Space Affairs Committee
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: The Wandering Nomads 2

Description:
This proposal calls for the formation for a committee to regulate trade, problems, transportation, communication, and exploration between different nations, planets, or galaxies.

-In the category of trade, the S.A.C. will record the facts (trading companies, amount of goods traded, what goods were traded, and the times of each flight) of the trade for future note. The trade of military weapons or any dangerous materials or goods will have more precautions and records. Private trading will be also recorded by whatever transportation service was used, then, sent to the S.A.C. (ex. United Nations Parcel Service)

-In case of problems or disagreements, this committee would become the mediator, which means it will listen to both sides and try to come up with a mutual agreement, basically a peace maker.

-In the category of transportation, the S.A.C. will create a public transportation system. It would be known as Space Transportation Services (S.T.S). It would record and manage all shuttle flights throughout space, with different divisions in each galaxy.

-In the category of communication, this committee will record the use and renovations of satellites of the phone and internet companies.

-In the category of exploration, this committee will provide maps and other useful tools to help explorers. Also, it would help countries or private groups who are interested in exploration by providing information from previous exploration missions to help in their exploration attempt.

Please! Endorse my proposal. It would create a safer, more productive inter-galactic world.

No.

No one cares.

Something like this could be done, but it needs a LOT of work.

First of all, you haven't said what the S.A.C. is. (I assume the Space Affairs Committee?)

You also need a preamble.

And we don't need a UN-wide transportation system. Leave it to national or private systems, please.

Putting it into legislative style would be nice. (CREATES, MANDATES, REQUIRES, DESIGNATES, etc.)

And this might violate the rules of making a committee and nothing else. You probably want a few hard-and-fast rules, right of way, etc.

A few problems:

1. You should always keep in mind that most nations do not belong to the UN, and your legislation cannot apply to them.

2. Creating international "public services" to compete with private companies is a bad idea. You will never get the capitalist nations to agree with you.

3. Before creating the SAC, you should give arguments for why it is needed. If you look at past resolutions, the recent ones all have it.

4. You will have a much better chance if you actually debate the text here before submitting. There is a lot of accumulated experience in jolt. ;)

Space is such an expensive and unpredictable undertaking that the Empire of Dougotopolis supports the claim that the United Nations has no authorization to take part in any actions located there.

Don't forget that some nations have already developed into space. For some, it is no longer unpredictable. However, we empathize with Dougtopolis's view that space is a very dangerous frontier for us less-advanced nations who have not yet journeyed to the vast area of Space.

-In the category of communication, this committee will record the use and renovations of satellites of the phone and internet companies.

Along with what everyone else says here, this opens the door to "official" monitoring of all communications by any person using said satellites. As a sovereign state within the UN, I do not want an unaccountable committee to be able to record and utilize information on the private interactions of my country's citizens. This is an unwarranted and unnecessary intrusion on public privacy, and cannot be supported.

May I also point out that this resolution provides no guidelines for how the SAC is to be chosen or funded. They can't do anything without money.

public privacy
I know what you mean, but :p

I think committees can be automatically funded from the UN funding pool.

I think the affairs of space are none of anyone's business, let alone the UNs. If extraterrestrials want to mess around on their...wives?...spouses?...smizmars?...what business is it of one planet's deliberative body?

Except that the NSUN is not "one planet's deliberative body". There are member nations everywhere, and they are equally covered by this resolution.

Public Privacy I know what you mean, but :p


I did say that, didn't I...:rolleyes:

I guess I should have said "This is an unwarranted and unnecessary intrusion on individual privacy, and cannot be supported."

how about a free trade agreement? Would that be easier and simpler and more widly accepted?

Hello there,
I hope you don’t mind me picking through your proposal:Description:
This proposal calls for the formation for a committee to regulate trade, problems, transportation, communication, and exploration between different nations, planets, or galaxies. I suspect this will infringe on the United Nations Space Consortium (a previous resolution). In fact I know it will, since most of those were dealt with the UNSC, and I was a founding member.-In the category of trade, the S.A.C. will record the facts (trading companies, amount of goods traded, what goods were traded, and the times of each flight) of the trade for future note. The trade of military weapons or any dangerous materials or goods will have more precautions and records. Private trading will be also recorded by whatever transportation service was used, then, sent to the S.A.C. (ex. United Nations Parcel Service) I’m cautious about the creation of services – they cost money.-In case of problems or disagreements, this committee would become the mediator, which means it will listen to both sides and try to come up with a mutual agreement, basically a peace maker. This will require metagaming I believe, which was legal back in the UNSC days, but is frowned upon today.[/quote]-In the category of transportation, the S.A.C. will create a public transportation system. It would be known as Space Transportation Services (S.T.S). It would record and manage all shuttle flights throughout space, with different divisions in each galaxy.[/quote]Again, I am concerned about the cost.-In the category of communication, this committee will record the use and renovations of satellites of the phone and internet companies. I think this fails to address other issues which are more important.-In the category of exploration, this committee will provide maps and other useful tools to help explorers. Also, it would help countries or private groups who are interested in exploration by providing information from previous exploration missions to help in their exploration attempt.Sounds fair enough, although why an explorer will want to explore the explored is beyond me.Please! Endorse my proposal. It would create a safer, more productive inter-galactic world. Sadly, I can’t recommend to my delegate endorsement of this proposal, but we wish you well for future efforts.
