Emergency Powers Act
Category: International Security
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: We can not hear you

Description: Recognizes: That often governments can not often help people in times of disaster due to long bureaucratic processes that require a legislative body’s ruling.

Determining: That it would be ethical for the ruler of the country to bypass such measures in times of catastrophe.

Giving a country’s ruler emergency powers during a crisis would allow for decisions to be made much more quickly. This would reduce loss of human life during a large storm/ earthquake/ fire/ or war situation.
During these first three instances if the leader of the country or the legislative body of that country most follow this due process to grant emergency powers:
1.) The plea for Emergency powers must be made.
2.) An emergency meeting of the countries legislative body must be brought about to make a simple vote on whether the leader should be granted emergency powers.
2A.) A this vote must be passed by 90% of the representative body or the plea will be rejected. Also the president may refuse Emergency powers granted to him.
2B.) If a leader wants Emergency Powers but cannot obtain them he may make an appeal to the legislative body that will allow a revote if the leader can obtain a 51% approval from the legislative body.

During the time when a countries leader has emergency powers, the leader may make decision without the approval of the countries legislative body regarding ONLY to the current disaster at hand.
If the legislative body agrees by a 2/3 majority that the leader is abusing emergency powers than that leader will have his emergency powers revoked. If a serious infraction is made a U.N. hearing will begin and the countries next in command will rule until a hearing decision is made. If the leader is stripped of his leadership a democratic election will then begin as set by the country’s standards. If the leader is not stripped of his leadership he will return as leader to his country.
A leader may also give up Emergency powers when he/or she feels that they have successfully dealt with the current situation at hand

In conclusion: The Emergency Powers act will save much undue loss of human life if passed. Please think of the citizens, the welfare, and safety of YOUR NATION
Should be Political Stability, and seems utterly bizarre to suggest the UN needs to force nations to do this. Additionally so given, of its own volition, Gruenberg passed its own act of exactly the same name (http://z11.invisionfree.com/Antarctic_Oasis/index.php?showtopic=174) a few weeks ago.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #178
Proposed by: Tryanny

Description: UN Resolution #178: Outlaw Necrophilia (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: ACKNOWLEDGING the basic principle that even when dead people deserve respect

APPLAUDING the effors of the authors of Resolution 178, "Outlaw Necrophilia"

CONCERNED, first that the resolution impinges upon a nation's basic right to govern itself as it sees fit, and second that it forces one group's moral beliefs upon other possibly diagreeing nations.

UNCONVINCED that the illegalization of the act, and the punishment of the perpetrator would deter the crime effectively.

FURTHER, as to the subject of consent, while the corpse can not give consent, once a person has died, by law it becomes more a possession then a being with rights. As such the crime could not be seen as rape, but merely desecration of personal property, a much lesser charge.

HEREBY repeals UN Resolution 178, "Outlaw Necrophilia"

I know this isn't silly or illegal. It's just plain stupid. We'll start off with the first "argument". It's a Nat/Sov argument and can be ignored. Woohoo.

Next, we have a category argument. Oh boo hoo. I don't like the category it's in and I'm going to base my argument on this.

Now, we come to the UNCONVINCED clause. I'm pretty sure that making something illegal is a pretty good deterrent. No, the fact that it is illegal may not entirely stop the crime, but it will make people think twice about committing it. Same with the punishments. A deterrent. Silly argument.

The last argument is, well, arguable. So, from what I see, this is something that has been a waste of time. No, I'm not just saying that because this person is attempting to repeal my resolution.

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.


Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Beavrcreek

Description: The UN,

We are faced with a threat to the pacifist nations that have joined our cause. Many nations, some part of the UN, some not, have believed it necessary to augment their military into a new frontier. Though this is beneficial to the overall advancement of science, it does place many countries that are not as technologically advanced into a severe point of vulnerability. In the past, wars waged on land and sea have been controlled to a point by natural boundaries. Though space is a harsh environment, it provides a new battlefield where any country can be targeted and obliterated.

As the UN, we must seek to help protect those who cannot protect themselves from those who pursue undefended nations.

PROPOSE to construct an International Fleet (IF) which will serve to help prevent wars that may institute the destruction of defenseless nations and drain the global resources.

DEFINES a "weapon" in space as any object which has the present or future intent of the destruction of any person/populace or of any artificial construct.

DEFINES "space" as the area above the atmosphere of a planet whereas a conventional airplane using the air as a medium of travel cannot reach.

ACKNOWLEDGING that space cannot be controlled like air space, such that no country can "own" space, and no space will be considered territory of any nation.

MANDATES that all UN nations contribute to a portion of the IF directly proportional to the population such that the size of the IF exceeds ten times that of two largest military forces in space.

DECLARE war with the IF on any nation who openly attacks a nation without the ability to defend itself.

ENCOURAGES nations to explore space and put ships capable of defending the nation.

MAINTAIN an IF at all times for reasons of safety, even during times of peace.

DECLARES that the no individual or group of countries may command the IF, no matter what percentage of it they house, and that the UN must collectively vote for any action with the IF.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #178
Proposed by: Nekronomikon

Description: UN Resolution #178: Outlaw Necrophilia (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: ARGUMENT FOR REPEAL - This Resolution, outlaws the act of necrophilia in totality. As a consequence, this Resolution prohibits necrophilic activity with corpses, EVEN if the corpse has given FULL CONSENT to be used in necrophilic activity PRIOR TO DEATH (Authorized and Consensual Necrophilia, ACN). With NO inclusion of making an exception of these potential consensual desires within this Resolution, I propose that this Resolution, in it's current state, be repealed, on the grounds of CIVIL OPPRESSION.

FURTHERMORE this Resolution DISCRIMINATES against necrophiles/necrophiliacs, who practice necrophilia with corpses (ACN), on the grounds of their sexual preference - by stating that participants require compulsory counseling and medical care. This Resolution does not accept that different people have different sexual preferences, and is purely based on PREJUDICE, SELF MORALITY, BIGOTRY and RELIGIOUS INDIFFERENCE.

For these reasons, I believe, in it's current state, that the United Nations Resolution #178 Outlaw Necrophilia, be repealed forthwith.

Secretary of State Aerial,
The Holy Empire of Nekronomikon.

Repeal "UN Counterterrorism Initiative"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #168
Proposed by: Liberty Harbor

Description: UN Resolution #168: UN Counterterrorism Initiative (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Description: BELIEVING that terrorists are fighting for freedom in unorthodox tactics. Believing that many are not evil just fighting the wrong way.

DISSAPOINTED that Resolution #168 doesn't address the causes enough. They are breifly mentioned, but not enough.

MANDATES THAT
A - All UN nations must provide at least a temporary safety net to prevent people from falling too deep into poverty. Poverty is one of the main causes of terrorism.

B - All UN nations must try their best to prevent racism against religions in their countries. Many terrorists join groups because they feel that they are being prejudiced against.

C - No UN nation may support terrorism, but provide rehabilitation to terrorists who are good but have been brainwashed beyond belief. NOTE - We are not in any way saying terrorists or terrorism is good. We are saying that some may be able to be rehabilitated.

STATES THAT UN Resolution #168 doesn't address the causes of terrorism enough and should be replaced with a better resolution.

Description: UN Resolution #164: Individual Self-Determination (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Individual determination is wrongful due to the fact that other people must usually perform actions to actually kill the person wishing to die. Even though there is consent from the ill person the performer of the “Execution still” remains in a breach of the “Repeal Legalize Euthanasia Act”. For the U.N. has always agreed the killing no matter of what kind, is wrong. Therefore this act is inherently against the U.N.’s standards of morality.

The Geeko Accord

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Gordon geeko

Description: The goal of this resolution is to create an index system for tarrifs on trade between countries so that there is an equal playing field between all nations. This index will be based to equalize currency exchanges as well as the resources that a certain nation possesses. In creating this index tarrif all nations will be put on a equal playing field in which competition would then thrive while still allowing under developed nations from developing as well as allowing developed nations to continue their successes on a global scale. This will still allow and even improve the competitive global environment of individual businesses. As well by helping out the developing nations get into the globalization game they will not need the funding from other countries that currently occur, this means that developed countries will get to keep more of their resources for their own purposes. The equality of these index values will be updated on a quarterly basis by a panel of judges from each region to eliminate bias and that current environment is correctly portrayed in the index value. This will allow the competitive nature of our society to flurish as well as helping out societies in need of assistance without giving handouts.

You know, before we start seeing the delegates (OMG he spelled it right this time) and the representatives jump out of the windows in total despair I should point two things out. The first is that this resolution had a snowball's chance on the sun from passing. The second is that technically speaking the UN building is not a nation in and of itself, more importantly it's not "their nation" so the bar would still be open.

That's why I, the President of Tzorsland, spend all of my time here. Believe me, it's not because of the UN gnomes.

Industry Affected: All Businesses


Proposed by: Darth Ty

Description: Proposal: More rules and regulations for corporations Clear cutting forests, Expecialy in areas that contain endangered or national animals.

