Resolution GA-01 April 11

Re.:                             Lack of Water in African Countries
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Italy
Date:                           April 11, 2025

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

Alarmed at the fact that currently 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water globally, and

Realize that lack of water and sanitation widely applies to countries like Sudan, Ethiopia, and Niger, and

Deeply concerned because the lack of water and sanitation causes 3.5 million deaths per year and most girls have to walk at least 3.7 miles to get water that is likely contaminated with life threatening diseases, and

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nations will begin a program called Pumping Out Water to African Cities (POWTAC), in which water pumps will pump underground water to filtration facilities.
   
2. POWTAC will begin in Abalak, Niger. POWTAC will pump underground water to a filtration building. This will clean the water from any life-threatening diseases. Then it will be transported to a storage building with tanks to hold all the clean water. The storage building will be located in the middle of the city with the most need for water. Containers to hold the water will be supplied so people can bring the water home. Clean water will be available for free to all people.
   
3. There will be 40 local workers between both buildings and we will pay them the estimated average yearly salary per year. Workers at the filtration buildings will monitor the water.
   
4. To pay for POWTAC the United Nations will raise the dues of the 10 wealthiest countries by $1 million for one year raising $9 million for the first year. After the first year, dues will only rise by $100,000 for the 10 wealthiest countries each year.

Budget:

Filtration building – $5 million x 1 = $5 million

Storage building – $3 million x 1 = $3 million

Salary for workers – $2,000 x 40 = $80,000

Water Containers – $30 x 15,000 = $450,000

Piping – Half mile of piping = $500,000

Water pumps $3000 x 6 = $20,000

Total for first year: $10 million

Cost for years after the first: $1 million

The rest of the funds will go to paying for any maintenance issues that may occur during the construction of the buildings.

5. This program will run for 6 years. The buildings will have to be updated at the 10 year mark and every 5 years after that point.
   
6. At that time the program will be evaluated by the General Assembly and, if found to be successful, can be renewed for another 6 years. The General Assembly will check the recirculation of water underground every 3 years. If the groundwater found to successfully recirculate the project may be expanded to other countries with high death by dehydration rates. Success is determined by lowering the death by dehydration rate by 8%. Possible expansion countries are: Sudan, Ethiopia, Chad.

Re.:                             Ending World Hunger                       
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            USA, Brazil, Estonia, Sweden
Date:                           April 11, 2025

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #2 is Zero Hunger, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #12 is Responsible Consumption and Growth, 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 in the year 2025 there are more than 800 million people, including children affected by hunger worldwide, and

Alarmed that every 10 Seconds, a Child Dies from Hunger – Malnutrition is the cause of nearly 45% of deaths among children under five, and

 Realizing that in food deserts many people do not have access to nutritious and affordable food especially people in low income communities, and

Concerned that supermarkets throw away tons of edible food – Grocery stores discard perfectly good food due to strict appearance standards or expiration dates that don’t indicate actual spoilage, and

Knowing that hunger stunts children’s growth and learning – Malnourished children struggle in school and have long-term cognitive and health issues,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. Action plan– The United Nations will begin a program called Eat and Grow Green to End Hunger (EGEH) in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Yemen.  We selected these countries because they have the highest rates of hunger in the world. Eat And Grow Green to End Hunger will build farms, partner with local grocery stores to avoid wasting food, and create an education program to teach people how to grow their own food. After 2 years the program will expand to other countries with high rates of hunger.                                                                           
2. Funding –   We specifically ask for help from Monaco, the United States, Brazil, Japan, South Africa, and Australia. We selected these countries because they are members of the United Nations and have a high GDP. We chose one country from each continent with a high GDP.

   Budget: Total cost $20 million ($10 million for each country).

• $4 Million for farms and community gardens (2 million dollars for farms and 2 million for gardens.).  The cost to build a community garden is $7,500 = 266 gardens/ The cost to build a farm is $200,000 = 10 farms.
• $3 Million for trucks and technology to move food.
• $2 Million for training and education.: We are going to teach people how to grow their own food.
• $1 Million for organizing and running the program.: we can higher citizens from each country   organize and run the program.      

3. Assessment: We will assess the program by keeping track of the number of people it helps to feed. We will assess it every six months to see if hunger is reduced. The program will be a success if it reduces hunger by 25% each year.  
   
4. Expansion: At the end of 2 years, if hunger is reduced by at least 30% we can expand the program to other countries. If hunger is not reduced by at least 30% we will make changes and extend it another year before expanding. If we meet our goal we will expand to other countries. If we do not meet our goal we will stop funding or end the program.

