Resolution GA-01 April 30

Re.:                                  Child Labor in Mozambique
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                Mozambique
Date:                               April 30, 2026

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

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

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #4 is Quality Education, and

Whereas 22% of children are combining school and work, and

Having considered that only 69.5% of kids aged 5-14 actually attend school, and

Whereas stated by the Bureau of International Labor Affairs, “However, prohibitions against the commercial sexual exploitation of children do not meet international standards because laws do not specifically criminalize the use of a child for prostitution. In addition, existing social programs are insufficient to fully address the extent of the child labor problem.”,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. (Action Plan) –  The United Nations shall begin a program called FEMC (Free Education for Mozambique Children) which would essentially provide free, quality education for all children in Mozambique.
  2. (Funding) – For a single school to be built, it would cost around $140,000 to $21,000 dollars. To build multiple, all access schools in Mozambique would cost over $100,000 dollars. The UN would select the 10 richest and most willing countries of the UN to help donate money for construction supplies, and construction of the buildings until we have over $1,550,000 dollars. This would be enough to have at least 1 school in each of the 154 districts. More schools means a safer environment, less kidnappings, resulting in less child labor.
  3. (Timeline) – This project would take 3+ years to build multiple schools, and to acquire all the required supplies for quality learning.  Every semester, or three months, the UN should send someone to inspect the schools to check if there are any problems, and if the children are truly learning. If the education doesn’t show, then we would have some educators from places with good education to sit in and give advice to those teachers.
  4. (Evaluation) – Due to the new access to education over three years, the UN should be able to observe the child labor rate decreasing from 30% to the smaller number of 5 to 10%.

Resolution GA-02 April 30

Re.:                                  Myanmar Food Insecurity
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                Thailand, Myanmar
Date:                               April 30, 2026

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 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 Sustainable Development Goal #2 is Zero Hunger, and

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

Deeply concerned that one year after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, 12.4 million people (or 1 in 4) are struggling with food insecurity, and

Acknowledging that conflicts in the Middle East are increasing costs and limiting access to food, fuel, fertilizer, and basic human physiological needs, and

Keeping in mind nearly 5.2 million people or (1 in 10) in Myanmar have been displaced due to ongoing violence and political instability, limiting access to food, shelter, and basic services, and

Noting that these economic factors have resulted in a loss of one third of the national GDP ($100 billion) which reduces the durability of Myanmar’s capability of dealing with future challenges and natural disasters,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. The United Nations, in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP) and regional partners, will establish a program called the Myanmar Coalition for Disaster Operations Necessities Aid Logistics Development and Shelter (MCDONALDS) to address severe food insecurity and health needs by delivering essential food supplies such as rice, lentils, and fortified cereals, as well as basic medical aid to affected populations.
  2. The MCDONALDS program will coordinate with local and regional transportation networks to distribute aid across Myanmar, with a focus on conflict-affected areas and displaced populations, prioritizing the approximately 5.2 million people who have been displaced and those facing acute food shortages.
  3. In addition to emergency relief, MCDONALDS will support long-term sustainability by providing farming tools, fertilizer, and agricultural training to local communities, as well as funding the construction of wells and infrastructure to improve access to clean water and food production.
  4. Funding – To fund the MCDONALDS, the United Nations will request a raise to the annual dues of the 20 wealthiest member nations by 2.5%, generating approximately $80,000,000 per year. These funds will contribute to the cost of food, transportation, farming support, and administration.
  5. Budget – The total proposed yearly budget for MCDONALDS is $80,000,000 This includes $60,000,000 for food supplies to support those facing food insecurity, $35,000,000 for transportation and logistics, $12,000,000 for agricultural support programs, and $2,000,000 for clean water and well construction, and $1,000,000 for administrative and operational costs.
  6. Timeline – The initial phase of MCDONALDS will last 18 months, beginning with immediate emergency food aid distribution, followed by continued support and sustainability development. After this period, the program will be reviewed and extended based on effectiveness and need.
  7. Evaluation – The success of MCDONALDS will be measured by the reduction of people living in a state of food insecurity, successful implementation of agricultural programs, and feedback from local communities and partnering humanitarian organizations.
  8. Possible Expansion – If MCDONALDS proves effective, the program may be extended and expanded to additional regions within Myanmar and other countries experiencing similar crises.

