Foreign Policy

Belize's foreign policy prioritises territorial integrity (vis-a-vis Guatemala), Caribbean solidarity through CARICOM, and climate resilience. It maintains close ties with the United Kingdom (as a Commonwealth realm), the United States, Mexico, and Taiwan (one of Taiwan's few remaining diplomatic allies).

Belize advocates for small island developing states (SIDS) in international forums and supports debt relief, sustainable development, and marine conservation.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Belize, you have a foot in two blocs: CARICOM and Central America. Use this dual identity to build bridges and expand your coalition reach. Coordinate with Caribbean states on climate, oceans, and SIDS issues.

The Guatemala territorial claim is your most sensitive issue -- seek international legal support and rally allies who respect sovereignty and ICJ jurisdiction. Belize's recognition of Taiwan gives you a distinctive position but may create friction with China-aligned states.

Leverage your small size as a strength: small states often hold the moral high ground on climate and development. Be vocal on existential threats like sea-level rise.
