We affirm

Observation 1:The government exists to protect and maximize the social welfare of the

governed. As such, the resolution should be evaluated based upon the success of the US Governments

attempts to protect its citizens.

Observation 2:States have obligations to protect its citizens, which terrorism threatens. Thus,

counter terrorism is an utmost priorit. !onathan "ooper for the #ffice for $emocratic %nstitutions and

&uman 'ights "ounter Terrorism, (rotecting &uman'ights explains, )States have an obligation to provide protectionagainst terrorism. &uman rights impose positive obligations on states to ensure the right to life. Acts

of terrorism infringe on all of the rights that are part of a state*s dut to protect.+ Thus, in this round,

prevention of terrorism must be weighed over an violation of rights as counter terrorism is a pre

reuisite for the securit which allows these rights to be realized.

Contention 1: Human Trafficking

100,000 children are being used as prostitutes in the US each year. Emily Stanton for US News in 2013 explains,

the underground sex trade is very much alive in the United States - especially for minors. Human trafficking is a

$9.8 billion dollar domestic industry. Human trafficking is dehumanizing. Rutvi Andrijase for Oxford University

elaborates, Standing commonly for the essence of ones being, the soul impels an understanding of prostitution

not merely as a form of physical violence, but also as a type of violence that shatters ones very personhood and

from which there is ultimately no recovery. NSA surveillance of mobile phones can solve this dehumanizing issue

of human trafficking. Mark Latonero for the University of Souther California in 2012 warrants, mobile phones play

a central role in facilitating potential cases of domestic minor sexual trafficking. Logistical information such as

time, place, pricing, and types of services are communicated through phone calls or text messages on mobile

phones. The field of technology forensics is exploring ways to disrupt human trafficking online by using trace data

to identify perpetrators, mobile technology is already shifting the spaces from which we can collect those traces.
