Resolution GA-01 March 28

Re.:                             Lack of Clean Drinking Water in Djibouti
Submitted to:             General Assembly
Submitted by:            Djibouti
Date:                           March 28, 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 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

Knowing that clean drinking water is a need of every person, this reduces the state of health in the country. Rural areas are in the most danger, as they have the least, if any, access to clear resources. About 50% of people are out of reach from safe drinking water. 27.4% of people die from a drought every year and many others die from inadequate water. This can higher the death rate in Djibouti. This lack of water is affecting all of the livestock and is causing a loss of crops, and

Worried that the lack of water is affecting the livestock which chains to a lack of food, and lack of a healthy lifestyle and puts the lives of all people in danger. Herdsmen have lost up to 70-80% of their livestock, while food prices have elevated more than 50%.  The conditions in this country are so concerning that the people of Djibouti are out of reach from supplies and resources, and

Concerned that many people in Djibouti are dying every year caused by their lack of clean water. Contaminated water can lead to multiple life-threatening diseases that can also be very arduous to recovery, and

Aware that Djibouti is a less fortunate country, so they do not have abundant access to simple resources needed for adequate living conditions. We could change this by convincing more countries to support Djibouti. We could avoid spending a large amount money by purchasing small water purifiers, and handing them out to all of citizens of Djibouti,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nations will begin a program called Clean Water for Djibouti that will provide clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people. It will also help with the lack of food in Djibouti because the food scarcity is due to the water scarcity.
2. Water filters will be sent to Djibouti City and Ali Sabieh. From there they will be sent out to every city in Djibouti.
3. We will send people from the UK to Djibouti to teach locals how to use the life straws and make sure they are being used properly.
4. Clean Water for Djibouti will cost $8,612,865 each six months for Life straws. The money will be provided by the United Nations of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Denmark.
5. This will take about 5 years to successfully fulfill. If it is successful, then Djibouti will no longer need charity from the UN and the program will no longer need to be used. If this success happens sooner than envisioned, we may stop the supply. If the problem raises again, we will be able to supply the country again.
6. If this program is successful then we will expand this across the world, starting with Ethiopia. Then we will expand to Congo, and to Uganda, and so on.
7. The water will be provided by the red sea and other water sources nearby, depending on where you live. However, the red sea is not purified, this is why you need a life straw.

Resolution GA-02 March 28

Re.:                             Pakistan Energy Crisis
Submitted to:             General Assembly

Submitted by:            Pakistan

Date:                           March 28, 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 24 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.”, 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 500,000 households are impacted by unemployment because businesses have been forced to shut down due to energy shortages, and

Concerned that many people have no electricity for 20 hours per day, and

Worried that over 140 million Pakistanis have no access to electricity, and

Upset that Pakistanis who don’t have access to electricity are often poorer than those who do,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. We are asking for the UNs help in planting renewable energy sources in Pakistan, in order to reduce the amount of fossil fuels wasted.
2. To do this, we will start by putting 5 windmills in both Punjab and Karachi.  We chose these cities because these cities have farms.  5 windmills in two cities totals to 10 windmills. The cost of installing one windmill is $48,000, and the equipment cost is $40,000. So, the total cost of one windmill is $88,000.  The cost of the total windmills is $880,000. 
3. After 5 years, we hope that the use of energy that is wasted on farms is reduced by 10%.  After that 10% reduction, we will begin to place solar panels on the roofs of factories.  We’re doing this in the city of Islamabad.  We will place 1420 solar panels on each of the three factories, which totals to 4260 panels.  A singular panel will cost about $4.00, and about $11,380 to install.  The cost of the installing and buying all of the solar panels is $48,495,840. 
4. After another 5 years, we predict that the energy wasted during manufacturing is reduced by another 10%. After this, we will begin teaching our children about how to properly conserve energy. This will not cost any extra money because the teachers are already employed at the schools. This program will be called Saving Energy, and will teach them things such as turning off lights when they aren’t in the room, take showers instead of baths because that uses less energy, turning off the lights during the day and using natural light, etc. We will give teachers a book to teach them how to save energy so they can teach their students have to save energy. The book will cost $25.00 for the teachers. Our hope is that the kids will go home and talk about what they learned, and actually use these skills. After about 2 years, we hope wasted energy rates will go down by 5%.  After all of this, the 25% of wasted energy will be back and put to good use.  
5. We are getting the money for this by raising the dues of the ten nations that pay the highest amount of dues by 4%