Rules:
1. No Clear Cutting areas that contain National Animals or endangered species.
2. Re-planting areas that have been Clear cut.
3. Protection of, and well being ensured to Wookies and other national animals, kept in mind at all times.
4. No polluting of our forests due to corporate means.
5. Protection of our natural resources.

Explanation: Even though the great Empire of Darth Ty is economy and corporate based, we believe that great animals should be protected. Without our National animals what pride can we take in our region. animals like the Wookie, and you national animal,Should be protected so that every generation can enjoy and take pride in them.
Also, besides the animals, our corporations will be effected if we clear cut too much. Not just Industries like wood-chipping, but every industry will be affected. with out trees there is no future in natural resources. Trees can be replanted yes, but not if there is no seeds. I believe we should take more care in the cutting and re-planting of our forests.

Benefits: 1.Corporations wont run out of resources.
2.Natural resources our preserved.
3.National animals, like the Wookie, will Thrive.
4.Future Generations Benefit.
5.Business will benefit. Illegal, branding.

Equal Educational Opportunity

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity


Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: Hellsnostril

Description: Being that education has been proven to be an effective means of improving quality of life for a community;

And furthermore, being that it has been frequently denied to whole classes of citizens based on discriminatory reasons, preventing them from fully participating in their communities and nations.

We would require all member nations to provide educational opportunities to their female citizens that fulfill the following guidelines:

No child shall receive less than 10 continuous years of education, covering at minimum the following subjects: speaking, reading and writing of their primary language as well as the official language of their country (if it is different), arithmetic and basic algebra, science (to include an understanding of scientific theory, the scientific method, and introductory levels of earth science, physics, chemistry, biology and human anatomy), geography (both local and global), history and finally civics courses to explain how the government in their own country works so that they may be prepared to participate in it to the extent that their own government allows. This schooling shall be provided free of charge to all, including any required materials such as books, paper and writing instruments.

Additionally, post secondary schooling shall be available, although not required, for all citizens of member nations, regardless of age, gender, marital status, religion or disability. This schooling may be charged for, although not at a rate of more than the median average salary per individual per year.

Safety of Space

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Beavrcreek

Description: We are faced with a threat to the pacifist nations that have joined our cause. Many nations, some part of the UN, some not, have believed it necessary to augment their military into a new frontier. Though this is beneficial to the overall advancement of science, it does place many countries that are not as technologically advanced into a severe point of vulnerability. In the past, wars waged on land and sea have been controlled to a point by natural boundaries. Though space is a harsh environment, it provides a new battlefield where any country can be targeted and obliterated.

As the UN, we must seek to help protect those who cannot protect themselves from those who pursue undefended nations.

PROPOSE to construct an International Fleet (IF) which will serve to help prevent wars that may institute the destruction of defenseless nations and drain the global resources.

DEFINES a "weapon" in space as any object which is built under the pretense of harming a person/populace or of any artificial construct.

DEFINES "space" as the area above the atmosphere of a planet whereas a conventional airplane using the air as a medium of travel cannot reach.

ACKNOWLEDGING that space cannot be controlled like air space, such that no country can "own" space, and no space will be considered territory of any nation.

MANDATES that all UN nations contribute to a portion of the IF directly proportional to the population such that the size of the IF exceeds ten times that of two largest military forces in space.

DECLARE war with the IF on any nation who openly attacks a nation without the ability to defend itself.

ENCOURAGES nations to explore space and put ships capable of defending the nation.

MAINTAIN an IF at all times for reasons of safety, even during times of peace.

DECLARES that the no individual or group of countries may command the IF, no matter what percentage of it they house, and that the UN must collectively vote for any action with the IF.
Sorry, you can't establish a UN army (or a Spacedy Navy).

Proposed by: Killer Rock

Description: I propose that the UN should ban cruel punishment. This includes torture, inappropriate humiliation such as forced public nudity, and being put to death. I understand that most of the crimes these criminals have committed are unforgivable but these methods are immoral and injust and there are other ways to fittingly punish them such as extending the sentence and for people who have committed rape or murder could have to look at a picture of the victim in their cell. All that will happen if they are tortured is that it will anger them and cause problems in the jail and putting them to death would be giving them an easy way out. Illegal, contradicts Fair Sentencing Act.

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry


Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation


Proposed by: Smelly Fannys

Description: we all know that the hard working citizens of every nation like to vacate somewhere during the summer months.

i think we need to make a universal holiday destination where the drink is plentyful and the weather is hot hot hot, where there is plenty of thing for familys to do and also things for the singletons or young couples.
i also think that the corporations should pay for thier emplyee's to go on such holidays as these can be expensive.

the pro's of this are.

1. happier healthier workforces.
2. less likely to strike.
3. would make production better within businesses.
4. making people happier will make them work harder and also increadse populations within smaller countries making the game more fair.
5. with the holidays being free the people will beable to spend more money in the retail trade, motors trade etc therefore increasing economy.

cons.
1. could be expensive for businesses
2. workers might be off at the sametime.
cant think of anymore bad things but if u can let me know.

i honestly think this would be for the good of every country by increasing not only work productivity but also public spending and world economy.

Description: Gambling is destroying families, homes, and countries. It creates huge debt and hinders a nation's economic growth. All in all, gambling is terrible and it should be outlawed now! I propose that the U.N. consider outlawing gambling once and for all. For those countries who make money from their gambling industry, they will have to find economic stimulus somewhere else. The decision to outlaw gambling has a compelling interest in keeping the world economically sound and making the world moral. I'm not saying games are immoral, just betting on them. Please, outlaw gambling now!

There, that's about it. It takes up about 3/4 of the UN. No wonder only a few of them are decided upon.

This guy got tic-tac-toe on the proposal list, and they're all dumb.

That, or we could write a resolution banning the use of cheese as a weapon (with the appropriate declaration that cheese is unnecessary for the defense of any Member nation).

We only reccomend using cheese for peaceful purposes, such as our cheese power electric plants. (Behold the power of cheese!) We would never consider a cheesy arms race. I deny all alligations of trying to buy yellow cheese from Nigeria. :p

Gun for the common person?

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: Flabbsvile

Description: Too long guns have plagued our streets It seems every I look i see someone has been murdered with a gun. It is guns that make our nations so dangerous.
Question: could it not be the reason people need guns to protect them selves because it is so easy for anyone to get a gun. Guns should only be allowed for authoritative use only. Military and police. There is no reason people in poorer neighborhoods should be scared to go out in fear of being shot
Solution: I propose a law that prohibits Gun ownership by civilians. Only the Military and the different types of police forces should have guns.

WHEREAS the UNOD would also ensure that the revenue is fairly distributed that it is not taken advantage of by corrupt governments or groups within the areas it is designated to.

WHEREAS the United Nations Member states would be required by International Law to donate the said percentage of GNI, and also to ensure that the governments assist the UNOD in their work to alleviate World Poverty.

Repeal of Resolution 78

Category: International Security


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Zalian

Description: Description: This resolution will repeal Resolution 78, which repealed Resolution that stated that the UN would build up its military and increase military spending.

Argument: We live in the real world. Although we are led to believe, by Resolution 78, that terrorism is our only threat, we must acknowledge the fact that enemies of peace are rising with the power of nuclear weapons. To combat this threat, I purpose that every UN nation be obligated to build up its military, increase its military spending, and have a small supply of nuclear weapons. The UN in its entirety must be fully armed to be ready to pounce on any threats to any nation in our United Nations. We must unite, not only in name, but in force. A United Army would go far to stop war.

The Gambling Act of 2x41z2tu

A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.


Category: Gambling


Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize


Proposed by: 2x41z2tu

Description: Although gambling is often viewed as a dirty and immoral activity, it as actually extremely helpful to society, the government, and the happiness of the citizens. Legalizing gambling in public areas such as stadiums, bars, and other businesses would boost the economy and create for more job openings. Any country with a struggling economy would benefit from this act, and any country with a strong economy would have their economy improved even more. Because taxes would be placed on large earnings, the government would also profit from this law. The happiness and consent of the citizens is the one thing that keeps a government running, and this law would increase the happiness of the citizens in all countries. Gambling is a recreational activity and it should be treated as any other sport or activity would be treated. Legalizing gambling would also create more space in jails. Any previous offender of gambling in an unauthorized area would be released. Those who view gambling as a demon are probably those who aren't winning a lot. Everybody should open their eyes and see that gambling is much more beneficial than harmful.

Closing Corporate Tax Loophole

Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation


Proposed by: Xanderossa

Description: I, Prince Xander I of Xanderossa, submit on behalf of the people of Xanderossa, a bill to protect the integrity of national economies. This bill, if put into effect, would close the tax loopholes of each UN nation to remove the incentives to shift jobs away from the native population. This would ensure that unemployment rates would stay relatively lower and also ensure quality jobs for those people. Any jobs that are surplus or any surplus labor within that native national economy may then be solicited overseas. This is not banning overseas labor, but is simply encouraging companies to hire in their respective nations first and then to search overseas for the jobs that they couldn't fill in their own respective nations.

