Resolution GA-01 April 27
Re.: Preventing Crime in the Bahamas
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Bahamas
Date: April 27, 2021
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
Concerned that 169 people in the Bahamas died from murder alone in the past two years, and
Recognizing that the Bahamas has a population of 393,244, and
Saddened that the citizens of the Bahamas are in constant danger everyday and nobody has stepped up to help, and
Noting that There are minimal people living in the Bahamas yet so many have died,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- The UN create a program called Bahamian Security Association (BSA). The goal of BSA is to decrease the overall amount of crimes in the Bahamas, and to keep people safe.
- BSA will provide security to homes and businesses along with giving it to our first priorities which are stores that have the most robberies.
- BSA will also build training camps to train new police staff. Our goal is 5,000 police officers. We will hire police dog trainers so the new police staff have assistance such as these dogs. We will have around 25 police dogs total. 5 per each camp site. We will have around 5 camps sites in one area of the Bahamas to train all that are interested in becoming a police officer.
- BSA will cost around $30,075,000 just the security for shops, homes that need it, and the training camps for dogs and Bahamian citizens. The governmental funds for the Bahamas are low and are overall struggling. We were hoping to get donations from the top 15 wealthiest countries in the UN to fund this program with at least one million dollars. We are asking the wealthy and peaceful countries such as Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Ireland for two million dollars. We plan to take our plan one step at a time. For the first portion of our action plan, we will focus on police staff. If it is successful and the numbers abate we will continue to expand. If the numbers do not successfully decrease, we will upgrade home and business security.
- Depending on how long it will take to train the dogs and the citizens, we are hoping to in 2 years. We researched the approximate amount of homes in the Bahamas and businesses and police training camps/stations. If in the next 5 years we want the deaths to decrease at least 20%. If it is successful in the Bahamas, we would expand Cuba and Haiti.
Resolution GA-02 April 27
Re.: Natural Disaster Relief in Haiti and Philippines
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Japan, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Argentina, Denmark, Italy
Date: April 27, 2021
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 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 that buildings in Haiti were not built to withstand powerful earthquakes. Before 2010, there were no proper building codes for houses in Haiti. Over half of the population lives in rural areas with their homes consisting of mud walls and palm leaves woven together for a roof. In the cities, most live in overpopulated slums with no enforced safety regulations. This leaves a majority of the population vulnerable to losing their homes if a natural disaster strikes, and
Horrified that a cholera outbreak took place in one of the camps after the earthquake. However, along with the foreign aid and continuous construction of houses, the country has been successful in containing the cholera outbreak that overtook the camp after the earthquake. Haiti’s last confirmed cholera case was in January 2019, and has not seen any since,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- We will create a program called Helping with Natural Disasters in Haiti and the Philippines. We will be partnering with the Red Cross, Doctors without Borders and Bridges for Haiti. We will be working in Port au Prince, Haiti and Quevon, Philippines since these are the most populated cities and are located on or near the coast.
- Our program will build hospitals, schools, temporary housing, repair roadways and bridges to help bring these cities back to life following a natural disaster like a hurricane, tsunami, or earthquake. We need Engineers, Construction Workers, Nurses and Teachers, these will be volunteer and paid positions. We will also need Building Material, Tools, Hospital Vans, Emergency Supplies, Nurses, Transportation, Building Materials, and Machinery-test bridges. We will be building 3 hospitals and 3 schools in each location.
- We will be successful if in 5 years we help 1, 700 people a year for a total of 8,500 people in each country.
- This program will cost 25 million dollars and we plan on getting that money from the 30 wealthiest nations by increasing their UN dues by 1%.
- If we are successful, we will move this program to other nations including Japan, Fiji and Indonesia.
Resolution GA-03 April 27
Re.: Child Labor in Cambodia
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Cambodia
Date: April 27, 2021
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 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 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 parents who send their children off to work and to get educated live with other families. The parents think their children are getting educated but they’re forced to do child labor, and
Concerned that according to the Cambodian Human Development Report reported that approximately 65,000 children between the ages of 5 and 13 work 25 hours a week and did not attend school, and
Hoping that parents will contact Doctors Without Borders if their children are getting diseases by doing harmful acts of child labor and can’t afford the medical bills,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- The General Assembly should start a program called D.C.L.I.C (Decrease Child Labor In Cambodia) so we can help Cambodia decrease its child labor in most of the rural area.
- D.C.L.I.C will provide $2,500 every 3 months to families in rural areas so they can pay for rents, bills, and buy food, and clothes, and etc. The General Assembly should provide money to these families so their children can stop working and go to school. This will cost a total of $2,010,000.00.
- D.C.L.I.C will make education very important by providing school books and private tutors if needed and giving the children one free year of education and schooling. Cambodia’s education system is very good but about 65,000 children are working to get money for their families, but they are not getting educated. These children not getting educated will make Cambodia’s education system and rates go down. This will cost about $750,000.00.
- D.CL.I.C will provide security provisions to check on families with the money provided every month to make sure the children are in school and they are not working. This will cost $750,000.00.
- D.C.L.I.C will provide free healthcare and work with Doctors Without Borders so the doctors can treat them for free. This will cost $3,611,100.00.
- D.C.L.I.C will start a donation program requesting money from wealthier countries. If the countries will not donate any money, D.C.L.I.C will request the U.N. will raise the dues by 10% of the 10 wealthiest nations.
- D.C.L.I.C will cost $10,000,000.00.
- D.C.L.I.C should continue if this program is working and child labor is decreasing (at least 5% a year) in the next five years, this program can be informed to people and this program can spread to other countries in the world that have this same problem such as Somalia, Myanmar, and Sudan.
Resolution GA-04 April 27
Re.: Helping Croatia Achieve a Successful Police Force
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Croatia
Date: April 27, 2021
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
Concerned that too many people are dying, due to police officers beating migrants who come into Croatia peacefully, and
Recognizing some of these situations are unchangeable to protect Croatia, and
Saddened that the lack of peaceful police treating subjects with sympathy, and
Noting that Croatia struggles with police problems often, and it is something that needs to change,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- CPTA Croatian Police Training Academy
This would be a German run academy due to their strong Police force. Croatians would have three very important steps in becoming a police officer. STT (Study, Test, Training) They would show up at the office for a week studying for the test that is both physical and mental.
- The training would be six months of hard core exercise and physical challenges to prepare the police for everything they may go through during their time as a police officer.
- In order to make this office we would need $16 million in funding this includes paying the peers who work at this office, all of the construction that goes into building the office, this would go into gear needed for the police academy, this would go into the monthly taxes and bill for keeping this building substantial. We would get half of this money from Croatia’s government and the other half from the four richest countries (they would all donate 2 million dollars).
- In order to be qualified to start studying in the official office, you would need a four year bachelor’s degree in one of the following:
Law, Criminal justice, Psychology, Forensics, Computer science, Cyber security, Accounting, Public safety.
- The current population in Croatia is approximately 4 million residents. We would take the population in consideration when deciding how many police to let in the training academy every year. Our plan for the next eight year program is to train 250 police officers every year and for every 50 that retire or quit we would train 75 more.
- The office will be running for the next eight years. In this time, we will collect data to see how this is changing the overall amount of migrant abuse in Croatia. We would want the abuse level to improve from 60% of all migrant abuse to decrease to 40% or less.
- Part of the Office would be a place where traumatic victims of abuse could speak with a therapist about their personal experience. The therapist would get paid a small wage but would only have to come in three times a week to talk with the migrants who have come to seek help.
- For the first year we will have a doctor in the office. This doctor would help the migrants who would come to the office who have been injured from past events including Croatian police.
- This company would only be run by Germany for the first five years. By then there would be trained police officers in the system.
- If the overall percent of all migrant abuse decreased from 60% to 40% in only 6 years we would make this academy in Niger, Kenya, Uganda, Bolivia. All of these countries don’t have substantial police and or are a dangerous place to live with a high crime rate.

