As the Summit meeting with the United Nations Educational, Social, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) approaches, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works diligently on possible resolutions to be presented.
Continuing from the discussions of the last committee session, the UNDP is now determining the details on their proposed “global referendum” which is generally accepted throughout the committee.
As the specifics are furthered, delegates generally look upon a minimum of an 80% vote from Crimeans in support for the new referendum and management.
Delegates are disputing how exactly to maintain neutrality in voting and work against military coercion.
The delegate of Spain has suggested mandatory voting. Ukraine has emphasized that such decisions must occur in safe and fair environments.
Ukraine has pushed for the removal of Russian military forces. Other countries concur, but request that Russia maintains a general military and police.
Russia maintains the position that at least a portion of its military remains to keep peace and compromise to Russian extremists. This continuation of the status quo has support throughout the committee; countries see the risk of the drastic overhaul of removing Russian forces.
Countries have strongly implored Russia to keep their military uninvolved from any voting procedure in committee.
The committee is in general agreeance that Russian and Ukrainian forces simultaneously in Crimea is too dangerous, with the delegation of Iran calling it “risky.” Countries worry that Ukrainian military presence could push Russian extremists further.
Countries including China and Montenegro suggest sending United Nations neutral peacekeepers to act as a military present.
Countries including Iceland are worried about what to do if the vote is a close split. These countries encourage that Russia and the Ukraine enter the Joint Crisis Committee (JCC) to work out a compromise. The delegation of Italy further sees the merit in turning to the JCC because of the lack of military presence and capability for delegate debate.
Countries are uncertain on solutions to address a large minority of Crimeans who do not wish to follow the referendum. Ukraine sees this as invalidating the first referendum and demand Crimea be returned to Ukraine. Other countries look to a slow transition period and the JCC to negotiate compromise. The committee strongly disagrees with diving Crimea.
The United Kingdom and Russia seek to lessen economic sanctions to let more resources enter Crimea. Iceland has pushed to lift them completely. The United Kingdom affirms the importance of maintaining the sanctions and just amending them, in order to restrict Russia’s power and to hold leverage.
Delegates are currently discussing actions to take after a global referendum is voted upon and long-term solutions to take. Countries are looking to a five to ten year transition period for Crimea, seeing the high risk of revolt and dissatisfaction if an immediate transition were made. Delegates agree upon that their resolution should depend upon the result of the referendum vote.
