Category: Political Stability


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Helios Hyperion

Description: Seeing as the previously submitted (and very different) proposal known as the "Lollipop Procurement Act" was rejected,
maybe this one will be better accepted.

The aims of this act is to increase political stability. It will do this by ensuring that U.N. members are happy when they are deliberating, and so make better decisions.

The only burden this places on nations is that they will have to procure and give to the U.N. 100 candycanes each year.Which is just as silly as the lollypop one.

Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: Esterhaza

Description: The Illegal Arms Control Proposal or (IACP) seeks to limit and eliminate the flow of illegal arms purchased by many criminal elements. Illegal arms supply and fund multitudes of terrorist organizations, organized crime, and gang activity. The cause of illegal arms is due to the easy acquisition of surplus weapons from poorly secured weapons stockpiles and the shady underhanded tatics of certain companies within the Arms Manufacturing industry and lax regulations and security.

IACP proposes to create a UN regulatory agency supervising the activities and enforcing more stringent regulations on the Arms Manufacturing industry. This agency is to be called the Arms Manufacturing Regulatory Agency (AMRA).

Secondly, the IACP proposes to create a UN coalition to assist nations unable to properly secure weapons stockpiles.

Thirdly, the IACP proposes to bring UN nations into compliance with regulations issued by the ARMA. Isn't "create a UN coalition" just a way to try and circumvent the No UN army/police force rule?

Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: TUGAFOREVER

Description: In this big process that we all call "globalization" one thing has been left behind the problem of the different treatments in public school and private school.
In this world where everybody claims the right to have the same chances has anyone else equality is being left behind on schools where the private schools give more quality to their students than public schools.

Whit this proposal i dont want to propose the end of private schools but instead i propose that all the governmentshelp to improve the quality of public schools with some investments and changings:
1- use at least 0.005% of their state budget to improve public schools
2- to give prizes to the teachers in case of the groups whom these teachers give classrooms to have good results with the sense of stimulating the teachers to improve more and more his capacities of teaching
3-to promote the multiculturality in the classrooms in the direction of reducing the racism in the schools and the marginalized classes


these 3 measures can take to the improvement of the teaching in the schools, reduction of the tax of illiterates , end of the racism and delinquency in the schools etc. etc. etc.

Proposed by: Marty The Monster

Description: To build a space station, in orbit of our nation states.

This would aim to be a place, where people or creatures of all kinds can come to live, work, study, and advance our fine species.

This space station would also be used for scientific research, with the intention of any research benefiting all nation states creatures.

And maybe ultimately, this space station could be a place where we can start to build from this vantage point, new space vehicles, in order that we seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go, where no one has gone before. THIS IS NOT TORT REFORM!

Actually it doesn't; nuclear fission is not a renewable energy source. Neither is fusion, but the sheer abundance of raw materials makes it a non-issue.
I could maybe understand fission not being seen as an RES by some. But fusion!? If ever there came a point where there was a lack of the raw materials needed for fusion power, many of the so called "green" RESs would be out of luck as well.

Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation


Proposed by: Leuvenation

Description: A) Economical Reasons:

1) To forbid birth control for the masses.
•It’s a sure way of ensuring a continuing inflow of cheap (low schooled) labor, without the risk and problems of racism and integration.
•Furthermore Darwin’s theory of evolution tells us that only the fittest will thrive (survive). Or in other words only the smartest, the strongest and/or the cleverest of the inhabitants of the overpopulated ghettos will succeed in overcoming the harsh conditions of their birth-habitat to join the ranks of the upper-class. Thus ensuring our nations with only the ‘fittest’ new blood to breed into its governing-few, thereby confirming its superiority in regard to the masses.

2) To allow birth control for the upper-class.
•Disallowing birth control for the upper-class would spread the wealth to thin.
•These people have already proven their superiority to the masses, due to their pedigree. Yet the rules of Darwin’s theory of evolution still count, even on this higher level. And although the competition will be at least as fierce as within the masses, it’s more of the dueling kind then of the mass combat kind, so fewer competitors are needed.

B) Health Reasons:

1) To forbid birth control for the masses.
•Natural selection and the chaos-theory ensure us that for every disease there is at least one person who is immune to it, by allowing, even encouraging the masses to breed like rabbits, we will increase our chances of finding the immune one among our inhabitants, and distilling a cure from his immunity system.

2) To allow birth control for the upper-class.
•If the number of upper-class citizens rises any further, their will be no space left in the housing regions of these citizens to allow for natural features like parks, gardens, trees, lawns, golf-clubs, … . In other words the last few patches of greenery would disappear with disastrous effects towards the climate of the planet as a consequence.
•Since the masses are already enlisted to breed towards an improved immunity system, the scientific improvements and findings there can be implemented on the upper class, thus negating the need for them to behave like rodents. And this does what now?

Category: Free Trade


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Christopher Paul

Description: This resolution is in response to the ever expanding global economy, and seeks to provide equal trade flow among all nations. This resolution also recognizes constituent nations’ desire to protect domestic industry.
Therefore, this resolution proposes that:

1. The tariffs and import taxation levied by the nation of the first party in a bi-lateral trade relationship, should receive the same percentage importation tariffs and taxation, so that a trade imbalance does not occur, by which one nation be able to prey upon the instability or vulnerability of the nation of the second part. This agreement is hereby known as a Common Trade Agreement (CTA).

2. The United Nations Committee for International Financial Responsibility, while not mandatory, will provide trade mitigation services.

3. All nations are required to resolve the CTA within each fiscal year.

4. When such nations are unable to resolve that year’s CTA, the previously active CTA will remain in effect until the new CTA is resolved.

5. Tardy CTA agreements will not be retroactive within the fiscal year, but only cover goods traded upon the effective date and time of the CTA.

6. However, with the initial establishment of CTA’s Constituent nations will be required to have resolved their CTA within 365 days of the effectiveness of this resolution.

7. If said nations are unable to agree upon said tariff and taxation, a penalty of 10% of the value of all goods, materials and services traded within a fiscal year, will be charged until said nations should come to an agreement.

8. Nations that violate the CTA will be labeled in offense of this resolution by the UN CIFR.

9. Offending nations will be fined 25% of the trade imbalance gross value, and will accrue an annual percentage interest rate of prime + 7% for each year that such fines go unpaid, being calculated on a monthly average and compounding annually.

10. Severe delinquency, as determined by the Security Council but not less than 5 years, will incur other actions as deemed necessary to remedy the trade imbalance, up to and possibly including trade restriction among other constituent nations.

11. There is no term limitation to the Trade agreements, however provision is made for both parties to annual renegotiate their CTA.

12. Any nation may appeal their claim to the UN CIFR, and then respectively to the Security Council, should each UN body determine the appeal to be credible. Illegal, we don't have a security council.

Resolution: #211


Proposed by: Rasalat

Description: UN Resolution #211: Establishment of ICPIN (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Aware that criminal activities often span multiple jurisdictions,

Alarmed by the prospect of criminals attempting to cross national borders in order to escape justice,

Realizing that many nations employ multiple law enforcement agencies with differing mandates and fields of specialisation, which may not have direct correlations in other nations, making international cooperation between these agencies and others difficult,

Recognising the importance of international communication in tackling crime and apprehending criminals:

1. Promotes cooperation between member nations in the apprehension of criminals, particularly international fugitives, the suppression of criminal activities, and the sharing of intelligence concerning criminal activities and their perpetrators;

2. Further encourages member nations to negotiate reciprocal agreements with others to permit law enforcement agents to enter their nation and exercise power of arrest and detention;

3. Emphasises that the decision to grant such powers remains a national prerogative;

4. Requires member nations to maintain a Central National Office (CNO) to communicate between all law enforcement agencies and other relevant authorities under their jurisdiction, and to act as a point of first contact for other national and international organizations seeking to establish lines of communication;

5. Establishes the International Criminal Police Information Network (ICPIN) to promote effective communication between nations and their law enforcement agencies, and to facilitate international operations to suppress criminal activities, especially in the fields of:
- trafficking of persons, arms, drugs, stolen goods, illegal technologies and other illegal materials,
- international terrorism,
- organized crime,
- corruption and financial crime;

6. Encourages member nations, where appropriate, to use the ICPIN as means to issue alerts, exchange information and organize efforts to apprehend criminal fugitives;

7. Declares that the ICPIN shall:
- maintain regular contact with all CNOs,
- assist in the establishment and maintenance of the CNOs of nations requesting such aid,
- facilitate communications and cooperation between national law enforcement agencies,
- distribute information and alerts to all relevant CNOs about known or suspected fugitives or criminal activities,
- cooperate with other relevant international agencies, such as the ICSI,
- compile and maintain a database of known and suspected fugitives, international criminal organizations, and criminal activities spanning multiple jurisdictions;

8. Strongly emphasises that:
- ICPIN agents shall not have powers of arrest or detention, nor any authority to engage in police or military actions,
- any information provided shall only be disclosed with the express agreement of both the nation of origin and the ICPIN,
- nothing in this resolution shall require nations to aid in the apprehension of anyone they do not consider a criminal.Is it my imagination, or is this repeal's argument actually just the text of the resolution.

