This one makes the illegal hat trick. Plus it is just plain silly. Getting 120 delegates to approve something is hard enough. Finding 1000 would be near impossible.

Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Athroa

Description: RECOGNIZE that is the right of all nations to decide whether or not they wish to practice capital punishment when the crime fits.

RECOGNIZE that taxpayers should not have to pay for the lifelong imprisonment of inmates who are without the option of parole. If an inmate is going to spend their entire lives imprisoned without the opportunity to gain their freedom back, they should be put to death for isolating a member of a society from the rest of it's peers is a far more cruel punishment then simply putting the person for human beings are social animals.

RECOGNIZE that the tax dollars used to pay for all inmates that will die imprisoned to begin with could be better used for welfare and infrastructure.

Justice cannot be served to the public when lifelong inmates are getting better opportunities and better care then even citizens that live below the poverty line. Tax dollars should not be wasted upon inmates that will only die in prison in the first place when those dollars could be used to help those in need and for bettering the nation's economic structure. It's been done.

Resolution: #4


Proposed by: Nercer

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

Argument: The UN ,like other governments of the world, needs large amouts of money to properly function. The UN has peace keeping forces all around the globe, and funding an armed force costs a lot of money.
If the UN could take small amounts of money from all member states, the money would quickly add up and the UN could greatly benifet from this money.We have peacekeeping forces?

Argument: The second part of this Resolution says that it can be overridden if it is morraly hurtful or wrong, but it does nor give any specifics on what is morrally wrong or not so I propose that this resolution be revised in order to inclyde more specifc facts!!!Apparently the author never stopped to think that the definition of "morraly hurtful or wrong" might be different in each nation.

Why do we need a JCS (whatever that acronym is supposed to stand for as the proposal never says) when we can't have any sort of military for them to command?

Category: Human Rights


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Hallowlands

Description: Alarmed by the fact that there are 2200 thousand people in the world who are victims of discriminative acts which affect their freedom,

Considering that the United Nations are based on the principles of the dignity and the inherent equality of all the human beings, and that all members have committed to take measures to cooperate to defend these rights,

Alleging that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, and that every civillian has the rights enunciated in the the same one without any distinction

Affirming that the existence of racial barriers is incompatible with the ideals of the whole human society,

Mentioning that the United Nations have condemned the colonialism and all discriminative practices,

Observing with serious concern that in spite of the efforts of the international community, the main objectives of the three Decades of Fight against the Racism and the Racial Discrimination have not been achieved,

Also recognizing the challenges and the opportunities that a globalized world presents in connection with the fight to eradicate the racism, the racial discrimination, the xenophobia and the related forms of intolerance,

Encourages the Nations of the world to unite themselves to contribute to the eradication of the racism, xenophobia, racial discrimination and other related forms of intolerance, recognizing that this is the only way toward the consolidation of the social state and the world peace;

Considers high-priority and fundamental to declare illegal and to prohibit the organizations, as well as the organized activities and all other campaigns that promote or incite the racial discrimination, also recognizing that the participation in such organizations or activities constitutes a crime punished by the law;

Asks to all the States to fight against the manifestations of the migrants rejection and, and to opose actively to all the racist manifestations and acts that engender xenophobic behaviors and negative feelings;

Reaffirms the necessity to develop a particular ‘Study Case’ for each region, in order to include specific information about every civilization, to make the exchange of information with other nations easier;

Considers high-priority the creation of multilateral organisms to foment and to encourage the exchange of information in order to contribute to the eradication of the racism;

Intends to create educational new politics to achieve an education that inculcate respect for the Human Rights and respect the principle of social justness;

Concludes that we should mobilize our energies in order to promote a culture of peace among the human communities and in the centre of these, a culture of respect and of mutual tolerances, of freedom and ethnic coexistence that stimulates the development of pluralistic societies and opened up in the context of each nation. This one's in here because of the first line, "Alarmed by the fact that there are 2200 thousand people." Let's see 2200 thousand people equals 2.2 million, so why not just say 2.2 million and be done with it.

Beggers right for money
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Jausking

Description: Description: Beggars, for many reasons are living on streets, what i propose is that we give all beggars the right to demand at the maximum 50p(cents or whatever your natural homes money is) from every person that goes past.

Problems could occur from this such as people pretend to be beggers to get many money or beggars ask for to much money a day. So that is why i propose along with the beggars right to demand 50p is a score sheet so people can sign it. When they have been given more than 20 50p's a day the person has a choice to give money away or not.

The only problem is that Beggars may misuse the money. eg. drugs etc.

I also like how it implements a complex scorecard system to moniter who are real beggers, who are fake, and make sure they are getting their 50 cents.

Hehehe, fifty cent.

1)take guns off people with criminal records.
2)shoot people who are about to shoot someone else.
3)dont kill anything e.g.animals,people for no reason.You know, I can see one huge problem with clause 2.

Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: The Exiles of Britain

Description: In todays modern western world peoples are allowed to choose what is right and what is wrong according to their own views, although that this could be a good thing but in todays world being able to choose what is right and wrong with little interference from the state is changing the societies we live in to a darker one. therefore i propose we do the following:

I) All UN member states must endoctrinate the major religion of the country as well as their traditional cultures and believes into the children in order that the beliefs survive.

II) Ban all negative views and beliefs such as taking life for pleasure or religion, terrorism and anything that may cause a cultural divide in the community.

III) Confiscate all items that may encourage or help in the conducting of such activities.

IV) Expell from the country, execute or dispose of in another way of these negatives on society.Don't we have a religious freedom resolution that clause I probably contradicts. (and if you're reading this The Exiles of Britain, complain here, don't telegram me)

You know, I can see one huge problem with clause 2.

Person A is going to shoot person B. Person C sees person A and draws their gun to shoot person A. Then person D sees person C and pulls their gun. And I think you can see where this leads.

I also see a problem. What happens when police pull guns on someone? Does the average person have the right to shoot the officer with no punishment?

I can't remember what rule this breaks, but I know global currency resolutions are illegal.Not necessarily. It's just really, really hard to make 'em legal.

