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 2 section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.”, 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

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

Astounded by the statistic that 80% of all children living in Jamaica will or have experienced physiological or physical abuse as a form of discipline. Similar amount of children have witnessed a violent crime in their home, and

Bewildered after reading about how while children are at home, school, correctional facilities, or under state care they are illegally corporeally punished, and  

Disturbed by the need to add six new members to the investigators each year because of the amount of abuses the child investigators take on, and

Concerned after learning about the 4,000 children yearly that need physiological counseling following a traumatic home experience, and

Horrified after hearing that every eight out of ten children (ranging from ages 2-14) are violently disciplined,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. A company will be established, Jamaica’s Child Guardians (JCG), which hires employees that have an educated background. These employees will be secretly placed in schools, neighborhoods, and even works where children are heavily populated. Whenever they witness signs of abuse or mistreatment in the child they will study the child and their home life and if anything severe or illegal is proved, they will take action. These trained professionals will be able to contact the authorities to arrest the elder abusing the child.
   1. The Headquarters of JCG will send out a team of 377 agents to the St. Ann state in Jamaica.
      • Average one agent per every 200 children
      • Annual salary of a JCG Agent will be J$860k per year
      • This salary will vary depending on the amount of children the agents assist or ignore.
2. No child should finish out their school year without a lesson going over abuse. This should bring awareness to what abuse is, how to tell when you are getting abused, and how to get away from an abusive situation.
   • The lesson plan should be graded
   • The lesson plan should go into specifics
     • How to contact authorities when in an abusive situation,
     • How abuse affects the child throughout its life,
     • How to tell your in an abusive situation,
     • How to prevent yourself from being in an abusive situation
3. Every child and family should be required for a twice annual house check by the government or JCG agents. These check in will not be scheduled but rather a “surprise” visit to inspect the house and the family treatment. If anything illegal or unusual is witnessed then the agent or government employee has the right to arrest or call the authorities.
4. Limit the amount of alcohol or drugs for a parent to consume compared to those who are childless or single.
5. Lengthen the sentence of abusive parents to 10 years and a fine of J$10,000.  

Budget:

• $15,500,000
  • To build
  • To fund
  • To pay the agents
  • To continue the JCG program

Funding of the Budget:

6. Anytime a security system is sold by Best Buy 7% of the proceeds will go to the JCG.
7. For every bike light sold by Amazon $1 will be donated to JCG.
8. An Apple Store game will be created free with a $.99 charge to unlock the game. This charge will be donated entirely to JCG.
9. Located on popular cereal boxes will be an advertisement and link leading to a website where you can donate to JCG.
10. When ordering food from McDonald’s you will have the option to round up your price and the remaining cents will go to the JCG.

Evaluation:

1. Due to the amount of time it will take to hire agents for the JCG and get the program up and running, this program should be ready by the middle of 2022.
2. Every year the JCG program will be evaluated and assessed on whether it should stay or be disassembled. The evaluation will include
   1. Has the amount of abuses decreased?
   2. Do children feel safer?
   3. Are more people becoming more open about abuses they have experienced in the past?
   4. Have the agents felt a lessening in reports or an increase?
3. Once the evaluation and assessment is completed with an exceptional improvement this program will be expanded to the United States of America, a country also suffering will child abuse and mortality.
4. Eventually parts of every continent should have a form of the JCG helping children and improving the lives of the young.

Resolution GA-02 May 12 
Re.:                             Hunger in Niger                
Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Singapore
Date:                           May 12, 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 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

Saddened that 8.9% of people go to bed hungry, and

Astonished that the world is not on track to meet the Sustainable Development Goal, and

Angered that global hunger has risen significantly due to COVID-19, and

Disturbed that starvation is the cause of 45% of deaths in children,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. A temporary solution to world hunger is to hand out nutrition packs in bulk to the people. Another temporary solution would be a deal with Target (or any other large scale grocery) and have them donate a box of non-spoiling food for every set number of boxes sold.
   
   
2. A long term solution to the hunger issue is teaching people in farmable areas how to farm and irrigate land. This part of the solution includes back-yard gardens to teaching farmers without water how to irrigate.
   
   
3. My budget would be about $4.3 million USD. This may seem like a lot or a little depending on how you look at it, but since we would have a donation system in place, we would have to buy less food then we would if we didn’t have a system in place. The budget breakdown would look like this:
                    – Workers: $500,000 USD. (We would need workers to deliver the food, teachers to teach. people how to farm, and people to evaluate the work being done. I estimate that we would need about 600 workers.)  
                     – Food: $2 million USD. (Food would be the main part of the budget, as the temporary solution requires food to give to people.)
                     – Farming supplies: $500,000 USD. (We would need to give basic farming supplies for the permanent solution, such as hoes, seeds, etc.)
                     – Reserve: $300,000 USD.
   
   
4. Evaluation for the temporary solution would happen when food is delivered to the people who need it, so anywhere from one to three months. Evaluation for the permanent solution would happen on a yearly basis, preferably during the region’s season of harvest. This would happen for about three years.
   
   A way of evaluation that doesn’t require any people is to watch world hunger distribution charts. It is purely statistical and may not reflect Niger’s hunger problems in their entirety but would be an overall measure for if hunger is going down in that region. For example, if a region has about 60% of the population as hungry, we can see if the measures on working overall based on if the data goes up to 70%, stays at 60%, or drops to 50%.

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 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

Horrified that at least 800,000 innocent civilians have died from direct war violence in Afghanistan and even more have been injured, and

Shocked that 3.7 million school-aged children are not able to attend school, and

Worried that every 60 in 1,000 children die before there 5th birthday,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
Provide refuge for those who are stuck “in the middle”. 

This project will be called the Afghanistan Refugee Assistance Project (ARAP). It will give the innocent people living in the warzone of Afghanistan a place where they can have a fresh start at life and learn how to live, work, and learn.

1. We will first calculate the number of people who need assistance. We will measure this in square kilometers.
2. Next we will calculate how much land we will need for all the people. The population density will be 90 people per square kilometer.
3. We will then find land find in an eligible European country who would like to either sell or donate land.
4. Then, we will hire doctors, police, and teachers to work for the people.
5. Then, we will deliver all the supplies like food, water, building supplies, medicine, entertainment, ect. We will then set up these homes in a city-block shape. Each home will have all supplies necessary for survival along with some entertainment items like balls, beds, board games, toys, etc. With these homes we will also set up some parks, storage facilities, hospitals, schools, police stations, and stores. The land will need to be completely ready for people to live there.
6. After that, we will start to ship the workers and people over to the newly acquired land via plane, helicopter, boat, and car. Upon arrival, each family will be designed a home, be given medical treatment, and receive vaccines.
7. Next, we will establish ways people can work for money so they can earn money to buy themselves accessories and things that people want. Some of these things include jewelry, toys and games, furniture, art, etc. We will also
8. Next, we will continue to deliver supplies the people every two weeks unless supplies are needed earlier.
9. Lastly, we will start to release the refugees out into the world after two years. They will be allowed to stay in the homes we provided for them until they can fully support themselves in the real world. People will be released in groups of ten, starting with families with young children.
