Serious legal business.

Hey Legal delegates!!


So, as you know, one of our topics deals with the scope and application of universal jurisdiction in carrying out anti-terrorist operations. As a delegate, you'll have to consider what encounters your nation and its allies have had with terrorism in the past, how they've dealt with them, and whether your nation (or your allies) tends to support the pursuit of terrorists in the name of security or justice even if such a mission violates the sovereignty of other nations. 


You can look at the UN's Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which comprehensively details the UN's approach in countering terrorism. Here, you'll find a broader set of resolutions, protocols, and conventions that deal with various aspects of counter-terrorism. 


Good luck! Remember, Google is your friend (and so is the library), so make use of whatever resources you have to get a better understanding of where your country stands on the issue.