Proposed by: Ryonian Powers

Description: NOTICING that many UN citizens are afraid to fight back against criminals in fear of breaking the law.

PROPOSING more relaxed laws on self defense with the following laws:

* A citizen should be allowed to kill their attacker, but only if the attacker poses a life threatening risk to their victim, and only if the attack is unprovoked, such as violent muggings and robbery at gun-point. Note that this should only be a last resort, in the circumstance the attacker is unable to be detained or arrested by authorities.

* Citizens should be able to carry licensed weapons in public as long as they maintain an orderly practice in public. The weapons may very from hand-to-hand to firearms, depending on each nations firearm laws.

*A citizen should be allowed to kill intruders in their homes, but only 1 minute after a warning is issued to the intruder, with the intruder failing to flee the scene, and only if the intruder is physically able to escape.

UNDERSTANDING that these laws may seem extreme in more utopian and/or socialist societies.

HOWEVER incentive to lower crime and give freedom of justice to the citizens is a major issue and should be addressed in a manner s suggested above. Miscategorized.

What I like most is that the crappy free hosting website he put in this proposal is rife with advertising :p

ALARMED by the increasing state of global warming;

CONCERNED that continuing on the same path will lead only to global catastrophe;

DETERMINED to ensure that the United Nations recognizes this problem;

HEREBY enacts the following:

1. All member nations will take part in a brief, but noticeable absence of all non-essential power for a period of 15 minutes on a date to be agreed upon following the passing of this bill. Such a 15 minute absence of non-essential power will have a minimal effect on the individual entities lacking power, but will have a positive effect globally, relieving the overwhelming power demand for a short time period and increasing awareness for the growing problem our would faces.

Funny, it even has it's own little thread.

I really wish a lot of propositions were like this: only active for 15 minutes, then their effects dissappear. Nonetheless, this awareness proposal is only slightly superior to the Anti-Tony Act, given that it's legal.

These crude weapons should be outlawed for the following reasons:

1: They are a terribly cruel way for a Human being to die. A human is literally cooked.

2: these weapons would hardly be missed. There are less cruel ways to fight wars that are actually more effective.

3: they kill indiscriminately and it is difficult to control what exactly is hit often-times.

Description: UNDERSTANDING that freedom of religion is an entity held high by most member states

RESPECTING that those who make use of this right hold thier time of worship in the highest regard.

COMANDING that the government has no place seperating a man from his diety(or lack thier of), is unacceptable

but CONSIDERING that the government has a right to bring a man before justice.

The United Nations decree that all member states must not intrude on a place of worship which has been claimed sanctuary by the spiritual advisor of the facility. This however, will only withstand for a maximum of seventy-two hours. In this time, no government agent shall make any pervasive manuevors. At the end of this seventy two hour period, the individual must leave the sanctuary peacefully. If he does not, he will be assumed guilty, therefore a criminal, and will then(depending on the state in question) no longer be subject to the rights of a citizen.

(If any member nation has suggestions to improve this act, please contact Samsom)I like the last line.:D

An argument could be made that isn't really, but not for a badly worded resolution like that.

Yes of course, the proposal is as you say. Yet would you concede as a Mod that the 'Social Justice' category for proposals places to some extent the right to social support and to a degree income equality as above ideological preference in some way? And opens the door for social policies or the like which would be defined as not ideological in nature?

I mean the 'A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.' wouldn't be their for a good reason, would it not?

Of course, but there's a difference between addressing social inequality and attempting to outlaw capitalism in favor of... well... whatever his flavor of communism is. Quite a few SJ Resolutions have passed without having any problems of banning things.

Thanks for that smarty, what I was referring to is the 'Social Justice' resolution category which as the Mod conceded to some degree, places 'A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare. - A socialist policy' as above the idealogical rule in NSUN, otherwise it would not exist as a category. So that itself sets a precedent that socialist policy is not subject to the ideological ban on UN resolution as established in the rules.

A socialist policy' as above the idealogical rule in NSUNAs policies are not the same thing as bans, I really don't see what you're trying to get at. The Social Justice category is just as restricted by the Ideological Ban rules as every other category; your (aparently) jaundiced view of capitalism not withstanding.

Requiring states to pay, those out of work a sum of money no less than 1/2 the income of their previous employment in order to help maintain the standards of living enjoyed whilst previously in work.

Requesting states to provide a system of public works when unemployment in the economy reaches levels that are detrimental to economic activity and development. OK, so under this if a CEO who made $400,000 a year is fired he'll then get paid $200,000 by the governement.:rolleyes:

Description: As time moves on, Gun Control Laws are becoming more popular with different nations. But what does this do for the common man. How are they supposed to protect theirselves if they are without a weapon.

- Guns provide protection for the citizens
- Takes some work off local law enforcement
- Gives law enforcement time to handle more pressing matters

Join the Dominion of Whiggy...eventually we can get rid of Gun Control all together.
For a bizarre moment we thought this was going to propose the control of loose guns. Sadly not, and would not the last sentence constitute branding?

I think the Water Conservation one is one of the rare resolutions that garners no endorsement, not even from WZ Forums, or its creator, who is a delegate. It's shameful when you can't support your own work.

I see no reason why Soviet Britain's 'Unemployment Insurance' resolution is illegal, it's good policy imo.

I see no reason why Soviet Britain's 'Unemployment Insurance' resolution is illegal, it's good policy imo.

It's not, but it is a silly idea, for example, if a CEO who made $400,000 a year gets fired, then under that idea the government must pay him $200,000 a year, which id stupid as no one needs $200,000 a year to survive.

ALARMED that differences in currency across the globe causes difficulties in trade and commerce, and creates barriers to commerce;

Non-Binding War Resolution

Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Sorvadia

Description: WHEREAS the numerous unjust wars which threaten world security can only be sustained by the forbearance of this body;

WHEREAS the intensification of these wars has resulted in widening international violence with little or no hope of peaceful settlement;

WHEREAS substantive action by this body against these wars maximizes the possibility of common welfare;

WHEREAS the incalculable victims of these wars justifies the interference of this body;

WHEREAS the continuance of these wars is damaging to the interest of the world and this body;

WHEREAS the persistence of these wars compromises the ability of this body to perform its essential functions:

NOW, therefore, be it resolved by the United Nation General Assembly that it is the conviction of this body that-

(1) it is not in the interest of the United Nations to allow the escalation of these wars;

(2) the primary objective of United Nations should be to have political leaders make the political compromises necessary to end the violence;

(3) greater international support should assist political leaders in these aims; and

(4) the United Nations should pressure warring nations to develop an internationally sponsored peace and reconciliation process.

