The proposal for Youth Court System has now been made into a proposal but it needs support to become a resolution. It is extremely important for legal minor rights and their standing within their societies. If you want to support the proposal;

have to be a UN delegate to vote for a proposal. UN members can vote when it becomes a resolution. If it does!

Just how many threads are you going to start on this thing? It's better to link directly to the proposal, as its position will change: http://nationstates.net/page=UN_proposal1/match=youth.

Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Assatru
Description: UN Resolution
Creating Youth Court System
Human Right
Significant

This resolution is mindful of the presence of youth crime in most nations.

MINDFUL of the failure of legal systems to adequately address this issue.

DETERMINED that minors are not exposed to the criminal underworld in prisons, and given adequate opportunities for reform. Through the use of any educational and rehabilitation facilities set aside for minors alone through the governments themselves or through the "Youth Crime Prevention Fund".

Acknowledges that youth crime should be recognised as an issue of concern for Nation governments and should be addressed.

URGES member states to ensure the creation of a new criminal court system for minors.

URGES member states to provide correctional facilities for minors so they can be rehabilitated back into society and provide the means and resources for minors to be educated as necessary.

ENDORSES member states rights to determine what sentences should be passed down to their legal minors but recommends the use of correctional facilities as a primary option for youths as proposed in this resolution so minors can have the greatest chance of reintegration into society.

MINDFUL that violent crimes such as but not confined to the ones listed here, murder, robbery, hostage taking, terrorism, rape, torture, arson, violent assault or violent confrontation with the government, or repeated offenders may still entail a jail term as decided by the judicial system of member states.

Seeing you've dropped the ban on capital punishment, I can get behind this.

Thank you. And sorry about creating too many threads. The Proposal accident one and adding to the Rough Draft one. But, I felt that now that both have been solved that it would be best for the Proposal and voting to be at the UN for it to be out in the open by itself.

Yes, I have dropped the issue of capital punishment but I still have Youth Crime Prevention Fund.

Yes, that's fine with me. If other nations want to pay for my prisons, good luck to 'em.

Although you fail to state how this will be funded in the proposal.

Why should nations who have no youth crime be forced to participate in a fund for other nations? It should be down to nations to fund educational facilities as needed - some need not spend a penny, some need to learn what education actually is.

You know, I wish I had patented that or something.
