Trusteeship of Failed States
The Trusteeship of Failed States is involved with providing political, economic, and social aid to failing nations in order to restore them. However, this raises the controversial issues of what constitutes a failed state and what measures the Trusteeship council should be allowed to take to aid them. The Trusteeship can be viewed as a useful tool of the United Nations that helps nations in need, or it can be viewed as a pretense for neo-colonialism, allowing more powerful nations to interfere in matters concerning a weaker nation.
The council will discuss matters such as the definition of a failed state, in light of the different models that exist for a state. Different types of states may not work in different cultures, and this is a key aspect of defining a failed state. The council will also discuss whether or not the work of the Trusteeship council actually aids failing states, or whether it merely infringes on their sovereignty.Theme: State Building: A Pretext for Neocolonialism?