NOTWITHSTANDING these resolves, it is the determination of this body that this resolution be non-binding and powerless to enact any consequential change to the expressed situation.

You can't write a proposal and then say that member nations can pretty much ignore resolution.

Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: Canadian Unions

Description: Today I am Bringing up the Subject of the impending danger to the people of earth. The three main topics is the melting of the polar caps, Galactic Collision, and Meteors. That is why I am asking to increase funding to the educational system of the world so that we may find a way to stop the impending threats.
1. The polar ice caps are an important Habitat to creatures like Polar Bears, Penguins, and certain species of seals. Also the polar caps melting could raise sea levels by 23 ft. which would destroy any major current coastal operations including the retrieval of precious oil and other valuable minerals.
2. Galactic Collision is another very real threat. Though not proven it is believed by many Scientists that soon the Andromeda Galaxy will Collide with our own Milky Way Galaxy. This is a threat because when the two Galaxy's collide the magnetic field will de-stabilize the magnetic field and the planets will shoot around randomly.
3. Meteors are also a threat to the planet earth. Scientists and Astronomers have proven that by the year 2057 a meteor big enough to wipe out the entire Human race as we know it. This is one of the most Dangerous threats to mankind.
So I urge you to support me when I say we need to increase the funding and the amount of personnel put into findig a solution to these problems.

It only appears to be non-threatening. Notice the blue eyes. It's... the Kwisatz Haderach!Looks like he has worms.:p

Anyway, I thought Muad'Dib was a mouse. That's a cat.

2. Galactic Collision is another very real threat. Though not proven it is believed by many Scientists that soon the Andromeda Galaxy will Collide with our own Milky Way Galaxy. This is a threat because when the two Galaxy's collide the magnetic field will de-stabilize the magnetic field and the planets will shoot around randomly.
"Soon" meaning "in about two to four billion years" and the galactic magnetic field is... well... non-extant, really. That and planets are magnetically neutral, so it's not like a magnetic field will have them shooting every which way like toy magnets.

Maybe he means gravitation? At which point the gravitational influence of Sagittarius A* on Earth is pretty close to nil, compared to the Sun, and so another galaxy with its supermassive black hole will add nil to nil and, on the star system level, maybe influence things enough to destabilize them a few million years faster than normal.

This is of course assuming the planetary system remains stable for the next two to four billion years, which remains to be seen.

Proposed by: Jausking

Description: Dear great nations,

For many years crime has affected almost all our countries and for many years most of our armies have gone weak. This proposal is a solution to both problems.

First off a little background on crime for those who don't know. Crime punishments are based on 3 major factors.

Protect the public.
Deter criminals
Justice (revenge.)

Now onto the army. If you join the army with no degree you are a "grunt." To become a officer i believe you have to have a degree or do extremely well as a grunt aka promotion.

My proposal is this,

All criminals who commit the offense murder will be put on the front line (in the army). If the are innocent then hopeful this will be enough time to find the evidence to clear their name, as for the guilty... lets just say they will honor their country. Yes this is like the death penalty except death is not certain and they will be making our armies larger.Illegal, contradicts Fair Sentencing Act.

Doing this would reduce the amount of drug dealers, gang members and full out control the on going war on crime and terror.

This is of course assuming the planetary system remains stable for the next two to four billion years, which remains to be seen.Especially since I'm pretty sure the sun is supposed to go red giant (thus engulfing the inner solar system) well before the galactic collision.

Edit: Maybe not. Looks like it'll be a tie.

Not to mention that galaxies collide all the time and it's no big deal really. Sometimes they hardly even notice it. And the last time I checked gravity tended to be a more important force than magnetism. And ... oh well forget it; too many catgirls died as a result of someone even attempting to submit that piece of sci fi manure.

If a citizen who has committed one or more violent crimes would suffer a penalty of 5-10 years in prison depending on how many firearms they own, and how many crimes they've committed.

If a citizen transports weaponry overseas will be submitted before a jury and if found guilty spend 10 years in a federal prison.

Citizens would not be able to own assault rifles, mac10's, AK-47's etc.
If a citizen did own one of these weapons they would suffer a $1,500 fine and 2-4 years imprisonment.
Those weapons if owned by citizens would taken away from the citizen's.Why US dollars? Why Specify a value - 500 (insert coinage here) could be an hours wage or a years wage depending on the country.

I have reason to belive gambling in the UN should be for not only respected members of the Un but also every nation in the world, outlawed and banned.Wait just a minute here.

It is a hex on our society. It gives children reason to participate in crimes and teaches them the evil of the world. If we could not ban gambling, then we should at least outlaw it from children. It is an unwanted evil and needs to be stopped. Besides all it does is make outer parties rich while the government does not receive any funding from these revenues.Apparently the author's nation has never thought of taxing the casinos.

Tier Trade

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: The Shrewd

Description: For many nations, the import/export business seems a high percentage of a nation's gross income, but, ties between many nations may be different in relation to one another whereas, one nation may be privileged in agreement with another and trade freely with them, while another nation of lesser favor may be charged unwittingly high fees and taxes for equal product and or service which leads to a consortium of difficulties between nations on uneven ground in the trading market.
Recognizing that competition is necessary in the upward-mobility of business and the success of a trading nation, it is the responsibility of the UN to uphold equality between nations. For this I propose a bar on all international trade fees and taxes to be replaced by a flat trade tier system where:
Companies within a nation trading small goods and services be charged a total of 4% per Gross trade income to be split, 2% to receiving nation, 2% to nation of origin.
Companies within a nation trading resources and commodities IE Petroleum product, Chemical/industrial, and or mineral be charged 12% per gross trade income split, 6% to receiving nation, 6% to nation of origin.
Companies within a nation trading agricultural or food service goods which is also to include ALL pharmacudicals to be charged only 2% split.
Other products such as technologies, automotive, and large freight be categorized as such and be charged 10% per gross trade income split between nation of origin and nation of receipt.
It is in my belief that such a resolution would foster trade growth between nations, implement a fair trade agreement among all UN Nations, and would generally be acceptable to all nations as it is beneficial to both the product's nation of origin and the products nation of receipt.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #4


Proposed by: Endless Delirium

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

Argument: CONCERNED that in times of crisis, the UN is unable to mobilize resources in a speedy and efficient manner.

