Resolution GA-01 April 1

Re.:                             Sanitation and Clean Drinking Water in Papua New Guinea
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Norway
Date:                           April 1, 2026

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #6 is Clean Water and Sanitation, 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

Whereas 4.8 to 5.1 million citizens (66%) do not have access to clean drinking water, and

Concerned about the poor hygienic conditions of citizens that have to live in them, and

Aware that one of the leading causes of death in Papua New Guinea for children 5 years and younger is water and sanitation issues,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. The United Nations will start an organization called Worldwide Water and Sanitation Services (WWSS). This organization will build clean drinking water wells and bring mobile clinic hygiene vans around to places that are in need of it. 
  2. We are asking for $2,486,000

            Budget Breakdown:

  • $15,000 per well (15,000 x 10 = 150,000)
  • $100,000 per van (100,000 x 20 = 2,000,000)
  • $8,400 a year per van worker (8,400 x 40 =336,000)
  • Total starting cost (150,000 + 2,000,000 + 336,000 =2,486,000)
  1. We will start by building 10 wells and sending the 20 vans across areas in need of clean and healthy water and proper hygiene. We will see if a large difference is being made for the people and further assess if more van workers and funding is necessary.
  2. If this pilot program is successful, which will be based on the health of the citizens who gain clean water and hygiene, WWSS will continue to expand to other parts of Papua New Guinea and more countries in need of these necessities. In order to have proper funding, we are asking the top 1l richest countries in the UN, including Iceland, for $226,000.

Submitted by:            Monaco
Date:                           April 1, 2026

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 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

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

Key Data Points on Gaza Health Crisis

  • Fatalities and Injuries: As of late 2025, reported fatalities exceed 69,000, with injuries surpassing 170,000, impacting roughly 7% of the total population.
  • Healthcare Infrastructure: Only 10–14 of 36 hospitals are partially operational. Over 800 attacks on health facilities have been documented.
  • Medical Personnel: Over 1,700 health workers have been killed.
  • Acute Needs: An estimated 350,000 people have chronic conditions, and 50,000 pregnant women struggle to access care.
  • Malnutrition: One in three people faces severe hunger, with over 20,000 children treated for acute malnutrition.
  • Disease: Overcrowding and lack of clean water have led to increased cases of diarrhea and communicable diseases.

Impact on Vulnerable Populations

  • Children: Over 40% of casualties were children in early stages of the conflict, with at least 16 children under five dying from hunger-related causes.
  • Displacement: Over 500,000 people are living in makeshift, densely packed, and hazardous conditions.

Emphasizing the urgent need for a comprehensive and coordinated international response to address the immediate and long-term public health needs of the population in Gaza,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. Immediate Humanitarian Assistance

Calls upon international medical organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, to deploy emergency medical teams to Gaza to provide urgent treatment for injuries, infectious diseases, maternal care, and malnutrition;

2. Temporary Medical Infrastructure
Encourages the rapid construction of low-cost tent hospitals and mobile clinics in areas with the highest displacement populations, allowing healthcare workers to treat patients while permanent hospitals are repaired;

3. Efficient Resource Use
GHR prioritizing cost-effective medical solutions including:

  • reusable medical equipment
  • basic surgical and trauma kits
  • solar-powered refrigeration for vaccines and medicines
  • water purification units to prevent disease outbreaks;

4. Support for Vulnerable Populations
Urges the creation of specialized care units within temporary hospitals to assist:

  • pregnant women and newborns
  • children suffering from malnutrition
  • individuals with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease;

5. Funding Strategy
GHR ( Global Health Restoration ) requests voluntary financial contributions from member states, international non profits, and humanitarian funds, emphasizing moderate-cost emergency relief programs and encouraging the sharing of medical supplies rather than only monetary donations. GEHRI initial launch will cost around 8-11 million USD.

A. Tent Hospitals
A basic humanitarian field tent hospital costs roughly $250,000–$500,000 depending on size and equipment.

If the resolution sets up 6 tent hospitals in major displacement areas:

  • 6 × $350,000 (average)
     = ~$2.1 million

B. Medical Supplies

Trauma kits, medications, vaccines, IV fluids, sanitation supplies, etc.

