Re.: Women and girls maternal mortality in South Africa

Submitted to: General Assembly

Submitted by: Sweden

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

Whereas Article 25, section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born or in out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.”, and

Appalled that there were 1,560 deaths in 2011 and 1,426 in 2012. More than a third of these deaths were linked to HIV. Lack of sexual and reproductive information and knowledge increases risks of unplanned pregnancies and the spread of HIV, and

Notes that experts suggest that 60% of all deaths were avoidable, and

Shocked that nearly a quarter of the avoidable deaths have been linked to late or no access to antenatal care,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The United Nations will begin a program called Quest for Health (QFH) which will focus on South Africa and, if this program succeeds, will work on other infected areas such as Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia.
QFH will work with NGOs who focus on health and education for children such as UNAIDS, WHO, UNICEF, UNV, and UNESCO.
QFH will train groups of volunteers from the 5 NGOs that they have chosen to build and teach in schools, specifically sexual education in South Africa.
To create QFH, we request that the UN raise dues on the 10 wealthiest countries by 1%.
Quest for Health will last for five years. If after this time there has been a reduction of maternal mortality by 10%, it can be renewed for another five years. At this time it is suggested that it should spread to other regions with high maternal mortality due to HIV.

Re.: Drone Regulations

Submitted to: General Assembly

Submitted by: Pakistan

Date: November 15, 2014

Whereas Article 1, of the UNITED NATIONS CHARTER states, “To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace.”, and

Whereas Article 2 section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.”, and

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

Distressed that news organizations around the globe report varying numbers of casualties from U.S. drone strikes, and

Alarmed that there are allegations of thousands of civilian deaths by drones in the past year in countries including, but not limited to, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan, by the U.S, and

Aware that public displays against drone usage are occurring across the world and could possibly lead to unrest and more violence in already war torn countries, and

Concerned that more than 50 countries have access to drone technology, and

Worried that civilians across the world are being affected by drones with no official declaration of war or warning about an impending strike, and

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Create a Drone committee named Drone Activity and Regulations Council (DARC) which will oversee all country’s activities with drones, including, but not limited to, setting new regulations on drones, supporting drone regulations put in place by this resolution, and creating sanctions on countries when the regulations put in place on drones are broken.
DARC members will be a rotating group of United Nations members that are selected every 2 years by a random draw. Countries may only serve on the council once every 14years. There will be 15 members on the council.
When DARC is created, the following regulations will be the first put in place:
With the formation of DARC, a country may only send out a drone once the following criteria have been met:

There is an 85% chance that no innocent civilian or uninvolved party will be injured. This percentage should be determined by the country sending the drone, but may be questioned by DARC if any untargeted death occurs.
Drones may only be sent into a country if war has officially been declared or if the country where the drones will be fired at has consented to their discharge.
Countries must provide a list of all drones within the country for DARC, including drones used for reconnaissance, surveillance, and other non-combative purposes.

The first consequence of breaking these regulations will be to have a fine of 1/3 the country’s UN dues. The money from this fine will go to running the DARC committee. Remaining funds will go into the UNICEF and UNESCO organizations.
This committee will continue as long as drones are in use.
Within DARC, a subcommittee will be started which will deal directly with the validity of terrorists targeted by drones. This committee’s job will be to decide whether or not the person targeted by a country was or is an actual threat to the country in question. This will happen in one of two ways, the first being (1) the country will present their reasons for wanting to terminate this prospective terrorist, and the subcommittee will, after reviewing evidence presented by the country, decide whether they have valid reasons to target this person. The other option is, (2) after the country has successfully killed the terrorist, they must present evidence and defend their reasoning. The subcommittee will then decide, in both cases, whether the killing of the prospective terrorist is or was justified.
If the person has already been killed and the committee decides the country targeting them was not justified, the country that killed the civilian will be fined 2/7 of their UN dues.
This money will go to funding DARC and the subcommittee and extra money will go into UNESCO and UNICEF.
The subcommittee will be composed of rotating members form all of the countries in the UN. Countries will only be allowed to participate in the council once every 10 years. There will be 11 committee members. They will each receive one vote. When voting on whether the person is a terrorist, the majority vote will make the final decision