REPEAL current taxation ban due to the lack of detail.

PROPOSAL TO RETAIN BAN with following ammendments:

A) The UN shall not be allowed to collect taxes directly unless member nations/regions pass internal resolutions granting UN access to perform such acts.

B) It is entirely in the discretion of member nations/regions to approve or discontinue UN taxation activity within the nation/region.

C) The UN is only allowed, under the circumstances of global war, pandemics, or equivalent crises(to be determined by delegates when such occurences take place), to propose to member nations for an added UN tax.

UNDERSTANDING that every sovereignty can inject money into the UN bank at their pleasure. An approved tax grants consistency in the event of a long term crisis.
Amendments are illegal, so I imagine "ammendments" are too. Also, attempting to introduce new legislation via a repeal.

We will be able to find much more drug smuggles, We can stop
rampaging idiots with their stun guns. With more security we
can stop people from stealing stuff from the stores. Top line metal detectors can almost never go wrong. The cams will be able to capture the thief or offenders, with good pictures. This can help alot!

Thank you alot.

Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Nontolerance

Description: This resolution's purpose is to limit crime rates and protect other nations abiding within the confines of a particular region.
The following are the most outstanding points of this proposal:

a.) A compulsory increase in income tax rate of 5% in every nation in order to hire more security forces and update technologies involved in civil protection.

b.) Post military platoons in major industrial cities to prevent major riots and moral indecencies from occuring.

c.) After an increase in soldier power, an increase in naval and aerial powers to defend the nation at land, at water, and in the air for overall protection.

d.) An agreement between all members of a region to take 1/4 of a nation's soldiers, and place them into a broad group of defense to protect the region from foreign based attacks.

e.) Agreement to this increase in local and regional budget for overall protection, would allow United Nations delegates to call upon other regions of the UN during a time of crisis, in terms of manpower, technology, and financial aid.

f.) Finally, to aid in the cracking down on illegal gambling and actions of different colts, an increase in police forces in "hot spots," where illegal activity is reportedly occurring. Along with an increase of surveillance devices in places of monetary transactions and private industries.

This resoultion ultimately ensures a safer world community through the United Nations and a safer lifestyle for whichever type of government in a nation, due to increased military, police, and surveillance spending. Uh let's see, clause 1 violates game mechanics due to it's specific percentage of tax increase, clause e could be construed as creating a UN military, any thing else I missed?

Repeal "Stop privacy intrusion"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #10


Proposed by: Griegsland

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

Argument: RECOGNIZING that, any Government wether or not the Government is in the UN has the right to listen in on it's citizens due the current state of mind of the world;

WISHING to Repeal UN Resolution Number 10 which states:

"We feel alarmed by the increasing intrusion of privacy by the governments in the world. Therefore, we propose that legislation is passed by each UN member that all personal communication, including, but not limited to:

face-to-face conversations, mail, telephone, radio, LAN and Internet

shall NOT be intercepted by the government, unless there is serious evidence of a planned or committed crime. This evidence shall be reviewed and approved by the Judiciary before eavesdropping, phone tapping, network traffic monitoring, and other kinds of interception of communications is allowed.";

The General Assembly of The United Nations:

1 - DECLARES it a right the Government to use any means neccesary to obtain information on it's OWN citizens, including, but not limited to: Wire Taps, Shadowing, interrogations, photography, interception of one's mail, listening in on one's radio conversations, network traffic monitoring, etc.;

2 - MANDATES that member nations are NOT to use FORCEFUL means of obtaining information other than those specified;

3-SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTS from that mandate, government officials, citizens of other nations, and non-member nations.

4 - STRONGLY ENCOURAGES member nations to NOT spy on their Citizens unless they percieve that there may be an uprising against the government, a terrorist cell active, or crime investigations.

5 - EMPHASIZES the nullification of UN Resolution Number 10.

Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Pianos and Politics

Description: AWARE that many nations do not practice the extremities of immorality in education;

CONCERNED about the children and teenagers subjected to the schools of the few nations that do practice or allow such immorality in schools, including R-rated movies shown in the classroom, the permission of a student's wearing revealing or exposing attire, and other such greivances;

BELIEVING it to be the duty of the higher governing power of the United Nations to correct such offenses;

STRONGLY EXHORTS member nations to establish such necessary and appropriate moral standards within the school system for the betterment of the students enrolled therein, and the overall betterment of the youth as a whole.You know, for being a "strong" resolution, this sure doesn't do a whole lot. I mean it, "strongly exhorts" which is nothing more than saying, "we'd really really really like you to do this."

The Use of Torture
...is already covered by the Universal Bill of Rights. Thorougly. If you're human, which is all this proposal covers anyway.
Recommends the establishment of a new UN body, the UNDMEUT, the UN organisation for the detection, monitoring and elimination of the use of torture, which can in conjunction with member states, enter individual countries and conduct standard proceedures decided upon by the Security Council;
It's nice of the resolution to recommend a committee to us, but frankly we'd rather it either created the committee or not.

Clean air bill

Description: in order to protect the enviroment we need to look at ways of cutting the production of pollution causing materials. all nations need to look at a way to force all facttories to cut back on the use of any earth polluting materials that they use. if not in the next 50 years we will have nothing but polluted properties and dirty air. all of our kids will be born with illnesses if we don't take control of this.
Does this resolution do anything apart from fail at spelling, grammar and punctuation?

Repeal "UN Space Consortium"
So good they named it thrice. Or something.

