Re.:                                  Ending the Energy Crisis in South Sudan
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                Oman, Monaco, and Vietnam
Date:                               April 17, 2026

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #7 is Affordable and Clean Energy, 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 that in South Sudan under 5% of households have access to electricity, and

Concerned that about 12 million people in South Sudan need access to electricity for heating, and cooling because it is very hot in that area of Africa, and

Noting that people need electricity for modern medicine, and electricity is scarce there,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. We would scatter 20 wind turbines throughout South Sudan which would cost about 30 million dollars. The 20 would generate over 16.8 million kw in one month. We would pay for the labor of the turbines. Which would cost about $200,000 USD per turbine which would cost $4 million dollars in total. Also, the maintenance will cost about $45,000 per turbine. We will ship the maintenance crews out from America for the cost of $3000 USD per person so $9000 per person.
  2. Funding: All of the above in total will cost $37,060,000 USD. This is broken into the $30 million dollars from the wind turbines, The labor of installing the wind turbines would cost 200,000 thousand dollars for each turbine amounting to $4 million dollars. The maintenance crews, which need to be shipped out two times a year will cost $3000 per flight and that will amount to $6000 per year and we need 60 to maintain a turbine. The maintenance will cost $360,000 per year for flights. This plus the 45,000 a year to pay them per worker will cost $2,700,000 per year. Maintenance in total will cost $3,060,000 dollars. This will amount all in total to $37,060,000. The funding will be collected from the highest paying 20% countries with UN dues. They will each pay for a split part of it.
  3. After we install the wind turbines we will wait one year before evaluating the data that is collected. After that we will assess if we should add this to other countries.
  4. We will know if this plan is working if in the span of 1 year if 10% of households have access to electricity. We also need to see that 30% of hospitals in South Sudan have access to electricity.


Resolution GA-02 April 17

Re.:                                  Women’s Rights & Equality in Sudan
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                Norway

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #5 is Gender Equality, and

Whereas Article 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”, and

Whereas Article 4 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.”, and

Alarmed that sexual assault and rape is used as a weapon of war. Victims have been abducted and forced into sexual slavery and forced marriage, and

Concerned that gender-based violence against women has increased by 288% in Sudan since 2024, and

Saddened that women’s and human’s rights defenders, medical workers, and people helping survivors have been targeted with rape, harassment, and killings, and

Angered that 87% of women in Sudan have experienced female genital mutilation, and

Concerned that Sudan is facing a large displacement crisis that is putting many women and children at risk, even more than before, for violence and exploitation,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1.  Start a program, WRES (Women’s Rights and Equality in Sudan), and UNESCO advocate and enforce laws that protect women from gender based violence, rape, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Offenders of these are fined $5,000 and sent to prison where there are programs that educate on the importance of equality and women’s rights. Once they are released they will have a 2-10 year probation period depending on the offence. During this period, they will be monitored to ensure they do not offend again.
  2. Start and fund an organization called RFTW (relief for targeted women) which would work with WHO to give healthcare and support, mental and economical, to women and girls targeted with sexual assault and abuse, rape, female genital mutilation, and gender based violence. This would also provide safe places and homes where women and girls could go to escape abusive and unsafe households.
  3. UNICEF and UN WOMEN work in hospitals to protect infant girls from female genital mutilation and provide baby supplies, food, feminine hygiene products, etc to women. If a doctor is found guilty of conducting female genital mutilation they are sent to prison, $10,000 fined, and lose their job.
  4. RFTW and UN WOMEN fund women only public transportation such as buses. These buses are used to transport women from their unsafe homes to the safe places RFTW and WHO are funding, take girls to school, drive to hospitals, etc. Women can ride these buses without the fear of assault, kidnapping, and rape that is there when their safety is not guaranteed.

●           Hire doctors, teachers, safe workers, therapists, bus drivers, etc

●           Build safe homes and hire people to work in them buy supplies (sanitation supplies, stretchers, IV’s, needles, gloves, medicine, and vaccines) and tech (ECG machines, vital monitors, and defibrillators) for hospitals for targeted women and girls.

