Topic: Reducing The Treat Of Cyber Warfare


Cyber warfare has been a huge conflict that the committee of Specpol has debated. Cyber warfare is very dangerous because it can enter to any Political site or page that they wanted. If a cyber spy can enter any page they wanted they can get a hole country into disaster, but if all the important government pages set up a secret code for them to enter, that might prevent a hacked to their page. For example, in 1998 the USA hacked Serbia’s server air defense system to compromise air traffic control and facilitates the bombing of Serbian targets. That example was a worldwide discussion because the US is one of the most respectful countries in the entire world. The government’s of the entire world can’t believe that the US did that because as my delegation said the US is one of the most honorable and respectful countries that the world has had. Unfortunately that problem is not only use for war’s some citizens of many countries had hacked government pages and place them on the network. In 2009 a group of cyber spy network called “ghostenet” accessed confidential information that belonged to governmental and private organization information.  That event affected over a 100 countries around the world because the “ghostenet” hacked or entered that information of 100 countries. The “ghostenet” was informed that was originated of China, but China didn’t take any charge of their acts. That’s why the Cyber warfare is not only a country power problem also is of the countries because their citizens are the ones that are putting their country in danger and the countries don’t put a stop to the cyber warfare.

Zambia’s position in the warfare problem is to stop it. Zambia had never been affected by a cyber problem because Zambia’s last war was in 1989 for their independence and they are in peace with many countries.  Zambia has a very know page around Africa that is named Zambiaonline.com in that page many African countries can make some very interesting things. One of that things is that they can trade online, for example if a country in south Africa wants to trade with a country in the north Africa, Zambia is in the middle and they can make an appointment there for them to met. If a country hacked or a cyber spy enter to that page they can lead a country into ruin with an African country because some places are more fertile that others and they can have more health problems.
Some solutions that my committee offers are to stop the cyber war with more firewalls and to change the political or government pages passwords more often to prevent them of hacking them and putting their country in danger. Another solution is to stop the documents online, to have them by hand. As my delegations said before we are not in favor of the cyber warfare.