Fuel Cost Act
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong

Description: Acknowledging the ever increasing price of fossil fuels with increasing demand for them this resolution mandates that all UN nations sell all types of fossil fuel for free to low income families and keep the price for middle and upper class families under $1.75.

Furthermore this resolution mandates all UN nations who produce oil keep it under $35 a barrel.

Also if any business loses so much money they may go out of business the government of said nation will allow them to raise there prices and repeal their taxes untill said company has restructured to operate at a profit.

Lastly all business that sell fossil fuels will have 6 months to comply with this resolution from the date it is instated. If they do not by set date they will be forced to by the nations government.
By what stretch of anyone's imagination is this a Human Right? How many ceiniogs are there to the $ at the moment, we aren't particularly familiar with that currency? What price do classless socialist nations charge their families?

STATEMENT

There is a proven link between the low waged and the ownership of animals as companions and pets.

INTENT

It is our desire to provide an additional paid day of rest for our valued workers, and a recognition of the part that pets play in the wholeness and well being of the families of these workers throughout the world.


ACTION

We shall create an additional Bank Holiday, to be taken on the First Saturday in August of each year.

This Bank Holiday is to be named "Caturday" - when pets and their owners will be celebrated across the world.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Also, on this day, Funds and Programmes that support the Environment, Wildlife, War Veterans and Peace activists shall have the right to make collections in the cities of the World without obstruction, tax or permit for the benefit of all.

AGREEMENT

It is essential that the entertainment value, achievement, dedication and loyalty of our pets is given full recognition
by the creation of this day of celebration. And again, I don't think this is "Social Justice."

And again, I don't think this is "Social Justice."Actually, one could argue for that. Those paid days off have to be paid for somehow, after all.

OBSERVING that there is an increased amount of racial slurs, discriminational remarks, sexist remarks, and negatory remarks of a culture/way of life.

DECLARING that in the rights of human beings to obtain the pursuit of happiness humor must not be a free expressional right.

The United Nations must repeal the FREEDOM OF HUMOR proposal to secure a sence of decency among humans internationally. That it is unmoral to allow humor that discriminates against races, sexes, cultures, or any way of life because of the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. Many take that freedom too far. The freedom of expression allows you live your life any way you want to without being publicly or privately discriminated against. It does not, however, allow you to discriminate against your fellow humans through unmoral forms of humor.Next time, try the repeal category.

Argument: NOTING that religous tolerance is a noble ideal that tries to promote peace.

WHERAS this Resolution does not specify were "Religous Tolerance" is to be enforced.

THERFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE NS UN that a committe of scholars in the fields of sociology, the history of religion, and any other field neccessary to work with regional delegates to help control religious disputes in those regions.

WHEREAS Resolution #19 does not tell how we are to "fight differences of religion"

WHEREAS religions often differ from each other were religious tolerance is impossible such as when a liberal religion and a extremist religion can not always co-exist without physical violence, not because misunderstandings but because of refusing all other relgions but their own by their faiths tenets.

WHEREAS being rid of such "resistant" religions would negate the purpose of religious tolerance and religious freedom.

WHEREAS when total "resistant" religions are found we should designate areas and seperate cities to create or at least simulate peace.

Industry Affected: Uranium Mining


Proposed by: Hodgieland

Description: Deforestation is killing the envrionment and all the animals that thrive in it. The only way to stop this is to ban deforestation. It may halt unranium deposits, but it will help in the long run. Wouldn't a better way of banning deforestation be to have this proposal target the woodchipping industry?

Wouldn't a better way of banning deforestation be to have this proposal target the woodchipping industry?Why do you continually refuse to think of the uranium trees? :(

I know some people hate the metric system strongly, but it wouldn't hurt to give a good and concise reason. For better effect, use plain english so as many people as possible can understand.

The Metric system is based on base 10.

10mm=1cm-100cm=1m-1000m=1km
thus 100000cm=1km

It's so simple, why do people stil insist on loathing it?
...Anyways, point made, and now for something completely relevant:

A) Artistic Expression, even if it is explicit, demeaning, sexually provocative, politcally undermining, religiously slanted must be protected by law as freedoms of expression.

B) To avoid exploitation, it must be made compulsory for relevant industry leaders to fully document the involvement of any second or third party participants in whatever artistic work that proves that there is no coercion or exploitation.

C) Governments are to be barred from approving or rejecting artistic proposals of any form. Independent and private boards are to be set up to monitor the art industry from the day this bill is passed.

Stupidly gives way to much power to artists. Fails to define anything, and clause B is almost illegible it makes so little sense. I'm sure it contradicts soemthing somwhere, too.

Why is it all these things I feel so passionatly about are always represented by shiatty proposals (including some of my own crappy submissions)?

It's so simple, why do people stil insist on loathing it?Change baaaaaaaad. Besides, it's a silly system and just as artificial as the Imperial scale.

Description: This resolution hereby mandates that a Bidet be placed in every bathroom which currently uses toilet paper. The paper shall be removed following the installation of the Bidet.

Save the trees. Remove toilet paper from all bathrooms, and make people utilize the eco-friendly French invention known as the Bidet. It washes your backside clean without paper waste!:rolleyes:

Sadly, without the second part, it'd be a legal Enviro Proposal.

Change baaaaaaaad. Besides, it's a silly system and just as artificial as the Imperial scale.

Actually, the Metric system is a lot more artificial the the Imperial System. For example, every system of measurements used historically have a measurement that is roughly the size of something a human can comfortably see in it's entirity when held at arms length (in Imperial, it's a foot). Except metric. Metric measurements, as I have previously discussed, are useless and completely impractical for the purposes of navigation, which is why ships and aircraft use nautical miles.


Anyway, back to silly proposals...

For example, every system of measurements used historically have a measurement that is roughly the size of something a human can comfortably see in it's entirity when held at arms length (in Imperial, it's a foot). Man is the measure of all things. :p

Proposed by: South Lorenya

Description: Throughout history, some not-so-democratic nations have suffered from elections where the party in power used its muscles to unfairly influence elections. Need I mention the Rat-Tat-Tat Republic's 1966 elections, marked by the incumbent's "A vote against me is a vote against your life expectancy!" campaign? And let's not even get started on the Sluggybunbun fiasco of 1972 where a law limited ballots to one candidate and gave the incumbent priority!