●           Fund baby supplies and female hygiene products for women in need

●           Fund workers for RFTW and WRES Funding for the buses

Taylor Swift, Subrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrgio, Conan Gray to fund and participate in a world tour where the profits go to funding the safe homes we’re building, the supplies provided, and the workers that work there. This would take around two years from the organization to the end of the tour. ($2,000,000,000)

Dairy Queen does events where they sell a certain flavor of soft-serve ice cream and money goes to funding RFTW and WRES. Alongside this, Schnucks has agreed to ask everyone buying something from them if they want to round up their dollars for targeted women in Sudan ($3,600,000).

Gofundme for the women in Sudan ($40,000,000)

Offenders of the laws protecting women will be fined and used to fund doctors protecting women from female genital mutilation. (10% decrease per year)

The budget for this project will be $117,880,000 as a base pay, then we would need $76,380,000 a year every year after.

●           $14,580,000 a year to hire and pay doctors, teachers, safe workers, therapists, etc (10 safe workers*$75,000 a year*15 safe houses=$11,250,000, 15 prisons*$74,000 a year*3 teachers per prison=$3,330,000).

●           $900,000 to build 15 safe houses where women and girls in abusive households can go ($60,000*15).

●           $38,000,000 to buy supplies for the houses and hospitals. We would have to buy sanitation supplies, female hygiene products, baby supplies, stretchers, IV’s, needles, gloves, medicine, and vaccines alongside machines and tech such as ECG machines, vital monitors, and defibrillators ($3,800,000 for supplies and machinery*10 hospitals).

●           $60,000,000 (500 people per organization*2 organizations*$60,000 a year=$60,000,000) to pay workers that work at RFTW so they can help give resources to targeted women and help them make plans to escape their unsafe households alongside WRES so they can work with the UN to conduct the monthly checks on Sudan to ensure they are enforcing laws protecting women.

●           $2,600,000 for 15 women only buses and $1,800,000 for 30 bus divers per year

●           The money from the fines is used for extra things such as bus repairs, baby and feminine supplies, building repairs, etc ($10,000,000)

  1. A timeline of our project would include allowing Sudan one year to put the laws in place and start enforcing them before we start fining them. During that time, we will have people building the safe houses and supplying them. The organizations such as WRES and RFTW would start working immediately with women through hospitals and through the safe houses. Immediately after the safe houses are built we will transfer the women only transportation and hire drivers to run it. Once Sudan puts the laws into place we will start hiring doctors to save girls from FGM and monitor they’re coworkers to ensure it happens as little as possible. As well as introduce group education programs on women’s rights into prisons/jails for offenders of the laws protecting women.
  2. To evaluate the success of these measures, we will first track the percent of girls getting FGM every year. In the first year, we want a 25% decrease, then we want at least a 5% decrease every year until FGM in Sudan is not a practice at all. We will then track the amount of women being raped, assaulted, abused, kidnapped, and killed every year as well. We want there to be a 10% decrease in the first year of the buses, organizations, and safe houses being implemented. Our safe houses will track the amount of women and girls coming into the safe houses and report that information to WRES and RFTW to ensure laws are being made and enforced around protecting women. If this is successful, we would like to spread our programs to surrounding countries who are also struggling with women’s rights and safety such as Libya, Eritrea, Chad, Central African Republic, and Dominican Republic of the Congo.

