I received a telegram from a UN regular saying I should have the draft below checked because it may go against the creating committee rules as without the committee (accreditation team), I don't have a proposal. I am also wondering if it is ok under the optionality rule.

I just want to make sure its legal before I submit it, rather than discover afterward the hard way I shouldn't have :).

ADCAP

Aged/Disabled Care Accreditation Program

Noting many poorer nations are struggling, due to lack of funds, to provide adequate in home or in facility care to their old aged/disabled citizens whom are in need of assistance.

In addition, noting many richer nations would be willing to donate money to assist in providing such care but are reluctant due to the possibility of corruption and the money not being spent for the purpose it was originally given.

Forms the aged/disabled care accreditation team to collect donations from willing nations, distribute these funds to poorer nations who request it on a needs basis, and monitor the money is spent only on aspects of aged and disabled care.

The basic standards of which should include, but are not limited to
Adequate housing
Nutritious and adequate food
Nursing care if needed
Transport if needed
Necessary equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, hoists, ramps ect) if needed
Medicines
Modifications of homes if needed

Administration and running costs of facilities and services may be included but nations must be able to account for how this money was spent.

The accreditation team will negotiate an agreement with each receiving nation to decide on a basic standards level to suit that nations needs, while ensuring aged/disabled citizens receive the care and attention they require to live their lives as independently and contributively as possible.

The team will also work with each receiving nation to ensure their own culture and/or religion is not infringed upon by meeting the basic standards anymore than is absolutely necessary.

The accreditation team will inspect in home services and aged/disabled care facilities in receiver nations 12 months after originally giving the primary donation to ensure the basic standards previously agreed upon are being met, and funds are being spent to benefit the aged/disabled citizens using the facility/service and not the individuals/government running them.

If all standards are being met the receiver nation will be noted as accredited, and may receive ongoing donations on a regular basis to maintain and/or improve those standards.

The accreditation team, to ensure ongoing compliance with the agreed terms of receiving donation money, will then carry out irregular surprise inspections.

If the agreed upon standards are not being met after the first inspection, the accreditation team may grant an extension of time for the nation concerned to comply.

If the receiver nation continues to refuse to meet the agreed upon standards and/or abuses the program, the accreditation team has the authority to suspend or refuse any further funding to that nation.

Any receiver nation may withdraw from the Aged/Disabled Accreditation Program at any time without penalty if they no longer want or need donation money.
