Due to the arctic ice being melted in copious amounts recently, a new virus - the Spiculum Virus - has been released into the world’s oceans, greatly affecting the global water quality. Due to this, many people around the world have been affected by this deadly disease, in fact, over 800 million people has been infected globally, with most reporting to develop chronic illnesses.
Coastal countries such as Portugal and New Zealand, realising their reliance on oceans, had recently expressed their increasing concern for this disease, and had proposed ideas such as the evacuation of citizens in strategic parts of the country. Other plans that gained significant approval include the closing of borders for non-essential travel, online schooling, and the halting of military operations was also mentioned.
The majority of the global community had noticed the importance of world-wide collaboration, with Switzerland deliberately expressing that “international cooperation is key''. This response was well-appreciated by smaller nations, such as the Vatican City, that desperately needed foreign support. However, as the pandemic continues to worsen, major countries like the United States called for isolation, closing borders to all nations except for the purpose of trade. More radically, China indicated that it would enact policies such as closing borders and halting foreign aid to prioritise its domestic citizens, remarking that “We have the necessary resources to combat this virus on our own.” The motion also received agreements from other majors such as India, saying that “right now we can only help ourselves.”
Although this precedent was not contested by many delegates, a few countries that require foreign support such as the United Kingdom protested this motion by reminding the conference of the importance in global cooperation. What is more, these priorities do not mark the total end of international collaboration. Programs such as an “international lab” has successfully allowed research personnels from around the world to practice joint efforts on researching a cure of a vaccine.
As of now, the hopes of the world recovering from this pandemic lives on.
