This legislation was filed in the Special Political and Decolonization category
Presented as part of the MUN B 2023 conference
| 1 | Urging other countries to responsibly remove or prevent religious pressures in a method that |
| 2 | produces a fair and accessible government. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Stressing the construct of religion tied to government creates an internal and external discourse |
| 5 | between borders and communities. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Recognizing these religions can spread rapidly and globally, causing international destruction in |
| 8 | governmental structures. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Highlighting the possibility of international agreement in correcting and reorganizing any relation |
| 11 | of religion to government levels, while keeping civil liberties of the people. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Declares that interfering with government positions and decisions can create prejudice against |
| 14 | minority beliefs and ethnicities, however, through the use of methods such as collaboration to help |
| 15 | economies and systems function without any religious tension and conflict between independent |
| 16 | countries/governments, issues include but not limited to affiliation with crime groups, corrupt |
| 17 | control from leadership, laws connecting to religious ties, terms, and ideas, and ideals based off |
| 18 | religion not code of ethics can be solved and can help stablilize the country by working to remove |
| 19 | possible religious connections tied to government forces. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Defines radicalization of religious institutions as a serious strain on government stability and prove |
| 22 | to be severely consequential and dangerous. The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) |
| 23 | defines religious radicalization as a process, by which a person to an increasing extent accepts the |
| 24 | use of undemocratic or violent means, including terrorism, to reach a specific political/ideological |
| 25 | objective. However, not all those who hold extremist beliefs commit the act of radicalization or |
| 26 | terrorism. Efforts to combat radicalization, like Belgium's national Radicalization strategy, address |
| 27 | Radical violence committed, including foreign influences, prison radicalization, and internet-based |
| 28 | radical fighters. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Promotes policy(s) to limit said radicalization without compromising religious diversity within the |
| 31 | state, for instance, Belgium has faced an increasing amount of religious radicalization from Islamic |
| 32 | extremists, therefore we have had to compromise with right and left politics to enforce new |
| 33 | policies in order to create a system of government governed by the people, their opinions, ethics, |
| 34 | and ideas. Political disagreements between minority groups such as the Flemish and Walloons lead |
| 35 | to arguments and compromising policies, this is time-restricting, yet necessary to address such |
| 36 | issues for the better of the country. |
| 37 | Stresses the impact and significance of the underfunded security issue. Belgium has had security |
| 38 | issues in the past relating to terrorism and organized crime, with the increase of government funds |
| 39 | to its security capabilities, combating this would be more possible. |