Therefore, I propose that the UN send investigators to all nations rated as "below average" or worse in Political Freedom to make sure that elections there are held fairly, free from undue influence, and be given the power to veto any elections influenced through fear.Illegal, only affects certain nations.

Proposed by: Jeihskville

Description: Aim: To make the use of sharing media files and data without proper payment or permission illegal.

Change:
A strong change in how the Internet is used.
-Illegal Internet sites will be shut down by police if violation of this rule happens. Some of these site owners may be given a large fine or prison sentence
-Anyone constantly using these illegal sites will be given a large fine.

Also:
No-one will be aloud to visit certain data without proper authorisation. Computer hacking is a very bad crime and the trouble maker may be given a fine.

Sending files to a country without these rules will result in an even stronger punishment, as they might find information they should not be aloud to know.

Finally:
If this act is passed, it will definitely make the music and video industries stronger, and the Internet much safer to use. The police and governments will be given more power to punish the criminals of these offences. The Dalmasdon Union reserves the right to search any other UN country if they suspect any violation of these rules. Illegal, branding, the last sentence contains the name of the author's region.

Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing


Proposed by: Father Turk

Description: Details of the agreement

According to a press release from the United Nations Environment Programme:

"The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement under which industrialised countries will reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990 (but note that, compared to the emissions levels that would be expected by 2010 without the Protocol, this target represents a 29% cut). The goal is to lower overall emissions of six greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, HFCs, and PFCs - calculated as an average over the five-year period of 2008-12. National targets range from 8% reductions for the European Union and some others to 7% for the US, 6% for Japan, 0% for Russia, and permitted increases of 8% for Australia and 10% for Iceland."

It is an agreement negotiated as an amendment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, which was adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992). All parties to the UNFCCC can sign or ratify the Kyoto Protocol, while non-parties to the UNFCCC cannot. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted at the third session of the Conference of Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan.

Most provisions of the Kyoto Protocol apply to developed countries, listed in Annex I to the UNFCCC.

Common but differentiated responsibility

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to a set of a "common but differentiated responsibilities." The parties agreed that

1. The largest share of historical and current global emissions of greenhouse gases has originated in developed countries;
2. Per capita emissions in developing countries are still relatively low;
3. The share of global emissions originating in developing countries will grow to meet their social and development needs.[8]

In other words, China, India, and other developing countries were exempt from the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol because they were not the main contributors to the greenhouse gas emissions during the industrialization period that is believed to be causing today's climate change.

However, critics of Kyoto argue that China, India, and other developing countries will soon be the top contributors to greenhouse gases. Also, without Kyoto restrictions on these countries, industries in developed countries will be driven towards these non-restricted countries, thus there is no net reduction in carbon.

Financial commitments

The Protocol also reaffirms the principle that developed countries have to pay billions of dollars, and supply technology to other countries for climate-related studies and projects. This was originally agreed in the UNFCCC.

Enforcement

If the Enforcement Branch determines that an Annex I country is not in compliance with its emissions targets, then that country is required to make up the difference plus an additional 30 percent. In addition, that country will be suspended from making transfers under an emissions trading program.[9If I'm not mistaken, this is just one big RL reference.

Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: Kryplakistan

Description: This resolution proposes the following mandatory reforms for all educational institutions whether they are public or private.

#1 Mandatory schooling 365 days of the year. Education is a continuous process and therefore needs to occur every day of the year without exception. Youth cannot become deliquent youth or illiterate youth if they are in school eight hours a day, 365 days a year.

#2 All school aged children will be defined as those youth aged 4-18 and will be fitted with tracking collars that will monitor school attendence and enforce anti-truancy laws. Upon their 19th year, students will then have the option of mandatory higher education or military service for four years before entering the work force.

#3 The curriculums and nature of the educational systems within each U.N. member nation is independentaly decided, but under these reforms must include: reading, writing, arithmatic, and vocational skills training.

#4 Teachers and educators will undergo developmental training not lasting less than eight years of post-collegiate, proffesional training. To reflect the professional status teachers will have upon completion of their specialized training, wages will increase by 50%.

#5 Funding for these reforms will come from each member nation's private sector as it is to the private sector's advantage to recruit from the new highly educated pool of future employees. There will be a mandatory contribution of 50% of each corporation's gross profit margin for the funding of their nation's educational reforms and the recruitment of future employeers graduated from the education system.

#6 As an incentive for UN member nation's compliance to these reforms, the most educated member nations should recieve a regular stipend from the least educated nations in violation of these reforms until they are in compliance. If no nation falls within the least educated category and meet the minumum standards for educational excellence, then they have nothing to worry about.

#7 To determine the bare minimum standards of a proper education, we propose the establishment of a U.N. committe on the measures and standards of World Education and Literacy. The commitee will establish the required levels of literacy and competency from which all member nations must comply for accredidation and productivity.

#8 For member nations that do not have a private sector or for those that outlaw corporations, religious institutions may be substituted and the educational focus may be then geared towards the furtherment of religious studies and theology while keeping in mind minumum standards as set by the commitee on World Education and Literacy must be met. In the event that a member nation is an atheist, non-corporate nation, the military will fund the reforms and have the rights to educate and recruit students for the purposes of mandatory military service. If they are going to have an army, it might as well be the best educated army. Does the author realize that under this proposal, sure the students don't get any vacation, but neither do the teachers.

Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: Emma-Marie

Description: Education should be funded for all, when taken to a higher level.
Regardless of a persons family income a loan should be given to the student. This loan should be around 6,000 for the year and out of this comes accomodation only. The rest is for living.
Bursaries should be given to all with family income of under 30,000, the only reason this is judged on income is that busaries are for the poor.
The loan given to all should be optional, if the student wishes to get in to the debt they may do.
The paying back of the loan will be subject to income when you leave and or finish your degree. If the student earns more than 10,000 a year it shall be paid back, but at however they wish to pay back, whether it be £1 a month or £100.
After ten years the loan will also become void. Anyone found to be deliberately avoiding paying back by staying at just under 10,000 will be punished. As this is written, it's kind of confusing.

