Greetings to the honorable chair and my fellow delegates.
As we know, mass destructive
weapons can affect a large number of people and also the environment around them. If we take an example from the past event, there is atomic bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki also the use of chemical weapon called agent orange in the Vietnam war. And if we look at the condition around us, there is a pandemic going on. Same as a weapon, a virus will know neither enemy nor friend. With the rapid development, it is possible that the covid- 19 will be abused by the terrorist. Also with the rapid spread of knowledge, it has placed weapons of mass destruction within reach of terrorist groups who intend to use them to create chaos and loss of life.And cooperation between the military, law enforcement, border patrol, — combined with appropriate legislation to prohibit terrorist activities and regulate sensitive commodities — is necessary to effectively and proactively fight against weapons of mass destruction terrorism. In order to prevent terrorist, we, argentina continued to focus the counterterrorism strategy on the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay where suspected terrorism operate. The Congress also passed Argentina's Anti-Terrorism Law in 2007, focusing on preventing money laundering for financing terror attacks.