Resolution GA-03 March 28

Re.:                             Lower Respiratory Infection in Papua New Guinea
Submitted to:             General Assembly
Submitted by:            Papua New Guinea
Date:                           March 28, 2019

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 29 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.”, and

Knowing that Lower Respiratory Infection in Papua New Guinea is causing more deaths and is reducing the resident’s life spans, and

Worried that Papua New Guinea’s population is going to decrease over the years, because of the number of young children catching this disease, at a young age and having it through childhood, and

Concerned that Papua New Guinea may become less populated and even more unhealthy for people to live. People may not want to visit for vacations and it might become poorer and unstable, and

Aware that Papua New Guinea is a poorer country and are unable to pay for medical care, and

Keeping in mind that many people in Papua New Guinea speak different languages so they are not able to ask for medical help,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. Start a program in America called, One Hospital, for Papua New Guinea.

2. A large hospital will be set up in Papua New Guinea. Professional doctors from the U.S. will go to Papua to help with the treating of this disease. There will also be volunteer doctors from Papua New Guinea. Professional translators from the U.S. would go too and help get people to the hospital. There will also be volunteer translators, that know English and at least more than two Papua New Guinea languages.

3. Citizens of Papua New Guinea who cannot receive proper health care will be able to come to the hospital. They will pay an amount of their choosing. If they cannot pay anything, they can go to the hospital for free. This amount will be used to pay doctors. The families will stay in other sanitary rooms, so they can be near their loved ones.

4. We will be supported mainly by donors and sponsors. It will cost around $5 million for the hospital and all of its supplies. Doctors will be paid and switched every three to four months.

5. If we see a change in Papua New Guinea’s overall population, we would continue to help support the program. We hope that this will help with the population, health care, and overall happiness in Papua New Guinea.

Resolution GA-04 March 28

Re.:                             Air Pollution in Greece
Submitted to:             General Assembly

Submitted by:            Greece

Date:                           March 28, 2019

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

Noting that problems occur in health when you are breathing in polluted air which deals with personal security and your life, and

Whereas Article 12 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to protection of the law against such interference and attacks.”, and

Concerned that problems with your health can sometimes deal with your privacy. If the pollution harms your family then you could be at risk of losing a family member. Your home could get polluted with the bad air leaving you homeless, 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 25, section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.”, and

Noting that most people also have medical care which means that the more people are in the hospital for bad health the more the hospitals will be crowded exposing people to sickness, and

Unfortunately, 95% of the people in the world breathe unsafe air – in fact, only one in every 20 people in the world breathe air that is considered safe, and

 Be aware inhaling air pollution takes away at least 1-2 years of a typical human life, and

Knowing outdoor air pollution, ranks in the top ten killers on earth, and

Concerned that 80% of lung diseases are caused by pollution from other cars, buses, trucks and other vehicles, and