Uniform Euthanasia Regulations

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Milonnia

Description: Be it hereby enacted by the United Nations

Whereas, the United Nations has the responsibility to ensure that the citizens of member nations' right to die is not infringed in anyway;

Whereas, the United Nations has the responsibility to ensure that euthanasia is perform uniformly and humanely;

Preamble

Nations across the world have been restricting the citizens' right to die. To ensure that this right is upheld humanely, the United Nations hereby pass the Uniform Euthanasia Regulations:

Operative Section:

Article I: Passive Euthanasia

Section I: Passive euthanasia will be allowed if the patient is in a situation where the removal of any type of technology will result in the patient dying.

Section II: If the patient is conscious and can make a decision freely, willingly, and intelligently*, then he can make a written statement, signed by himself, a government official ratifying that the document is valid, the treating physician, a third party physician, and a psychologist that affirms that the decision was made freely, willingly, and intelligently.
*intelligently in this case is defined as knowing the full consequences of the actions of the physician.

Section III: If the patient is not conscious, or able to make a decision freely, willingly, or intelligently**, then if any type of legal document stating the patient’s wishes in such a case exists then it will be followed.
**examples of such cases are if the patient is in a persistent vegetative state, an irreversible coma, etc.

Section IV: If such a document does not exist, then the natural lineage of family in that nation will take hold. The next of kin will decide whether or not the patient will be euthanized. Note that the patient does not have to have previously stated their wishes.

Article II: Active Euthanasia

Section I: If the physician has found the patient to be terminally ill, in substantial bodily pain, or has set a predetermined amount of time for the patient to live then active euthanasia by form of lethal injection may be prescribed. The physician in this case can urge this form of action but the decision must be made in a written statement by the patient. The same parties outlined in Article I: Section II must sign and serve the same purposes. If the patient cannot make a decision freely, willingly, or intelligently, then the responsibility of deciding whether to accept the physician’s prescribed action will fall to the next of kin.

Section II: If there is a citizen in a member nation that has grown weary of life and would like to end it humanely, without pain, then that individual may seek a physician to assist him or her. In this case the patient must not have a financial, or otherwise, obligation to society. Also a written statement similar to the one outlined in Article I: Section: II, with the same parties signing, and affirming the same things. If all of these procedures are met, then a physician may perform active euthanasia by way of lethal injection.

Article III: The UN will enforce this resolution, in all its parts, and corrective measures will be taken against member nations that do not align themselves with this resolution.

Article IV: This resolution will go into effect after the final reading of the legislative body of the United Nations.

Entitlment to Amphetamines

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry


Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation


Proposed by: Ann of the Word

Description: The United Nations, without exception will unanimously allow and subsidize the use of amphetamines (especially speed and other high grade 'uppers') by transport industry workers.

- This will allow truck drivers and other people in the transport industry to operate vehicles for at least 96 hours without stopping

- This will increase the prosperity and productivity of all UN countries, by allowing greater trade and faster, more convenient deliveries of goods and services

- Give creedence to our hard working truckies, allowing them extreme professionalism and to not have them being scared of about being pulled over by traffic authorities and drug tested. They use it already, why not protect them?

CLAUSE:

a) Each government will also subsidize the greeting card (retail) industry, especially sympathy cards. Under these brave, radical and great laws, road tolls are expected to quadruple.

b) Each government will erect a 'victims of productivity' memorial in their capitals. When a trucker or innocent roaduser, their names will be added, so all can know that these peoples sacrifice was not in vain.

c) Truck drivers who do not use the subsidized speed and refuse to take drugs to enhance their performance may be labelled "chickens" by their bosses and double dared into taking the drugs, after which time they may be arbitarily fired.

This law will greatly increase the productivity and bring UN countries into the new, global economy age.

A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.


Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Milonnia

Description: Be it hereby enacted by the United Nations

WHEREAS, the United Nations has the responsibility to enforce the right of governments to prune its population, so that only contributing citizens remain;

RESPECTING, Resolution #26 and the like, which state equal protection under the law;

CONCURRING WITH, Resolution #26 and the like, whereas an individual that does not contribute to society is not defined as a citizen;

ACKNOWLEDGING, that this resolution does not allow genocide,

The United Nations hereby pass Population Pruning Procedures:

Preamble

Nations have citizens that contribute nothing to society, and, in some cases, are detrimental to society. Nations have the right to forcibly export these citizens to a nation that does not exercise this right AND is willing to accept the said citizens. If no such nation exists, or if the citizen refuses to be exported, the citizen may be humanely executed.

Operative Section

Article I: Definitions

Section I: A citizen is defined as a member of a nation, born or naturalized, who owes their allegiance to that nation, in return for that nations protection.

Section II: Allegiance is defined as contributing to the nation and society, and in doing this affirming your loyalty to the said nation.

Article II: Situation

Section I: If a citizen does not offer their allegiance, that is to say contributes to society, then the government has the option to remove that citizen from society. A citizen can be selected as not contributing in several ways. If a citizen does not contribute economically, that is to say that he makes no income or does any type of volunteer work, or government work, it is considered not contributing. Also if a citizen is detrimental to society, that is contributing to an underground economy that does not contribute to the government of a society, or disrupting society to the point that other citizens do not contribute, then they are not contributing to society.

Article III: Consequence

Section I: If a citizen is believed by the government to not be contributing, the government must give the citizen 90 days notice. If behavior has not changed then the government may exile or execute the citizen.

Section II: Exile must be to an uninhabited area, or to another nation that will accept the citizen.

Section III: Execution must be done humanely through lethal injection.

Article IV: Enforcement

Section I: If a citizen believes that the government is using this power unfairly then he must gain a petition of 5% of the government’s population agreeing with him. Upon reviewing this petition all exiles and executions due to this resolution in that nation will be halted until a commission appointed by the UN can go and affirm that the nation is performing everything correctly.

Section II: This resolution will be enforced by the United Nations in all member states, by member states.

Article V: Activation

Section I: This resolution will go into effect upon the final reading of the legislative body of the United Nations.

Approvals: 5 (Milonnia, Beryllonia, Ann of the Word, FreeChina, Ellenburg)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 117 more approvals)

Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing


Proposed by: Axedestest

Description: Automobiles cause death to many things in our world. Animals, People and nature. Beauty is one of the most profitable things in a country. Beauty attracts tourists, whom pay a lot to stay.

I.Automobiles kill animals. Animals are many things for us. Food, clothing sometimes, and other things that people like a lot. Cars are going down the highway and kill them and now all we have is roadkill.

II. Pollution. Cars pollute the air and make smog. Smog kills nature, People and animals. Smog suffocates animals, destroys trees and plants, and hurts people. Lung cancer sound familiar?

III. People are obese. Face it. Most of the population is. Cars dont make them obese, but they dont help them not. Obese people should be trying to lose weight. They go on diets, but that doesnt stop it.You need exercise too. Cars dont make them want to walk. They say they will walk but they grab their keys and get in the car.

Cars shouldnt be recalled or completely illegal to have. There are people with disabilities, but the people that dont should get exercise. I say decrease automobile production and increase enviormentaly safe ways of transportation!But what about the Hotrodians? Won't someone please think of the Hotrodians?

Repeal "Chemical Transport Standards"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #183


Proposed by: Haludel

Description: UN Resolution #183: Chemical Transport Standards (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: BELIEVING that the Chemical Transport Standard resolution is a waste of funding and not a necessity.

STATING that countries undoubtedly have a system for safe chemical transport without the need of the UN, or an UNCTC.

EMPHASIZES how pointless the resolution is, and how it has little need to be a worldwide system for chemical transport.

ENCOURAGES member nations to repeal this resolution so that the member nations can spend funds on enforcing resolutions to deal with more pressing issues.

line can make.

WISHING that this resolution will bring more political attention to families under the poverty line.

CONCLUSION. A ban on children working under the age of 10 more support for families under the poverty line, a time limit on working humans under 18 of 5 hours (7 am-7pm 6 hours tutoring and 1 hour lunch break) and a minimal pay of £1 per hour.

Universal Rights

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: FreeChina

Description: Stating that while a nation has a right to run its own government, these governments can sometimes be corrupted and abusive to their citizens rights. the bill i am proposing shall change this by making a Universal Bill of Rights.