Estimated $3–5 million for the first year.

C. Doctors Without Borders Deployment

Many doctors are volunteers, so costs mainly include:

  • transportation
  • housing
  • logistics
  • equipment

Estimated $2–3 million.

D. Mobile Clinics
Small traveling clinics to reach camps.

  • About $100,000 each
  • If you deploy 10 clinics

= $1 million

6. Timeline
Establishes a three-phase response timeline:

  • Phase 1 (0–3 months): Deployment of emergency doctors and setup of tent hospitals
  • Phase 2 (3–12 months): Expansion of mobile clinics and training of local healthcare workers
  • Phase 3 (1–3 years): Gradual rebuilding of permanent hospitals and healthcare infrastructure;

7. Evaluation and Accountability
Requests annual reports from participating organizations and UN health agencies evaluating:

  • number of patients treated
  • progress in disease prevention
  • improvements in maternal and child health to ensure funds are used efficiently and the program remains cost-effective.

Resolution GA-03 April 1

Re.:                             Civil War in Sudan
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Netherlands
Date:                           April 1, 2026

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 14 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.”, and

Whereas Article 14 section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”, and

Recalling that this is Sudan’s third domestic war, with the first one happening in 1955, and

Observing that the current civil war started in April of 2023 because of a power struggle between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group, and

Deeply concerned that as of 18 February 2026, the conflict has taken as many as 400,000 lives, as well as displacing 11 million people, and

Realising that large cities, such as El-Fasher are being wrecked by the war, due to the area changing hands and being frequently attacked,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. Construct a group of hospitals in refugee zones such as to help those individuals injured by the war.
  • This process would take approximately 7 years
  • 2.4 billion USD (2.07 billion EUR)
  • Hospitals would be guarded by soldiers to prevent attacks
  • People would be lifted out of previous war zones by helicopter (helicopters would have a red cross on them to make intentions clearly nonviolent)
  • Workers would be from the Red Cross (they would be paid ~50% more than normal wages)
  1. Provide canned food and safe water for consumption to those displaced and affected by the civil war, if they are unable to obtain their own food. (Costs roughly $500 million USD or 435.3 million EUR)
  2. Attempt to create an environment for a ceasefire to be created, preferably in a neutral and peaceful area, such as the Netherlands or UN headquarters. Talking points would be the cost of the war on money and lives, as well as reducing risk of them losing land to an invasion by a country outside of the war.
  3. Obtain funding from the top 20 UN member states in dues paid 2025 raising their financial contributions by 0.5%.
  4. This will continue for a year and be revisited in 2027 to check results, such as fewer deaths and reconstruction in neighboring areas.
  5. This could be expanded to the neighboring nation of Libya, which has also been affected by this war, often being used as a battlefield, as well as Egypt and South Sudan.

Re.:                             Unfair Arrest & Police Brutality
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Vietnam
Date:                           April 1, 2026

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

Whereas Article 9 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, or exile.”, and

Emphasizing concerns about law enforcement in Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and

Affirming that according to New York’s HRW, after 4 years of tracking, the Vietnam government needs to recognize the scale of the problem and initiate police reforms, and

Observing that by statistics out of a documented 31 police beatings, 8 were cases of children,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. The UN will start a program called P.R.O.X.I. (Police Reform & Observational eXchange Initiative), P.R.O.X.I is a program that will require police forces to be trained. The program will also include that if a country does not follow this program and is found out by Point persons of the program, the country will be fined.
  2. P.R.O.X.I. will request 10k per year for 5 years from the surrounding countries of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and China. This cost will contribute to the training cost and facilities.
  3. The program will have a test trial for 3-5 years. Then if successful the program will continue.
  4. In the current time we would check the percentage rates of complaints and lawsuits against each of the participating countries, then in 3 years we would check and see if there’s a decline of lawsuits and complaints towards each country, then we will make adjustments if needed and continue the program if successful.

