| 2 | Sanction: A threat or penalty for disobeying a law or a rule |
| 3 | Embargo: An official ban on trade or other commercial activity with a particular country or group |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Concerned by the unjustified invasion by the Russian Federation into the sovereign lands of |
| 6 | Ukraine which began on February 24, 2022, |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Disturbed by the fact that this war has resulted in inflation in oil, natural gas, and grain as well as |
| 9 | two major trade powers being put mainly out of commission due to the war, which is causing |
| 10 | unrest to rise in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Alarmed by estimated 800,000 casualties in the Russia-Ukraine war, and wanting to prevent |
| 13 | further loss of life and escalations of nuclear warfare, |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Adding to the fact refugees were forced to leave the country of Ukraine, France to have refugee |
| 16 | problems relating to the Ukrainian refugees. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Noticing that Ukraine is the seventh largest wheat producer, soon to be fifth, |
| 19 | |
| 20 | However, the Russian attacks on Ukraine have slowed the process of wheat production, and that is |
| 21 | affecting the rest of the world, |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Acknowledging that Ukraine is the #1 ranked in the world in both exporters of sunflower oil, and |
| 24 | sunflower meal. #3 in Barley and Rapeseed, #4 in corn, #5 in wheat, and finally, they are ranked |
| 25 | #9 in exporting sunflowers, |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Also acknowledge that the longer the war continues to drag on, the worse it will get, |
| 28 | Not to mention, another arms race has been created between Ukraine and Russia. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Aware that the United Kingdom has already placed sanctions on Russia’s banks, and defense |
| 31 | sector organizations, stopped Russian aircraft from landing in the UK, and blocked Russia from the |
| 32 | UK’s ports, |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Regarding that Ukraine’s relations with other nations are damaged, as well as NATO’s policies |
| 35 | forbidding them to join the organization due to them being out at war against Russia, |
| 36 | Noting that the UK has already sanctioned 1,627 individuals and 238 entities, as well as targeting |
| 37 | 129 oligarchs with a combined net worth of over 145 billion pounds, further stating that nothing is |
| 38 | off the table, |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Therefore, we, the United Kingdom, hereby: |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Request that the UN allow the UK to make naval blockades along the Barents Sea, Baltic Sea, |
| 43 | Bering Sea, and the Sea of Okhotsk, thus preventing military vessels from going in or out, |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Intend to tighten the flow of resources into and out of Russia, furthering economic damage and |
| 46 | pushing Russia to cease its assault, |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Recognize Article 41 of the United Nations Charter to justify our actions, which states “The |
| 49 | Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be |
| 50 | employed to give effect to its decisions, and may call upon members of the United Nations to apply |
| 51 | such measures. This may include complete or partial interruptions of economic relations and rail, |
| 52 | sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of communication, and the severance of |
| 53 | diplomatic relations.” |
| 54 | |
| 55 | For the welfare of the people in Ukraine, as well as for all other parties affected by the war. |