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The United Nations will form a program called Prevention of Civilian Cyber Terrorism (PCCT) to prevent cyber-attacks on civilian institutions by foreign governments. These institutions will include but are not limited to: hospitals, power plants, religious institutions, and schools.
The United Nations will create a team composed of members of countries largely involved in the Cyber World: the United States of America, Israel, Germany, Russia, China, and Brazil.
Said team will supervise the Cyber World and prevent Cyberterrorism. After three years, the United Nations will check the progress of the PCCT. If the PCCT keeps Cyber Terrorism on civilian institutions at bay, the program will continue and expand to monitor more countries with a larger team.
This team will assign six United Nations’ employees to each country in the PCCT team. These employees will use government intelligence and pre-existing programs in each participating nation solely to monitor the Cyber World and investigate activities suspicious of Cyber Terrorism.
This team will monitor other countries as well as other team members. This will prohibit team countries from conducting their own Cyber Terrorism.
When cyber-attacks on civilians are discovered, the team will attempt to prevent them and the United Nations will revoke protection from the offending country.
This program will cost approximately $3 million per year for the salary and education of the selected team and enforcement of this program.
This funding will be provided by a tri-annual gala hosted in Vienna, Austria, with major corporate leaders, royal families, and persons of high political status attending. A $1000 entrance fee will be charged and the gala will be open to donations to support and sponsor the new program.

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Invest in 1500 flettner ships or “Albedo Yachts”. The cost will be 4 billion with an additional 200 million every year. These ships will be deployed across all of the earth’s oceans.
The Albedo yachts have tiny motors that chop up the water and spray a sea mist into the air. These individual water molecules in the mist will each be micron sized droplets. The mist goes into the stratocumulus layer and changes the whiteness of the clouds. This effectively allows clouds to reflect more/less sunlight from the earth depending on the global temperature. The technology for this has already been researched and 1 full-scale boat has even been built.
The Albedo Yachts will bypass the timeframe for extinction set by Carbon emissions due to the mechanism of the ships.
The ships would be built by the five UNSC nations due to their positioning and funding capabilities.
The original 4 Billion dollars will be paid for by the United States Department of Energy’s Loan Guarantee. The 200 million per year would be accounted for by raising the dues of the top 10 UN paying nations by 10 percent.

Appalled that there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any point in the last 800,000 years, and

Shocked that many countries are continuing to constantly pollute this world with no ambitions on going green in plan, and

Dismayed that some of the world’s richest companies still do not see the benefit in investing into more ecofriendly technology, and

Realizing that if we are ever going to make a difference in global warming we will all need to work together,

Every country will have to create a ten year plan that will cut carbon dioxide emissions by at least 20%.

Submitted to: General Assembly

Submitted by: Qatar, Philippines, Liechtenstein, Poland, China, Canada, & Thailand

Date: November 15, 2014

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 6 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.”, and

Appalled that there were 56,211 murders in Sierra Leone last year, compared to 55,773 in 2004, and

Aghast that there were 6,708 violent crimes in Rwanda in one year alone, and

Deplored that there have been hundreds of cases of cholera in Togo since 2008 due to lack of clean water, and

Dismayed by the fact that the crime rate of Togo has increased by 100% in the past three years, and

Astounded that nearly 15,000 children suffer from acute malnourishment across Guinea-Bissau due to lack of healthy food,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The United Nations will begin a program called Drones Rebuild Our Nation’s Environment or

This program will take place in Togo, Sierra Leone, GuineaBissau, and

This program will provide these four countries with three drones each that will be used to monitor the countries for crime and will also be used to deliver food to places in need of assistance. An example of a place needing assistance would be an extremely poor area, like Malabo, the capital of GuineaBissau or a natural disaster

DRONE will be responsible for delivering safe food and water in order to help people in very poor areas or those who have just experienced a natural