Amendment One:Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion, Petition, Assembly.
Article 1: Under no circumstances shall a UN Nation pass a law abrigading a human being's natural rights to Freedom of Speech, unless when it is necessary during a time of war where such right shall be restricted in order to maintain law and order.
Article 2: No UN Nation shall make a law abrigading the Freedoms of the Press, Religion, the right to petition, or the right to peacefully assemble unless it is deemed necessary to do so during a time of war.
Article 3: No UN Nation shall be allowed at anytime to strip a accused person of their criminal rights, such as the right to a attorney, the right to appeal, writ of habus corpus, or the right to a trial by jury. also, no nation shall strip the right to a fair and speedy public trial.
Article 4: At no time shall a nation punish a person for speaking out against the respective government or against governmental officials including but not limited to, all members of parliament and foreign diplomats.
Article 5: At No Time shall a nation within a region belonging to said nation be allowed to break off and form a new government, unless it is necessary to do so by the reason the official government is corrupt or inefficient to govern said people.
Article 6: At no time shall a group of people be paroded from a crime without the approval of the head of state of said nation.
Article 7: At No Time, during peace or war, shall a government be allowed to detain a person or a group of people without sufficient cause or unless if it is deemed by the head of state and parliament that this person or group of people would be a threat to national security.
Article 8: No UN Nation shall be allowed to unfairly impeach a top governmental official or head of state without a fair trial be done and the accused is notified of the charges against him/her. a vote of 2/3 of parliament shall be required to impeach said person.

In Conclusion, i believe that this proposal be accepted on the grounds that it quite clearly states a human being's natural rights. While this proposal does not include all of a human being's rights, it can be implied as to what is not included and this proposal covers the most basic of all human rights.

Proposed by: Palastak

Description: There have been a lot of disputes over countries and recently checked that you can not wage war on enemies. I had one time when my enemy got so bad he swore.People say talk it out but I say fight it out! As in reality we simply do not settle our extreme differences by talking them out in the oval office. We fight, not only because we hate eachother but we have freedom to do so. If someone want's to use force as a punishment then I so DO IT. Think of it as brotherly love.As it does in the real world, that could unit us even more because as you see Germany, England, Japan, etc. our our aliens.Therefore if we have the Great right of war then we will never have disagreements for that long. We unit as one! We fall as a ton. I think they want war added to the game, but I can't be sure.

Entitlment to Amphetamines

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation
Proposed by: Ann of the Word

Description: The United Nations, without exception will unanimously allow and subsidize the use of amphetamines (especially speed and other high grade 'uppers') by transport industry workers.

- This will allow truck drivers and other people in the transport industry to operate vehicles for at least 96 hours without stopping

- This will increase the prosperity and productivity of all UN countries, by allowing greater trade and faster, more convenient deliveries of goods and services

- Give creedence to our hard working truckies, allowing them extreme professionalism and to not have them being scared of about being pulled over by traffic authorities and drug tested. They use it already, why not protect them?

CLAUSE:

a) Each government will also subsidize the greeting card (retail) industry, especially sympathy cards. Under these brave, radical and great laws, road tolls are expected to quadruple.

b) Each government will erect a 'victims of productivity' memorial in their capitals. When a trucker or innocent roaduser, their names will be added, so all can know that these peoples sacrifice was not in vain.

c) Truck drivers who do not use the subsidized speed and refuse to take drugs to enhance their performance may be labelled "chickens" by their bosses and double dared into taking the drugs, after which time they may be arbitarily fired.



This law will greatly increase the productivity and bring UN countries into the new, global economy age.

Allow me the first to say...

*ahem*

WTF?

You forgot the massive rl refs in THE FIGHT FOR WILL also flib :P

Havvy, I may be overstepping myself here, but given that would be a feat in anatomy, I'll go ahead anyway. I also know you may not read this, but if you do: hello, I know you're trying; if you don't: hello, I know you're very trying.

Sorry, but you're beginning to annoy at least - though I suspect not only - me.

For example:
What does extradition mean? I personally have no clue. Please resond
This isn't really the thread for this. Some better places: here (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=extradition&meta=) or here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition) or here (http://www.answers.com/extradition&r=67)...or even better... (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=499817)

"Extradition" is a perfectly well-defined term in the legal lexicon. Writing a proposal about it is neither silly nor illegal; this thread can't just be "I don't understand this".
Doesn't define any terms that could be confusing and doesn't mandate anything.
If your point is, "and therefore it shouldn't be 'Strong'", I suspect the mods would appreciate your spelling it out. They're not stupid, but equally they've said they don't spend a great deal of time on this: delete the obvious illegal ones, leave the harmless rest (unless they're feeling bored/mean/etc.) So making it clear why something is illegal, so they have a simple reason to go on, is probably a good idea: see Flibbleites/Witchcliff and how they tend to post proposals.

Next, and because I really am not sure you're reading this, I'll spell it out nice and big:
DON'T POST PROPOSALS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY POSTED!

CHECK THE LAST FEW POSTS IN THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING.

Finally, your signature has a misspelling in it. That's just me being unnecessarily picky, but I thought you might like to know.

You forgot the massive rl refs in THE FIGHT FOR WILL also flib :P

And who's this Will guy anyway?

Contradicts Fair Sentencing Act. Not to mention the bit I bolded. I always suspected government workers did nothing to contribute to society, but why pick on volunteers :p.

Is this illegal, insane, or all of the above? First, let's count all the illegal things.

It's outlawing war, but it's listed as International Security. Isn't that category for the opposite of this? George orwell would be proud...or roll over in his grave, one or the other.

It presumes the existence of a UN military. It doesn't create one, but it invokes it. Maybe the UN Defence Forces are a buffet table in the lunchroom couples with a can of beer.

It also gets into Furtherment of Democracy. Whoa, Charlie. One resolution at a time.

And what is this 100.000.000 dollars? My unit of currency is the puck; that's equal to about 1,000,000,000 dollars, so here, fine me a tenth of a puck per violation. Also, isn't it illegal to try to unite currencies? Therefore, it's illegal or it's insane. That or, since the resolution calls for contributions and not fines, I'll just hand over a tenth of a puck. I can spare it.

Also, I got a resolution tossed out awhile ago (way back in the day) for proposing that UN members should be ejected for violating it. Look closely at line 9. It does the same thing. Ladies and gentlemen, it's illegal on a few grounds. My work here is done...until the next batshit-insane proposal pops up.

And who's this Will guy anyway?I don't know, but people are always shooting at him.

Generating more auto making jobs by giving manufacturers incentives to produce hybrids and other high-efficiency cars and trucks.Requiring polluter to cut global warming emissions -- Congress should show some leadership, and make it law. Passing national renewable energy standards that would require utilities to generate as much as 25 percent of their electricity mix from renewable energy sources like wind, solar and geothermal power. Reducing our dependence on oil! It can and should be done -- simply using better tires on cars and trucks would save more oil.And researching fuels like hydrogen,cellulosic biofuels which can boost our country's agriculture industry.

Firearm Identification Records

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: R93

Description: There are 550 million firearms in global circulation. Thats one firearm for every twelve people. Thats a lot of people.

Broken down, about 30-40% of the worlds firearms are in use by the Military. That leaves over 50% of firearms in the hands of people you don't want to meet in a dark alley.

This proposal aims to record every firearm manufactured beggining 2007 as it is impossible to recall every firearm made prior. In 2007 every firearm will recieve a GPS tracking unit and a record number which will go into an international database.

When someone decides to buy a firearm they must register it and have it activated at their local police station.

As well as the tracking unit and number each firearm will recieve a Personal Trigger Identification Unit (PTIU) which will be programmed with the owner of the firearm's details, location and a log of when the trigger has been pulled (like and aircrafts black box recorder). The PTIU will also act as a safety catch, if someone other than the owner attempts to fire the weapon it will immobilise itself and will have to be reset.

The PTIU will store its memory in a small hardrive above the magazine. The hardrive will store 40 Gigabytes of memory, if the hardrive is filled then the owner must take his/her firearm to a police station to have the hardrive downloaded and cleared for further use. If the hardrive is tampered in any way the gun will immobilise itself.

The PTIU will also be able to be used via satellite. The GPS tracking unit installed for record taking purposes will also be used for pinpointing exactly where the firearm is at the time it is being discharged. The information will go directly to the police station the firearm was registered and activated at.

Only security personnell will have access to this information. This proposal is the future of firearm safety, when a man or woman is shot in an alley; the time, the owner and the place of the incident will be recorded instantly. If a shot is fired across international borders, it will be recorded instantly. The PTIU can be used in any country.

Agricultural Hemp Production

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental


Industry Affected: Woodchipping


Proposed by: Bhagavan5

Description: RECOGNIZING that hemp is a profitable and environmentally friendly crop.

EMPHASIZING that industrial hemp cannot be used as a drug. Hemp maybe be similar to Marijuana in appearance, but it lacks the THC levels of Marijuana.

REALIZING that hemp is ideal for industrial paper manufacturing, can be used for clothing and shoes, for use as a renewable energy source, and for use in food products. The increased demand for health food has stimulated the trade in shelled hemp seed while hemp oil is increasingly being used in the manufacturing of bodycare products. Hemp is an excellent source of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids.

RECOGNIZING that hemp is a sustainable, annual crop that is ready for harvest just 120 days after going to seed, much shorter then trees. Harvesting hemp doesn't destroy the natural habitats of thousands of distinct animal and plant species, unlike cotton.