Upset that air pollution is a leading environmental cause of cancer deaths, and

Petrified that living in highly polluted cities can double your risk of stroke,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. We are first going to install 5 wind turbines near each of the major cities such as Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and Kalamata which produce the most pollution out of Greece.
2. We would like to use $960,000 midway through 2020 on 5 wind turbines per major city (4 major cities)
3. We will also put out solar panels on the factories that produce the most pollution. This way there will be significantly less pollution. The factories that put out the most pollution in Greece are in Athens. When Athens air pollution goes down by 10%, we will move on to put solar panels on the factories in Thessaloniki, Patras, and Kalamata.
4. The 20 solar panels for big polluting factories (5) will cost $502,400.
5. In 2019, we will install the wind turbines and the solar panels. We plan to have the amount of pollution each year goes down by 10%.
6. After installing solar panels and wind turbines, then we will start slowly converting to geothermal energy. Geothermal energy will help reduce the pollution which means a longer life for most people. Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It will improve the environment from the large number of electric pollution that is being produced. Geothermal energy will cost $20,000.
7. We are going to keep adding this number of solar panels and wind turbines every year till 2023.
8. We are planning that by 2023, there will be a significant drop in the amount of air pollution by 40%.
9. During this period of time, from 2019 to 2023, we will be converting to geothermal energy.
10. This will cost a grand total of about $5,869,600 million. If the decrease in pollution goes down slower than we thought, we will not ask for more money after the $960,000 until the amount of pollution goes down. We will do this for all of the 4 years. The second year we will ask for $980,000 because we will start converting to geothermal energy which costs an extra 20,000. We will get this money by taking 4% of the top ten richest countries’ dues.
11. If our project helps Greece, we will be willing to expand to other countries that are affected by air pollution.

Resolution GA-05 March 28

Re.:                             Continuous Pollution in the Great Barrier Reef
Submitted to:             General Assembly
Submitted by:            Australia
Date:                           March 28, 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 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

 Knowing that the growing amount of pollution in the Great Barrier Reef is affecting the care and preservation of wildlife, and the quality of life for the residents in the area. The Great Barrier Reef is home to one third of the world’s coral population. In 2016, the amount of healthy coral went down, 30% and another 20% in 2017, and

 Worried that 1.5 million tons of plastic is consumed by fish each year, so this endangers the people eating the food coming from the fish. Studies say there is over 600 microplastics in one kilogram of sea salt, and

 Concerned only 9% of plastic gets recycled which means the other 91% sits at landfills, streets, and bodies of water. Plastic can take up to 450 years to disintegrate; therefore, plastic in the ocean is hurting animals, reefs, and people, and

 Aware the Great Barrier Reef also protects the citizens and Australia. When the coral dies, it makes the reef smaller that in turn makes Australia vulnerable to large storms,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. We will place a small tax on plastic bags in larger scale grocery stores, since only 9% of plastic actually gets recycled. Hiring scientists and divers would benefit to check progress of the reef and conduct tests to determine the safety for the general public as well as the wildlife. We could also endorse Take 3 For The Sea which is a non- for profit organization that encourages many surfers and beach-goers in Oceania to help the environment.
2. When patrons go to the store and use plastic bags, there will be a tax of 14 Australian cents. If customers bring their own bags or buy a reusable bag, they won’t be charged a tax at all. We could also endorse Take 3 For The Sea with $3.5 million. We will help fund the company and make them more well known to encourage recycling and to help build branches in different countries affected by pollution.
3. We think that this will cost the United Nations about $4 million. We could collect money from countries who can contribute the most. We are asking $10 million from the United States, Monaco, Japan, Russia, Canada, and Belgium.

 

4. These actions would increase the life expectancy of native animals in the Great Barrier Reef. This could also protect Australia and its people from considerable sized storms and could protect Australia from destruction, which means the UN wouldn’t have to pay for clean up costs. It will also benefit other countries nearby like New Zealand and the Asian Islands so that they do not have to handle with the pollution and it would save costs.

 

5. This action plan would take around 20 years or around when the reef has made sufficient progress. We would measure the progress by the saturation of pollutants in the water.

