Topic A : Enhancing International Collaborations To Prevent Cross-Border Attacks

Safe and secure cross-borders are a necessity for any country to continue to thrive, progress,
and take care of its current and future citizens. The increase in cross-border attacks, whether
executed via private corporations or supported by governments, has intensified in last few
years, undermining worldwide peace and safety. These attacks embody cyber warfare,
terrorism, and armed invasions posing a hazard to countrywide independence, financial
stability, and the protection of civilians. As a founding member of the United Nations, the
Kingdom of Netherlands is strongly devoted to keeping global safety through collaborative
technique to addressing cross-border assaults, highlighting the importance of international
relations, sharing of intelligence, and global felony frameworks. Netherlands recognizes that
cross-border threats are transnational.

As a member of the European Union (EU) and NATO, the Netherlands actively engages in
joint safety endeavors to strengthen cross-border safety and prevent attacks. The Netherlands
has made big investments in cybersecurity, contributing to EU and NATO cyber protection
strategies, identifying that cyber threats frequently precede physical attacks. The Kingdom
additionally emphasizes complying with global regulation and diverse disarmament treaties.
As cyber threats continue to increase in frequency and complexity, Netherlands has helped in
organising a global regulatory frame devoted to stopping cyberattacks. This frame will
coordinate cybersecurity initiatives, sell the improvement of cyber protection, and set up a
felony framework for containing people responsible for cross-border cyber intrusions.

The cross-border attacks are a common threat being faced by most countries and therefore the
key strategy followed by Netherlands is linking internal and external security of various
countries through sharing of intelligence and on a policy prespective. It believes that
collaboratively strengthening global agreements—which include the Arms Trade Treaty
(ATT) and the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings—can act
as critical deterrents to cross-border attacks. The Netherlands advocates for a unified
worldwide reaction to cross-border threats, improving information-sharing networks amongst
intelligence and regulation enforcement businesses worldwide. Improved cooperation
amongst UN member states can result in identification and neutralization of threats earlier
than they materialize into assaults.

Recognizing that many nations lack the sources for surveillance for their borders,
Netherlands supports technical guide and schooling to reinforce border controls, surveillance
technologies, and cybersecurity defenses to such nations. Netherlands believes that
international relations ought to stay a key aspect in stopping cross-border conflicts. Its
objectives is to make use of preventive strategies like mediation through international
relations and peacful missions in areas prone to conflict, making sure that cross-border
conflicts are addressed through talks in preference to force.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is ready to collaborate with the global network to prevent
cross-border attacks and believes that a peaceful, and cooperative worldwide surroundings
may be achieved.
Topic B - Defining International Standards For The Use Of Autonomous Weapons

The speedy improvement of Autonomous Weapons Systems (AWS) marks a large

technological development in current warfare. AWS can pick out and interact with targets
without direct human intervention. These structures will revolutionize defense strategies,
however, they pose extreme worries concerning responsibility and compliance with
International Humanitarian Law (IHL).

The Kingdom of the Netherlands recognizes the dual-use nature of self-sufficient technology.
While there are key benefits, which include decreased human casualties and improved
precision in defense, Netherlands stresses that without the right regulation, AWS may cause
illegal acts, human rights violations, and unintentional escalations of warfare. Netherlands is
devoted to running with the global network to set up clear, enforceable requirements that
adjust the improvement and deployment of those structures.

Netherlands strongly supports a careful and accountable method to the usage of AWS,
advocating for sturdy global frameworks that emphasize the want for responsibility,
transparency, and moral considerations. The Kingdom believes that AWS should observe
present global legal guidelines, which include the Geneva Conventions and the legal
guidelines of armed warfare. The standards of humanity should be upheld regardless of the
usage of superior technology.

Netherlands advocates for an established order of complete global requirements that govern
the research, improvement, and deployment of AWS. These requirements should make
certain that AWS complies with global humanitarian regulation.

To preserve moral requirements, Netherlands supports the idea of human interventions over
AWS. This method that human operators should override the choices to avoid casualties. To
keep responsibility and avoid misuse of AWS technologies in warfare situations the final
decision should be made by a human commander. Netherlands also encourages greater
engagement with technology companies and AI experts to ensure that AWS technologies are
developed with an understanding of their broader societal and ethical implications.

Netherlands hopes that all of AWS's technologies go through rigorous moral and felony
evaluations before its deployment. These evaluations should examine compliance with global
humanitarian regulations and human rights requirements. Netherlands believes that such
evaluations are important to make sure that AWS is used responsibly and that it no longer
undermine international balance or conflicts.

Netherlands supports the establishment of an international agency to monitor the use of AWS.
They also advocate all global requirements that govern the research, improvement, and
deployment of AWS. These discussions are critical to growing a place's knowledge of the
dangers posed through AWS and to figuring out sensible solution for those dangers.

Netherlands recognizes that all countries don’t have access to the superior technologies like
AWS, and therefore need guidance, increased international cooperation to help such nations
build their regulatory and operational capacities. Netherlands supports providing training and
guidance for governing the use of AWS. This will ensure that all states can participate in the
global governance of AWS.
