Repeal of Civilian rights post war.

Recognizing that the past resolution is impractical, but that their needs to be some sort of rules/rights that Civilian in an occupied zone can count on.

Occupation is defined as A foreign military that gains control of another country through diplomacy or war and seeks to impose it’s rule on that country.

Immediately after the end of official hostilities( I.E. The opposing military surrenders or is completely destroyed), The occupying Government will follow these Ideals

1. You as the occupying force have every right to protect your soldiers and or aid workers.

2. All Civilian personnel have a right to respect and dignity that is current with the respect and dignity you give your own citizens. Except where this would cause harm to your soldiers and or the citizens of the occupied country.

3. The occupying force has the right to search all personnel and the right to set up roadblocks. All searches will use the buddy system where two soldiers will search one person. (I.E one providing cover and supervising the search and one doing the search) All personnel being searched will be shown dignity and respect in accordance with your own nation’s standards.

4. Understanding that no building is safe with out it being searched, the occupying force has every right to search suspect buildings or homes. The occupying force can not take anything from the premise being searched unless it represents a clear and present danger to the occupying force or to the civilians being occupied.

5. The occupying force must rebuild to the extent of what their own infrastructure is supported by the government. (I.E if your nation has total devotion to god and you do not believe in hospitals then you are not responsible for building hospitals during your occupation. This concept also works for churches, schools, and any other buildings)

6. Relocation is allowed as long the personnel being relocated are allowed to take personnel items and their family if they so chose. Logistical support must be provide to allow a smooth relocation.

7. Any civilian who takes up arms or is facilitating in a combat actions verse the occupying force is consider a combatant and is subject to the rules in previous UN resolutions that deal with that issue.

8. All members of the UN who are occupying a country can call on the UN to help provide assistance whether that is militarily, inspection, support, or trained personnel to help in the rebuild.


9. All UN member nations during a occupation on either side have the right to ask the UN to send in inspection teams to ensure all UN resolutions are being followed. The UN as a ruling body have the right to intercede in Occupations that are in breech of these ideals. If the UN steps in with troops on the ground once order is restored then the UN must relinquish the area back to the occupying force and must leave inspection teams who shall make regular reports to the UN regarding conditions and human rights violations until the occupation ends or the occupying force withdraws.

This is a rough resoultion so please submit input. I tried to make it acceptable to all nations in regards to religon or the style their goverment currently uses.

If you don't like something in it then please state why and how you would like to see it changed. I figure that any resoultion in the UN would be submited by one person and then have some changes made so that it would be acceptable by all member countries.

There's practically no chance a repeal will pass anytime soon with the 3:1 positive vote margin that proposal is racking up right now.

I belive that most people just click yes without even thinking of what the Resoultion Acutely says. I hope people see some common sense and help shape a resoultion that is pratical

This is a good proposal, however, as our colleague states above...

I'd definitely ask my delegate to support, but you'll likely need to telegram every delegate and ask for endorsements.

Of course it does make life easier when you believe everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

The truth is most people are trying to do what's best for their government, people, and/or the United Nations. I assume that is what you are trying to do as well.

Your proposal doesn’t read like a repeal. It seems like a replacement resolution. That's fine but you will have to make the repeal first.