RECOGNIZING that hemp is a hardy plant that can grow easily and abundantly almost anywhere. Hemp can even be cultivated in arid regions with poor soil or in places with a very short growing season. Hemp requires little water or nutrients, and can be grown without chemical fertilizers. Hemp is an ideal rotation crop for farmers worldwide. It puts down a taproot twelve inches long in only thirty days, preventing topsoil erosion.

RECOGNIZING that hemp's cellulose level is three times that of wood, so it produces superior paper products and yielding four times as much pulp per acre as trees. The hemp paper process utilizes less energy and chemicals than tree paper processing and does not create the harmful dioxins, chloroform, or any of the other 2,000 chlorinated organic compounds that are byproducts of the wood paper process.

REQUIRES that each nation set up an advisory board to oversee this program and its financial operation. The advisory board will be comprised of 8 officials and one director of the board. The advisory board will also be comprised of other workers to help these 8 officials and to help manage the work of this agency.

FURTHER REQUESTS that the director and these 8 officials be picked by the government of that nation. The director will have discretion in selecting additional employees.

REQUIRES that these 8 officials be comprised of 2 economists, 2 ecologists, 2 agriculturalists (preferably having knowledge in cultivating hemp), and 2 biologists.

REQUIRES the advisory board have the power to provide incentives to farmers that grow or will grow hemp. There are two types of incentives that can be provided to these farmers:

1. Farmers who grow hemp will be given tax breaks. These tax breaks will be based on how much hemp the farmer grows, and the maximum tax break will be 30% for a yearly period.

2. Farmers will recieve monthly stipends, and will also be based on how much hemp they grow. The maximum stipend will be $10,000.

REQUIRES that the budget be based on how many farmers are involved in the program, and how much each farmer plans on growing. Farmers in the program will be asked to give a small percentage of their profits to the program. The percentage will be based on economic status of the farmer, and how much profit they are making. This should provide 30 % of the funds for the program, and the other 40% will come from the government, and the remaining 30% shall come from the United Nations.

This is essentially the same resolution that was recently repealed, with just the odd word changed here and there. The rest is a word for word duplicate.

Edit: Just discovered that the nation behind this is the author of the original. Glad I did'nt outright accuse him/her of the P word :p.

Mind you, I'm still going to leave it here. The membership have only just decided to take this legislation off the books and I think it will need more than the minor changes it has received to have a hope of being passed again.

A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.


Category: Political Stability
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Thalkania

Description: CRIME PREVENTION ACT
As you well know, crime as a whole is on the increase in our world. Despite the best efforts of government, illegal acts (ranging from petty thievery to homicide) are committed more and more every day in many UN nations.

Therefore, I propose:

- All UN nations collaborate to form the BARN (Biometric and Retinal Network.)

- BARN is a database containing the identity of every person who has ever committed a crime in a UN country belonging to the UN - it contains their fingerprints, their retinal scan and any other method of identifying them.

- Upon the conviction of a criminal, he will be scanned and his details entered into this database, which will be shared amongst all UN nations. Citizens who are arrested but not convicted of their supposed crime will be put into the database for a period of 6 months only.

BARN will:

-Reduce crime, as it will act as a powerful deterrent
-Governments will be able to track criminals across countries, and bar them access if necessary (so as to prevent their society from having any more detrimental influences)
-Companies will be able to check the credentials of potential employees and see if they have a criminal record: this will therefore reduce fraud significantly. Banks may also use the system when lending money, so this will reduce financial fraud as well.

In conclusion, BARN will be an international criminal database which will make our crime-ravaged world a safer place.

Try repealing that first and come back with your Big Brother proposal.

DECLARES that all UN Members get the right to ratify all UN Resolutions so that they are passed by the parliament or equivalent body in the Member State. This allows the law to be compatible with local laws as well as closing any loopholes that may arise.

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Hensby

Description: RECOGNISES the good that UN Resolutions do in the world of Nation States in promoting freedom and protecting the world and its resources

BELIEVES that the UN should be treated with the respect that it deserves from its Members

STRESSES the need for a guide for writing proposals

FEELS too much time is wasted by proposals not fit for any court

DECLARES that all UN Proposals and Resolutions should be of high enough standard that a Jury and Judge could come to an obvious conclusion on how the Resolution is implemented. IE: there should be no way of escaping a resolutions law, and there should be no omissions or ambiguity in the wording of a resolution that would provide a means of evading compliance with the resolution

BELIEVES too many Proposals and Resolutions are of too low a standard to be judged fit to be put in front of the UN. Including, but not limited to, Resolution #s: 4, 7, 11, 15, etc. Flaws of these include no definitions of key terms and a lacking of any real structure

RECOGNISES the good intent meant in every UN Resolution

DECLARES all proposals should abide by the following rules:
1) All key terms be defined
2) No use of the first person
3) Proposals should contain the name of their country rather than ‘we’. E.G: ‘The Kingdom of Hensby believes that there should be a guide to how proposals are written’
4) All proposals should have a proper structure as shown in, but not limited to, resolutions #s: 14, 25, 26, etc.
5) All spellings must be correct in either English UK or English US
6) No slang should be used

DEFINES “Members” as a State or Country that has be permitted UN Member status and is still currently a recognised Member. This includes UN Delegates

DEFINES “Court of Law” as a court that hears cases and makes decisions based on statutes or the common law

DEFINES “key terms” as terms that form a vital part of the resolution as well as terms that have context specific meanings. Also, terms that could be interpreted in a way that is not intended. E.G: Landmines could mean mines in land for mining natural resources, or anti-personnel mines

DEFINES “first person” as a tense where a person refers to themselves as ‘I’

DEFINES “English UK” as accepted English spellings used in the United Kingdom

DEFINES “English US” as accepted English spellings used in the United States of America

DEFINES “Slang” as a kind of language occurring chiefly in casual and playful speech, made up typically of short-lived coinages and figures of speech that are deliberately used in place of standard terms for added raciness, humour, irreverence, or other effect

Subsidized Forestation

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental


Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing


Proposed by: Oofta

Description: This resolution recognizes that deforestation has become rampant among world leaders. It also recognizes that regional laws to protect forests are easily compromised. The Republic of Oofta, therefore, offers the following resolution:

THE UNITED NATIONS SHOULD FUND AND ENFORCE AREAS OF PROTECTED FOREST IN ALL COUNTRIES THAT ARE MEMBERS OF THE UN, TO BE USED AS AREAS OF CONSERVATION. THESE AREAS SHOULD TAKE UP AT LEAST 2% OF A COUNTRIES TOTAL SQUARE AREA.

Observation One: Biodiversity

Deforestation has become a threat to biodiversity in today's world. A countries government can only do so much in the interest of environment in the face of large corporations. This means, however, that the worlds rain forests are in great trouble. Rain forests are home to 98% of the world's species. To lose the rain forests would have horrible consequences in everyday life, but it looks increasingly likely that this will be what happens.

Or look at what happened with the California redwoods-the largest, oldest living things in the world. These were beautiful creatures whose forests were home to many species. One would think that the US Federal Government's laws banning logging them would protect them-but it is not the case. These laws have been relaxed to the point where they are completely innefectual, and industry can use them to their advantage as they very well please-which of late they have been doing.

Observation 2: Solvency

As I have stated earlier, governmental laws are completely innefectual at stopping deforestation. However, the United Nations carries the funding and importance to stand up to these corporations that want to use these forests for industrial purposes. Make the right decision, vote for this proposal and reap the benefits!

Elimination of Art Projects

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity


Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: Jessrondia

Description: In language and writing classes where students have traditionally been trained to use proper grammar, spelling, and write decent essays, it has become an alarmingly common trend for schools to opt for "creative" projects where students are forced to use posters and other visual elements while minimizing the amount of writing. These projects continue throughout the high school years, leaving students ill-prepared for the rigorous writing requirements in most colleges.

This has the effect of inflating the grades of those who would not otherwise receive a passing mark in such courses, and also harming the grades of students who are not talented in the art of drawing.

I'm not artistic, but teachers are smart and don't make the ability of your artistic skill be the grade, but the effort they saw.

Thus, such projects are unfair to all students, as their grades in writing classes no longer reflect their ability to write, but their ability to cut, paste, and draw.

Therefore, this proposal would do the following:

*Eliminate all MANDATORY art projects for students, and if there is a "creative" project, students should be allowed to follow any creative measures they desire, not merely drawing on a poster. They should be allowed to write a story, make a song, or any thing, since forcing students to draw on posters does not bode well for their creative expression.

Does this include pottery, art, and creative writing? Also, an advertising class along with home decor. classes (which exist at my school) aren't allowed to give the projects they are suppose to?

*Require at least three five-page essays during a writing course, and enforce rules of grammar and spelling.

I don't want to write any essays during my first grade. I would rather learn how to make a sentence first.

*No drawing/creative project should be allowed to be more than 10% of a student's final grade in a non-art/creative course.

