Australia – Position paper

POLITICAL COMMITTEE

POPULATION: 24,6 million

GDP: 1,323 trillion USD (2017)
On the topic “Asserting national sovereignty and security
through internet firewalls following China’s model “
This kinds of methods put in danger the sovereignty and the
freedom of the people. It is well known that China is using this tool
just for keeping its population under control. Developed and cerebral
states would never agree on such a thing. Australia’s point is clear,
refusing this kind of tools because:
- The private life of the people would be in great danger
- The governments can decide which news they can present to
the people, propaganda and indoctrination possibly being on
the rise again.
- The tool would just censor every bad decision made by the
government , and it will also stop any possible opposition
movements (protests, peaceful manifestations )

On the topic “Addressing the threats of national

unilateralism as rejection of international organisations
and standards”

Australia’s position regarding this topic is a sceptic one ,

bearing in mind the fact that there are many international
standars who are very irrational, but still thinking about the fact
that isolationism could possibly emerge into military conflicts .
The international organisations such as the UN should apply
sanctions to these states who tend to isolate themselves and
indoctrinate their own people with the fact that everyone wants
their bad. Every country should have the right to decide their
future for themselves. If for example Poland and Hungary tend
to refuse the LGBTQ manifestations and rights, this is clearly a
wish of the majoritary population. Countries should be free to do
what their citizens want , but still cooperate to mentain the
international relations good.

On the topic „Dealing with separatist movements

worldwide while enforcing national integrity”

Sepparatist movements are very common nowadays. They

originate from ethnical and cultural ideas different from the ones
of the state they are living in. Australia’s position is totaly
against these„countries” .
Their ethincity and their culture should be recognised, but
they have to addapt to the fact that they are living in a
sovereign state and respect its borders. The sovereign states
should respect the culture of its national minorities, and these
currents would move away, because they are most of the times
pure political ambitions created by the ones who want some
public political jobs and want to rule someone for no real
ethnical reason.