Re.:                                  Global Warming
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                Australia
Date:                               April 17, 2026

Emphasizing that it is in the interest of the UN to prevent Global warming, and

Having studied that countries like Chad, Somalia, and South Sudan are greatly affected by global warming, leading to loss of food, flooding, and many more side effects, and

Alarmed by the fact that there were about 2.52 million deaths in 2022 due to global warming, and

Seeking a future with overall reduced global warming,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1.           Encourages all members to implement the practices of the AGWA (Anti Global Warming Association).

a.           This includes installing stronger recycling systems,

b.           Making electric cars more accessible,

c.           Using outreach to teach kids in school about simple, eco-friendly practices,

d.           Implementing renewable energy sources (like solar power, hydro powered energy, eolic energy, etc.,

e.           And encouraging sustainable farming to reduce chemical use

i.            Money donated would help to reduce price on tools like this, and and remove price from countries greatly affected by global warming and/or countries with a pore infrastructure;

2.           Urges for countries to help donate supplies, money, and time to assist in the project;

3.           Hopes that sustainable practices are redoubled, leading to the world becoming a better place;

4.           Express its appreciation to countries helping our cause;

5.           Proclaims that countries not supported with a strong infrastructure will not receive any additional resources.


Resolution GA-05 April 17

Re.:                                  The Gender Wage Gap in Mexico
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                The Netherlands
Date:                               April 17, 2026

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #5 is Gender Equality, and

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #10 is Reduced Inequalities, and

Whereas Article 23 section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.”, and

Outraged that in 2025, women in Mexico earn on average 20% less than men, and

Disappointed that in Mexico, the wage gap is roughly 15.6%, and

Saddened that fewer than 30% of mothers have jobs compared to over 94% fathers, and

Distraught that wage gaps persist, with women earning an average of MX$201 (US$12.68) daily compared with MX$228 for men performing similar roles, and

Alarmed that over 17 million women (about 25-30% of the total female population 15+) are engaged exclusively in unpaid work, such as childcare and housework,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. The United Nations will begin a program called FRFW (Financial Relief For Women). FRFW will partner with UNW and UNICEF and open 4 all day daycare centers that can hold 25 kids throughout the city. The people that will work there are experienced daycare workers and are the women that live locally in the area. The FRFW will set up a driving system where women can be driven to their jobs if they don’t have an accessible vehicle. That will also start in Mexico City.
  2. FRFW will also partner with Jennifer Lawrence to make a babysitting program called Newborns Club, where babysitters will babysit children for free so mothers can go work and not have to worry about their children. That will also begin in Mexico City. The babysitters are able to babysit for 8-10 hours. The babysitters that will take care of the children have at least 2 years of experience.
  3. The FRFW will also set up a punishment starting in Mexico City and then if it works branching out where if an owner of a company doesn’t pay the women the same amount as men, they will be fined 8867.55 Mexican Pesos which is $509.12. We picked that big of a fine because it is a large amount of money. We will make sure owners are paying the same amount as men by regularly checking on companies. There is already a law against women being paid less than men, so this will reinforce it.

  4. The budget we will need for this project is ~ $14 million. We would need 6 million dollars to make the general building of the 4 daycares, and we would need 3 million to do the inside parts of the daycares. We would need $62,800 per daycare worker, which is 5 per 1 daycare center. That 62 thousand dollars is to cover their paychecks for over 2 years.  We would need 1 million dollars to buy taxi cars for the driving program. For the drivers we would need $54,800 for each driver of which there are 30. That 54 thousand dollars is to cover their paychecks for over 2 years. For the babysitters we would need $62,800 per babysitter of which there are 25. That 62 thousand dollars is to cover their paychecks for over 2 years also. We will get 50% of our money from Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lawrence, and Beyoncé since they all speak up for women’s rights. We are also asking for Iceland to donate this project money since they are very strong in gender equality. We also are asking the UNW and UNICEF to donate for the rest of our budget.
  5. Our program will at first last 2 years and if it is a success will continue. Our goal is to build the 4 daycares and get the driving program set up in the first year. In our second year we will try and get the babysitters program fully set up.
  6. We will know our program works if the gender wage gap decreases by 10%. We also will know if our program works if the women employment rate increases by 10%. If all this is successful we will branch out to the bordering cities and countries who struggle with gender wage gaps like Guatemala and the U.S.A. If this isn’t successful we will add on a year and then reevaluate.