No Comment; Wait, I do. Why don't we just have 10 10% creative assignments?

*Art projects should remain in art classes, which are already a requirement in most schools.

No Comment

*Students should be able to discern their, they're, and there, too, to, and two, your and you're before passing classes in English.

Here's what I think that should be: Students should be able to discern their, they're, there, too, to, two, your, and you're before passing English Classes. I also want to mention First Grade again.

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Moronatia

Description: IT IS RECOGNISED that Governments exist as representatives of nations.

THEREFORE, it is recognised that it is the duty of Governments, be they democratic or otherwise, to advance the interests of their nation to the extent defined by that Government.

FURTHERMORE, it is recognised that at times such interests may conflict with the interests of foreign Governments.

AS SUCH, it is proposed that a United Nations Resolution be passed to recognise that Governments may intervene in the affairs of a foreign nation in order to alter or replace a foreign Government.

IF PASSED, this Resolution will:

1)Recognise that in Foreign Affairs, each individual nation operates free from external constraints as far as is permitted by its Government.
2)Prevents any United Nations Resolution being passed which prevents invasion of one nation by another for the purposes of regime change, unless this Resolution is repealed.

Approvals: 7 (Ohrder, FreeChina, Ellenburg, Lusapha, Scoopy, Gortania, WZ Forums)

Aside from the fact that this is another, albeit more polished, proposal that says "zOMG t3h ebu1 UN v|014735 t3h n47|0n41 s0\/3r3|gn733" and is blatantly illegal for that alone, it prevents regime change, which is either a duplication or a contradiction of game mechanics.

And I love the "unless this Resolution is repealed" bit. No kidding.


A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation
Proposed by: Ossman

Description: IDEA: Due to growing population in alot of nations right now, there is not going to be enough power to be made for the millions of new families.
How we react: We shall make lots more super power factories, which use either coal, solar panels, wind turbines or we can go to potential energy factories with people spinning a big wheel around in circles.

Any of them is fine.

We need hundreds of more factories even if it cost lots of thousands of millions of pounds to make. We need more electric pylons on more roads.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Xyrael

Description: UN Resolution #10: Stop privacy intrusion (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The rise of anti-government entities, terrorist groups, and radical seperatist movements which threaten the stability of the nation itself has called the Republic of Xyrael to question the legitimacy of this resolution. Not only does this violate a nations sovereignty to govern its citizens as it sees fit, but it also damages the governments ability to defend itself against suspected threats. The limitation of the Judiciary imposes upon all nations the idea of a balance of powers, which is not used throughout the world as it is not valued by all cultures. There is a flaw also, in that if the Judiciary is controlled by the 'executive' branch then this resolution does nothing to prevent the government from doing what it will. This resolution is not only ethno-centric and horribly in favor of democracy, but also impractical to enforce and idealogical in nature.

First off, it's branding. Second off, it brings up national sovereignty. Third off, I fail to see how the original resolution is ethnocentric. Yup, this definitely goes along with the "three strikes and you're batshit insane" rule.

Aside from the fact that this is another, albeit more polished, proposal that says "zOMG t3h ebu1 UN v|014735 t3h n47|0n41 s0\/3r3|gn733" and is blatantly illegal for that alone, it prevents regime change, which is either a duplication or a contradiction of game mechanics.

1. National sovereignty is not mentioned in the proposal, nor is synonymous terminology used.

2. Even if it were, the rule against using national sovereignty as an argument applies to repeals that are composed exclusively or mostly of natsov arguments, and the above proposal meets neither of those requirements.

3. What the hell does "duplication or contradiction of game mechanics" mean?

First off, it's branding. Second off, it brings up national sovereignty. Third off, I fail to see how the original resolution is ethnocentric. Yup, this definitely goes along with the "three strikes and you're batshit insane" rule.

Global Currency

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry


Area of Effect: Tort Reform


Proposed by: Dismiscus

Description: Although this proposal would impact several categories, I chose the Advancement of industry because if the proposal were enacted it would advance industry in such a way as has never been known.

The proposal itself is simple: All members of the U.N. should share a common currency, the United Nations Dollar (UND).

Trade would be cheaper and more efficient, it would bring all U.N. countries together and the effects on economies would be wonderful as all nations could help each other and share wealth very easily. UND would change the face of our world.

Elimination of Art Projects

Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Jessrondia

Description: In language and writing classes where students have traditionally been trained to use proper grammar, spelling, and write decent essays, it has become an alarmingly common trend for schools to opt for "creative" projects where students are forced to use posters and other visual elements while minimizing the amount of writing. These projects continue throughout the high school years, leaving students ill-prepared for the rigorous writing requirements in most colleges.

This has the effect of inflating the grades of those who would not otherwise receive a passing mark in such courses, and also harming the grades of students who are not talented in the art of drawing.

Thus, such projects are unfair to all students, as their grades in writing classes no longer reflect their ability to write, but their ability to cut, paste, and draw.

Therefore, this proposal would do the following:

*Eliminate all MANDATORY art projects for students, and if there is a "creative" project, students should be allowed to follow any creative measures they desire, not merely drawing on a poster. They should be allowed to write a story, make a song, or any thing, since forcing students to draw on posters does not bode well for their creative expression.

*Require at least three five-page essays during a writing course, and enforce rules of grammar and spelling.

*No drawing/creative project should be allowed to be more than 10% of a student's final grade in a non-art/creative course.

*Art projects should remain in art classes, which are already a requirement in most schools.

*Students should be able to discern their, they're, and there, too, to, and two, your and you're before passing classes in English.

Funniest proposal ever!

It's been a relatively calm night. I don't think there's anything in there that can make it illegal. If you look for one of my posts, you can find what I have outlined the problems are with it. I hope that it's a one-time submit thing.

Gun Sales

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: KungYo

Description: Guns are going too easy in the world I think we should sell guns and/or permits depending on these things

I. Calaber- Depending on the Calaber of the gun the highest calaber the higher the cost and a certain calaber of a gun would be illegal for civillions to own

II. Type- Automatic guns should ONLY be used in military actions and cutting down on the sells will cut down on deaths due to these guns

III. Hunting guns- Guns ment for hunting should have a SPECIAL permit, and only be Legal in a certain area

IV. Hand guns- Hand guns should only be used as police force OR Self defence

V. Government manufacturing- Only the government should make/distribute guns to their people, this will make Gang violence less and murders Via guns less

VI. Background checks- Severe Background checks should be used for people that buy guns AND bullets and remember guns don't kill people BULLETS do.


I think overall this could reduce Violence with guns and In force many safety issues.

To borrow from Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet ...

The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow
And so am I
The workday passes like molasses in wintertime
But it's July

I'm gettin' paid by the hour and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call it somethin'
I think I'll just call it a day

Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care

Personally I'd rather eat a cheeseburger in paradise than hear it.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #63
Proposed by: The Ulstermen

Description: UN Resolution #63: Freedom of Press (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This is a tricky matter! I propose this repeal to the freedom of press act for the following reasons.
Reporters are FREE to fabricate stories
Wealthy media tycoons have the power to use propaganda to further their business and political aims
Paparazzi are like vultures who have nothing better to do than be peeping toms.
Rather than a free press I am proposing that the press should be IMPARTIAL and that a watchdog is put in place to stop the many counts of misinformation we are all so used to seeing in the press. The Mediocrats have the power to use mass hypnosis and propanda by spreading lie after lie to satisfy their unaccountable propaganda ministry employers we need to take that power away from them and make sure every news story is reported with the utmost accuracy.

Rhetoric. Paranoid ramblings with little substance. Introduces new legislation in a repeal. Yeah. It's dumb.

Category: Global Disarmament


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Billfania

Description: We propose to amend the "Rights and Duties" of the United Nations so as to prohibit United Nation Member-States from maintaining solely self-serving military forces. If approved, this proposal could limit military spending, encourage global disarmament, and discourage military engagement.

We propose that the following portions of Resolution #49 be modified as such:

Section II: The Art of War:

"Article 4
§ Every UN Member State has the right of individual or collective self-defense against armed attack."

Shall be modified to read:

Article 4
§ Every UN Member State has the right to maintain military forces for the purpose of collective self-defense against armed attack.

"Article 5
§ War in the World of NationStates is defined as a consensual act between two or more NationStates. Any and all NationStates may, at their discretion, respond to declarations of war on NationStates who wish to avoid war. The recommended method is a barrage of I.G.N.O.R.E. Cannons."

Shall be modified to read:

Article 5
§ If any other Nation should suggest War against any of the NationStates. Any and all NationStates shall be required to respond with declarations of war against the Nation which first made the suggestion. Such declarations should be followed with a tremendous show of force against the initial aggressor.Gee, an attempt to amend a resolution that was written by a nation who is now a mod, I wonder how long this one will be in the list.

