Delegate: José María Alonso Balanzategui
Country: Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
GENERAL INFORMATION OF THE COUNTRY
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is located in the northern region of South America, bordered by
Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana, with coastlines on the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Venezuela operates under a presidential system of government, with Caracas as its capital and largest
city. The nation possesses vast natural resources, particularly oil, making it one of the largest
petroleum exporters in the world.
Venezuela is a founding member of the United Nations and has historically defended the principles of
sovereignty, non-intervention, and multilateral cooperation, even though now this has changed. As
part of regional organizations such as CELAC, UNASUR, and the Organization of American States,
Venezuela actively promotes South-South cooperation and peaceful diplomacy. The country remains
committed to international peace and security. The current Prime Minister of the country is Nicolas
Maduro, even though he is currently incapacitated. Delsi Rodriguez is occupying his position.
TOPIC: STRENGTHENING CBRN SAFETY AND
REASSESSING ITS POSSIBLE THREATS
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats represent one of the most complex
and dangerous challenges to global security. These weapons pose catastrophic risks not only to human
life but also to environmental stability and international peace. The misuse, proliferation, and
accidental release of CBRN materials demand urgent international attention, reinforcing the
importance of collective security and preventive diplomacy.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela strongly supports the strengthening of international
frameworks aimed at controlling and preventing CBRN threats. Venezuela is a signatory to major
international treaties, including the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and the Biological
Weapons Convention (BWC), reaffirming its commitment to the complete prohibition of weapons of
mass destruction. Our nation firmly believes that these conventions must be universally ratified and
strictly enforced to ensure global compliance and accountability.
Venezuela emphasizes the importance of capacity-building and technical cooperation among Member
States. Many developing nations lack sufficient infrastructure and resources to safely manage
hazardous materials, making them vulnerable to accidents, trafficking, and misuse. Venezuela calls
upon the international community to promote technology transfer, training programs, and financial
assistance to strengthen national preparedness and emergency response mechanisms.
Furthermore, Venezuela advocates for the peaceful use of nuclear and radiological technologies
strictly for medical, agricultural, and energy purposes, in accordance with International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) guidelines. The delegation stresses that nuclear technology must never be
used as a tool of political pressure or military domination.
The Bolivarian Republic also condemns the weaponization of scientific research and the involvement
of non-state actors in CBRN activities. Terrorist groups obtaining access to such materials would
represent an unprecedented threat to humanity. Therefore, Venezuela supports enhanced
intelligence-sharing, border security cooperation, and stricter control over dual-use materials.
In conclusion, Venezuela calls for renewed multilateral dialogue to strengthen existing treaties, close
regulatory gaps, and ensure that all nations—regardless of economic capacity—can implement
effective CBRN safety measures. Only through solidarity, mutual respect, and collective responsibility
can the international community prevent catastrophic consequences and preserve global stability.