Resolution GA-06 March 28

Re.:                             Lack of Education in Haiti
Submitted to:             General Assembly

Submitted by:            Haiti

Date:                           March 28, 2019

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

Whereas Article 26, section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance, and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United nations for the maintenance of peace.”, and

Whereas Article 27, section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to freely participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.”, and

Astonished that 75% of students in first grade cannot read a single word, and nearly half cannot read a word at the end of second grade, either, and

Deeply concerned that teachers aren’t educated and qualified to be teaching because 80% haven’t received any training on how to be a teacher, and

Alarmed that 39.3% cannot read and write at age 15, and

Fully Aware that an average Haitian who is 25 years or older has less than 5 years of education, and

Realizing that natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes have caused hundreds of buildings and schools to be destroyed where students could get an education, and

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nations will begin a project called Haiti Education Program to help more students and adults learn how to read and write.

 

2. We will repair some of the public schools, and we can also purchase school supplies and new materials for the teachers. The school supplies and repairing the schools will cost about $12,000,000.

 

3. We will partner with Teachers Without Borders and send 100 teachers to Haiti. The teachers can teach in Haiti for 5 years. They can teach at the college that would be built for unqualified teachers. It will cost $6,500,000 for the 100 teachers salary.

 

4. We will also test the current teachers to see how qualified they are. If they fail the test, they should have the option to get their bachelor’s degree at a school for the teachers in Haiti.

 

5. This school will be built for adults to become qualified for teaching. The teachers that are sent down to Haiti will teach the unqualified teachers. The school will make sure that people will continue to be educated, and it will also give more people to get a chance to get a job as a teacher.

 

6. We will build dorms for the teachers from Teachers Without Borders and the students/unqualified teachers to live while they are at the school. The dorms and the school will cost $26,500,000.

 

7. The entire education program will cost about $45 million which will pay for the teachers salary, school supplies, repairing schools, and building the college and dorms for teachers and students. We will get the money from raising the dues of the 10 nations that pay the highest dues by 3.5%.

 

8. In two years, we will check to see if the literacy rate is going up by 5% for the students. In five years we will check to make sure the literacy rate goes up by 10%. In ten years, we will see how many teachers have graduated the program. If people have graduated and they get a bachelor’s degree, we will know that the program is working long term because schools will have more educated teachers to help students learn the right information.

 

9. The teachers that we send from Teachers Without Borders will help short term, but they can’t stay there forever, so new teachers can come in every 5 years. We can gradually send less teachers because the adults that are being trained as teachers in Haiti can teach the other unqualified teachers at the college once they finish being trained. Once there are enough teachers we will not send any more. We expect to send no more teachers in 20 years because there will be enough students graduated from the program that will teach at the college.

 

10. If the program is successful, the U.N. can discuss bringing it to other countries that have poor literacy rates such as Uganda.

Resolution GA-07 March 28

Re.:                             Fixing Healthcare in Libya
Submitted to:             General Assembly

Submitted by:            Libya

Date:                           March 28, 2019

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

Noting with deep concern that Libya does not have a stable Heath Care system. I am convinced that if Libya gives equal rights for women to go to school that their Health Care system will improve because 50.7% of all people that are in medical school are women and 82.4% of all physicians in the US are women, and

Worried that, I am worried if Libya has an outbreak of some sort of sickness that it will lose so much of its population just because it doesn’t have a stable heath care, and

Concerned: I am concerned that Libya’s population will shrink, and their economy will get weaker. All because they don’t have a stable Health Care System, and

Aware: I am aware that it will be hard to put a school in every city but if we take the cities with the most population and ones that have the least stable school system, we can make Libya a stronger country,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nation will form a program called HLHC (Help Libya’s Health Care)
   
   
2. HLHC will cost about $25 million to build one school. My plan is to put the schools in the most populated area and the ones with the worst school system. Then if we put the schools in the most populated areas kids can commute in easier and it will hopefully be less far to travel.
   
   
3. With all the cost the United Nations will help donated about $250 million to build 10 schools. 
   
   
4. Also, Libya is suffering from political unrest and they currently don’t have electric in many cities. I need help from the United Nations to fund to help get their electric so we can run the schools.