Category: Repeal


Resolution: #151


Proposed by: Prymordia

Description: UN Resolution #151: Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: In these chaotic times, war occurs on all fronts. Though the UN tries tirelessly to stem the violent tide, there comes a time when war is the only choice. The only way a nation can achieve victory is through cooperation with it's allies. This means sharing intell, troops, and WEAPONS. There may come a time when one nation may be on the verge of defeat. In order to prevent the enemy from aquiring the weapons, they may want to give them to an ally who will continue to use them against thier common enemy. The nuclear bomb itself is a last resort weapon to even the most unstable rogue nation. Therefore, I urge you to consider an Amendment to resolution #151 which states:
"ARTICLE I. UN member nations shall not:
(1) Directly or indirectly transfer control or ownership of nuclear weapons to or from any nation.
(2) Assist or induce any nation to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or control over such weapons.
(3) Seek or receive any assistance in the manufacture of nuclear weapons, other than for the purpose of improving the safety of the weapon.

The nuke always has been and always will be a weapon of war. I urge you to to make the following amendments

(1)Allied nations may transfer ownership and control of nuclear arms in the act of war against a common enemy

(2)No profit may be gained by the transfer

(3)When hostilities stop, nuclear weapons must be returned to the nation that built them.Illegal, repeals cannot amend legislation.

Gee, an attempt to amend a resolution that was written by a nation who is now a mod, I wonder how long this one will be in the list.
Oh, I'm not that much of an egoist about it. Besides, the only real objection beyond the "illegal amendments" thing is that ... well, you don't really need to improve on perfection.

Repeal "Civilian Casualty Records"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #140


Proposed by: Hoppa

Description: UN Resolution #140: Civilian Casualty Records (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This is a good idea, but is lacking at several spots:

1. The miltary cannot always pay attention to the records of civilian casualties, as they are at war during the time when the people were killed.

2. That possibly they could create a specific government agency to focus on civilian deaths by both stopping and recording the deaths.

3. And finally, that soldier deaths could also be mistaken for civilian deaths.

I propose there be a better system of keeping track of ones soldiers, and that an effective division of men and women, dedicated to civilian safety, oversee military strategies and provide input on what would be best for winning the war and also keeping a nations people safe.

Resolution: #21
Proposed by: Milonnia

Description: UN Resolution #21: Fair trial (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Be it hereby enacted by the United Nations;

WHEREAS, the UN has the responsibility to repeal poorly written resolutions;

WHEREAS, the UN has the responsibility to define ambiguous terms;

WHEREAS, with no definition of fair trial there is lots of room for interpretation within a nation;

The United Nations hereby repail Fair Trial:

Preamble

Operative Section

Article I: Repeal

Section I: Resolution #21, Fair Trial, is hereby repealed.

Article II: Enforcement

Proposed by: Dogresh-Kahkt

Description: Nobody can predict when the next Ice age will arrive, we MUST be prepared.
According to my calculations, when the Ice has begun to advance towards the equator, there will only be enough land to provide food to feed 1 third of the Earth's population. 1 third of the Earth's population will die. My proposal is that we begin investing in indoor-agriculture facilities. ( Indoor farms and barns for animals) Using artificial sunlight and plentiful water, this is possible. The technology is there, but we wont be if we don't use it.

Also, if only a third of the population dies, and a third of the population can be fed, what happens to the other third? Do they suddenly become autotrophic? That and "1 third" is really annoying as far as wording goes.

Strengthen UN forces

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.


Category: International Security


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Lebostrana

Description: Realizing that the United Nations crime levels are influenced strongly by the funding and strength of their police forces.

Replacing common police firearms with rifles, introducing riot shields, replacing uniform with Kevlar, etc.

Also realizing that the United Nations are kept safe by the military when democracy fails.

Introducing medical or sentry-duty machines to aid troops,
elite training for troops, production and storage of nuclear warheads, etc.

In this way fewer nations may oppose UN authority, and national crimes will lower significantly.

In summary, we propose considerably greater funding to United Nations military and police forces.

Description: This is a massive injustice not only for Gay people all over the world but also a travesty that the original proposal for Gay Rights was repealed.

There are two majors points of law that must be passed by the UN in order for this body to be taken seriously at all, they are:

1) Gay rights to marriage, and all the legal rights that accompany heterosexual marriage

2) That the gay community must be protected under all law in relation to discrimination either at work or in the home.

Please for the sake of the dignity of this body, the UN, make a reasonable vote. All people should be free and be offered the same rights and opportunities regardless of sex, colour, creed or SEXUAL ORIENTATION.Illegal, duplicates existing resolutions.

Category: Education and Creativity


Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: We can not hear you

Description: In order to preserve and develop the minds of our countries young ones, a sufficient standard of learning shall be set to help encourage the growth of our children.

About the Tests
1.) Beginning when the child is in 7th grade, tests on ,grammar/spelling/and reading comprehension in the child’s country’s national language, Mathematics, and science will be given every two years of the child’s school career until that child is in 11th grade. These test will be drawn up by a U.N. Task force of certified test makers. These tests will be administered to all students attending public or private schools in all U.N. Countries beginning 2 years after this bill is passed. These test will be given every months on June 15th – 20th and January 15th through 20th.

Individual Student Passing standards
2.) The passing standard for these tests will be 70% correct and up will be a pass and 64% correct and below will be a fail. Students that fail these tests will receive extra assistance in class based on the following

60%-69%- a remedial class taking place a schools discrepancy. However the student must retest at the next available test date scheduled.
40%-59%- assisted learning taking place at least once a week w/ a specialist in the subject that was failed.
40% and below- students will be placed in a special education teachers class room for the entire week of every school year.

** These consequences are liable to subsequent change pending on the needs of the student.**

Consequences for failing schools:
Schools that fail to have the average of all their students scores at 70% will first be place on a warning list and will be again revisited one year from the fail year. If the school fails again the next year, funding to that school must be raised within six months of the second fail. If the school continues to fail subsequent times an investigation must be pursued in to teachers teaching methods. Also all teachers in that school will go through a weekly teaching course that will last the duration of the year.

These measures will adequately keep our children’s minds learning and raise the education standard of all children. I've got to wonder about section 2 there, what happens if someone scores between 69% and 65%?

- However, there are some countries that should NOT have nuclear programs, and this poses as a threat to everyone in the UN and not in the UN.

- With that being said, I ask that the UN bring this topic to order and allow governments of the world to decide for themselves what they want to do for world security.

- 1. We increase spending in our military budgets, so that we may develop a way to defend against a nuclear attack.

- 2. We allow those who can get their hands on nuclear weapons, and have no preparation for when they want to or if they want to attack an innocent country! - I for one am not ready to let that happen.

III. Any country developing nuclear weapons must have at least one nuclear powerplant providing power to a major city.
IV. Any country that has nuclear weapons must report them to the UN and open their country to inspection at any time.
V. If a country fails to report to the UN and is found in possession of such weapons, their UN membership is revoked.
VI. A country must be established for at least one week before pursuing nuclear weapons programs, thus preventing strike and quiters.
VII. Non-UN members with nuclear arsenals are not affected by this proposal, but may be subject to attack if an unfounded attack is made on a UN country.

This proposal evens out the playing field for smaller countries ,militarily speaking, and provides at least one source of power to that country's people.Let's see: Clause I duplicates Resolution #109, clause II attempts to force the removal of UN nations, clauses III and IV are legal, Clause V again attempts to force the removal of UN members, clause VI is just stupid,and clause VII appears to be an attempt to affect non member nations.:rolleyes:

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: Williamchaisb

Description: General Assembly

Aware of the fact that the general public is more vulnerable to natural disasters and that poor and socially undeveloped group in developing countries are the primary victims of the natural disasters,

Aware also that pre-calamity resource management helps in the recovery process following natural disasters and that education of the ill effects of natural disasters helps to reduce the damage caused by natural disasters,

Recalling that the World Conference on Natural Disaster Reduction, convened by the General Assembly in May, 1994 found that during the previous three decades, the number of significant natural disasters and the number of people affected by them have steady and rapidly increased,

Realizing that the Disaster Warning Network reduces the damage of natural disasters through alerting the population of an imminent disaster,


1. Asks the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) to ensure that minimal time elapses between the occurrence of the natural disaster and the arrival of help through means such as:
a. planning operations ahead of time in order to make relief operations easier to implement through means such as:
i. making need assessments to identify what resources and what kind of help would be most needed,
ii. planning a set of procedures for each type of disaster that can be followed through rapidly,
iii. going over the set of procedures with people in charge to ensure familiarity with the tasks, and contacting each nation in question for approval,
b. encouraging all countries to form regional blocs with neighbouring countries when possible in order to allow help to arrive within the shortest amount of time
c. promoting the establishment of non-government organizations (NGOs) and community-based think-tanks to research and predict the damage that might be caused by natural disasters
d. suggesting all member-states to build international stations across the world by international standards in order to notify the UN in the event of a natural disaster and coordinate relief efforts through means such as:
i. building stations that have radio connections to each other to enable rapid communication,
ii. ensuring that these stations are not in locations that would make them likely to be destroyed,

2. Proposes that the general public be educated through mass media such as television, radio, brochures, billboards, and lectures by governments and NGOs on topics such, but not limited to:
a. the purpose and use of resources in preparation for an unforeseen natural disaster such as the Emergency Alert System that uses modern communications technology, which features:
i. multiple alerting sources;
ii. remote operations;
iii. targeting of specific area message encoder capabilities,
b. the familiarization with mitigation activities,
c. safety measures to take before and during a natural disaster,

Hmmm...don't spend on your military. Spend it on something at home. It's not really illegal, just really hard to implement. Your military cap is 75% of whatever you're spending now. That means my Black Berets all get dismissed. No thanks.