Argument: Banning logging would devastate the world’s economy. Many things that relying on wood would go up in price so much the general public would be unable to use them. The poor would have to live without chairs, houses would go up in price and it would become even harder to get a roof over your head. This resolution would hurt the poor and the economy, for these reasons I think this resolution is not worthy of UN consideration!!!
Yes, it would. Pity then that this resolution doesn't ban logging.
Repeal "UN Bio Agent Convention"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #204
Proposed by: Mighty Riches

Argument: This resolution stops UN nations from defending themselves from attack to there full potential, and gives a serous advantage to rouge nations not part of the UN that are able to use these weapons against us. So in the pursuit of freedom and defence of democracy in all member nations of the UN I am repealing this resolution. Because of these reasons I don’t believe this resolution is worth of the UN’s consideration!!!
Yes!!!

And I sort of agree with this repeal: would be fun to see these nations use biological weapons in self-defence.


I was going to ask: what's with all the repeals? Then I realized 5 in a row were by this guy; even so, interesting how the proposal queue has more repeals than usual, after a spell of the floor having no repeals.

International drug trade
Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Promote
Proposed by: The satanic nations

Description: recodnizing that the underground drug trade is a serious issue

acnologing the fact that the war on drugs takes up valuable resources

reasoning that with the international drug trade(IDT) pirates will have no reason to smuggle drugs into the country, as the items in question are already in the nation

however, this means that all nations will have to legalize drugs for this to work

also stating, that the government can make a profit from selling such drugs to the public

also, the quantity allowed at one time will be limited and prices shall be fair


the following is a price list:

pot $15
coke $20
speed $50
LSD $10
angel dust $60
heroin $30
ecstacy $10
shrooms $5
crystal meth $60

(note prices are per oz.)
Whether this resolution is a good idea or a wildly unsound one, those prices are a mite unrealistic. The UN legalising drugs? Not sure. The UN massively subsidising them to the point of giving them away free? Nnnnnnno.

Defining, for the purposes of this proposal, science and art as;
1) SCIENCE: Any research or discoveries that lead to technological breakthroughs, benefit parts or the whole of humankind, or generally assist the advancement of the common good without intentionally (or, if possible, unintentionally) causing harm to any living thing, inciting hatred amongst peoples or people groups, or irreversibly harming or destroying any part of the environment;
2) ART: Any form of lasting and noticeable expression that leaves an impression on viewers, readers, or listeners without intentionally (or, if possible, unintentionally) causing harm to any living thing, inciting hatred amongst peoples or people groups, or irreversibly destroying any part of the environment;

Recognizing the importance of scientific and artistic inquiry and enterprise to national and international commerce and culture,

Further recognizing the importance of awards and monetary incentives for the continued progress of above processes,

Believing that the offering of incentives and awards will increase the quality and quantity of scientific discoveries and artistic expressions worldwide,

1) Awarding a person or small group of persons (no more than five) awards in the following categories;
a) Physics
b) Chemistry
c) Literature
d) Peace
e) Medical practices
f) Visual arts
g) Economics,
2) Establishing a committee of persons from various members of the United Nations and employing groups of experts in each category, both of whom will be concerned with the selection of potential candidates for each category,
3) The narrowing down and final selection of the award winner(s) for each category by use of aforementioned committee and groups of experts, allotting no more than three winners for each category,
4) The awarding of a 24 karat gold medal engraved with the IAC's official logo, and the equivalent of no less than one-million British pounds to the winner(s) of each category,

Resolution: #57


Proposed by: Christlerland

Description: UN Resolution #57: Reduce Black Market Arms Sales (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Resolution #57 is now totally obsolete. new and shocking facts make it obvious that there has to be a more apropriate resolution on the trade of illicit arms and small weapons. this is because this threat is a global one, and is more fearful than even atomic bombs. small armies of a couple of hundreads of men can cause heavy casualties, when in underdeveloped areas where governments are unable to protect their people. in order to deal with this threat, we have to ensure international cooperation amongst all nations, in order to foresee and prevent dangerous transactions, and all states have to sign an international Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), in order to secure ourselves from that threat. therefore, Christlerland proposes the following resolution to replace #57:


Alarmed by the heavy casualties caused by these weapons,
Aware of the difficulties of restricting the trade of guns that can have legitimate uses,
Deeply disturbed by the growing number of deaths and injuries of civilians and aid workers, and of the culture of violence that is established in war-ridden societies, leading to young combatants becoming criminals after the war,

1) Calls upon all states to fight the phenomenon of leaky government arsenals by implementing strickter measures of the security of their stockpiles,

2) Encourages states to form legislation which will suport destroying of unnecessary weapon supplies, restrictions on the trade and manufacturing of such weapons, keeping track of ofiicialy held guns, and using marking systems on weapons to ensure that the country of origin can be found

3) Insists that all states sign an Arms Trade Treaty, which will ensure that:

a) all international transfer of arms will be authorized by a given state and will be carried out according to international laws and procedures that reflect states' obligations under international law
b) states will not authorize transfer of arms that violate expressed obligations regarding arms under international law, including but not limited to obligations to the UN charter, any other treaty binding the state
c) States shall not authorize international transfer of arms when they are to be used ar are likely to be used, based on the recipient's record of lawfulness, for violations of international law, including breaches of the UN charter and the commision of serious Human Rights violations,
d) states shall establish standards for spcific control of mechanisms on imports and exports of arms, arms brokering activities, transfers of licensed arms production, and trans-shipment of arms

The nation 'New USAs' recently proposed we reinstate slavery to (quote):

" Country Leaders and Persons of state or Personal rank. Should be allowed to own slaves due to the country laws that are in place.

Slavery allows for unwanted people to be allowed in areas, that originaly wouldnt allow those to enter.

Slavery builds countrys and militarys up far more then any normal country could do so.

Slavery today is nothing more then a binding contract that can not be repealed.

Slavery should be re instated for the good of poor countrys and for nations that need labor fast.

Slavery should not stop between prisoner or normal minoritys.

Minoritys should have limited laws that protect from death when not convicted of any crime.

Countrys should have the right to choose this action if they wish for there nation."
:eek:
HOWEVER I think he has not taken into consideration the fact that slavery is actually not beneficial to the economy of countries. Slavery was initially abolished by the British because it was so bad for the economy. Think about it:

Slave owner must provide their slaves food clothing shelter and make sure they are healthy. If he fails to do, the slaves that he paid for die and he loses profit.

The business owner simply pays his workers a wage/salary and thats it. The worker has to provide the rest for himself. Also the worker is paid according to how he works, this motivates him to work harder where as the slave doesn't care how well he works.

Therefore with a higher initial input, you get higher profits. SO 'New USAs' economic reason for slavery is wrong. And I'm not even going to start on the morality of slavery!

If you think I'm right! Then please lend me your support by endorsing me, SupaSkwirrel, and we can start making real good and ethical (as well as logical) changes in the UN!:rolleyes:

the following is a price list:

pot $15
coke $20

angel dust $60

(note prices are per oz.)Whether this resolution is a good idea or a wildly unsound one, those prices are a mite unrealistic. The UN legalising drugs? Not sure. The UN massively subsidising them to the point of giving them away free? Nnnnnnno.Right, because that's my government's job. ;)

Looks like someone is longing for the old days when you could get a dime bag. :D

If you think that it would be worse. then you think of them like normal people. if we consider them things or items we can trade, barter, or toss out then its the best way to keep cost low.

goverments can have farms of slaves where the slave race would prosper by forced births. or cloning could be made more of a pratical use. also breeding of strong great slaves that last long and have low risk of health issues would be great addition.

