DISC: First Session Briefing
================================================================================
Disarmament and Internati 2009 on 20 October, 2009 09:56:00
 
The DISC delegates formally began their working sessions by opening Topic A.
Reduction of Military Budgets. During the opening topic procedure most of the
delegations looked forward to open this topic as they consider it important in
the current context of the international scenario.
Most of the delegates showed interest and knowledge in the topic and after one
hour of high level debate some proposals were done. Nevertheless, while the
delegates were in a Caucus the DISC Chair was informed of some important issues
concerning the delegations of Israel, Iran, China and United States which
provoked tensions and broke the initial negotiations between the delegates.
After two and a half hours of debate and discussion the first session ended
with a tone of tension and uncertainty between the delegations as the news
continued to be published, causing a commotion among the delegates and
threatening the international stability.
Here are the news that were presented during today's debate:
BBC News. "Israel 'met Iran' at atomic talks". October 22, 2009. British
Broadcasting Corporation. October 22, 2009.
BBC News. "Taiwan warns on China 'threat'". October 20, 2009. British
