-national Organized Crime.

Slovakia: Iran Nuclear Program

The Slovak Republic recognizes that misuse of nuclear fission is major issue. As quoted by president Ivan Gasparovic at the High-level Plenary Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on September 14, 2005. “We have copious knowledge, which enables us to split the atom, but we do not have enough rationality to prevent the misuse of this nuclear fission for the manufacture of nuclear weapons.” While Slovakia may have economic ties with Iran president Ivan Gasparovic has stated that it believes when elemental human rights are being breached, for example life at the hands of nuclear weapons it would not hesitate to defend those rights: “It is evident that the satisfaction of the most elementary human needs cannot be taken for granted in a large part of the planet. On the contrary, even at the beginning of the 21st century it is necessary to fight for them.” The Slovak republic is deeply concerned with the latest report on Iran from IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei, which states that Iran does not comply with its obligations and continues to have an ongoing nuclear program. Slovakia favours continuing to further pressure Iran to return to the negotiating table.

As you may see, preparing your own opening speech is not very difficult. If you do your research, it is relatively easy to pile up the information about your country, the issue, and your country's viewpoint and turn it into a concise speech. Do not forget to include formal greeting at the beginning, and a yeild at the end of your speech.

So I hope you will all make successful representatives of your countries on Monday and Tuesday. Good luck.