For slaves after a few years work they are no longer like they use to be. that is why the country could eather use them to clear land mine zones, put together harmful radioactive bombs or equipment, or even be used in medical experments.

also the land owner could even dispose of the slave himself. goverments could sell slaves for low prices while farmers and military officals and even medical students could gain so much more.

it is time for goverments to be allowed to do what they feel is right. or tell its people what they should think is right.

also military testing on vehical or gun designs would be great use of slaves, also the safty standards in cars could be used with people for cheep, then expensive high end computer models.

Description: With the lack of proper sex education for citizens all over the world, a compulsory live sex education would help improve the level of sexual awareness among young people.

1. Sex education should be taught not just on the textbook level, but videos must be shown as graphic examples.

2. On a textbook level, description and definitions should not be restricted by clean language or taboo mentality, but should be discussed and described in detail to facilitate a learner's understanding of sex.

3. Live demonstration. While not compulsory, schools are encouraged to hold live demonstration of sexual activities between two people. This will give students a livlier and vivid understanding of what exactly is entailed in the subject of sex.

A good understanding of sex would decrease the abuse of sex. Please endorseYou know, I kind of almost want this to come up for vote just so I can break out one of my lesser used characters.

Resolution: #211


Proposed by: Rasalat

Description: UN Resolution #211: Establishment of ICPIN (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Aware that criminal activities often span multiple jurisdictions,

Alarmed by the prospect of criminals attempting to cross national borders in order to escape justice,

Realizing that many nations employ multiple law enforcement agencies with differing mandates and fields of specialisation, which may not have direct correlations in other nations, making international cooperation between these agencies and others difficult,

Recognising the importance of international communication in tackling crime and apprehending criminals:

1. Promotes cooperation between member nations in the apprehension of criminals, particularly international fugitives, the suppression of criminal activities, and the sharing of intelligence concerning criminal activities and their perpetrators;

2. Further encourages member nations to negotiate reciprocal agreements with others to permit law enforcement agents to enter their nation and exercise power of arrest and detention;

3. Emphasises that the decision to grant such powers remains a national prerogative;

4. Requires member nations to maintain a Central National Office (CNO) to communicate between all law enforcement agencies and other relevant authorities under their jurisdiction, and to act as a point of first contact for other national and international organizations seeking to establish lines of communication;

5. Establishes the International Criminal Police Information Network (ICPIN) to promote effective communication between nations and their law enforcement agencies, and to facilitate international operations to suppress criminal activities, especially in the fields of:
- trafficking of persons, arms, drugs, stolen goods, illegal technologies and other illegal materials,
- international terrorism,
- organized crime,
- corruption and financial crime;

6. Encourages member nations, where appropriate, to use the ICPIN as means to issue alerts, exchange information and organize efforts to apprehend criminal fugitives;

7. Declares that the ICPIN shall:
- maintain regular contact with all CNOs,
- assist in the establishment and maintenance of the CNOs of nations requesting such aid,
- facilitate communications and cooperation between national law enforcement agencies,
- distribute information and alerts to all relevant CNOs about known or suspected fugitives or criminal activities,
- cooperate with other relevant international agencies, such as the ICSI,
- compile and maintain a database of known and suspected fugitives, international criminal organizations, and criminal activities spanning multiple jurisdictions;

8. Strongly emphasises that:
- ICPIN agents shall not have powers of arrest or detention, nor any authority to engage in police or military actions,
- any information provided shall only be disclosed with the express agreement of both the nation of origin and the ICPIN,
- nothing in this resolution shall require nations to aid in the apprehension of anyone they do not consider a criminal.Since when is the text of the resolution you're trying to repeal a valid argument?

I must admit, I added my endorsement to the "Live Sex Education" one, but not because I was approving of the proposal, per se, although I do think positional safety should be covered. You have no idea the stories I've heard from friends about the stupid stuff people think might be fun without bothering to figure out how to be safe about it. :rolleyes: Mostly I was approving of the dangling metalic objects required to even THINK of submitting such a piece. Whoever runs that nation has some serious guts, lemme tell ya.

Anyway, about the aforementioned ICPIN repeal, isn't that the second time that repeal has been submitted? I swear someone, maybe the same person, did this exact same thing at least once before. This is just a little absurd.

I must admit, I added my endorsement to the "Live Sex Education" one, but not because I was approving of the proposal, per se, although I do think positional safety should be covered.

(OOC: safe positions, huh? ::snickers like a schoolboy::)

Description: The death penalty shall be instated in all member nations. Doing this will prove to be an effective deterrent against crime.Illegal, contradicts Fair Sentencing Act.

Category: Environmental


Industry Affected: All Businesses


Proposed by: Kahoolawe

Description: We, the people of Kahoolawe,

believing that the member states of not only the United Nations, but the world should be committed to the health and well-being of their environment.
We are deeply concerned by the potential lack of prevention and control environmental issues.

In order to establish the idea of sustainability in our peoples’ minds we hereby express our following feelings and the accordant proposals towards a (new) EU resolution.


Recognizing that the environment must be protected per se in its entirety and in its
various component parts and their interrelations, as the foundation and basis for life,

Deeply concerned about the increasing damage to the environment caused by detrimental
influences,

Fearing an occurrence of environmental disasters brought about by additional disturbances
of the ecological system,

Realizing that intensified international efforts are necessary to save the environment
and to protect it from further deterioration,

Considering the fact that effective measures to protect the environment can be implemented
only if awareness of the problems and willingness to act accordingly are
developed,

Recognizing that the United Nations should continue to play a substantial role in
promoting protection of the environment, particularly through the United Nations
Environment Programme,

Recognizing also that the United Nations Environment Programme is the lead
agency in handling environmental matters,

Convinced that in addition to measures provided by administrative law and liability
under civil law, measures should also be taken, where appropriate, in the field of
criminal law,

1. Calls upon Member States:
(a) To recognize the need to modify or enact, where necessary, and to enforce national
criminal laws designed to protect nature and the environment, as well as people,
threatened by their deterioration;

(b) To promote, under national criminal law, the protection of nature and the environment
against the dumping of hazardous wastes or other materials which pose a risk of damaging the environment and against the operation of dangerous technical
installations that they consider to involve unacceptable margins of risk;

(c) To implement effectively their national laws, including criminal laws, concerning
environmental protection and, inter alia, to ensure the restoration of the environment,
wherever harmed to its original state as far as possible;


2. Requests Member States:
(a) To take measures to encourage public awareness concerning environmental
protection and to stimulate the readiness to act accordingly;

(b) To take measures to ensure that public and private entities which undertake
activities that are hazardous to the environment take into account ecological concerns
among their economic and financial goals;

(c) To consider becoming parties to the relevant international conventions on environmental
protection and the conservation of nature;

(d) To encourage the harmonization of national and regional legislation of countries
belonging to the same ecosystem, striving for the highest level of protection of
the environment;

(e) To co-operate in the prevention, investigation and prosecution of criminal acts
against the environment; Illegal, branding.

Not to mention it's simply a cut and paste of the Resolution on "The role of criminal law in the protection of nature and the environment", endorsed by the General Assembly in Resolution 45/121 (14 December 1990), from the Eighth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (Havana, Cuba, 1990). Not sure if that counts as 'plagiarism' or simply 'stupid'.

Proposed by: Manchester Sydenham U

Description: This law prevents unjust laws to be made by the head of a region
1. This will prevent new nieve countries from being forced to do things that they have no say in.
2. This will let countries make decisions that benefit their country, ultimately helping the global economy.
3. Makes sure that each country, liberal or capitalist gets their deserved freedoms.
4. This will give publicity to the UN, for making a law that helps all types of government.
5. If a person is charged for braking this law, then they will be punished. (punishment determined by the UN.
6. Makes sure that each law breaker gets a fair trial.
7. Spreads the law of Free Speech.

If a country does not follow the requirements below, they will be fined.
(Fine determined on how bad the case is.
Punishments good be any where from revoking the laws and apologizing to leaving the region completely.

The requirements
1. Laws must be fair to all countries in region
2. Laws must not force a country to change their type of government
3. Laws must not force a country to put a certain amount of money into one area. Example: All people who are in this region have to put 80% of their money into the Military.
4. The leader of the region is not allowed to force a country to be in the UN, or to not be in the UN. (You can strongly recommend the nations in your region to not or join the UN though)
5. A leader of a region may not force a country to pick a choice in one of their issues, this would cause their government to change according to how their leader wants it.
6. A nation that tries to get away from doing something that totally goes against this law may have to be ejected from the UN.

