2018 PERU POSITION PAPER
Juneau-Douglas High School
Action by our own government and other friendly nations has been taken in order to avoid conflicts and create better foreign relations in general. Peru has not been involved in any significant international conflicts since the end of its border dispute with Ecuador in 1998. If conflicts or disagreements arise, Peru works hard to maintain good relations, as well as be cooperative and productive. We also expect this from all other countries who are a part of the United Nations. Relations with Ecuador have been described as extraordinary by former president Alan Garcia, due to their willingness to be cooperative and productive.
Furthermore, as previously stated to the UN in 2017, Peru does not support the use of nuclear weapons as means of solving international unrest, thereby contributing to the support of international peace, security, and cooperation via productive corridors.
Peru believes better communication and cooperation policies will benefit all nations, and in turn this will help to support positive foreign relations, increase trade, and allow the general public to flourish. Efficient communication policies are a vital piece missing from current foreign affairs among many countries. Peru is calling for these to be put into place by the UN. If these policies are not followed, the UN should enforce them first by attempting negotiation with the disgruntled nation(s), and if negotiations do not work the UN should take all measures possible, such as using intense economic sanctions, to reconcile matters before turning to war or other means of physical force.
