The questions involve the resolution "UN Educational Aid Act".
1) I was wondering about the UNEAF commitee. Does it exist? I mean are there nations in charge?
2) Anyway, the resolution mentions a UN legislation that is still in effect and that it defines the financing of educational programs, pointed as a subject of that particular legislation. Now, can someone show me which legislation is it? I can't search inside the UN resolutions throughout history so isn't there anything that can help me find it more...easily?
3) I know it is getting annoying but i have one last question:
Are there any resolutions that are connected with the UN Educational Aid Act and please if you could tell me which ones are they?

re 1: The committee exists, but no nations are in charge. It's the same with all committees in the UN - gnomes manage them which basically appear out of nowhere to sit on the committees.

You could roleplay being a member of a committee, but it would not be binding on the UN.

Other than that I'm sure there is someone on here more knowledgeable than me on this, indeed the author is kicking around somewhere.

1) I was wondering about the UNEAF commitee. Does it exist? I mean are there nations in charge?Of course it "exists" (in NS). Why wouldn't it? [EDIT: Also, what Hirota said.]

3) I know it is getting annoying but i have one last question:
Are there any resolutions that are connected with the UN Educational Aid Act and please if you could tell me which ones are they?If by "connected you mean "related," I don't know of any related resolutions that haven't already been repealed.

To disagree for once, I think in 2) he was referring to the fact clause 6 mentions 'previous legislation still in effect', which, at the time the UNEAA was written, was Resolution #28, Free Education. But that has since been repealed.

There aren't any related resolutions I can think of: maybe look up Education or something similar in the UN Resolution Subject Index on NSwiki (sorry, I don't have a link to hand).

Here's the link to the Index of UN Resolutions.

Thanks to all, you really gave me a hand;). Anyway, i am still wondering about the UNEAF. Isn't there an office or headquarters?

By the way, Quintessence of Dust, if the resolution "Free Education" was repealed, then there has got to be a replacement, no?
Yes, i am sorry, i ment "related".

To disagree for once, I think in 2) he was referring to the fact clause 6 mentions 'previous legislation still in effect', ...Heh. I think you're right. Still early here.

Yes, it's probably somewhere in the UN Headquarters (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/UN_Headquarters). UN Building Management doesn't seem to have assigned it a particular floor yet - and they'd better not try to use the UNEC offices, we shall fight hand and apostrophe to defend them!
By the way, Quintessence of Dust, if the resolution "Free Education" was repealed, then there has got to be a replacement, no?
No. There is no obligation to replace repealed resolutions: that's a silly fiction invented by people who can't think up actual arguments against repeals.

The alternative answer is: yes, and the replacement is Resolution #171.

ok thanks

Free Education #28
(the replacement is UN Educational Aid Act)
If the replacement is #171 then it means that resolution #171 is not related with any other resolutions, no? There are a few other resolutions that may be related with #171, like IT Educational Act but i need to have a look before making any conclusions.

Education For All #3
UN Educational Committee #54

Those resolution have been repealed therefore i am asking if there is a replacement for each.
*By the way, the UNEAF does not seem to exist anywhere....

Ok, I think you missed a line last time.

When a resolution is repealed, it does not have to be replaced. That is absolute, indisputable fact. Sometimes, a repeal is written with the intention of allowing a replacement to pass, such as with UN Biological Weapons Ban --> UN Bio Agent Convention. Sometimes, a repeal is written and a replacement is written anyway, such as with The Rights of Labor Unions --> The Right to Form Unions. Sometimes, a repeal is just a repeal.

Furthermore, the UNEAA replaced UNEC more than anything. Perhaps I misspoke in attributing it as the replacement to Free Education. The fact is, there haven't been replacements to Education for All and Free Education, nor can there be in any meaningful way while the UNEAA is in place, because it declares education funding a national concern.

Very well then, i think i understand. I bet you are all asking why am I asking all these questions.....:rolleyes:
I appreciate your help.