Guidelines for DRONE usage are listed

Drone pilots will not be allowed to occupy the drone if they are not on duty and have been given a clear
People from the government of GuineaBissau, Rwanda, Togo, and Sierra Leone are prohibited jobs on the DRONE subcommittee to avoid bias from
If a pilot detects an issue in an area while surveilling it, he must first call the local law enforcement to report the He should not intervene in the situation unless it is absolutely necessary.
All drones must be kept at the port stations at all times they are not currently on a There should be one port station in each country to house the three drones. This should be in a somewhat private and rural area that is in a central location. This would allow better access to all parts of the country.
Every person on the subcommittee must have given and direct job, whether it be supervisor, project manager, pilot, or someone who organizes the supplies that is ready to be shipped

This program is Any or all of the above countries can choose to reject the help and services thereof entitled by Drones Rebuild Our Nation’s Environment, at which point their spot(s) in the program will be opened up to other countries who can take their seat in the program.

In order to staff DRONE, the United Nations will select a subcommittee made of 35 people) who will staff the actual drones and monitor the usage The subcommittee will be selected by the United Nations, hopefully selecting officials who have been trained at least a bit in surveillance programming. They will each be paid $30,000$35,000, depending on their positions in the program (supervisors will receive the higher salary). Each country will have its own private building to house the three drones when they are not in service and to repair the drones and the offices of the officials.

The subcommittee will not be made of any of the four countries’ government to avoid bias in the All members of the subcommittee will be trained professionals that will receive some training when they are hired. They will receive a salary in order to keep them motivated and working on for the program.

This program will be used strictly to service innocent people and prevent crime by surveilling the countries, extreme hunger, diseases (like cholera), and injuries from natural Upon misuse of a drone the entire program will be suspended until the subcommittee has come to a conclusion as to if DRONE should continue, and consequences will apply to the misusers of the drone.

This program will be paid for by a slight increase in dues for the richest countries in the United The top ten richest countries will have a 0.5% increase in dues in order to pay for this program.

If DRONE does succeed in preventing crime, they will not pick up criminals to bring them to the jail unless the country has a local DRONE will be in contact with law enforcement and government in that area to inform them of unlawful crimes.

DRONE will be in practice in Rwanda, Togo, Sierra Leone, and GuineaBissau due to these countries lack of funds to eliminate crime more effectively and provide hungerprevention

If DRONE is successful in these countries, meaning that it is successful in serving food and the acute malnourishment rate drops by 5% and the crime rate of these countries drops by 10% or more, DRONE will expand to one more If it does not accomplish these tasks, it will be evaluated and discussed if it should still continue or if there is a problem to fix in order to better the program.

If the countries above accept the program, their governments will not be able to interfere with the supplies United Nations sends to The United Nations must be fully responsible and will prevent interference.

Deeply Concerned that the percent of Africans having access to proper sanitation and healthcare in clinics is only at 69%, and

Shocked that 51% of the world’s total child deaths are in Africa, and

Appalled that the infant mortality rate in Southern and Central Africa is as high as 63 per every 1,000 births, and

Troubled to learn that one third of all medical personnel in rural areas are untrained to deal with medical emergencies, including childbirth, and

Alarmed by the rate that life expectancy is falling in South African countries; going from 62 to 51 in just 10 years,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The United Nations will begin a program called African Medical Improvement Association (AMIA) which will focus on improving the general healthcare of the countries of Southern and Central Africa including the countries of South Africa (17th worst healthcare system), Democratic Republic of the Congo (3rd worst healthcare system) , Central African Republic (2nd worst healthcare system).
AMIA will work with WHO (World Health Organization) and independent programs such as World Vision, AHI, and PATH.
AMIA will hire a group of doctors who will train those who work at the hospitals and clinics in areas that have very bad healthcare systems to insure that they are fully capable of treating sick Also, yearly inspections will be held to make sure the clinics are fully operable and able to cleanly and efficiently treat patients.
If a clinic or hospital is found to be below the standards set by the inspections, they will be fined an appropriate The money collected from fines will go to [program] and be used to fund more doctors and equipment that clinics and hospitals lack.
To create AMIA, we request a fund donation from the WHO and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
AMIA will last 5 If by that time, the life expectancy has not increased to at least 55 and the percent of Africans having access to clean and sanitary clinics does not increase to at least 75%, the program will stop. If the program is successful, it can be extended for another 5 years.
