Resolution GA-01 April 10
Re.: Preventing Deadly Arrests in Belize
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Belize
Date: April 10, 2025
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #3 is Good Health and Well-Being, and
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #16 is Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, and
Whereas Article 5 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”, and
We need to recognize That Dyandre Chi fled from a crime and was killed by two officers, and they shot at his partner. Dyandre showed no signs of a weapon, and
Concerned that there are multiple reports of beatings and false statements on police reports throughout the years, and
Fully aware that police in Belize are understaffed. There are only 1,300 officers in the country to handle local crime and international trafficking, and
We must note that in 2022 hundreds of officers were fired because of complaints from citizens due to unlawful arrests, unnecessary harm, assault, ect. In addition, many officers were lowered in rank or arrested due to these complaints. When the citizens are not on the same page as their government, it could lead to riots or revolution. By reconnecting the police, and the citizens could help prevent war, and keep the peace,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- Belize has a good government system with good officers, but there needs to be more training from the right people to strengthen the system. We should send a group of six high rank officers (sergeants) from Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Austria, and Denmark because they are the top five safest countries. In addition to these five there will be one officer from Belize to help them understand the policing of their country. The officers from out of the country will help give advice, and will be able to oversee how people are treated. After six months all officers and the leaders of belize as well as the six visiting countries will meet and discuss what needs to be done, and what has been fixed. Once there is a plan for what funding we need to help fix the root of the problem.
- We will need to pay each officer participating in the resolution $100,000 per year of the project. We will need to pay for the improvements of the stations. This will be evaluated in the first 6 month meeting. In order to fund the organization we would raise the dues of the 10 wealthiest nations by GDP per capita by 1%. As well as hosting a benefit concert filled with world leaders of the countries affected by the project.
- Every six months the project goes on there will be a meeting with the world leaders involved. After the first year the leaders will talk about next steps. The project will last a total of five years. At the end of the five years all the officers and UN leaders will discuss what happened, what improved, and what could be changed about the resolution.
- At the end of the five years we will expand the project to Belize’s neighboring countries of Mexico and Guatemala. They both struggle with stopping crime while also keeping the fugitives right as a human. The project will be carried out as Belize’s did with any adjustments made at the conference. Over time as the resolution gains more success we can expand to more countries in need of help like Uganda, Ethiopia, Egypt, Bangladesh, and more.
Resolution GA-02 April 10
Re.: Humanitarian Aid to Venezuelans
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Austria, Uruguay, Peru, Bolivia, Nepal
Date: April 10, 2025
Whereas Article 2 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without any distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.”, and
Whereas Article 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.”, and
Whereas Article 25, section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care, and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age, or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.”, and
Shocked that in Venezuela, 40% of the population (4 million out of 24 million) is experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity according to the World Food Project, and over 67% of households in Venezuela live in extreme poverty, and
Alarmed that Venezuela’s government refused aid for years for political reasons while its people suffered greatly, and
Deeply concerned that over 42% of children in the poorer areas of Venezuela suffer from wasting and stunting,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- Raises money equal to pay for food and clean water for Venezuelans suffering from food insecurities.
- Creates Task Force 58 (the international dialing code for Venezuela) dedicated to delivering and protecting humanitarian aid to Venezuelans, headed by a council of representatives from Austria, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay. This Task Force will direct Peacekeepers and aid personnel to distribute aid in targeted areas.
- Musters and equips 2,000 Peacekeepers and aid personnel from Austria, Peru, Nepal, Bolivia, and Uruguay, assigned to Task Force 58 (58 is the international area code for Venezuela). Combined salary costs for six months will be 17,136,000 USD, which will be paid for by increasing Peruvian, Bolivian, Venezuelan, and Uruguayan dues.
- The task force will operate with the Venezuelan government in a joint committee, and will not take actions that violate Venezuelan sovereignty, and will only undertake missions for humanitarian aid, mostly outside of large urban areas, such as the capital, Caracas. If the Venezuelan government requests aid in a certain area of the country outside the planned area, such aid will be given.