Description: STATEMENT

There is a proven link between the low waged and the ownership of animals as companions and pets.

INTENT

It is our desire to provide an additional paid day of rest for our valued workers, and a recognition of the part that pets play in the wholeness and well being of the families of these workers throughout the world.


ACTION

We shall create an additional Bank Holiday, to be taken on the First Saturday in August of each year.

This Bank Holiday is to be named "Caturday" - when pets and their owners will be celebrated across the world.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Also, on this day, Funds and Programmes that support the Environment, Wildlife, War Veterans and Peace Activists shall have the right to make collections in the cities of the World without obstruction, tax or permit for the benefit of all.

Corporate business shall, compulsarily, match voluntary donations to these organisations from their own pre-tax profits.

It is essential that the entertainment value, achievement, dedication and loyalty of our pets is given full recognition
by the creation of this day of celebration.

What 'bout the people who don't have pets? Do they still have to work or do they get a free day?

Description: The teachers at all public and Catholic and private schools, Will have to teach sex at the grade level of five.
Micromanagement.
But not duplicating resolution 118 because of it. Not actually silly as such, we feel, even if the honoured representative disagrees with the sentiment.

Nonetheless, it would be illegal for contradicting UN Resolution #171.

Furthermore, a Bank Holiday promoting Pets. Isn't that a mismatch.Not at all. A Bank Holiday is a holiday where even the banks close. In America, we'd call it a Federal Holiday. It's pretty damn stupid, but not illegal.

And I wager even non-pet owners would get the day off. Atheists get Christmas off...

1. If a member state deems a foreign business too powerful, they reserve the right to end relations with said business.
2. If a majority of peasants feel oppression by any sort of business related happening or the like, that they are reserved the right to revolt and to ask for help from other nations.
3. If member state feels the need to increase upon this resolution, they reserve the right to do so.
4. Entities deemed as profiting even if they call themselves "non-profit" may also be subject to all regulations.
5. If a nation deems a profit organization as "harmful," they may subsidize or weaken it.

Proposed by: Bexel

Description:
The Tobin Tax is A TAX ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS.

A tiny amount (0.1%-0.25%) would be levied on all foreign currency exchange transactions to deter speculation on currency fluctuations.

While the rate would be low enough not to have a significant effect on longer term investment where yield is higher, it would cut into the yields of speculators moving massive amounts of currency around the globe as they seek to profit from minute differentials in currency fluctuations.

THE INTERNATIONAL INTRODUCTION OF THE TOBIN TAX WILL

1. REDUCE the volatility of exchange rates

2. REDUCE the power that financial markets have over national governments to determine fiscal and monetary policies.

3. RAISE revenue. The tax could generate important resources to support sustainable HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.Levying taxes is not Free Trade.

Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation


Proposed by: Fepro

Description: Since the Industrial age, the world has gone through major changes and also sacrificed a lot for it. Industries can also pollute quite a lot and that is affection the natural environment and habitat of the ecosystem and humanity that occupies this planet.

Alternatives are taking place to reduce the carbon emissions or sulphuric emissions but a major change needs to take place otherwise the temperature rates will go off chart, as well as the ozone layer will start dissapearing due to hazardous gases that the humans produce.

Coal mines, oil refineries, nuclear plants are one of the major installations that contribute to hazardous gases which also lead to acid rain and eventually kills trees as well as the damage of building and mettalic structures such as bridges.

Industries which are not taking action should be banned because the're not taking any actions to halt this enviromental issue, whereas they could also think of secondary options, making financial sacrifices, to sophisticate and improve the production as well as its waste should be recycled in a way that is unharmful to the environment.

Should companies start taking major actions towards the contributions to enviromnment to improvement and sacrifice major financial issues?Wrong category, should be environmental. (How the hell do you make that mistake?)

Unfortunately, that doesn't pass muster. It's still a violation of the Branding rules, and we're not going to set the precedent that 'mild' violations are fine.

It also appears that the proposal author has fallen into the usual trap of misinterpreting #4 as prohibiting any form of UN taxation. The UN can still collect funds from nations directly, they just can't tax citizens directly. That's sufficient reason for removal right there.

It is in fact quite valid if somewhat unusual English, where one would more commonly use "comprehend." The inverse confusion occurs in one of English's root-languages, Latin, where comprehendere primarily means "to apprehend" in it's more common sense of physically capturing someone or something. The physical and intellectual meanings most likely diverged over a great deal of time; and that, we suspect, is more than enough philology for one discussion.

This implanting would take place immediately following the passing of this resolution.

b.)Absorb the NDAO (formed by Resolution #100) and renames it the Department of Disaster Assessment (DDA).

d.)Judge whether a nation is qualified to receive aid and funds, how much, and move to expedite the process to assist the people of the affected nation.
e.)Respond to and distribute funds after a major disaster to affected nations in proper quantities.
f.)Support Resolutions #90 and #100 in their efforts, and establish fund to maintain their functions to keep them operational.

3. MANDATES nearby unaffected or lightly affected nations to aid heavily affected nations in recovery until international aid is available.

4. STRONGLY URGES nations to spare human resources to help governments maintain order in there nations, assist the government in establishing martial law or other planned procedures if need be, and assist the recovery of the nations infrastructure.Illegal, I believe.

Ban Blackjack

The game of chance known as "blackjack" and "21" is hereby prohibited throughout UN member nations. Too many people have been stabbed in the back, shot, and cheated by this corrupt game.

Area of Effect: Tort Reform


Proposed by: Greater Two Rivers

Description: In United Nations history, a multitude of resolutions have been passed that have hurt industry throughout the world. Whereas the member states recognize the aforementioned resolutions benefit the spread of democracy, human rights, and protection of the environment, it has also adversely effected the economies of developing states.