All these rules should try to be followed, accidents to happen and if it is a accident does a-cure then this region leader will get a second chance.Illegal, game mechanics.

Description: UN Resolution #40: Banning the use of Landmines (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution stops UN nations from defending themselves from attack to there full potential, and gives a serous advantage to rouge nations not part of the UN that are able to use these weapons against us.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #89
Proposed by: Mighty Riches

Description: UN Resolution #89: Rights of indigenous peoples (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Indigenous people shouldn’t be treated better then others. By saying they have the right to demand protection in times of conflict when other citizens can not is downright stupid. Non Indigenous people are discriminated by this act by having their land that they have bought and paid for repossessed by indigenous people that claim that they have rights to it even thou they didn’t buy it or pay for it. In the interest of fairness to all people I am repealing this act.#89 Doesn't say they have the right to demand protection, and it certainly doesn't say anything about anyone else not having the right to protection either. They are also not treated "better" - indeed it says "Affirming that indigenous peoples are equal in rights to all peoples, recognizing the rights of all peoples to be different, to be free from discrimination "

It also doesn't say anything about repossession by indigenous peoples of native indigenous land either, for that matter (although I wish it had now thinking about it).Repeal "Orbital Space Safety Act"

Description: UN Resolution #174: Orbital Space Safety Act (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution will make space travel so expensive it is almost imposable. Space crafts need to dump a certain amount of waist in space to be able to function properly. This resolution will delay space travel by many years. In the interest of human development, space travel and satellite communication I am repealing this resolution.Are space ships getting fat? IS this intended to cut their expanding waistlines? Anyhow, lots of nations in space already, don't see anyone else moaning about the costs.

Men's rights
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Gorerider

Description: Men should have the same rights as women. It is unfair that a man is treated with less respect than a woman. This will make sure that men have the rights they deserve. If this law is passed the following will be mandatory for a country.
1. Men shall not be abused.
2. Men shall get the same pay as a woman does.
3. Men shall not be forced to do anything against their will.
4. H will get all the other freedoms that a woman does in his country.
5. Men shall not be forced to do a woman's job. Whether it be seduction or orders from a higher up.
6. Women who attempt to use their body to get what they want, not sexually but through the act of exposure will be given a fine.Oddly enough, I could appreciate something like this being implemented, given that I'm sure there are matriarchal societies out there, and I'm sure that there are the implied gender inequalities the name implies. However, then it talks about 5 & 6 as if that's the main reason women get anywhere. :rolleyes:

Universal Language

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Alpha Bravo Charlie

Description: The Universal Language should be American English. Its a language understood by many, even the ones who speak British English or any other form. American English is the clearest form, because Americans; besides some groups like New Yorkers or Southerners dont have accents. This is a much better proposal then the one for "British English", because we all know that language sounds ridiculous. Also this resoulition would allow easy trade for everyone!

Was this joke ever funny? Be it pro-UK or pro-US? I think the only redeeming feature of the proposal is that the sentence in which the author attempts to prove that American English is "the clearest form" is gibberish. That, at least, made me smile.

Category: International Security


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Champino

Description: I propose that a UN Special Operations enclave be created, overseen by a newly created UN Special Operations Directorate. This enclave would be tasked with providing a specialised military response that would attend whenever and wherever required, with international clearance to operate within all member states, without prior permission from said country.

This military unit would thus be capable of providing a rapid response capability to any threats that arose whilst evading any previous diplomacy that could hinder crucial strategic intervention.

The UN Special Operations Directorate would be comprised of a board of democractically elected members from all UN states, and would be assisted by a similarly elected board of select military personnel, who would advise on any necessary action, before such a decision would then be put to the Directorate to determine the correct course of action.

The main benefit of this proposal would be to provide a fast, effective strategic option for all member states, including those who may have a shortfall in such areas of their military capabilities. Illegal, the UN doesn't get a military.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Yderia II

Description: BELIEVING that the freedom of the individual is paramount, and must come before the needs of the state, and that a secret police force is completely unnecessary

NOTING the increased international tension that could possibly follow on from the formation of a secret police force within a nation, as well as the excuses for them, for example terrorism
ASSERTING that the citizens of member nations have the right to privacy and anonymity at all times unless specified otherwise by the United Nations (ie Sex Offenders etc.)

OBSERVING the warnings from the past with regards to the formation of a secret police and the social and security problems that come with it, as well as how it effects the status of the state within the international community

CONSIDERING that a secret police force is unanswerable to the United Nations and therefore an illegal organisation

WORRIED at the growing number of states forming a secret police force that violates civil liberties laws of the state and of the United Nations

CONVINCED that a secret police force is unnecessary, unlawful and a hinderance to national growth and international co-operation

INTENDING to legislate that a United Nations Internal Security Force take the place of secret police within states that currently possess one, and to offer financial support for the increasing of police/security forces with the promise of an abolition of the state's secret police forceWell, now this is a sneaky way of trying to create a UN police force.

-Clarifying that Extremist contains every single Government that is Ultra-Left, Ultra-Right, Extreme Islamist, Communist, Ultra-Fascist, Satanist, etc.
-Suggesting a new Resolution that would make surveillance on such Regions/Countries stricter from the International Community.

We suggest to give the mandate to a so-called International-Police (InterPol) to assume greater surveillance on such countries and regions to make of the
World a more secure and safe place. Oh God, not another police force resolution.

That was a bad parody of a women's rights proposal that was on the list earlier this week.

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Arthmaia

Description: To all members of the United Nations,

In order to insure freedom, liberty, and justice for all people in the UN, I propose a resolution that would:

1. To make governments of the UN, allow the people of their nations to have the freedom to vote for their own rulers

2. To rid of all the most corrupted and evil governments of the UN and hopefully the world at large

3. To insure that all people of the UN and hopefully the world will be treated equally under the law of their nation and UN

4. To insure justice will be given to all those who have been wronged by anyone, including their own government

5. To insure that all nations and their governments treat every citizen and even those who aren't citizens with equality and respect for them Look! It's another ideological ban in addition to pretty much covering the same issues as a few resolutions already in effect! Don't you just LOOOOVE unoriginal elitists? /overly happy-toned sarcasm

Furthermore we call upon all member States of the U.N. to de-criminalize the Anti-Marijuana Laws of their respective States.
We firmly believe that if States adopt this policy. Not only will Marijuana trade benefit their economies, but it's de-criminalization will also reduce the amount of Tax dollars spent to prosecute & detain marijuana users.We have a charter?

Category: Repeal


Resolution: #4


Proposed by: Manchester Sydenham U

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

Argument: The reason why I think this act should be repealed, are as followed.

THAT United Nations Resolution number four be repealed.
AND THAT 1) for the purposes of a) maintaining this organization b)financing peacekeeping operations c) preventing genocide and d) to provide for a more equitable division of wealth and resources amongst members of the United Nations and the remaining members of the world community, THAT 2) a) an annual tax be levied directly upon citizens of member nations AFTER national taxes are collected NOT EXCEEDING 3% of those citizens' assets and b)that the exact rate be determined by United Nations Delegates at a date near to the passage of this resolution.

This will bring money to the UN, helping them fund the various things that require money.Illegal, repeals cannot contain new legislation.

I think we used to have a charter...I seem to vaguely remember the list of passed proposals being called the "charter" at some point or another. I could be wrong.

I could be wrong.

You're wrong. There have been a few attempts, but no one has ever passed one.

Armed Forces and Police only

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Tighten

Proposed by: Mustafafat

Description: The amount of gun related crime and its effect on society throughout the world is crippling.
And just what "effect" would that be? Where and on what world is this crime problem taking place again? Because we have no such problem in our nation.


It comes down to two things:

1:The free availability of guns in some countries, no laws from preventing you purchasing a gun.
What do countries with lax or no gun laws, that also have a crime problem, have to do with the UN?


2:The black market of gun trade.
Wrong category. At best this would be an International Security issue.


I propose that the sale of all guns in any UN member state should be made illegal and also call for a crackdown on black market traders who provide guns to criminals and other organizations.
*See above. ^


The only people who should be allowed the use of fire arms are the Police forces worldwide and also the Armed forces.
Wow... How did we get from the assertion that countries with unregulated, lax or no gun laws are causing some kind of global crime epidemic, to a complete gun ban in all member nations?!