- The task force will operate within the Venezuelan states of Amazonas, Yaracuy, Sucre, Monagas, and Delta Amacuro, due to the extremely high poverty and food insecurity rates within each of the five states. Food supplies will be provided by the Republic of Peru and the Oriental Republic of Uruguay.
- The material costs to supply food for the rough entirety of the impoverished populations of Amazonas, Yaracuy, Sucre, Monagas and Delta Amaruco for six months will be 369,907,468, 2,541,754,907, 3,145,780,440, 4,249,964,964, and 653,175,179 USD respectively. We submit this resolution with the knowledge that it is unlikely we are able to feed every person every day for six months, but have outlined the costs for that in the event funding increases.
- The Task Force 58 resolution will have a baseline budget of 250 million to be spent on food and water supplies, but should other governments fund the mission, the budget will be raised.
- Secures a partnership between Task Force 58, World Food Programme, and Doctors Without Borders to help fund and staff this endeavor.
Resolution GA-03 April 10
Re.: Helping women’s rights in Saudi Arabia
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Sweden
Date: April 10, 2025
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #1 is No Poverty, and
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #5 is Gender Equality, and
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #10 is Reduced Inequalities, and
Deeply concerned that Sweden’s women’s rights will affect their humanity, and
Shocked that woman in Saudi Arabia are still being discriminated for marriage and divorce, and
Alarmed that only 19% of woman hold positions in parliament,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- (Action Plan) We will ask influencers to go to Saudi Arabia and talk about the issue of women’s rights. We will start by having a few micro influencers like Abby Lin, and Adrienne Jennings to fly out to Saudi Arabia. Then they will spread the problem so that it will go to bigger sources like the government and decrease women discrimination by at least 30% in Saudi Arabia.
- (Funding) When we ask influencers to go to Saudi Arabia and talk about our problem, it will cost 45,000 dollars for 30 influencers to go to Saudi Arabia. We will ask Micro influencers which are people that have around 10,000 to 100,000 so it will cost 100 to 1,000 dollars to book them.
- (Timeline) This will not take a long time for influencers to go to Saudi Arabia, but overall it will take a year or 2 for the media to reach the government. We just have to reach out to influencers and tell them our plan and what we want them to do. They just have to help with the problem through voice. But because overall it would take us 1 to 2 years we don’t think that this will completely solve our problem, we are looking for at least 40% of this problem to decrease and your help.
- (Evaluation) Sweden is helping Saudi Arabia with their women’s rights because in Saudi Arabia they fail to protect women from abusive relationships and just in general abusive people. Like we stated previously, Saudi Arabia fails to protect Women from gender-based violence. That’s why Sweden turned to Saudi Arabia on their women’s rights problems. We look to have influencers fly out to Saudi Arabia and we are also looking for a 30% decrease in gender biasing.
Resolution GA-05 April 10
Re.: More water treatment plants for families in Brazil
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Brazil
Date: April 10, 2025
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #3 is Good Health and Well-Being, and
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #6 is Clean Water and Sanitation, and
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #15 is Life on Land, and
Deeply concerned that 12% of homes in Brazil don’t have clean drinking water, and
Alarmed that 3.5 million people die each year due to drinking unclean drinking water, and
Observing that having clean water is a universally agreed human right,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- To lower the rates of dehydration and death in Brazil, we want to start a program where we hire 100 locals to help install 20 water treatment plants in Sao Paulo. This way we can get these water treatment plants installed as quickly as possible so our people can have clean water. This will also open up some job opportunities for those struggling in Sao Paulo.
- We are investing $1 million dollars into this project, and we are asking the U.S, U.K, France, and Switzerland to each pitch in $1 million dollars, so in total we would need $5 million dollars due to the fact that each water treatment plant costs $150,000, we want to build 20, and considering we have to pay our workers the average daily wage of R$50.60.
- This operation is going to take 10 years considering the fact that the water treatment plants we plan on building are going to be huge, and we want to make them as big as possible because Sao Paula is one of the most populated places in Brazil and they’re lacking clean water, due to droughts and climate change.
- We will know this operation is working when we check back in five years and find our rate of homes without clean drinking water is down to 7% or less. If this is the case, we plan on expanding this project to Portugal, specifically Albufeira, Portugal, because they’re experiencing terrible droughts.