Re.:                             Humanitarian access in Palestine
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Norway
Date:                           April 11, 2025

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #3 is Good Health and Well-Being, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #17 is Partnerships For the Goals, 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

Recognizing the Charter of the United Nations, and

Noting with concern to the inexorable humanitarian crisis in Palestine, and that, as of October 7th, 2023, 3 million Palestinians are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance, 113,704 Palestinians have been found injured and more than 8,700 individuals (3,700 children included) have been forcibly displaced both internally and externally, and

Noting with regret that the estimated death toll has exceeded 50,144 lives, with over 13,000 fatalities being amongst children since 2023 as a result of the ongoing conflict in the region as found by the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations, and

Fully aware that the access to humanitarian aid and the basic necessities are and have been prohibited from reaching the Palestinians due to the Israeli restrictions and prohibitions, and

Believing that the aid from multiple countries is vital to facilitate and initiate, to assist the Palestinian people in need of humanitarian assistance, and

Further aware that this humanitarian crisis has resulted in large numbers of starvation and extreme hunger, in addition to the spreading of diseases, and

Commending the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East for supplying over 388,000 families (approximately 1.9 million people) with two rounds of flour for making easy though filling meals, and for remaining one of the largest healthcare providers currently in the region, in addition to working to provide the most humanitarian assistance that is so desperately needed that they can, also commending the European Commision for significantly increasing their humanitarian assistance to Palestine, allocating €237 million in humanitarian aid to the vulnerable Palestinians in both Gaza and West Bank,

Emphasizing the need for international cooperation on this issue,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Urgent Request for Humanitarian Aid

1. Calls for the immediate implementation of humanitarian aid in Palestine and the allocation of financial resources to support the essential humanitarian needs as well as healthcare infrastructure:

1. The provision of the critical medical supplies, including, though not limited to, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, surgical equipment, and midwifery materials to be allocated to temporary healthcare facilities across Palestine, in order to address the pressing medical needs of the population.
   
   
   1. The deployment of mobile healthcare units to provide humanitarian health aid to health tents as well as to remote areas, ensuring that even more vulnerable populations have access to the essential healthcare services during the ongoing crisis. The mobile healthcare units will consist of one emergency health kit in order to administer healthcare to anyone that can’t reach a health tent in addition to transporting supplies to health tents that will serve as a location for those who need more immediate and long term care from the stationed medical providers. There will be about 7 mobile healthcare units.
      
      
   1. The establishment of a financial plan to help provide the necessities that many Palestinians are currently in need of and will need until the end of this humanitarian crisis. At the moment after analyzing the number of those in Palestine experiencing this humanitarian crisis the total price is estimated to be around 46 million dollars though should this crisis continue that number would not be sufficient to supply aid for a long period of time.
      
      
   1. The United Nations Children Fund to help provide the five thousand Interagency Emergency Health Kits that are necessary for solving this humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
      
      
   1. The creation of child vaccination programs sponsored by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (The UNRWA) They deliver children important vaccines like pneumonia, measles, and polio.
      
      
   1. Supplying Palestinians with the basic but essential medical equipment to help improve overall health in the area, and raise the current life expectancy by providing them with materials such as though not limited to:
      
      
   1. Fleece blankets for children, adults, and elders cost around 5 U.S. dollars each meaning that 2.5 million fleece blankets being necessary, it will come to a total cost of $12.5 million dollars.
      
      
   1. Micronutrient powder that would cover 4 children for the span of 7 months costing 52 dollars providing 1,700 packs and 625,000 micronutrient powders being necessary, costing a total of 32.5 million U.S. dollars.
      
      
   1. The necessary medicine, consumables, medical equipment, oral medicines, injectable medicines, a malaria unit and various other materials all of which can be found in the Interagency Emergency Health Kits all 5,000 of which would be provided by the UNICEF (United Nations Children Fund).
      
      
   1. Doctors and nurses/pediatricians will also be necessary when working towards solving this humanitarian crisis, in addition to van drivers. We will employ doctors and nurses that have been displaced due to the war. The pay will be the same as they would make at a hospital and measures will be in place to ensure their safety. Van drivers will also make the same amount of money and be safe in a U.N issued vehicle. A nurse costs about 600 dollars for three months and a doctor costs 810 for 3 months. We will need about 3 doctors per tent so that will add to about 17000 dollars for doctors. We will also need about 6 nurses per tent adding up to about 25,000 dollars. We will reach out to both countries to inform them that our aid will simply be for the general public in the affected area, and will not be used for military purposes for either side. Should either country indicate that they will target the health providers we will resort to simply providing aid drops without putting people on the ground in at-risk areas. In which situation we will seek support from those who have the ability to provide the materials that suit the situation. To ensure their safety we will inform both countries that stealing supplies, or interfering with personnel will be a direct violation of the U.N.
      
      
   1. In addition to the listed necessary materials above we will need tents for the storing of materials and to serve as a location for those in need of large amounts of medical attention to reside, an estimated six to seven tents costing 850 U.S. dollars each. In total 5,950 U.S. dollars will be needed.
      
