After recieving feedback from some delegates on the problems with my previous proposal, i have edited it and submitted the following replacement:
Humanitarian and Relief Aid
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.
Category: Social Justice Strength: Mild Proposed by: Pantherai
Description: The Members Nations of the World Assembly,
NOTING the recent repeal of WA Resolution 5: Coordinating Relief Aid;
BELIEVING that new international legislation is required in order to administrate humanitarian relief aid to World Assembly Members that need it;
FURTHER NOTING the existence of many Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that provide relief aid throughout the nations of the World Assembly;
FURTHER BELIEVING that, although efforts should be made to enhance communication of such NGOs, they should remain completely independent of the World Assembly in funding and co-ordination;
HEREBY
1. MANDATES that, in a major disaster, responsibility of the co-ordination of relief aid, and any NGOs that may provide it, is vested in the government(s) of the nation(s) in which the emergency has arisen;
2. ESTABLISHES 'The World Assembly Humanitarian Corps' (WAHC), a body that shall provide supplementary relief aid, in a major disaster, to nations that:
a. does not receive sufficient aid from NGOs, and
b. does not have the resources to provide sufficient relief aid themselves;
3.1. MANDATES that the WAHC shall be funded by the WA General Fund;
4 DEFINES the responsibilities of WAHC as:
a) to provide funds, food and other resources as well as humanitarian aid workers in member nations affected by a major disaster,
b) to mediate between nations who suffer from a common major disaster when, for what ever reason, the governments of said nations are unable to effectively communicate with one another, and
c) to provide regular conferences between willing NGO workers, as well as WAHC humanitarian aid workers, to share tactics and training aswell as to help establish better communication between individual NGOs;
5. DEFINES a major disaster as any event, natural or through the actions of mankind, which threatens lives, livelihoods, homes or well-being of any persons on a major scale;
6.1. ENCOURAGES Member Nations to:
a) plan ahead for the possibility of major disasters, and
b) take measures to reduce the possibility of disasters occurring through the actions of mankind;
6.2. FURTHER ENCOURAGES Member Nations to work with non-WA Nations just as they would with WA Nations when they suffer from a common major disaster.
