Agenda - Deliberating on the Organ Harvesting Rings Operating in the


Mediterranean Region through Criminal Route Disruption and Network
Infiltration.

Let us not pretend that we have gathered here to simply “deliberate.” When hearts are being sold
on the black market faster than the UN can pass a resolution, when kidneys have become
currency and corpses are commodities, deliberation is not justice — it’s delay.

Let’s be honest. In today’s Mediterranean, a human kidney travels more freely than a Syrian
refugee. And unlike the refugee, the kidney gets processed faster, isn’t detained at borders, and
even comes with a complimentary “no-questions-asked” policy from a few friendly
governments.(Libya, Egypt, Turkey, israel)

Lebanon, situated at the crossroads of conflict and crisis, has long been used as a transit hub by
networks that move everything from narcotics to organs to ideologies. While we are deeply
committed to international cooperation and the pursuit of criminal justice, Lebanon refuses to be
the Mediterranean’s scapegoat while larger, wealthier, and conveniently ‘innocent’ states
continue to profit from our chaos.

It’s funny how some countries are very strict about banning plastic straws, yet their ports are
wide open to illegal shipments of spleens. Save the turtles, but forget the trafficked child
missing a liver. That’s the hypocrisy we're dissecting here today.

We are also concerned with the criminal complicity of non-state actors, some with flags, some
without, and some whose uniforms shift depending on who’s paying. From war-torn territories in
Libya to organized crime rings operating out of supposedly “stable” Mediterranean states, the
syndicates responsible for these atrocities are not ghosts — they are tolerated, funded, and in
some cases, protected.

We call upon INTERPOL and this committee to move beyond platitudes and construct a
coordinated network infiltration protocol, to establish forensic intelligence-sharing frameworks
that are not politically filtered, and to disrupt maritime trafficking channels that have been
overlooked for far too long — especially those that pass conveniently close to NATO coastlines
but somehow never merit inspection.
We support DNA-backed postmortem reporting across border to ensure accountability, trace
missing persons, disrupt transnational organ networks, and protect its vulnerable population
exploited by traffickers amid political instability and porous borders.

Let it be known: our neutrality is not our silence. Lebanon may be bleeding, but we still have a
spine. And we intend to use it.
