Your Excellenices, Mr and Madam Chairperson, fellow delegates and honored guests The Republic of Egypt is a country with Cairo as its capital. The first issue is regarding the dispute over the South China sea territorial claims. Egypt believes this issue is of great significance because this area is considered to be the most valuable area for trade, around 5.3 trillion dollars of goods passing by. Since the start of the dispute, Egypt has always backed a peaceful solution to the South China sea issue. The delegate of Egypt is very interested to cooperate with other countries to produce a resolution to settle the territorial dispute. The second issue is about granting diplomatic asylum for political dissidents. After the Arab Spring, there has been an increase in political dissidents. Meanwhile, Egypt considers diplomatic asylum as a basic human right, especially with rising tensions and global conflicts. The republic of Egypt is delighted to create a resolution to ensure diplomatic asylum for political dissidents.

VETO
The Security Council has 5 countries that have permanent “veto” powers, which are:
• The United States of America
• The United Kingdom

• The Russian Federation
If one of these countries decided to “veto” a submitted clause, the decision is final and it automatically fails and cannot be resubmitted without full re-drafting.

Resolution Writing
24
• Be sure to follow the format for resolutions provided by the conference organizers. Each conference may have a slightly different format. (Usually the same, but ask chairs for details)
• Create a detailed resolution. For example, if your resolution calls for a new program, think about how it will be funded and what body will manage it.
• Try to cite facts whenever possible.• Be realistic! Do not create objectives for your resolution that cannot
be met. Make sure your body can take the action suggested. For example, the General Assembly can't sanction another country – only the Security Council can do so.
• Try to find multiple sponsors. Your committee will be more likely to approve the resolutions if many delegates contribute ideas.
