Resolution GA-01 May 2
Re.: HIV/AIDS in Chile and Malaysia
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Chile, Malaysia

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
Alarmed that about 100,000 Chileans are estimated to have the HIV virus (ChileToday.cl), and
Worried that the number of deaths in Chile related to AIDS has increased by 34% since 2010, according to UNAIDS.org, and
Whereas the adult prevalence rate for HIV and AIDS is 40%-50%, and
Whereas from 2010 to 2017 the receiving rates of HIV aids went from 16% to 45%, and
Noting with concern that in a recent survey, over half of Malaysian doctors said that they discriminate against their patients with HIV as stated in Nam Aidsmap,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- It is hereby resolved that the number of medical ambulances shall be 2500 vehicles in Malaysia Chile. These will treat HIV and AIDS victims over the first year until the counter kit’s expiration date has been reached, in which time its success will be evaluated, and it will be determined if the program shall spread to other countries or if it should be discontinued.
- Each staff member will be paid $10 and will earn the listed amount per hour. Volunteers are also accepted and will not be paid. We will need 5,000 workers for Malaysia, and 10,000 workers in Chile. In total, this will cost $50,000 and $100,000 for the country per hour of active work from paid workers either hired from the country which the clinics, ambulances, and other places which may need workers.

Resolution GA-03 May 2
Re.: Poverty/Low Economy
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Iran
Date: May 2, 2019
Whereas Article 23 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.”, 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 45.5 to 55% of Iran is under the poverty line, and
Astonishingly, as of 2010, Iran’s Department of Statistics stated that there are between 60,000 and 200,000 street children living in Iran. There are roughly 10 million people live in absolute poverty, and
Shockingly, 28.4% of the country (roughly 23,288,000 people) are unemployed in Iran,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- Iran will have jobs of mining turquoise, refining turquoise, and selling turquoise to Iran’s trading partners. We will need to provide equipment for the turquoise miners.
- We will start a fund to make 1,000 to 5,000 dollars to ship approximately 3000 pounds of turquoise to the U.S at a time. The fund will be called the D.I.P (Defeat Iranian Poverty) project. The first donations will be made by the top 10 richest countries in the world, which are Monaco, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Qatar, Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, and San Marino. Donations will start at 1 shipment ($1,000 to $5,000). We will create an online store so that people can buy the turquoise. The shipments will be sold to people who have bought the turquoise online. The profits will return to Iran where they will be distributed to the people who work in the turquoise business. A small part of the profits will go to the fund required to ship across the ocean, and some will go to advertisement across the U.S and Iran. The shop online will sell the turquoise for 500 dollars per 2,000 carats (approximately 1 pound).
- If poverty rates are lowered by 10% after 1 year, we will move down to the top 20 countries, ask them to make a donation every 2 months along with the top 10 richest countries, and try selling to other countries. If it is unsuccessful after 1 year, we will ask for more money from the top ten countries to support Iran. If this is successful after 4 years, the D.I.P project will now rely on only itself to create, produce, and ship the turquoise and will no longer require donations. If it is unsuccessful after four years, Iran will terminate the project.
- This project will hopefully be successful for Iran in the long run, moving the poverty line to 20% to 35% instead of 45% to 55%.
Resolution GA-05 May 2
Re.: Tuberculosis Treatment in North Korea
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: North Korea
Date: May 2, 2019
Whereas Article 23 section 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.”, 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
This condemns, “forty percent of the population, about 24 million people, live below the poverty line. Most workers earn $2 to $3 per month. The standard of living has deteriorated to extreme levels of deprivation while the average life expectancy has fallen by five years since early in the 1980s”Saddened that, “World Health Organization estimates for tuberculosis deaths in North Korea are on the rise: from a low of 42 deaths per 100,000 people in 2015, to 63 in 2017” (North Korea’s Silent Health Crisis), and
Recognizing that, “[North Korea] declares that healthcare is free, but some residents are denied medical treatment unless they can pay the prices for medicine” (Guadiana, 1) and
Noting with regret limited access and funding for medicine leads to a health crisis and contributes to poverty in North Korea,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- The United Nation will start the “North Korean Tuberculosis Project” which will help the impoverished people of North Korea get tuberculosis vaccinations and prevent an epidemic.
- We will set up 100 clinics around major cities in North Korea so more people have access to it. 25 of these clinics in the most populated areas will be equipped with emergency vehicles to distribute emergency vaccinations. This will cost around $2,700,000 USD.
- It will cost $22,500,000 for the vaccines to be bought. They will be given free of cost seeing the low income of the citizens who are prone to the virus.
- North Korea will allow the entry of volunteers into the country and make sure they are not harmed. We are expecting 100 doctors, 200 pharmacists and 25 ambulance drivers, one doctor and two pharmacists per clinic, one driver for the clinics with the emergency vehicles.
- On every other Wednesday, doctors/pharmacists will teach a class at the clinics free of charge on general hygiene and wellness and stopping the spread of viruses and diseases.
- It will cost $27,000,000 dollars to create and operate this project, including extra for daily needs of volunteers, bills, gas for vehicles, etc. This is for one year of the project.
- We will raise the wages of the 10 nations that pay the highest amount of dues by 1%. We will also raise the dues of the 10 wealthiest wages by 5%. This will account for $21,641,000 of the funds.
- Any countries or private organizations that would provide vaccines, volunteer doctors/pharmacists, and other medical supplies are encouraged to do so.
- We are expecting private donors/organizations to contribute $3,359,000 to our funds.
- We are expecting 75% of the volunteers to come from private organizations and countries.
- If the rate of tuberculosis has gone down by 25% in the first year, we will continue the project for another four years. If it had gone down by an amount smaller than 25% the project will be terminated.