RECOGNIZING the current system has created an economic burden to developing member states wherein the states want to remain UN members yet are hurt monetarily by doing so. This has only increased levels of poverty in developing UN members, severely counteracting existing UN human rights law. Furthermore, developing states have become dependent on loans from industrialized nations to keep their economies afloat under UN guidelines.

BELIEVING that systematically removing anti-industrial resolutions to be a bureaucratic quagmire and a needless cycle of debate. Also believing the anti-industrial amendments to be wholly beneficial to the world in the long term...

PROPOSES to allow creditor states to set up debt forgiveness programs for developing states to eventually wean them out of poverty while at the same time developing industry that adheres to international law. The programs will be on a case by case basis to be set up between the debtor and creditor.

IN SUMMARY the proposed legislation will benefit industry worldwide, especially for fragile economies, by freeing states to use domestic product on their own industries instead of paying off foreign debt. These new industries will still maintain the environmental and human rights standards the United Nations has already created.We need a UN card that says, "This in not tort reform."

Furthernment of Democracy
International Sports Standards
Mild

This resolution proposes that for international sporting events that are held between U.N member states should be monitored by a United Nations committee that sets a standard with regards to safety of the players that take part in these international competitions and the use of religious or ceremonial items that might infringe upon another player’s personal safety within the sport field.

International sporting events are sporting events that occur more than one U.N member states and it brings together the best athletes within U.N member-states but also brings together ‘small-scale’ athletes that come to compete for fun or competition.

International sporting events that would fall under U.N member jurisdiction would include

Baseball*
Football/Soccer*
Cricket
Basketball*
Football (ii)
Skiing*
Hockey*

* - indicates that this is a sport that is associated to both men and women.

Recommends that religious objects and headdress, for instance, the Islamic head scarf, hijab and burka along with the Islamic and Hindu turbans and other religious items for other religious and ethnic communities that reside in U.N member-states and take apart in international sports events, be banned from the sports events above for the protection of the participant themselves and for other players on their team and on opposition teams.

Confirms that national U.N sports regulations apply to national and regional tournaments and sport events that take part with teams only from within the U.N member-state national boundary.

Complaints can be placed to a United Nations Sport Committee from players that want to wear their ‘religious or ethnic’ objects on the grounds that these ‘objects’ will not cause any physical harm to themselves and to other players. If they can not prove such evidence they will not be able to wear the ‘object’ and if they can, regulations would be updated by the United Nations Sports Committee.

Aside from being just plain stupid, it also fails to further Democracy. Not just fail, it hinders democracy. Brutal sporting events are the bread of the masses, used to distract peons as their leaders slowly take away their rights and freedoms. Anyone seen the origional Roller Ball?

One of the ways that The UN will be able to receive more funding is by taxing the citizens of member nations. Due to UN Resolution #4 this is not possible.

UN membership will do that to you. You are no longer the sole captain of your ship. Take a look at the huge difference between Cluichstan (non-member) and Cluichstani UN Mission (member).

EDIT: And and since you're relatively new here, I should probably explain that my UN mission was created out of necessity. Cluichstan was booted from the UN, because I submitted too many joke proposals (though the only one I can recall is the Midget Protection Act). My UN mission exists only so I can vote on UN proposals (and as a way for me to see what these resolutions we pass are actually doing in game terms). I roleplay Cluichstan as though it were still a UN member, however, bound by all UN resolutions and such, unless, of course, I can find some suitably silly RP way of wiggling around the ones I don't like. ;)

Description: UN Resolution #41: END BARBARIC PUNISHMENTS (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Rogue Nation of General DarkDust feels that torture is important in all forms of punishment. Sitting around in cells and reeducation are failing, as evident by the number of repeat criminals or "career" criminals.

Torture would be effective because the fear alone is a turn off to crime. Actual implementation of torture would reinforce this more so, lowering crime. If a crime is committed, extreme forms of punishment would ensure that the individual never again commit a crime. If death should happen, so be it. Crime will then be even lower.Illegal, branding.

Proposed by: Molten Robots

Description:
The Sun is plotting the violent destruction of the solar system with its infamous and well-known plan to expand into a Red Giant, one day obliterating the Earth and the other inner planets. It is essentially nothing more than a gigantic WMD (a hydrogen bomb). The Sun is also spewing dangerous radiation at the Earth ON PURPOSE--gamma radiation, UV, cosmic particles and X-rays, to name a few of the more egregious radiation attacks.

The Sun should be enslaved NOW, preemptively, before it has the opportunity to move forward with any more of its nefarious schemes.

Under this provision, a fleet of gigantic star cruisers will be constructed as part of the current UN space program and flown to the Sun, where the UN will surround this den of iniquity and demand its unconditional surrender. If the Sun does not obey our decree, then total war will be waged until the Sun submits.

When the Sun is secured, a tax on its energy output will not only provide free energy for all the countries of the Earth, but part of this tax money will be used in a hydrogen kick-back program to prevent the Sun's core from running out of Hydrogen plasma and derailing the Sun's diabolical plan leave the Main Sequence and spread terror across the Solar System as a Red Giant. Methinks someone's celebrating April Fool's Day a mite early.

OOC: You seem to have little idea of how language study works at University level. Apart from introductory level study (conducted mainly in the local language), classes are indeed conducted in the language being studied. The whole point being to get you speaking, listening to, reading and writing the language as quickly as possible.

Maybe that's just the way it's done at my Uni (UNSW), but I wouldn't expect it to change very much anywhere else in the world.

Description: Face it, racism is a big problem that needs to be fixed fast. Although it isn't where you think it might be. it is in our legal system, our politicians, and normal people like you or me. The problem is in hate crime laws, they are just a bad idea. The more harsh hate crimes get the more divided the world gets. If a man kills another man of the same race to him, would it not be because he hates him? so my proposition is to completely outlaw hate crime laws. it is a shame that we have to live in a world so insecure about the guy next to us on the subway being racist towards us. Plus there is a double standard. If I call an African-American a bad name, which you can probably guess what it is, I get arrested, but if he calls me a "Cracker" or a "white boy" nothing happens. hate crime laws are a bad idea in a biased world. And if this not pass we need to at least say that being homosexual doesn't constitute a hate crime being committed toward you.