      
   1. Lastly, we will need safes to protect medical equipment as it is rare and expensive in the region, making them highly sought after resources. Each safe costs 1,800 dollars and we will need 4 safes per tent. For every tent this will cost about 50,400 dollars.

• We are encouraging other countries to partake in the establishment of a global fund in response to this humanitarian crisis, which is estimated to cost around 46,000,000 U.S. dollars total.

a.           Assistance from UNICEF (The United Nations Children Fund) and other countries will be necessary in order to implement a plan and effort of this size.

• Timeline

Note that this timeline may change in response to the actions of the Israeli forces.

• Within the next year and a half funding should have begun and plans for implementation should be complete or close to completion with the assistance of various organizations as well as other countries in addition to Norway assisting in the funding.
• Two years from now funding should be complete and the process towards hiring the necessary staff should be in the process or should begin.
• After the end of the current ongoing war, the necessary medical supplies will continue to be supplied alongside a staff of doctors, nurses and pediatricians
• 1 year after the end of the current ongoing war, the need for healthcare will be reassessed and the decision to continue funding assistance will be made, this will continue in year long increments.
• Every 3 months we will assess the need for healthcare and decide whether or not to continue funding.

Re.:                             Ending Street Violence in Peru
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Peru
Date:                           April 11, 2025

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 22, of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.”, and

Alarmed that most people who live in the bigger cities of Peru, don’t feel comfortable going out in the cities at night, due to concerns of personal safety and violent crimes. According to Infobae, “11 crimes are recorded every hour in Peru, including robberies and aggravated assaults,” and 

Realizing that Peru is one of the largest cocaine producers globally. According to World Population Review, because of this, organized crime is heavily influenced making Peru have one of the top crime rates in South America. Gangs such as Tren De Aregua are involved in extortion, drug trafficking, and contract killings, especially in urban areas like Lima. While we were under government corruption, violence was encouraged. Peru is trying to come back from this problem of violence, and

Also realizing that other South American countries around Peru face similar street crime problems. Countries like Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil are perfect examples of countries with high street crime rates. Statista says that Venezuela has the highest homicide rate, with 26.2 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants recorded in 2024.  It also says that Colombia has a homicide rate of 25.4 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants recorded in 2024. US citizens are not advised to travel to these countries because of the high crime rate, and

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. We are going to reach out to other countries for help in police procedures against crime and cocaine production. During this, we want to also help stop cocaine production and use in South America. We found that Colombia has been successful in slowing drug production and use. We want to work with Colombia to reduce cocaine production in our country and their country. Colombia will help to train our military so that they can better deal with drug trafficking and crime. We will focus on hiring local people in Peru, even if they are coming from drug trafficking, to instead be part of our drug prevention unit to stop drug production. This cocaine prevention unit will be called CEF (Coca Eradication Force). This force will help to stop all production of cocaine in Peru and hopefully other countries.
   
2. We want to send the military to farms that are producing coca and destroy those crops. These illegal farms will be precisely located by CEF.  The cocaine producers will be taken into custody or given the option to join the military. The new farmers will be given land, and these will be experienced farmers. Then members of the committee will get more cash crops like coffee, cocoa, and avocados. Cocoa is a plant used to make chocolate and coca is used for making cocaine. The coca will be replaced with these cash crops. This will hopefully stop the production of cocaine in Peru. This will also benefit Peru by growing more cash crops for money and food. We are going to three different coca farms in Peru to turn them into cash crop farms. Each farm will have 200 troops to go destroy the illegal crops.
   
3. The things we will need to buy are transportation, crops, and construction tools.
   – 21 military transport trucks: $420,000
   -1800 cocoa trees: $1,620,000
   – 3 farm plows: $3,600
   – 3 bulldozers: $90,000
   – 60 farmers: $300,000 yearly in salary for all 60 farmers (each farmer gets 5,000 dollars a year and this is a good living in Peru.)  In total 1,500,000
   Total: $3,633,600
   To fund this program, the United Nations will raise the dues of the five wealthiest countries by 800,000 dollars a year. This will give us about 4 million dollars. This will pay for our program perfectly.
   
4. Our program will run for five years. We will monitor the reduction of violent crime and cocaine production. We will also monitor the profit made by our three farms. If the profit made by our three farms equals or exceeds previous made by cocaine farming, then we will consider our program a success. Our program will then be expanded to create a total of 10 farms in Peru. We would also like to expand to other countries such as Colombia.

