Responding as a delegate from Zimbabwe:

Zimbabwe would agree that it is a good idea for the U.S. to secure the nuclear materials in Pakistan. I can see that if these materials were to get into the wrong hands, such as those of Al Qaida or the Taliban, the world would have a very big problem. Therefore, Zimbabwe believes that any extra help in securing these weapons would be a good thing for Pakistan and it would ensure that no terrorist groups get a hold of such powerful weapons.

According to “Pakistan's Nuke Materials AT Great Risk” from www.npr.com, “Pakistan's stockpile faces “immense” threats and is the world's least secure from theft or attack.” Seeing that the United States is a very advanced nation, Zimbabwe believes it would be very helpful to the Pakistan people and government to secure these weapons from outsiders. And, although Zimbabwe is not a fan of the United States, Pakistan is one of their few allies and can see that this is what's best for the nation.

As I stated before, if the nuclear weapons were to fall into the hands of terrorist organizations like the Taliban or Al Qaida, the world would have an extremely large problem. Not only would it affect the countries around Pakistan or just the U.S. but it would bring everyone into the picture and the world could fall into chaos. I do not believe anyone of the other delegates would want this to happen, I certainly would not since Zimbabwe has its own instability to cope with, it does not need war on top of it and we would feel obligated help and keep close ties with our ally, Pakistan.Zimbabwe hopes that with the help of the United States, they will be able to secure the nuclear weapons because if they are able to successfully keep them out of the Taliban's reach, we will be able to keep the rest of the world safe as well.