Aside from the RL reference, what the hell is "h" and why are we having an international cooperation on it?
-urricanes, probably.

Not a bad proposal, but it probably falls under the remit of the Natural Disaster Act anyway.

Sporting Weapons Lisencing act

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: Gigeria

Description: To reduce the risk of sporting firearms or civilian modified military weapons from being stolen/ misused to endanger human life this act would -

A- require all owners of sporting weapons to acquire a firearms and ammunition License (FAL) stating that:
1) they have suitable storage locations for ammunition and weapon(s)
2) that they suffer from no of the following - multiple personality disorder, psychotic disorders, aggression problems or any history of weapons misuse

B- set up the firearms and ranging authority (FRA), which will require:
All shooting ranges or shooting estates and pass a security, qualifications and first aid test (SQUAFAT) every six months to maintain security, qualifications for range officers and reduce risk to human life in the event of an emergency.

C- all owners of a FAL must have all purchased ammunition account for, into the following categories:

1) Usable but yet unfired
2) Fired
3) Unusable

All ammunition in categories 2 and 3 is to be collected in a secure vessel and during the SQUAFAT to be handed to the FRA for counting to be destroyed.

If ammunition is found to be missing from ranges during their SQUAFAT, the range will be investigated by the FRA and if found to be failing in their duties to secure ammunition:

In the first instance, be fined £300 (or equivalent in local currency) per round unaccounted for.

And

In the second instance the range shall be closed and all weapons and ammunition shall be confiscated and destroyed.

D- civilians will not be able to fire weapons with a caliber higher than 5.56mm (standard NATO assault rifle round), but military organizations such as cadet forces may still use such weapons

E- prohibit civilians from using or owning any working fully automatic/ burst capable weapons, civilians may still own semi automatic weapons, civilians who wish to keep weapons that are fully automatic/burst can have then converted to semi automatic by the FRA for free. Military organizations such as cadet forces may still use such weapons.

F- prohibit civilians from owning any weapon for the purpose of self defense, and therefore, any civilian who owns a weapon that can fire rounds, and possesses rounds of the correct caliber, without using them for shooting on ranges, must hand the ammunition in to the FRA be destroyed. Also, the owner of the weapon must have a suitable range to fire the weapon, otherwise, the weapon will be confiscated and destroyed by the FRA, as the weapon has no purpose in being fired, except to endanger human life.

Exceptions: the following will be exempt from the above act:

Military forces, but not military organizations such as cadet forces.

Collectors of firearms that are no longer in use/ have been disabled or that do not use a bullet firing system (such as muskets).

Collectors must not own any category 1 (see above, C-) ammunition, which in the event of misuse/theft, could be fired from such weapons. They may keep drill rounds (rounds without an explosive charge, and therefore cannot be fired), and rounds of a caliber that cannot be fired from such weapons.

Ok, at first I thought this proposal might be something worth looking into. Until I got to "F-" and saw that this was really nothing more then another gun ban proposal lacking any logic or common sense.

Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Eurasian ingsoc

Description: The Geneva Conventions consist of four treaties formulated in Geneva, Switzerland, that set the standards for international law for humanitarian concerns. The conventions were the results of efforts by Henri Dunant, who was motivated by the horrors of war he witnessed at the Battle of Solferino in 1859. In 1977 and 2005 three separate amendments, called protocols, were made part of the Geneva Conventions. We have Geneva Conventions?

Strength: Strong


Proposed by: YMYMYMY

Description: In the pursuit of World Peace, I beg you all to vote YES and make every country forced to have elections with candadates that the people choose and that all things go to referandum.Illegal, idealogical ban.

Repeal "Common Sense Act II"

Argument: Although the intensions of this resolution are extremely good and most would agree with it´s goal, it violates the national sovreignity of every country in nationstates.

National legislators must be the ones who decide what criminal and/or civil lawsuits are, as it states in reaolution #30: "...idiotic..."

The U.N. cannot take it upon itself to tell sovereign nations what laws to pass.
Only a national sovereignty argument.

The Right to Disarm
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Community Property

Description: We, the People of these United Nations, in recognition of the desire of people everywhere for peace, declare that all Member Nations shall enjoy the right to be free of armaments.

I. No Member Nation shall be required to maintain armed forces of any kind, nor to maintain arms of any kind, in any quantity.

II. No Member Nation shall be required to force its citizens into arms.

III. No Member Nation's may demand military service of anyone save its own citizens.

IV. No Member Nation shall be required to furnish armed forces to another Nation, nor to any group of Nations, nor to these United Nations, unless it should agree to do so through a voluntary compact.
Category violation: it doesn't do anything.

Repeal "UN taxation ban"
Proposed by: Communist Dutchssia

Description: UN Resolution #4: UN taxation ban (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: COMMENDING the resolution's abboltion of infair taxation by the UN.

ACKNOWLEDGING the right of the population of each UN member nation to be free from unfair taxation by the UN.

CONCERNED at the generalization of the resolution.

PROPOSING that the resolution be altered to the effect that citizens of UN member states can be taxed by the UN, but only if the money is used for a mutually beneficial cause (eg. building passenger railways or bridges that can cross seas to reach other countries).

EMPHASISING that the money collected from UN taxation may not be used for a cause that harms any nations population, economy, etc (eg. the placement of an unwanted UN military presence, a blockade, trade sanctions, etc)
Amendments are verboten.

I think you mean strength violation. And what you said about MPA and stuff. I honestly blanked on the name of the bill, which makes it a bit harder to find

I think you mean strength violation.
No, I mean category violation. Nothing in the proposal even suggests a reduction of military or police spending. You cannot write a proposal that simply says "nations have the right to (not) do x" - that is why Euthanasia Legality Convention was deleted, why all my blockers are criticised for "pushing an agenda", and so on.

Ah. I was combining your two statements: 'Category Violation' and 'it doesn't do anything' into a single phrase.

Proposed by: Chyest

Seems someone can't tell the difference between a statement of principal, and a mandating clause. Anyway, I think this is illegal because it is trying to repeal only one line, and not the whole thing.

Considering which reso this wants to repeal, the arguement is both offensive and frightning.

Sounds like it to me.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Arklatex

Description: Resolved:

The U.N. endorses and proposes that member nations individually adopt legislation based on the following resolution:

"Any person who runs for public office who spends more on his or her electoral campaign than the office pays in salary will be declared OFFICIALLY CORRUPT and instead be incarcerated for a length of time equal to the length of the term of the office they had sought election to."

Anyone who seeks a non-paying post is thereby barred from spending any money in an election.

This resolution is intended to foster a proper sense of respect for both the electorate and governmental positions in member states. Throwing career politicians into jail instead of office should have a deterrent effect on the lazy, dishonest and corrupt, and proper enforcement should eventually draw out 'normal' citizens willing to hold public office and maintain democratic institutions in the manner intended.Boy, this will screw over any nation that has zero administration spending.

Description: Burning gases to make cars go creates coal emmissions.
We should use nuclear power batteries because they aren't bad for the environment and they hold much more energy. Nuclear batteries good for the environment. Has the author never heard of nuclear waste?

Well I'm more concnered about this:
Burning gases to make cars go creates coal emmissions.

Sounds like a bad answer to a grade 3 science question.

No, silly! Everybody knows that coal comes from burning gasoline!

No, I mean category violation. Nothing in the proposal even suggests a reduction of military or police spending. You cannot write a proposal that simply says "nations have the right to (not) do x" - that is why Euthanasia Legality Convention was deleted, why all my blockers are criticised for "pushing an agenda", and so on.It was in fact deleted as illegal, although I'm not sure that's a matter of style. I saw Sections III and IV as hard prohibitions, but I'll not argue it.

I think I'm going to have to hold back on writing proposals for a while. I can't seem to find a style that works.

We have Geneva Conventions?

Nope no Geneva convention. I though we had a Jenvoa Convention thou

Sounds like it to me.

Boy, this will screw over any nation that has zero administration spending.

Actually, he's right. A Radioisotope thermoelectric generator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTG), which produces energy by radioactive decay rather than fission, won't have any hazardous waste, because (a) it's just alpha particles that don't really harm anything and (b) you'll use all of the power before it goes dead, so the waste wouldn't be radioactive. (Not 100% about this, but I'm pretty sure.)