Re.:                             Preserving Women’s Rights
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Monaco, Afghanistan
Date:                           April 11, 2025

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #5 is Gender Equality, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #10 is Reduced Inequalities, and

Shocked that women are being erased from social life by the Taliban in Afghanistan, and

Knowing that the Taliban does not like to cooperate with the UN on certain beliefs such as gender equality, and

Recognizing that Afghanistan has a sexist beliefs system, and

Alarmed that the Taliban are trying to erase women from public life,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The UN will begin a program called the Afghan Female Avocation Restoration program or A.F.A.R. Thus, A.F.A.R. will make areas and schools solely for females to go to. Because if there are more women in Afghanistan than men, when women advance, then the entire society [advances]. This helps prevent poverty and increase the workforce.
   
2. A.F.A.R. will enforce making women safe; women will have schools and sports events for them. The Female Afghan Academy and the Women’s Rights Afghan Sports Association.
   
3. The program will take place in Afghanistan, a country that struggles with women’s rights. There will be 100 schools. The schools will have pre-K to 12th grade. There will be 3 classrooms for each grade, with 15 children in each grade. The schools will be in Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, Jalalabad, Kunduz, Lashkargah, and Taloquan. The reason I have picked these cities is because they all have a large population, with Kabul having 4.5 million residents. The UN peacekeepers will guard during the building and after the schools are built.
   
4. To pay for A.F.A.R., America, Monaco, and France will contribute monthly, and any other nations that would like to contribute. They will pay $1 million dollars every 6 months. This will bring in somewhere between $6 million–$10 million. This will pay for teachers, light bills, maintenance, cafeteria, food, and water bills. Women who attend will receive a check of $25 USD (converted to Afghani) and a bus ride home. There will be a background check for teachers, who will be recruited from all over the globe. They will participate through UTA, the Universal Teacher Attribution, a nonprofit organization for teachers to go and help people around the world with ethnic issues. Also, the school’s children and teachers alike can wear whatever they prefer inside the building.
   
5. Budget: $35.3 million from Monaco and France and any other contributors. This will pay for light bills, water bills, electricity bills, books, school supplies, food, and teachers’ pay, which would be about 8,000 Afghanis per month. There would be about 3,900 teachers in each school. We would need $160,000 to build 100 schools in 8 cities.
   
6. The program should last 3 years. During this time, the program will be evaluated by the GE. If successful, we will renew for another 7 years and expand to other countries with sexist views to help protect the women in those nations. Success is determined by a test at the end of the year called F.E.E. (Female Education Evaluation). If 49% and lower succeed, then the program will end. If 49% and higher succeed, then the program will continue. Possible expansion countries are Yemen, Iran, and India.

Re.:                             Promoting the Widespread Use of Green Hydrogen as a Clean Fuel Alternative
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Japan
Date:                           April 11, 2025

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #7 is Affordable and Clean Energy, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #9 is Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #11 is, and Sustainable Cities and Communities, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #12 is Responsible Consumption and Growth, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #13 is Climate Action, and

Whereas Article 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.”, and

Recognizing that total carbon dioxide emissions are projected to be 41.6 billion tons in 2024, and

Noting with deep concern that by 2050, climate change is predicted to cause the potential for 14.5 million additional deaths and $12.5 trillion in economic losses, and

Aware pollutant gases in the Earth’s atmosphere act like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the sun’s heat and stopping it from leaking back into space and causing global warming, and

Alarmed, global warming is causing rising temperatures, sea level rise, drought, flooding, and the spread of disease, and

Concerned about the effects of these changes on health, ecosystems, and the economy,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nations will begin a program called WUGHF(Widespread Use of Green Hydrogen fuel). Studies show that hydrogen can be used as a clean fuel in combustion engines and turbines. This supports the viability of hydrogen as an alternative energy source for various applications, including transportation and power generation.
   
2. The combustion of hydrogen with oxygen produces water vapor as its only product, releasing energy in the form of heat during the reaction; essentially, it’s like burning a traditional fuel like gasoline, but using hydrogen instead, with the key difference being that the only emission is water vapor when pure hydrogen is burned, unlike a nuclear plant, which releases byproducts including radioactive waste, which can remain hazardous for thousands of years
   
3. Hydrogen power plants have increasing potential to become a source for most of the world’s energy in the future, replacing the present fossil fuel-based energy infrastructure. This energy source can be beneficial for everyone, but in particular for automobile manufacturers, public transportation, property owners, agriculture, and heavy industry.
   
4. The initial cost of this project is $50 million. The portion paid by each country will be based on the percentage of emissions the countries put out cumulatively; the U.S. will pay 20.3%, China will pay 11.4%, Russia will pay 6.9%, and so on.
   
5. The first power plant will be built in Qatar, which has the current highest emissions per capita.
   
6. In the next 5 years, if the hydrogen power plant produces 1 TWh of clean energy, then the WUGHF will be ready to move on to the next stage.
   
7. Upon successful completion of the first plant, WUHF will proceed to expand by raising another 50 million dollars for an additional hydrogen plant. The next country selected for the hydrogen power plant will be determined based on emissions per capita at the time, or the runner-up if the leading country has already contributed.