Description: As the world grows with industry and manufactoring so does our enviroment. The air we breathe is growing with more pollutants and bacteria that affects our heart and lungs. As our children, and our grandchildren are being exposed to take in such a inhumane, inthoughtful, and selfesh type of breathing style we are shorting their lives. Our lives are being shorten by the growing of manfacturing. Each country should have a maximum amount of industrial growth. Countries should only be allowed 10 manufacturing plants to every billion person. The plants should only be limited to be located outside of city lines to help protect to the citizens, and may not exceded the size of a square mile total, including parking lot and anything that might be used in the plant. We need to put a stop to the killing of our enviroment. This will help stop what is stopping our lives.10 manufacturing plants per billion people? I know there are nations with over 10 billion people but still that's a ludicrously small number.

Category: Political Stability


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Natasua

Description: Recognizing the sovereignty of all nations,

Realizing that many different people are affected by internal strife within sovereign nations,

Understanding the problems of international tension due to differences of internal politics and cultures of sovereign nations,

Addressing the separate issues of War and Intervention and recognizing the vagueness of said words,

Recommending amending the definitions of both aforementioned terms as well as providing set justifications that countries may use to appeal to the UN General Assembly for permission to interfere with another country,

1. Suggests that Intervention and War be defined as separately as possibly, and as follows:
-Intervention: the interference of one sovereign nation in the affairs or territory of another sovereign nation where the intervening country is fighting to create a certain order in the country rather than to acquire territory or to defend
-War: the literal fighting of the people and governments of two separate nations because of a conflict of interest between the two nations;

2. Strongly Suggests international standards for appropriate justifications for intervening in the affairs of a sovereign nation being defined as follows:
-in a case where the government has lost control of a faction of people that are violating human rights as defined by the UN
-in a case where the government is violating human rights as defined by the UN
-in a case where the government of a nation has ceased to exist or to function
-in a case where environmental disasters threaten the lives of people, and the government cannot, or does not attempt to save these threatened lives, but the intervening country has the means to save said lives;

2. Further Suggests international standards for appropriate justifications for declaring war being set as follows:
-provocation by attacks or by open threats of attack
-failure by UN to mediate in territorial dispute
-military invasion by sovereign nation without UN justification
-other extenuating circumstances as approved by majority vote in the General Assembly

3. Requests that nations who do not follow these standards for justification or who disregard UN ruling on the matter be economically sanctioned and any military intervention should aid the defender rather than the aggressor.Thing thing has got two 2s. Oh and requiring a UN votes to approve war is illegal I believe.

Ban Regime Change Resolutions

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


Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Sky Marshalls

Description: A large portion of the UN member nations are in fact non-democracies. Each has its own method of ruling its nation and decided what is best for their people. It works similar to a democracy, with the difference that instead of a group of people making decisions for the whole, either only a few or one person makes those decisions. It is mandated that every nation has a right to govern itself any way it chooses.

Thus, asking that resolutions that affect how a non-democratic nation may govern its own people should be banned.

Recognizing, that some methods of governance may not be ideal in terms of the mindset of larger democracies.

But, these methods are chosen according to what the leader of that non-democratic country feels is the right path for the citizens of his country to take.

Proposing, the ban on any proposal that will affect choice in how a leader rules his country. Proposals such as banning secret police, curbing gun ownership, increasing human rights, and such should be banned being passed in the UN such that small and large nations with a non-democratic system of governance can rule their own government in peace.

Also Noting, that the practices that may not be democratically acceptable do not have to be practiced in those countries that deem them harmful to society. But creating a ban on all nations to adhere to mindset of democratic nations is not fair at all.

A country should be allowed to rule itself the way it choose, that includes having its own secret police, forcing teenagers to join the military, keeping phone tabs and GPS locators on all its citizens etcetera etcetera.

There are greater and more significant issues to be dealt, than how best to curb methods of governance of non-democratic nations.I know this is illegal...I'm just not sure exactly which category it falls under. It's a difficult proposal to wrap my brain around at three in the morning.

1. Euthanasia be allowed in certain circumstances i.e. terminally ill patients who are in extreme pain and suffering who are of sane judgement be allowed to die.

2. Euthanasia be allowed in case of parents whose child develops a disease that impedes the quality of life the said child will receive.

Both of the above criteria must also be supported by at least two doctors and one psychiatrist.

I understand that for some religious countries that this will be unacceptable, however, we are all human beings and it is in our nature to be humane & caring and allowing these people to die with dignity is their right.We've done this, and undone it, and redone it.

I know this is illegal...I'm just not sure exactly which category it falls under. It's a difficult proposal to wrap my brain around at three in the morning.
It's a blocker that blocks things that are illegal anyways, so I'd assume it's a "does nothing" violation.

The actions of an individual in the past should be punished by not allowing them into these jobs because it could be a danger for members of the public. There should be job opportunities for these people in these areas, but they should only become available to them 10 years after being released from prison.

Outlines: that a country has no need for a military that is in more than 20% excess of waht is required to defend the country. These cutbacks must be made within 2 years of the passing of this bill or that country will face the UN court.

Shows: that in the event of a worldwide threat or a threat that involves your coutry, you may need more military power or numbers. Other countries should have spare troops to suopply and under political necessity, should and would help in your crisis.

Worries: that a surplus supply to or of the military could result in the overthrow of another country or the action of a military coup within their own country.

Therefore, a country shall not have a militia power too strong to present a problem. However, shall have the backup or reinforcement of fellow UN nations if the need should arise.We have a UN court?

Creation of UNABT

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


Category: International Security


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Panageadom

Description: ABSTRACT: UNABT is the United Nation's Aerial Taskforce. It has similiar objectives to the United Nation's Peacekeeping Taskforce but is more effective due to quicker reaction time and better amalgamation with troops.

CONSISTS OF:
A small squadron of fast moving fighter/bomber jets.
-So that effective measure can be taken to destroy fortifications and delay advancing armies.
A squadron of commandos.
-To martial civilians, secure tactical points, collect information etc.
A squadron of battle-primed helicopters.
-To retrieve civilians and deposit commandos. To assist jets in destruction of AA guns and other defences.

AIMS: To recapture secured towns from militant groups. To deter small invasion attempts. To destroy the fortifications of larger invasions.

PROCEDURE:
1) Taskforce is scrambled while UN members quickly take a vote to establish aims , proportion of taskforce used, duration of UNABT activity etc.
2) The taskforce is amalgamated with the invaded country, so as to increase efficiency*.
*) If the country deviates from the pre-agreed aims, it will be reprimanded and its UNABT protection will be taken away for a period of time.

CONTRIBUTIONS: All of the following will be required from each UN member:
1) An airport/taskbase from where the taskforce can act.
2) A £1500 contribution to buy weapons etc.
3) A following £10 donation per annum for maintanence.Illegal. Once again, the UN cannot have armed forces. Also, did I miss something or do we even HAVE a "Peacekeeping Taskforce"?

NO more guns

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control

Proposed by: Ishaanism

Description: everyday more and more people are dying
in gang fights

we meed to ban weapons and guns
no one apart from military personnel should be allowed to own a gun
other weapons should also be slowly banned in forthcoming resolutions
if we continue like this man will end up being the cause for his own own death
we must make a stand
and we must do it NOW
before it is too late
we must tighten gun control lawsDid someone start a Proposal Poem Contest? Also, banning weapons entirely? What if I know martial arts? That makes my whole body a weapon. Does this mean I'd get banned? Oh noes! My hands and feet are getting confiscated because they could be used to hurt or kill someone!

UNABT is the United Nation's Aerial Taskforce.

ACRONYM FAILURE. ACRONYM FAILURE. SELF-DESTRUCT IN 15 SECONDS.

Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: Minorman

Description: Why?

1. Crime rates will drop immensely

2. Police will have much more power as criminals will not
have guns to fight them back

3. Much of the money that nations used to spend on guns will be able to go to other causes that nations are interested in

4. Some nations have nucule-r-powered guns that affect the environment and if this resolution passes then pollution rates will drop a lot

5.Licenses for guns will not be needed anymore

6.Soldiers will only have to worry about enemy soldiers and police, as if anyone else attacks them they will have the advantage of guns which is such a huge advantage that they will almost always be able to kill or capture their enemy

7. Death rates will drop immensely And this does what now?

Proposed by: Mustafafat

Description: As a nation frequently under threat from underground organisations planning to overthrow me, I propose that a nation's secret police should be able to undertake random house checks without going through the process of obtaining a warrant.
This enables:
1: The discovery of any organisations plotting against the government.
2: The discovery of drug dealers.
3: The discovery of other criminals unseen by everyday police.
I believe that random house checks will lead to dramatic falls in crime levels throughout the world and hope that you feel the same.If your nation has the problem, why does the UN have to fix it?

