NATO: Countries beginning to agree upon allowing for other countries outside of the North Atlantic t

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a construct fueled by the danger of nuclear warfare, who formed after World War II and just before the Cold War. It’s primary goal is to eliminate threats made to other members and provide protection in numbers to the countries involved.The nations involved share democracy as a governmental system of leadership. Many delegations agree that NATO’s primary threat is Russia, as it is the largest communist nation in the world.

Delegates were presented with the idea of allowing for countries outside of the boundaries of the North Atlantic into their tightly webbed group and what to do about the possible fail of the Security Council Contingency Plan, which gives permanent members of NATO (the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and the People’s Republic of China) the power to veto resolutions and decisions made by the organization.

Throughout the first session, the majority of delegates began to lean towards allowing other countries to be inducted into NATO, but under strict conditions. Many delegations, such as Hungary, displayed their support towards a vetting process being put in place, thus allowing for other countries to join the organization within the voted upon restrictions.

Countries proposed to be added to the NATO include Japan, the Republic of Korea, India, and Israel. Many of the countries, such as Great Britain, would provide resources necessary to neutralize attacks from Russia, a communist country described as NATO’s largest threat. It is said that the inclusion of said countries would provide a necessary backbone in the defense against Russia and provide the necessary protection to ensure the comfort of all nations involved.

The opposition to this argument rebuttals that including other countries would be detrimental to the organization as a whole. Estonia’s delegation, one of the largest believers of this, feels that inviting these nations would lead money and resources away from countries in NATO. Estonia adds that some of these countries would benefit far more from the resources spent.

In future sessions, the discussion as to whether countries should be added to NATO will continue. Many delegations are still uneasy by the suggested path, even after multiple lead discussions regarding the matter. It is also predicted that as sessions go on, the discussion of NATO’s contingency plan and how to deal with the imminent issue will be brought to the table more frequently.
