4 SC1-2 The Security Council, Recognising the ways in which terrorist organizations receive their funding, Fully alarmed by the wide range of resources available to terrorist cells, such as Boko Haram and ISIS that allow these groups to use oil, natural reserves and other naturally grown products (including drug related plants) to fund their organisations; Observing that those countries most susceptible to terrorist control may be affected by civil unrest and thus such organisations may exploit the divisions in these nations. 1. Calls for the weakening of terrorist groups through their economic funding by: a) Cutting off reliable income by: i. Seizing of economic operations under the control of these groups; ii. Making sure the local populaces of controlled areas of terrorist activity are not being forced into growing illegal and drug related produce; 2. Empathizes the need to monitor the use of the internet by terrorist organizations as a means to ensure websites are not used as avenues for funding 3. Endorses the implementation of stricter OECD checks on oil sales to identify terrorist funding by: a) Introducing more frequent border control checks to ensure that that imports of oil are not supplied to terrorist organizations, b) Monitoring internal oil trade by: i. Recording the transactions being completed; ii. Condemning companies that cooperate with terrorist organizations to acquire oil wealth; 4. Authorizes the use of humanitarian aid in countries with a weakened government to deter the growing influence of terrorist organizations exploiting these weaknesses in order to gain human resources through recruitment. 4

5 SC1-3 The Security Council, Concerned by the increasing numbers of young people becoming indoctrinated through social media with propaganda utilised by extremist religious organisations, Noting the potential torment in future years if we allow the next generation of terrorist fighters to be recruited online, Alarmed by the explicit nature of the media produced and disseminated by radical extremist organisations, especially Daesh, Keeping in mind that terrorist organisations, especially Daesh, infringe upon Articles 3 and 4 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, which prohibit inhumane treatment and forced labour, with actions such as the mass torture depicted in the videos which contribute to their rapidly evolving propaganda, 1. Encourages Member States to promote the regulation of websites, including social media, to protect young people from the dangers of radicalisation; 2. Urges Member States to increase their resources and capacity to study the evolution of terrorist propaganda in order to develop effective counter-narratives to negate the efficacy of extremist propaganda; 3. Expresses its hope that Member States will develop effective strategies to monitor websites affiliated to, and used by, terrorist organisations, reducing the threat they pose, whilst simultaneously avoiding the undermining of freedom of expression; 4. Condemns the acts of barbarity and blatant infringements of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights perpetrated by and uploaded to the Internet by the militants and associates of extremist religious organisations, especially Daesh; 5. Calls upon Member States to promote inter-religious dialogue amongst young people, increasing awareness through educative measures and subsequently reducing the misconceptions between different religions and lowering the chances of discriminative thoughts becoming sequestered within the minds of the next generation, as these thoughts are conducive to terrorist activities; 6. Decides to remain ceased of the matter. 5
