= **The Black Market** =

Have you ever watched movies associated with black markets? If the answer is yes, you may consider them as a such-cool person leading bunches of fellows and earning enormous sums of money. Sometimes they not only appear harmless to you but even have beautiful slogans. Yet this is not exactly the case. The black market, where all commerce is conducted without regard to taxation, law or regulations of trade, has spread to a wide range of transactions. October 2nd 2002 The first issue called me up was the selling of rare species of birds in India. [] Recorders from the Trade Records Analysis of Flora and Fauna in Commerce (TRAFFIC) show that large seizures of illegally captured wild birds in India number about 30 each year. There is continuous large-scale bird smuggling out of the country. The wild birds are now either being pets or for food, zoological and medicinal purposes, or even for taxidermy. All those are due to illicit trades in black markets. August 6th 2007 Not only do the birds, but human organs are also sold on black markets. In the New York Post:[].It states that a whole new industry, transplant tourism, has emerged to meet the needs of the wealthy patients creating demand. (E.g. as National Geographic reported, a poor neighborhood in India is known as "kidney village," since residents illegally sell their kidneys for about $800, far less than the $100,000 that some recipients have been willing to pay. ( []) Some traders in the black market are so fulsome that they forcibly brought innocent Indian citizens to clinics, held them at gunpoint to have them undergone operations that they didn't want.) The article as well furnishes us a brand new point that instead of waiting for the hardly-comes donation or venture into the unregulated, immoral underground market, patients may face better options. A regulated system that creates incentives for donors, whatever those incentives may be, would save lives, reduce the shortages that promote the black market, and level the playing field, by helping all potential recipients. For instance, Tabarrok describes the "no give, no take" idea floated in Israel, which (with some exceptions) would allow only those who sign their donor card (or their relative and friends) to receive a donated organ. My journal is not just teeling delegates to be aware and beware of the black markets, but to discuss practical solutions on facing the blacke markets. Simply from the information I have already researched, we ambitious as well as responsible participants in the MUN could see how illicit trade harms nearly every aspect of the world via black markets. Continuing on my searching, I shall contribute more on finding useful options substituting the black markets like the way I have mentioned in the trading of organs (the second paragraph) together with my own ideas on the topic.

UN Actions
June 17-18th 2007 Bearing in mind the harms of the black market trading, the United Nations has also taken actions to limit the black markets. **Sixty-first General Assembly First Committee **([]) Concerning about Disarmament and International Security, black market transactions of weapons have threatened the safety of civilians a lot. Ranging from handguns to automatics and anti-tank guns, small arms and light weapons (SALW) are a major component of illicit armies and a main target for police. However, for peacekeepers and military officers, confiscating a stock of weapons is hardly a sustainable victory. For every Uzi found, hundreds more exist; and for every stockpile discovered, another will arrive on the black market. In 2006, First Committee made huge strides in international security when it adopted resolutions condemning surplus weapons stockpiles and agreeing on deeper international cooperation in the tracing of black market arms. For the last decade, the United Nations has led the international community in developing policies to stop the spread of black market weapons at its roots. "Small arms and light weapons kill many people every year, as opposed to weapons of mass destruction; that is why the issue is so important at the UN", said Shutaro Omura of the Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations. The tracing of weapons through permanent physical markings engraved directly into the weapon's body has become the international standard in stemming the flow of black market arms. Illegal markets would be the key point if particular attention is paid to the origin and transfer of hazardous weapons. Hence methods of eliminating black markets are essential to be discussed on the General Assembly in MUN Meeting. March 19th 2008 Formal UN accounts concerning the illegal activities have also been published in April 21-24, 2008.The paper gives a short overview of the estimates of illegal activities in Croatia including narcotics distribution, prostitution and trafficking of people. In relating to the black markets, society’s efforts to prevent the abuse of narcotic drugs are shown through repressive and preventive action taken by relevant public institutions. The aim of repression is to reduce drug supply on the black market, whereas the prevention is aimed at drug demand reduction. It is obvious that the plan works only when both the ways are successfully implemented. [|sp.2.e[1.pdf]] As mentioned before, I iterally hope that a debate on solving black market tansactions would be carried out.The overall solution should be recognised as the way to break out the harms of black market, yet not threatening other rights or needs of us human-beings. Both the United Nations and medias have presented their point of view, and the world is in need of a strong buffet to terminate the black markets. To help delegates have a wider scope on the topic, I will help them find more real-life examples in their own country. In addition, answering questions or delegates' original ideas a nd give them directions about whether the idea fits the broad topic would also be allocated as part of my responsibility. Here and now my information is a little inadequate, and I will acknowledge more on the black markets to serve the delegates.
