you may need to define further whats classed as 'taxes' but otherwise its got my support.
this also dovetails nicely with the global food act as well so i doubt you'll have many people opposing this.

The food part is already covered by GFDA.

i think medicine is covered elsewhere too... and i could be wrong, but i think the whole jist of humanitarian aid is also covered in another resoluotion. but as i said, i could be wrong

i believe that UNR #33 : no embargoe on medicine, covers this issue as well.
Against, for reasons of redundancy.

may i ask, how does that work? how can something be redundant if it isnt even implemented?

Were it to be implemented, it would be redundant. Thus it will not be implemented.

May I ask why are we proposing a resolution on poverty? Shouldn't therealready be some resolution? It worries me that the UN has forgot this improtant idea?