Re.:                             Education in Chad
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Singapore
Date:                           April 1, 2026

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #1 is No Poverty, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #4 is Quality Education, 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

Whereas Article 26, section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.”, and

Alarmed that 19% of test takers in Chad performed below the lowest benchmarker for reading, this is compared to the 8% percent for other countries taking this same test, and

Deeply Concerned Chad has the lowest literacy rate in the world, at 26.76%, and

Noting Chad has only 1% of youth get past secondary education and only 3% actually complete secondary education, and

Realizing 94% of students in Chad live in learning poverty,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. Build more schools (Primary, Secondary and Colleges), send a plethora of supplies for both the home life and school life of students, have a teaching initiative to teach teachers, provide good salaries, and give more technology and funds to help preexisting and future schools develop their programs.
  2. The funds needed will benefit; 50 schools, 1 million for each school to make them state of the art and ensure they can provide clean water filtration systems, etc. Three million for every college, there will be 5 colleges. Additionally, 30 million paying 60 individuals who go to Chad to help instruct in schools and enhance the preexisting teachers knowledge of both secondary education and beyond. (These individuals will be located through partnering university programs, specifically students looking for foreign language education degrees with corresponding languages to the site of the ongoing initiative. The university partnership with this initiative will provide the students with a well paying job, and will satisfy several college requirements within their major.) Additional 20 million extra, sent for supplies to help supply students with food, water, backpacks, clean clothes etc. 40 million will be given for scholarships for colleges as well as ensuring that colleges have top technology and top classes and knowledgeable teachers/whatever colleges may need (2 million each). 50 million dedicated to supporting families of students, (providing food, closer access to clean water, clothes, medical support etc). 50 million to pay teaching and school employees. Overall Cost; $255 million.
  3. We ask $10 million per country, from the top thirty richest countries represented. Any remaining funds will be solely used for the expansion of this initiative to other countries, if no further expansion takes place the funds will be directed towards the furthered improvement of education within Chad and the economic and climatical development of Chad.
  4. The timeframe is an estimated 10 years to get all schools built, funding and certain programs in place and, to fully educate teachers for higher education.
  5. The measure of growth can be determined by; educational scores rising, increased enrollment in different areas of work and, increased enrollment for education. When these numbers begin reaching the proficient benchmark (surpassing the numbers of 60% of the world) an expansion shall take place. Additionally, we hope to see successes in both economic growth and climate change which undoubtedly helps not solely Chad but every country worldwide.
  6. The countries eligible for this expansion include; Mali, Syria, Ethiopia, Senegal, etc. All of which have similar academic scores and learning poverty rates to that of Chad.

Re.:                             Giving Somalia Improved Healthcare
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Ireland
Date:                           April 1, 2026

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

Noting with deep concern in Somalia only 1 in 28,000 people are doctors as of 2014, and

Alarmed that many Somalian medical clinics are at risk of closing caused by decreased global aid, and

Emphasizing that Somalia’s healthcare situation is a grade three emergency; the most severe kind caused by global shocks, funding cuts, and widespread disease, and

Alarmed that only roughly 30 percent of Somalia’s population receives healthcare,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. The United Nations will begin a program known as the SDMDP (Somalian Doctors and Medicine Development Program) to send doctors, medicine, and funding for construction to Somalian healthcare centers in order to improve the situation in Somalia.
  2. At first SDMDP will act inside a zone comprising of a 30 square mile area.
  3. Ireland will provide 2 million dollars and will request that each of the top twenty countries with the most dues paid to the UN provide $500,000 to raise funds for the healthcare system in Somalia. Should these countries deny the request Ireland will advise Somalia to create an export tax on their top export, livestock.
  4. We will begin immediately collecting the funds, allowing us to create wages for doctors and send donations to the healthcare centers. The 12 million dollars collected will be set up in this way:
    -6 million dollars: Be sent for construction of medical facilities and medical tracing facilities
    – 3 million dollars: For the wages of the doctors
    – 2 million dollars: For the medicine and other medical equipment
    – 1 million dollars: Donations to existing healthcare centers.
  5. After 2 years the UN general assembly will evaluate the SDMDP, to see if the amount of the population receiving healthcare rises 3 percent. In this case annual lesser funds of 50,000 dollars will be requested of those same twenty countries, until the healthcare situation improves to a state where the majority of the Somalian nation is receiving health care. After this time, the general assembly will vote to either postpone, end, or continue the actions of the SDMDP.
