Description: To stop investing monies held in trust for citizens. Pension Plans or retirement bonds,public insurance monies (e.g. employment, health), funds in federal banks, federal reserves, of the nation in question , whether individually or collectively, in corporations that produce weapons, weapons delivery systems or parts and services for these machines of war. This resolution will hinder the progression of financial profits as the use of military is aquired,thus steering nations towards a diplomatic solution to any conflict that may arise and in turn it will also force countries to stop supporting war for pure financial advantage. All citizens of the nations in question are allowed access to their money without it being tainted with blood.

Proposal deadline is June 4th.

This resolution has no bearing on the Republic of Tekania, given the fact we hold no trusts for our people. But we would vote against it in the sovereign interests, and protection of our collegues in the UN. As this would create an imballance of military power between poorer, weaker UN nations, and their non-UN neighbour nations.
