Topic A: Political espionage
The concept of “political espionage” refers to the practice and the set of techniques associated with the covert obtaining of data or confidential information by means of infiltration, which is the technique used to introduce own units in the opposite or target-State’s ranks, so that they provide information of interest about the activities of the opponent.
Penetration is the technique to achieve the conscious or innocent collaboration of a member of the opposing organization, group or, in the case, State, in order to provide confidential data and information of the group to which it belongs and of its highly confidential bases for possible theft of documents and government information.
Political espionage is used to “benefit” a country with confidential information from another State, which could give leverage in economic and political aspects, such as electoral processes, treaties negotiations, military decisions, etc. Debate on this topic should take delegates to discuss which could be considered as cases of political espionage, proper measures to prevent it and possible mechanisms to put an end with it.
Topic B: Fight and prevention against the traffic of weapons, drugs, documents and technology in the black market
The business of the black market consists in the exchange of goods or services that are prohibited by governments, violating the jurisdiction of the place where the deal takes place, skewing economic data, and giving access of dangerous materials and weapons to anyone who can pay its price.
Black market has been for a long time, an international network where the weapons, documents, drugs and technology have been selling around the world, causing struggles in the stability of countries. Most of the times, the illegal things can't be controlled by the government. Through the years, this has been affecting the economic and social phenomena in the countries that are involved in it.
Its global trade is estimated to be worth over $10 trillion, an estimated two billion people are involved in the global black market (almost 50% of the world’s workforce), economic crises, such as the global financial crisis of 2008 – 2010, stimulate the shadow economy as no taxes to the government have to be paid.
Because of that, it’s important to fight against it and also find a solution for this problem, by supporting the countries that had suffered illegal transactions in the black market.