Re.: Clean Water in Ethiopia
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Finland, New Zealand, Mexico
Date: April 27, 2021
Whereas Article 2 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without any distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.”, and
Whereas Article 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.”, and
Alarmed that only 42% of the population has access to clean water supply, and
Concerned that 89 million people lack access to sanitation, and clean water,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- Will start a program called Clean Water in Ethiopia (CWE) . We will be working in areas that lack clean water in Ethiopia, specifically Addis Ababa.
- The organizations we will work with are the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders to give clean water to people in Ethiopia.
- We will need cleaning and building supplies, chemicals (fluoride), medical stations and transportation (local vehicles/carts and buckets) to rehabilitate old wells and citizen water transportation. We will rehab first and analyze where new wells are needed. The total number of workers will be 100 and we will pay them.
- If access to clean water increases by 10% in four years we will expand our program to Dire Dawa, Ethiopia and cities in Eritrea.
- We will need 10 million dollars. We will raise the dues of the 30 top paying countries by 1%. We will come back every 2 years and have paid professionals stationed to fix major damage in an emergency if the organization can’t travel.

Alarmed that during COVID-19 many schools are unsanitary with pit latrines, over crowded classrooms, and no running water with no virtual learning environment possible and
Concerned that quality of education depends on where students are born, how wealthy student’s families are, and the color of their skin and
Worried that in 2013 the government was required to have all the schools have access to electricity, good sanitation, proper bathrooms, and for the schools built from materials that were inappropriate for building to be replaced, yet these targets were and still have not been met,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- The UN will create a program called Better Education for South Africa (BESA). The goal of BESA would be to renovate old schools and build all inclusive new ones, supply schools and students with virtual learning environments, and get better educated teachers for the schools.
- BESA will provide virtual learning devices and options to students with educated teachers to teach them as well as virtual learning packets to the students and improve education in South Africa, starting in 25% of the country.
- After providing students with virtual learning BESA will start renovating old schools and building 5 new schools that are larger and more sanitary with proper bathrooms and improved learning topics. The schools will also have better educated teachers. Each school will have the capacity for about 400-450 students with about 25 students in a class.
- BESA will need 5 schools costing $65,000 total, school supplies costing $20,312,500 a year, virtual learning devices costing $125,000,000 total, teachers costing $0 total with Teachers Without Borders, and school renovation costing $28,125,000 total.

- BESA will last 5 years and be reviewed every year.
- If successful, the South African literacy rate going up by at least 5% , BESA will be expanded to 50% of South Africa.