Resolution: #39


Proposed by: Senny

Description: UN Resolution #39: Alternative Fuels (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: While acknowledging that alternative fuels are invaluable to any given nation as well as the world,

The Free Land of Senny believes that the given proposal robs business owners of their rightfully earned profits.

Therefore, we believe that the given resolution should be repealed and replaced with a resolution that encourages businesses to help reduce carbon emission and to support research on alternative fuels.

Furthermore, we believe that, unless the an act directly interferes with human rights or rights of other nations, it is not in the interest of the United Nations to control this activity. Therefore, to promote national independence, decisions involving control of a business's profit and/or taxation should be left to the nations.Illegal, branding.

Description: UN Resolution #66: Illegal Logging (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UN Resolution #66 should be repealed immediately. There is nothing wrong with Logging, it is a respectable industry.
The citizens of the UN deserve products made from cheap wood, and if logging companies have to chop down more trees to do it then I say let them! Repeal this unjust resolution and help drive down prices for consumers. Think of the poor people!Lucky for all that #66 only bans illegal logging ain't it?

TerrorAudio Abolishment Treaty

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


Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: White Reich

Description: The Abolishment Treaty, proposes a full ban on all Rap "music". This indecent noise popularized by today's youth glorifies violence, crime, and drugs, while degrading women and preaching racial inferiority. Many young people today with potentially bright futures, abandon them to drop out of school, smoke illegal drugs and "keep it real" (the work of the blackest devils in my Book.) The only logical decision would be to immediately ban production and sales of this degenerate filth. Furthermore, raids must be done in urban homes to confiscate this terror-audio contraband. In summary, many of the youth related problems of today stem from this "music" and it must therefor be stopped in it's tracks, at the root.This contradicts a few pieces of passed legislation in addition to being ridiculous.

Less Welfare for Immigrants
Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Al Tidore

Description: Welfare and Social Security are very important to every nation. And as nations expand, so do the amount of immigrants that collect welfare to help them make a living in their new nation. There are many immigrants who live solely off welfare and do not produce as much for the economy as they should.

I propose this bill to:

1) Weed out non productive immigrants and deport them back to their homeland

2) Lessen basic welfare for immigrants in order to preserve for accomplished, naturally born citizens.
Category violation: this decreases basic welfare.

I wouldn't have bothered reporting it, but I love 2). Are immigrants somehow not 'naturally born' - they're grown in a vat or something?

As an American, I am entitled to say that so don't get your panties in a bunch.

"These days"? It's an expression that's been around for quite some time.

The " these days" referred to the "most American things". I was making a commentary on how the collective intelligence of my oh-so-wonderful country (SARCASM ALERT! SARCASM ALERT!) is going downhill severely lately. Anyway, this is off topic.

Please take your "commentary" to General then, because, yes, it is off-topic and doesn't belong here.

Freedom of Residence
Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Teclia

Description: Chiefly, a citizen of a nation must follow the laws of their nation. In theory, a citizen’s residence in a nation represents their willingness to accept their nation’s laws. This being said, it is only fair a citizen who does not agree with their nation’s laws be able to remove themselves from said contract.

There is no law that currently enforces the inalienable right for a person to choose where they wish to reside internationally and where they wish to have citizenship. Although many Member Nations may allow their citizens to leave freely, not all do.

This proposal would enforce that each nation give’s their citizens the right to choose, to choose whether they wish to be a citizen of their nation. Every nation would now allow citizens, who wish to do so, to willingly leave their nation.

DOES: This does allow citizens to leave the borders of their county.

DOES NOT: This does not force any other nation to accept a person into their borders.

Member nations would have to open their borders from the inside to the outside. However a member nation would not have to open their borders to allow people in.

Regulations:


- Each nation would have control over its own processes of allowing a person to reject their citizenship and leave said nation.

- A requirement for being allowed to leave your country would be having documents of pre-acceptance of residence from another nation, even if these are only temporary. This would safeguard against “homeless peoples,” people who have no where to go and cannot return to their country.

- Nations would be encouraged to have a process for gaining at least temporary residence, if not permanent citizen status, available by means that allow a person to apply from their current nation of citizenship.

- A committee would be set up to help oversee the regulations. Ensuring manipulation and abuse of any freedoms granted, or regulations imposed by this act.


Goal: The goal of this proposal is chiefly to allow for an inalienable freedom of all humans. A country that is not pleasing to a citizen, no matter it’s form of government, will now not be able to force it’s citizens to stay. In effect nations that are governed poorly will lose citizens and nations that are governed well can utilize this act to increase their prosperity.

For example, a citizen believes his democracy is too direct and does not act efficiently and quickly, may now find a nation better suited to his tastes. Like wise, a citizen of a nation that is too despotic or without enough freedoms may also leave if they have acceptance from a nation they would rather reside in.

This proposal will protect this right of all mankind.

Important: This proposal understands that leaving one’s nation may be not be practical or favorable no matter if said citizen does not agree with their form of governance. But this proposal only offers the right to do so and does not believe it can solve all problems. One day it is hoped any human may be able to choose their government, but for now only those who are capable may be able to do so.
Nice try, but this is heap big screeching mess of "didn't read Emigration Rights".

I was making a commentary on how the collective intelligence of my oh-so-wonderful country (SARCASM ALERT! SARCASM ALERT!) is going downhill severely lately.If last year's elections were any indicator, I would have to say so. :rolleyes:

That's all I have to say about that. [/Forrest Gump]

Yes, funny, but it's a common phrase used to distinguish such people from those who are naturalized citizens.
I thought the phrase was 'natural-born', rather than 'naturally born'? See Oliver Stone passim.

Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Islador

Description: With the growing amount of debt amongst citizens of Western nations, banks and debt collectors are becoming more and more powerful.
Banks now have the ability to reclaim your house, other companies are gaining similar rights.

Therefore I propose a radical shift in the law. The right to a home should be a human right, the right to escape debt should not.

In cases where a vast amount of money is owed a government monitored court will rule and the appropriate amount of unpaid work the debtor owes the company to pay off their debts.

The company in this case regains some of its capitol in unpaid labour, the debtor can keep their house and not have their possesions re-posessed.

Of course there will be a slight drain on government finance as basic food allowance will be given to the debtor for the period of their unpaid work.

It is the hope of Islador that this will introduce an end to the debt cycle of taking out new loans to replace old ones, give human dignity to those who now have a chance to work off their debt and stop companies losing millions and ensuring the right to a dwelling remains.

Those unwilling to abide by the courts descision shall face a prison term.

While sounding an extreme measure this could reap benefits to all.Illegal, branding and possible contradiction of "End Slavery."

Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Grand Cavvus Islands

Description: This measure would set aside funds for the creation of an international bank to provide micro-loans to the poor and support systems, to enable income earning through personal labor. Each nation will contribute from a tax for the costs and set up offices to administer the program in their nations. These funds and program can only be used to allow the poor a chance to develop or improve a means of self-employment. This must include the following:

1. A method of distributing these funds either from a special bank or through private banks endorsed by each government.

2. Maintaining interest rate for repayment at 5% with terms to allow repayment of the sum within five years, the earnings to go into the program for additional loan funds- after administrative cost, This cannot however use more than have the interest profits.

3. Development of support through education, placing those getting loans in small groups to aid each other and programs to advertise such businesses.

4. After repayment of the first loan favorable terms to get additional funds and a higher amount.

5. Distribute funds regardless of race, creed, religion, gender or disability but on income.

6. Each nation is to report annually this program and implementation to the World bank who is to provide additional support, to nations that request it. Some small amount of interest earnings will be diverted to this purpose and for additional funds. Those funds to assist in bolstering the program in nations with special need. As determined by the World Bank.

7. Loan amounts are limited to one year annual income in a given nation for first loans and an increase of that based on repayment. Default if not deemed malicious will not negate the ability to take out loans.

8. Taxes on such businesses in each nation is encouraged to be favorable so as to allow the poor a fair chance to gain self-employment long term.

