UN Resolution: Co-existence of Environment and Uranium Mining Act
Environmental
Industry Affected: Uranium Mining

Problem: Today's forests and animals, including the national animals of some UN members are on the brink of extinction because of the industrilization of most countries, especially in the mining industry. These animals pose no threat to humans in the quest for making profit but their habitats are being destroyed needlessly when a co-existence between animals and Uranium mining can be found.

ACKNOWLEDGES that every UN member has the right to mine for uranium and other minerals in their countries for a profit.

AFFIRMS that Uranium mining does create jobs and boosts the economy which is benefitcal for the people of most UN members.

REMINDS UN members that Uranium mining however causes health problems for its workers and is a dangerous job for most people, and takes away the beautiful scenery of these nations.

This proposal states

ARTICLE 1:

National Forests are being destroyed needlessly for economical profits from some UN members and their national animals are brought to extinction. A happy medium can be brought between the two, and create profit for both industries and save the National animal of all nations.

(A) Lush forests, the site of most Uranium mining can have a devide.

(B) This devide would seperate the forest into a precentage for both mining of Uranium and for the animals of that nation.

(C) The devide at its most industrial-friendly method would kept at a minimum 15% of all natural forests preserved and leave the rest to Industry, Uranium mining mostly.

(D) The devide at its most environment-friendly method could keep at a minimum 85% of the natural forests preserved for their people and the animals, while keeping 15% of the forest for Industrial mining.

Article 2:

ACKNOWLEDGES the fact that nations might need time to confirm to this proposal. Also, nations can also opt out of this proposal, either industrial friendly or environment friendly, but they have to go to a committee made up of both pro-industry and pro-environment.

(A) Creation of the Environment Committee maintaining four seats for Industrial-friendly nations, four-seats for Environment-friendly nations, and one undecided seat.

(B) To accept Article 1, every nation is allowed 20 years to arraign their nations' economy to this proposal requirements with regards to Uranium Mining and the environment. Once past 20 years, nations have to present a form to the 'Environment Committee' requesting more time, and only economy collapse, natural disaster, and war will be acknowledged.

(C) To opt out of the act proposed, industrial-nations need to build at least one 'large' park for their animals and people. Environmental nations, have to each year review their nation's opposition to Uranium mining in national forests and decide weather to allow mining each and every year.

Conclusion:

This proposal affects Uranium mining and Uranium Mining only because it is the only one that affects the national forests of every nation. This proposal is extremely long but tries to acknowledge both the environmental and industrial aspects with regards to the animals and the forests of all member states. If approved, it will allow the co-existence of both national forests and their wild animals and the continued economic advantage of Uranium Mining.

Okay, I will withdraw the resolution. It sounded correct when I was writing it, but it doesn't seem too now as I have reread it.

I think it's probably illegal:
1. the committee structure is MetaGaming;
2. you have an opt-out clause.

Do you really think we need a UN resolution to help us decide a daily issue?

*bump* (Because the other one is incomplete)

And, huh? Uranium mining has nothing to do with national forests. Since when does forests hide uranium? Uranium is inside of mountains, not forests!

He's taking it from a daily issue which presents this scenario.