Re.:                                  Reducing Gang Violence in Barbados
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                Barbados
Date:                               April 30, 2026

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 Sustainable Development Goal #16 is Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, and

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. The United Nations will begin a program called FORCE (Framework for Organized Crime Elimination) which will work to create more secure and trained police forces with a good jail system, reduced firearms, and create an awareness for young gangsters for what to do in these situations.
  2. FORCE will start by selecting 3 areas with the highest gang violence in Barbados and will establish teaching programs and a therapy center as well as a security center. We will also create homes and select workers from the area for these positions. If there are not enough the UN will trade and provide some.
  3. The teaching program will focus on training young children on what to do in a threatening situation and how to report it. The therapy will be provided by teachers are trained with a therapy program. The security center will be installing security cameras in this chosen area and a training program for these police centers which will provided jobs for the unemployed.
  4. Each area will cost $1.2 million to train, staff, and create. The total needed for this program is $3.6 million.
    – $200,000 for security
    – $200,000 to create a therapy program
    – $300,000 for staffing
    – $500,000 for modernizing police forces

  5. The $3.6 million will come from the 15 wealthiest nations. We are requesting each nation provide $240,000. If the country declines we ask that the government of Barbados raise a small tax on food exports to support FORCE.
  6. After 2 years, FORCE will be evaluated by the UN General Assembly. If the gang crime rate decreased by 5% the program will be deemed successful. If successful, FORCE will expand to 4 more regions in Barbados. It will also expand to 2 more countries in the Caribbean with high gang crime rates. We recommend Jamaica and Haiti.

Resolution GA-04 April 30

Re.:                                  Illegal Deportations Leading to Gang Violence in El Salvador
Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                El Salvador
Date:                               April 30, 2026

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

Whereas Article 10 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.”, 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 the “Alien Enemies Act” has deported close to 300 Venezuelan and Salvadoran men without a hearing or any real link to gang violence, and

Whereas men staying in CECOT (Centro de Confinameinto del Terrorismo/ high security prison) in El Salvador face inhumane conditions such as no mattress, no visitors, reports of systematic abuse, and even allegations of torture, and

Whereas only 20% of those deported to El Salvador had criminal records and most of those are non-violent crimes such as shoplifting or trespassing,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. (Action Plan) – Create fair trials for everyone with alleged connections to gang violence before deporting, new rules within the prison and possibly new workers and separating those who are causing problems, also sending people to check the quality and estimate what else needs to be done. Since most gangs in America are only criminal organisations and not terrorist groups, they should be placed in prisons in America depending on their guilt and place of birth not automatically sent to El Salvador.
  2. (Funding) – The trials will be free with the exception of lawyers which will be paid by both parties, but the prison will cost around 550 million dollars (including paychecks for security after a year)  which El Salvador needs help to pay for. This prison would be made to replace CECOT also removing the dangerous conditions to restore safety for those who are found guilty. The prison will be about the size of a hospital which would hold about 4,000 inmates.
  3. (Timeline) – Checks on progress will happen once a month and the project will likely take about four years to fully take effect.
  4. (Evaluation) –  The UN will be able to track the improvement by checking how many trials are held, if the number of people deported to El Salvador goes down along with the reports of violence in CECOT (possibly by interviewing/talking to prisoners or visiting to see conditions).

Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #1 is No Poverty, and

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

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

Deeply concerned since 2014 more than 25,000 asylum seekers have died attempting to cross the Mediterranean from northern Africa into Europe, and

Aware that war and widespread violence has led to 86% of refugees, many unaccompanied children, fleeing to Tunisia as a means of applying for asylum across the Mediterranean in Europe, and

Recognizing that limited access to safe and legal migration pathways, combined with conflict and instability in countries experiencing violence, continues to force refugees to take drastic measures crossing the Mediterranean,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

  1. The Northern Africa Migration Efforts (NAME) will be established by the United Nations with help from the Tunisian and Swedish Government and Internal Organization for Migration (IOM). The program’s goal is to reduce migration induced deaths and lessen the need for risky, illegal paths out of violence and war-ridden locations specifically, in Northern Africa.
  2. NAME will partner with different European coast guards to increase search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically targeting immigration routes, to help save refugees injured or in life threatening situations.
  3. NAME will also be in charge of creating asylum application centers in major North African cities. They will specifically train people to reassure and guide displaced persons looking to migrate safely. NAME will find countries who are willing to host and welcome an influx of migrants. NAME will partner with major airlines willing to donate flights for positive press and publicity.
  4. The migration centers will make applying for asylum more accessible and lessen the chance of people forced to take risky illegal routes.
  5. Funding -To fund the Mediterranean NAME program, the United Nations will request increased contributions from the 20 wealthiest member states generating approximately $75,000,000 annually.
  6. Budget – The total proposed budget for NAME is $70,000,000 This includes $35,000,000 for search and rescue operations, $20,000,000 for refugee processing and safe pathway programs, $10,000,000 for humanitarian support services in transit countries, and $5,000,000 for administrative and coordination costs.
  7. Timeline – The initial phase of NAME will last 2.5 years, beginning with the expansion of search and rescue operations and followed with the gradual implementation of safe migration pathways, and asylum centers.
  8. Evaluation – The success of NAME will be measured in the reduction of migrant fatalities, increased use of legal migration pathways, improved asylum processing, and regular reporting from IOM and UNHCR reporting. 
  9. Possible Expansion – If NAME proves successful, it may be expanded to other global migration routes experiencing similar risks.

Submitted to:                 General Assembly
Submitted by:                Costa Rica, Vietnam
Date:                               April 30, 2026

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 that Vietnam has rapid industrialization, and