Its hoped this program will offer the poor a chance to use home industry and personal labor in areas they know, in order to support themselves. And provide the needed support mechanisms globally to make this a benefit to the needs of women and minority groups in each nation. Its felt its in the spirit and purpose of this measure that employment and the pride of earning ones own way is by itself a great good and should be encouraged.Isn't this basically the same thing as The Microcredit Bazaar?

Proposed by: Khazboss

Description: This resolution is to promote the use of real ale and inhibit the use of daft lager type drinks. The following is suggested:
1) All pissy gassy lagers have production slowed so only an 'emergency' stock is available. These shall henceforth not be associated as 'beer' but as 'gassy piss'. The exceptions to this are German, Czech, Belgian and Dutch pilsners brewed the the beer purity law.
2) All beers with the suffix 'lite' or 'citrus' be banned altogether
3) Mass-produced crap bitter such as Boddingtons, Worthing tons and Tetley with the suffix 'smoothflow' or 'creamflow' be banned.
4) Only properly made ale as approced by CAMERA be sold in our drinking establishments. No chemically enhanced filth is to be produced.
5) Pubs and bars that do not keep said beer correctly shall be fined and if persistent, have licences reviked.

Following acceptance of this resolution, it is envisaged that incidents of drink related violence fall. All the chemicals in 'Fosters' and 'Stella' will not be affecting our brains. Toilet production will increase. Many a toilet is broken after a night on the bitter. this is good for our ceramic industry. Kebab houses will not be affected.I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this has got multiple RL references.

4. Suggests that by the time there are more specially developed clones than people enlisted in the army, all army, navy, and airforce soldiers are to be honorably discharged, and the clones shall replace them. This will allow less significant losses for serious conflicts.

5. Realizes that such a project may take up to 50 years to develop.

6. Encourages that nations share cloning discoveries with one another, for the sake of removing the risk of nations invading other nations to steal cloning information or the invasion of less scientifically advandced nations.Someone's been watching Star Wars too much.

Proposed by: The Trainstation

Description: In this world, there are many nations which find it ok to walk around in the nude. However, nudity should be banned due to problems that it can cause through the region.

Noting that:

1. Nudity causes sexual urges.
2. Nudity distracts the children from Learning
3. Nudity distracts workers form making the economy grow

In this world, the most important thing is a good nation. To have a good nation, there must be a sufficient income from the economy. Nudity destroys the economy bit by bit, making people get distracted from the work they do, making our exports worth less and less.

Next, nudity deters children from paying attention to school. With less knowledge being passed on, who can we rely on to run the government in the future? No knowledge also leads into economic decline.

Sexual urges are natural in most cases. However, in a nation where crime is already high, nudity can cause crime to climb even higher. Since nudity causes sexual urges, there will be more rape cases in court, and more money which is wasted to the lawyers and judicial department, where it could have been spent on education and welfare.

To stop this, we the people propose that we set up a new department of the United Nations. We can set up an International Police Department of the United Nations, devoted to catching those who commit international crimes, rather than devoting the United Nations army to this task. This is a crime which must be stopped.You know, up until the last section this was perfectly legal.

Resolution: #6


Proposed by: The Majority Council

Description: UN Resolution #6: End slavery (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Majority Council hereby asks the UN to consider the repeal of resolution #6. Several reasons are put forth toward the support of this repeal:

1) The right to leave one's job, given two weeks notice: Why two weeks? This portion of the resolution disallows individual nations and cultures to set a basic economic policy - it is intrusive and excessively specific.

2) The right to leave one's job: The Majority Council's Military, as well as in some cases, our actors, miners, police, and doctors often worked on signed contracts or emergency requirements. It is likely other nations have such limitations as well, especially under the military. However, now that the Protectorate of the Majority Council has joined the UN, we find that this resolution may permit mass defections from vital services - and the two week's notice is no small compensation for lost military, or economic damage due to contracts nullified in attempts to conform to UN regulations. Not all jobs are equally free, nor can they be, in many if not most nations.

3) The right to travel freely throughout their country: Again, this is vague, and intrusive. It does not take into concern individual cultural values, protected reserves and parks, potentially contaminated zones, condemned, unsafe buildings, security measures, and other wartime concerns. We, of the Majority Council, still retain some ideals of private, and government property.

Note that the repeal of this resolution will not return the UN to slavery, as resolution #68 still bans slavery via a trafficking in persons, making this resolution even more redundant.Illegal, heavy branding.

Description: Recognizing that convicted felons serving life sentences expend a notable amount of tax payer's money. The confederacy of McGeedom proposes that to balance this expense and stimulate economic and better civic action,; convicted felons be forced to work for no financial gain on any project the state see as in the best interests.

These life sentenced felons will work five to six days a week, and will be gaurenteed sundays off to practice their religion, should they have one, in the various prison chapels.

By enabling this proposal, the expense on the state for maintaining these felons will be counterbalanced in the state's ability to save money on labour that would otherwise require some funding. Illegal, branding.

Proposed by: Ritoria

Description: * An international climate change aversion program is essential to address the catastrophic consequences of global warming which poses a real and definitive threat to all nations.

* It is vital that right thinking member States acknowledge the need to introduce radical and mandatory energy efficiency measures on a global scale that will lead to major reductions in energy use.

* Member states should invest in and diversify the fuel mix for electricity generation, reduce dependence on oil, gas and other non-renewable energy sources and introduce environmentally friendly building standards.

The following measures are proposed by The Kingdom of Ritoria:

1. Scientific funding for widespread research into sustainable energy development should be made available to allow for the utilization and distribution of clean renewable fuels to developed and developing states.

2. Development of electrical and hydrogen fueled engine technologies should be a requirement for Automobile and Aerospace industries and participating industries will qualify for tax breaks and incentives.

3. Energy grid interconnection between neighboring states should be developed, reducing the strain on some domestic markets and providing export opportunities in the wider global market.

4. Member states should commit themselves to addressing the existing national energy grid constraints and simplify research and development programs thus insuring that domestic markets do not discriminate against small scale renewable providers.

5. Energy generation from renewable supplies such as wind, wave and solar power should be developed on a major scale with full state support.

6. New building standards for all new building developments should be introduced by local and national planning bodies, requiring the use of high grade insulation, renewable heating systems and domestic water purification/treatment systems.

7. Member states that do not commit to implementing fossil fuel reduction programs thus reducing energy consumption by 2012 and making clear and decisive moves towards the instigation of renewable energy programs will be formally reprimanded and instructed to compensate those member states who have formally committed themselves to Environmental Resolution 333

*** The Kingdom of Ritoria asks that all UN Delegates seriously consider the needs of the nations who have endorsed them and entrusted them to make strong and resolute decisions as their representative.
By supporting this proposal they are securing the future of their supporting nations.Illegal, branding.

Politician Background Checking

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


Category: Political Stability


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Imperial Maliciousness

Description: This proposal:

Recognizes the moral indecency and corruptness in government politics.

Asks that all politicians, appointed or elected, be scrutinized for any transgressions, ethical tribulations, and inequitable acts to determine their competence for the management of their position.

Recommends that any previously appointed officials, as well as all appointed after the proposals acceptance into law, be systematically verified as respectable politicians.

Suggests that any politicians that are deemed immoral by substantial evidence be instantaneously removed from office or barred from attempting to run for office.

This proposal also requests the establishment of the UNPAC (United Nations Political Analysis Committee) to ensure that all politicians are inspected.

This group also would contain a diverse group of politically aligned individuals for unbiased assessments of politicians.

Overall this proposal wishes to decontaminate the political realm, one elected official at a time.Why do I have a feeling this would eliminate every single one of us from office?

Section 5
Views
1. Deliberate stalling, constant extension application that are unnecessary, lack of appropriate effort to successfully implement rights or failure to properly attempt implementation of necessary rights defiance of the will of the international community

Section 6
Further Recognises:
1. Nations where implementation is rendered implausible/ impossible for the following reasons: civil war, government coup, war or major national disaster, will be allowed additional time regardless of submission of application for nation, until such time where implementation becomes plausible/possible, after which 1 year limit and time extension application system come into force for the particular nation again.

