Please consider this proposal:

Description: UN Resolution #2: Scientific Freedom (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution is against the concept of national sovereignty that the UN should protect, and it is therefore not the business of the UN to intervene in this matter.

Certain types of research (i.e. those deemed immoral or unsafe) were banned in my nation, for good reason, yet I now find that by joining the UN (whose main cause I believe in), that I am now expected to condone practices that I find to be morally corrupt.

I am all for the condemning certain practices through the UN, but forcing all Member States to agree to every scientific practice in existence opens the door for any crackpot to carry out horrific acts in the name of science.

I implore you to take this proposal seriously and repeal this dangerous resolution.

Yours

An arguement could be made that if you start saying what science can be researched and what can't, you put intolerable limits on freedom of expression. Science should not be limited by the government, because it puts the government in total control of people's lives. In a fictional world a man named Galileo (whose name might not have been spelt like that) discovered a lot, but the then Church did not want to lose it's power over the people, so they killed him.

Science should be free.

Argument: free scientific freedom
Our kingdom of Teapacks wants to offer a subscription of committee in the name of the UN members that will inspect on the sciencetific range of each country ,and will recommand line of steps and acts ,that will take a place follow an irregular events.
The committee's duty will be to follow each of the countries, and she will notice the UN on every deviation from the UN rules.
We will have conventions when we will consult together , but it says we have to keep the UN convention.
Science can be dangerous ,but if we want to devlop our world ,then science is necessity ,of course it will be with an international control.
The question is not if science is dangrous , but how we can do to make science safe to the world, and to be confirm.
No doubt that if will be consequential , then science on each contry wouldn't harm another contry.
We suggest that a country that will hurt another country or explo her resources of money and science for a bad use, will take out of the game immeadatly.
We'll thank you if you will promote this suggestion on our next meeting.
