Submitted to:            General Assembly
Submitted by:            Iceland
Date:                           May 12, 2022
Whereas Sustainable Development Goal #5 is Gender Equality, and

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 16 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage, and at its dissolution.”, and

Whereas Article 16 section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.”, and
Whereas Article 16 section 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state.”, and

Infuriated that globally, approximately 12 million girls are forced into marriage before the age of 18 each year and we are

Shocked that in these marriages, 1 in 3 women are subjected to physical or sexual violence by their partner, and

Dismayed that this violence often leads to early pregnancies which expose girls to the risk of complications in pregnancy and childbirth and we are

Realizing that these marriages, despite everything these girls go through, affect their ability to actively engage or even attend school, which therefore deprives the wife of economic independence from their ‘spouse,’ and the early pregnancies and birth complications occurring are the leading cause of death among adolescent girls.

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nations will start a program called Freeing Forced Marriages (FFM) which will focus on preventing forced child marriages in Bangladesh.
   
2. We will start with building one boarding school in Dhaka. This school will be a safe place for young girls to learn how to be in the workforce and they will learn job skills. 
   
3. We will have an awareness campaign, so families know this is a safe option for their girls.
   
4. If girls already are married off and can escape these marriages, we will provide a safe shelter and resources for them in this school.
   
5. This school will not cost anything to the families of the girls.
   
6. Funding: Harry Styles has agreed that his next world tour will raise money for this cause. For each ticket sold, 20% of the proceeds will go to FFM. Additionally, he will perform a world concert with Madonna and Pink titled “Women’s Empowerment Concert.” All of the money made from this concert, including merchandise and ticket sales, will go directly to the FFM.
   
7. Timeline: Freeing Forced Marriages will last ten years. If after this time forced child marriages have been reduced by 10%, it can be renewed for another ten years. If it is renewed, it will transfer over to Chad.
   
8. Evaluation: We will evaluate the amount of females in the work force and the forced child marriage rate.

Emphasizing that in the United States of America that 1 in 6 adults in Generation Z consider themselves LGBTQ, and

Having Considered that 90% of LGBTQ students hear anti-LGBTQ comments at schools,

1. The United Nations will begin a program called Sexuality Equality Act (SEA) which is designed to get rid of discrimination against the LGBTQ community.
   
2. This program will be operated in Argentina and Brazil. We have chosen to operate here because these countries are known to be discriminatory against the LGBTQ community, and we want to change that.
   
3. We will need $19.8 million dollars to help fund and pay for this program, and we are planning to obtain that amount by raising dues on the 10 nations that pay the highest amount of dues by 1%.
   
4. This money will be used to purchase textbooks, paying for college students to give talks and speeches, paying for, and equipping investigators to inspect companies for anti-LGBTQ practices. If a company is found to have anti-LGBTQ practices in place they will be fined a portion of their income in amounts ranging from 0.5%-50% depending on if they enact the changes we recommend and how many times we have to tell them to change their policies.
   
5. This program will operate for 3 years. If discrimination drops by 5% by the end of the program, it can be renewed and expanded to other countries for another 3 years.

Submitted by:            Brazil
Date:                           May 12, 2022
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 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

Appalled that millions of birds, tropical fish, turtles, and mammals are being plucked from the wild and traded domestically or exported to the U.S, EU, China, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Many are endangered, and

Shocked that while some animals are seized, and some low-level smugglers are caught, the organizers of this global criminal enterprise are rarely brought to justice, and

Realizing that this trafficking crisis needs urgent action, as the trade not only harms wildlife but also decimates ecosystems and puts public health at risk. It also is strongly linked to invasive species around the globe which damages Earth’s ecosystems,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

1. The United Nations will initiate a program called PPT (Preventing Pet Trade) in Brazil.
   
2. PPT will educate schools around the globe to address the issues of the pet trade and wildlife trafficking and how to prevent it. PPT will also cooperate with other NGOs. (non-governmental organizations.)
   
3. To fund this operation we will inquire for a 2 million dollar donations from a collaboration made of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Jane Goodall, and the Irwin family.
   
4. PPT will last for five years. After this precaution, if the pet trade and wildlife trafficking rates worsen or stay the same, PPT will take more ambitious precautions to stop wildlife trafficking and the pet trade for good.
