Resolution GA-01 April 25

Re.:                             Sexual Abuse in India
Submitted to:             General Assembly

Submitted by:            India

Date:                           April 25, 2019

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

Appalled that 24,923 cases of sexual abuse were documented in 2012, and

Disgusted that only 500 of these cases were committed by someone the victim did not know, and

Mortified that India is the world’s most unsafe country for women. Women in India cannot walk on the street alone anymore, and

Disturbed by the statistic that every fifteen minutes, one child is sexually abused. One hundred cases are reported every day. These statistics are more than horrifying, and hard to process, and

Saddened that between 2016 and 2017, the amount of crimes rose 12%, and

Ashamed that there have been very high profile cases of sexual abuse-and sometimes even murder against people ranging from eight to twenty-three year olds. These cases have led to protests, but in the end there are still thousands of people who are abused every year, and

Repulsed that 42% of girls in India have been sexually abused,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. Better laws. These new laws would establish a harsher penalty to anyone sexually abusing under age children.
2. Sexual abuse hotline. This hotline would not only be free of discrimination, but would allow a higher employment rate. Individuals who called the hotline falsely will have three strikes before they’d receive a penalty. This hotline would cost a total of ₹4,152,823,920 ($60,000,000) per year
3. Safe shelters for people experiencing abuse. Each shelter would be relatively cheap and full of staff to help people who are being abused, offering an immediate escape. This would cost ₹10,425,463,920 ($150,627,102) per year
4. Teaching kids about sexual abuse. Once children reach their last middle school year, young teens would be required to attend a class deterring children from sexual abuse, and educating on how to get out of a situation. At this point, 50% of women and men believe that sometimes, women deserve beatings. These classes would also introduce proper beliefs people as well as the previously mentioned hotlines and safe houses. This would cost ₹8,640,000,000 ($124,830,720) per year
5. Enforced security. Currently, there are 150 police per every 1,926,000 people. The number would be raised to 300 officers per every 1,926,000 people. Because of the corrupt police, people looking to become officers will endure stricter training and comprehensive background checks. This would cost ₹32,917,320,000 ($475,605,898) per year
6. The employees of the sexual abuse hotline would be paid a minimum of ₹346 per hour, ₹346,068,660.02 per month.
7. The safe shelters would be funded by the government and through donations from the public. The working individuals (10 workers per shelter) in the shelter would be paid a minimum of ₹484 per hour, ₹1,162,875,840 to build the shelters, ₹4,152,823,920.27 for supplies, and ₹522,720,000 per month for employees.
8. The teachers of the safety classes would be paid ₹720 rupees per hour, making the wage be ₹720,000,000 per month for the government to pay for one teacher at every school in India.
9. ₹2,743,110,000 per month to cover every police officer in India at starting wage.

Total:  ₹55,896,889,454 ($811,063,720) per year plus ₹1,162,875,840 ($16,801,230) to build the shelters.

10. We are asking for 10% from Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, and Japan each year to help make this movement possible. We are also asking for donations from the Indian public to help fund the safe shelters.

Resolution GA-02 April 25

Re.:                             Human Trafficking
Submitted to:             General Assembly

Submitted by:            Spain, South Korea, Mexico, Sweden

Date:                           April 25, 2019

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

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

Knowing slavery (human trafficking) is a crime it makes it harder for the victim to call for help or escape because it is done in secret, and 

Worried human trafficking is in complete violation of human rights, and it causes physical trauma to the victims, ostracism, can lead to STIs, civil unrest and mass chaos can lead to higher chances of human trafficking, and

Concerned that children are in danger of being abused by traffickers because they are weak, vulnerable, and

Aware that human trafficking is a worldwide concern that may have more people involved than we know because they usually relocate their victims to different places, and

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nation will start a mass investigation in these countries Eritrea, Venezuela, and the United States. Solving the human trafficking.
2. Make a therapy program to help people mentally who have been affected or abused by human trafficking.
   
   
3. Make law enforcement in impoverished areas more strict. For example, training police officers to make them more prepared for these situations.
   
   
4. Also, a doctor in poorer areas also needs the training to help victims in human trafficking situations. For example, if human trafficking leads to STIs the programs the doctors should know how to treat it.
   
   
5. If this program lasts for about 3 years then the crime of human trafficking can reduce and we will be able to expand in two more countries Libya and Somalia. After that, we can expand to two more countries.
6. $300 million dollars for housing and special therapy for the victims. With help from Spain, Sweden, Mexico, and South Korea giving $63 million dollars we are able to help other 3rd world countries.

Resolution GA-03 April 25

Re.:                             Opioid Crisis in the United States     
Submitted to:             General Assembly

Submitted by:            Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey

Date:                           April 25, 2019

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 19 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”, and

Knowing that this a crisis all over the United States and the world, this issue has become a public health crisis with devastating consequences including increases in opioid misuse and related overdoses, and

Worried that every day, more than 130 people just in the United States die after overdosing on opioids, In 2017, more than 47,000 Americans died as a result of an opioid overdose, including prescription opioids, heroin, and illicitly manufactured fentanyl, (a powerful synthetic opioid), and

Concerned that Opioid overdoses increased 30 percent from July 2016 through September 2017 in 52 areas in 45 states. About 80 percent of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids and roughly 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them, and

Aware that the United States Department of Health and Human Services in focusing on,improving access to treatment and recovery services promoting the use of overdose-reversing, drugs strengthening our understanding of the epidemic through better public health surveillance, providing support for cutting-edge research on pain and addiction, and advancing better practices for pain management, and

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

2. For a five year trial period, as the United Nations, we will be proposing a program called Opioid Reform Program (ORF).
3. We will be assigning a nurse whose primary job is to keep track of who is getting opioids. The nurse will also track how many opioids, how long and for why.
4. Nurses will be stationed in places that are needed the most.
5. The proposed budget is $5,000 per staff. We assume 4 million people in the U.S. die of an opioid drug overdose. Then we say for every 1,000 people, we need one nurse. 4 million divided by 1,000 is 4,000 nurses. We need about 4,000 nurses to support the people who need the help the most. The cost for all the nurses is about $20 million.
6. Social workers have a monthly check in with patients on opioids to see how they are doing and if they still need it and if it’s possible to lower the dosages on the opioids.
7. A 6-month suspension for selling said drug for the drug companies who push prescriptions of their drugs.
8. A 4-month suspension for doctors who overprescribe or prescribe when unnecessary.

This can be raised or lowered based on the severity of the prescription.
