Presented as part of the MUN B 2023 conference
| 1 | Accepts Egypt’s prior history of not properly maintaining drug usage, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Engaging with the people of Egpyt to help avert further drug issues, |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Deeply concerned with the ten percent drug usage increase in Egpyt’s population, |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Alarmed by the high amounts of drug smugglers caught on Egyptian soil, |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Acknowledges the ongoing drug problems across Egpyt. Egypt is aware of the rise of drug-related |
| 10 | incidents and has firmly resolved to effectively remove all traces of drugs from its country |
| 11 | permanently. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The Delegation of Egypt Hereby: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Suggests the implementation of domestic Anti-Drug messaging, which prevented more drug- |
| 16 | related issues through working with the citizens of Egpyt. Egypt is working with universities, |
| 17 | schools, families, and places of employment to better treat addiction and be able to prevent |
| 18 | further drug usage by citizens. Egypt has established the You are Stronger than Drugs campaign, |
| 19 | which yielded an increase in those searching for drug rehabilitation by four hundred percent. Egypt |
| 20 | has also established the You Can, Without It campaign, which was successful in reducing citizen’s |
| 21 | drug use by fifty percent over the course of five years. Such programs educated citizens on the |
| 22 | dangers of drug usage and how to fight against the temptation of drug usage. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Calls for more restrictions and regulations to be placed on ports as well as trained individuals who |
| 25 | can identify potential drug shipments. Egypt is actively participating in the elimination of drug |
| 26 | smuggling by asking surrounding countries to implement more control procedures at many ports. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Control procedures could include a governmental anti-drug specialist force or detention devices |
| 29 | (drug-sniffing dogs). |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Encourages countries to implement higher fines for individuals found possessing drugs or |
| 32 | smuggling drugs. When a tourist is in possession of drugs, the individual is immediately deported |
| 33 | and receives a lifelong ban from entering Egypt. Employees are being more actively drug tested |
| 34 | and those positive for drugs are sent to court which oftentimes leads the employee to face a |
| 35 | minimum of two years imprisonment and a fine consisting of anywhere from one thousand |
| 36 | Egyptian pounds to ten thousand Egyptian pounds. Since 2019, the Egyptian government has |
| 37 | |
| 38 | In 2022, eight smugglers were sentenced to death for more than two thousand kilograms of |
| 39 | heroin. |
