Topic A: Halting the current drug dealing Colombian crisis and avoiding its spreading in the rest of the American continent. (September 29th, 1989)
Cocaine dealing cartels have upraised all over Colombia for the last 30 years. The drug dealing business has become the most rapidly profitable in the country and dozens of cartels have emerged with that goal. Of them all, the Medellin Cartel has been, without any doubt, the most proliferous cartel, being under the commandment of Pablo Escobar.
The clashes between drug cartels, in the streets of Colombia, have generated not only delinquent casualties, but civilian losses. This issue has created panic in Colombian streets and directly damaged other South American countries that adjoin the country, as the least fortunate dealers that have been sent away by Escobar reached to the closest nations and started a cocaine market.
Based on those declarations, the DEA has already got involved and made no progress in the halting of the cartels. Nevertheless, this efforts towards the Medellin Cartel is against the United Nation’s believes of sovereignty and no international intervention policy and constitutes too an issue to be handled in the General Assembly. No direct efforts from the United Nations have been made regarding the topic.
Criminals in countries like Mexico, acknowledging the profits, fame and impunity that Escobar have obtained via drug dealing, have started the development of strong marijuana trafficking networks in North America. Latin America as a whole represents a drug crisis. Target markets, like the United States, have also suffered the effects of the Colombian cartels. The US is currently stuck in the supply/demand cycle that keeps the American citizens addicted and the Colombians trafficking.
Besides, the American lands are directly endangered as the emissaries that escort the cocaine in the United States have been proven to be extremely dangerous. John Lawn, the president of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), have made strong declarations against the Medellin Cartel for several
months, declaring tactical engagement on the Colombian operations6. Yesterday, Lawn spoke against the Cartel involving them in criminal events in Spain, the United States and Mexico.
Topic B: Seeking immediate solutions in order to halt the international illicit organ trafficking market.
The organ trafficking network currently represents the fifth most profitable market in illicit worldwide exchange ground8, having its digits rapidly increasing on behalf of the international demand for organs constantly growing. Millions of citizens in Latin America, Eastern Europe and the whole world are kidnapped every year to get their organs extracted, it is such a developed market, that 10% of the worldwide organs transplants are known to use illicit organs9. Some are abducted and get their kidney extracted, others are savagely murdered and had every organ removed.
This clearly constitutes a major risk to the population in general: society lives in uncertainty of possible abductions and the receivers are in risk of taking a contaminated, illicit organ, jeopardizing their integrity. Hundreds of local bureaus of investigation worldwide and the Interpol itself have started operations to compromise the development of this illegal, uprising market that has come to actively affect more than 50 nations, and passively endanger the safety of millions of patients internationally as more between 15000 and 20000 kidneys are extracted and sold annually in the most affected countries10. This represents an international criminal crisis that needs to be worked on immediately.
