    POSITION PAPER

    COMMITTEE: DISEC
    AGENDA: Acquisition of Nuclear Sources
    and Weapons of Mass destruction by
    extremists with special emphasis towards
    combating illicit brokering activities.”

    COUNTRY: KUWAIT

    Kuwait is a developing country committed to regional stability and global peace. Kuwait

    does not condone the use of nuclear weaponry or any form of nuclear energy 99.9% of its

    energy is run on fossil fuels thus it is a Nuclear-weapon-free state. Kuwait has repeatedly

    supported international event efforts to prevent illicit brokering by being a part of

    relevant treaties agreements and organisations.

    Kuwait has ratified the NPT(Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) BWC(Biological

    Weapons Convention) and the CTBT(Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty).

    Kuwait has been a strong advocate for the TPNW(Treaty of the Prohibition of Nuclear

    Weapons) and has consistently voted in favour of UN resolutions that call on all states to

    sign, ratify, or accede to the treaty as soon as possible. Kuwait believes that the TPNW is

    an important step toward achieving a world without nuclear weapons, and that cosmos

    adversary to the treaty is essential. Kuwait has enhanced its national export control

    regulations to ensure strict oversight of the transfer of sensitive materials and dual-use

    technologies. This includes implementing robust licensing procedures and compliance

    checks to prevent unauthorised exports. Kuwait is an active participant in international

    fora and regularly participates in counterterrorism training. The nation is a member of


    the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and co-leads the Foreign Terrorist Fighters Working

    Group with Türkiye and the Netherlands. The United States provides military and

    defence technical assistance to Kuwait from both foreign military sales and commercial

    sources. U.S. personnel assist the Kuwait military with training, education, readiness,

    and warfighting

    Enhanced National Export Control rules: Kuwait is a supporter of more stringent

    export rules at the federal level. This calls for rigorous licensing procedures and

    compliance checks to guarantee that sensitive materials and dual-use technology are

    moved responsibly and under international laws.

    Policy Harmonisation: Kuwait supports global coordination of export control

    legislation. This requires collaborating with other nations to set uniform laws and

    procedures for the transmission of sensitive documents to narrow gaps that

    unscrupulous brokers commonly exploit.

    Public-Private Partnerships: PPPs(Public-Private Partnerships) are being incentivised

    in Kuwait. Collaboration with private-sector firms with experience and resources can

    improve monitoring and detection skills dramatically. Such collaborations can result in

    creative solutions that adapt to the changing strategies of criminal networks.

    International collaboration: Kuwait emphasises the importance of international

    collaboration in combating unlawful brokering. The country may propose the

    construction of dedicated platforms or working groups within international

    organisations to facilitate information sharing, capacity building, and international

    coordination.
