GA 1-The World Body Role in preventing war from affecting natural resources

Natural resources of a country are naturally occurring substances in that region that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified form. Even though a Natural Resource alone cannot be the soul reason for Domestic conflict, it definitely either aggravates a pre-existing conflict or plays a pivotal role among factors which lead to one. There are four major underlying problems to consider:
Firstly, vast wealth in natural resources creates dependence, known as the “oil curse.” Secondly, the existence of vast mineral wealth will tend to weaken government institutions and their public credibility. Perhaps most clearly, the existence of vast mineral resources in one particular area of a country will make that area especially prone to secessionist movements. Finally, the existence of large stores of natural resources will provide a quick and easy financing tool for domestic violence.
The main question is how to prevent nations from using mineral and natural resources as a financial supply for civil conflicts. The UN has worked extensively in certain countries to ensure this, but this has had mixed results. More importantly, there are no mechanisms in place for controlling trade of other natural resources, particularly oil, coal, or other minerals, which are becoming increasingly important to the finance of illegal operations. Similarly, it is vital to discuss how restrictions could be placed on third-party nations neighbouring conflict states in order to prevent those states from being used as a loop-hole to evade sanctions. Finally, what are the main steps that can be taken by the conflict nations in order to ensure peace and prevent similar conflicts in future.
