Long Term Resolutions Not an Option

The second resolution was brought to the floor of the Cyber-Security Committee by Canada, Japan, Israel, and India. They argued that no one can regulate the internet because it infringes the sovereignty of the state, and that international regulations exercise authoritarian power. Instead, they propose international funding for creating detection software to prevent attacks and synchronizing defenses on an international scale. The delegate from Australia questioned how long such an action would take and argued that an immediate response to the attack is needed, referencing their own leaking reactor. When it came time for the roll call vote, it did not pass.

US Shut Out of Talks between China and Russia

Indonesia and Japan are concerned about ongoing talks between Russia and China on regional nuclear regulation. Russia and China are excluding the United States from the negotiations. Given China's significant investments in many developing nations, the influence it would have as a regional regulator of nuclear power, and the fact that China and Russia are both members of the UN Security Council, as well as how America is being kept out of the loop, it is understandable some nations are concerned.
