    (CADMUN)
    The American School of Durango
    General Assembly
    Country: Iraq
    Topic A: Revising the Responsibilities of the United Nations Blue Helmets, with the
    Purpose of Better Peacekeeping Missions.
    School: Instituto Universitario Anglo Español
    Delegate: Ricardo Ontiveros Olivas
    I. Background
    United Nations Peacekeeping began in 1948 when the Security Council authorized the
    deployment of UN military observers to the Middle East.The mission's role was to monitor
    the Armistice Agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbours. Since then the UN
    Peacekeepers provide security and the political and peacebuilding support to help countries
    make the difficult, early transition from conflict to peace.
    UN Peacekeeping is guided by three basic principles:
     Consent of the parties;
     Impartiality;
     Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate.

    II. Iraq’s point of View


    The situation in Iraq remains volatile after years of wars, sanctions and conflicts. Since the
    fall of Saddam Hussein and the Ba’ath Party in 2003, modern day Iraq has slowly emerged
    as a democratic state. Nevertheless, the people of Iraq are still suffering the consequences of
    economic stagnation and reduced access to essential services.

    III. Iraq’s solution


    Set up in May 1948, UNTSO (United Nations Truce Supervision Organization) was the first
    ever peacekeeping operation established by the United Nations. Since then, UNTSO military
    observers have remained in the Middle East to monitor ceasefires, supervise armistice
    agreements, prevent isolated incidents from escalating and assist other UN peacekeeping
    operations in the region to fulfill their respective mandates. The United Nations has been
    operating in Iraq since 1955 through a variety of programmes. Since 2007, the UN has
    progressively increased its presence in Iraq and plans to continue expanding operations
    throughout the country. The UN continues to be present in Iraq to respond to the needs of the
    Iraqi people, and support their efforts to achieve a peaceful and prosperous future.