1.Freedom of speech
2.Freedom of worship
3.Freedom from want
4.Freedom form fear

Violates End Genocide? by attempting to eliminate the entire cat girl race through bad science

Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Jamesingtonland

Description: The United Nations,

FOR TOO LONG now have people been murdered in the name of 'justice'. Capital Punishment* has become widely accepted with many nations not showing an adequate understanding of its affects. It has become a nation's way of inexpensively assuring that the prosecuted do not commit an offence again, but:

ALTHOUGH BELIEVING in a nation’s right to choose how convicted criminals are punished,

PRAISING the excellent judicial systems in place in most nations, yet

ASTONISHED that this kind of solution is not challenged throughout the UN for its prominent down sides, mainly that:

1) INNOCENT people could be killed for a crime they did not commit,
2) AS PRESTIGIOUS LEADERS of the supposed 'free world' it is our moral and ethical duty to protect the lives of ALL civilians, citizens and peoples within our jurisdiction,
3) OTHER FORMS OF PUNISHMENT can be much more effective,
4) Such punishments LOWER MORALE in the nation as a whole,
5) THE FAMILIES, and possibly CHILDREN, of the convicted will never see the punished again,
6) Will such a practice can be described as COMPULSORY EUTHANASIA,
7) From a religious point of view, DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT to take a life?
8) And from a non-religious point of view, can we really SEND SOMEONE PREMATURELY into what we have no extensive knowledge of.

The only reason that can be used to support the use of this punishment is that of it being financially friendly: killing somebody is cheaper than paying for them in a prison; but supporting this reason is effectively putting very small amounts of money in priority over lives.

Therefore, this resolution, if passed, will bring the following into immediate effect:

1) All UN nations will be prevented from killing a convict in the name of justice,
2) And the UNACPB (United Nations Anti-Capital Punishment Board) will be brought into existence in order to ensure that point 1 (above) is enforced.

The Board will have the power to over-rule any sentence where the convicted has been found guilty of a capital offence and sentenced to death. They may, if absolutely necessary, use the power to have the prisoner deported to another country where they will be safe from the death penalty and justly punished using an alternative method. The country the prisoner will be deported to will be a volunteer nation ready to support this proposal while the United Nations solves the problem of the offending nation, be it by sanctions or expulsion from the UN.

IT MUST BE STRESSED that while this resolution will prevent a country from killing a prisoner, it does not place a limit on the alternative punishments the country may decide to impose on the convict.

Capital Punishment is effectively murder and must be stopped!
The UN is urged to enact this resolution and end this indecent practice for good!

*For the purpose of this resolution, the term 'Capital Punishment' is defined as the legal taking of a life by a nation in order to fulfil that nation's law or a court order given by an approved judge or similar counter-part.Illegal, contradicts Fair Sentencing Act.

Am I the only one who sees the joke in that resolution? Because I didn't see anyone mention it. "By Absolving the United Nations, we as a world, can free ourselves from the greatest human rights violation of all time--The United Nations."

The definition of absolve is "to set free or release from some obligation, debt, or responsibility or from the consequences of guilt or from such ties as it would be guilt to violate : pronounce free." So in effect the resolution says that by pardoning the UN we free ourselves from the UN.

I suppose he meant dissolve, but seeking the end of the UN by forgiving it seems just too funny to me.

CONCERNED:That due to the availability of such drugs, they are being used recreationally and improperly.

CONCERNED:That non-prescription drugs are capable of producing dependancy in the same manner as recreational drugs such as heroin or cocaine.

INTENDING: To make the drugs in question available only via prescription produced by a doctor.

WITH THE HOPE: That this legislation would decrease dependancy on non-prescription drugs to solve pain, and increase attendance rates to hospitals and doctors, in turn increasing the detectivity of serious medical issues.

BELIEVING, however, that a man should also have the right to decide what is done about their child,

The UN hereby,

1) DEFINES “life” as the creation of a live fetus(es);

2) DEFINES “abortion”, for the purposes of this document, as anything a doctor would do with the intent to end the of life(s) of a pregnancy term,

3) DEFINES a “both parties” the woman with child and the man being proved the father through a blood test;

4) DECLARES all abortions must have the consent of both parties,

5) PROHIBITS abortion, except in the following circumstances:
a) If the woman in question has not the ability to make a competent decision as deemed by the court, then it will be the mans decision;
b) If the man in question has died, in comma, in competent or otherwise unable to make decision as deemed by the court then it will be the mothers choice;
c) If the fetus(es) is potentially going to harm the mother in the course of the pregnancy then she alone is able to decide;
d) Should the fetus(es) be conceived through means of a sperm bank, said woman has only to show prove of purchase to abort;
e) Should the fetus(es) be conceived in rape or incest consent from the inflicting party shall not be needed. Must show gain proof from a judge that this is such the case.Illegal, contradicts Abortion Legality Convention.

Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Environmental Rebels

Description: Peace with out war
This law if passed, is proposed to make it illegal to declare war if you are in the UN. All UN members must disarm themselves of their nuclear warheads.

REASONS WHY
We humans have long since started wars that lead to the loss of many lives, which could be saved if we changed our ways. Is it us who decide who shall live in harmony and who should not? NO! War is not an educational means of fixing problems, peace is. Let us try peace for once! For that is what we’ve not tried. Countless lives our being killed by our cruel wars! Let us be rid of our military. If we all have no weapons then there will be no need to have nukes to protect ourselves from our countries that have nukes! It is time mankind stepped out of the Age of War we’ve lived in for far too long and into the Age of Peace. It will be hard for many when this change comes, but it will also be the best for plenty. If it is to be that another nation attacks mine, I will uphold the peace and not attack them at all. Illegal, contradicts Nuclear Armaments.

I thought this might be some sort of call for Sting and co to reform? Anyhow, this guy really needs to stop with the caps lock. I'm also not sure how dealing with protests "saves" the police - I wasn't even aware they needed saving.

There's an issue that mentions a clash between protesters and police in which a police officer was killed: I suppose this proposal's author has just been faced with that...

Someone needs to read the resolution they're trying to repeal a little closer.

Even then there is an interesting irony in the argument. Assuming that it was possible to have a blatently illegal proposal go all the way through the queue to qorum, vote and approval, since these rules are technically game mechanics it would be illegal to submit a repeal on the basis of it being illegal because that is not a in character concept in the nationstates UN.

Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: Free Peoples Democracy

Description: It has become painfully obvious that today's society has lost the knowledge of a good and healthy diet. The obesity epidemic infecting the developed world and even spilling over into the 3rd world has gotten out of control. Looking back in history at the Spartans we can see the benefits of leading a fit and healthy life.

We, the people of the region of Lazy Town seek to right this wrong and urge the UN to approve this resolution that will bring the education of fitness and good diet back into the school system where it for far too long has been pushed aside, making it a required subject so our children and our children's children will live a long and healthy life, free of the health problems and diseases caused be a lifestyle of junk food and gluttony.

Proposal: Mandate Excersise and Fitness as a 3 hour per day course of study in school. Also require students at every level of education to study the principles of good health and fitness and require that schools have classes readily available to meet these needs. Realizing fitness and good health is the cornerstone of a great society, these classes should not be no shorter than 1 hour courses per day.Illegal, branding.

Outlaw Subliminal Advertising
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Jamesingtonland

Description: The United Nations,

Recognising the necessity for the use of advertising in business and government, and

Believing that businesses and governments should be allowed to advertise using relevant and fair techniques, yet

Aggravated that some businesses and governments revert to using subliminal messages in order to send information to consumers and citizens when this is a clear breach of human rights.

For the purpose of this resolution, subliminal messages are to be defined as a signal or message embedded in another object, designed to pass below the normal limits of perception; messages indiscernible to the conscious mind, but are perceptible to the subconscious or deeper mind so not immediately recognised by the human receiving the message.

This type of messaging can be used to send commands to the person in question, such as to buy a certain product or to vote a certain party. This breaches the right of humans as individuals as they feel obliged to do carry out the command given to them.

Possibly more severely than companies making consumers buy from them, certain corrupt political parties could use this messaging in their advertising, possibly winning them an election, and so meaning the party is effectively cheating at an election and destroying the democratic electoral system. The outcome of a minor political party gaining power could be dreadful: entire nations could be forced into thinking thoughts which would otherwise be shunned by the human mind, such as racist or genocidal thoughts, using governmental propaganda. Such patterns of behaviour could spread to other nations, meaning entire governments and their electorates would be overthrown by an unfair practice.

For the sake of human rights and political fairness, the UN is urged to outlaw all subliminal advertising and messages.
Fair enough, but already done (http://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=52). Duplication (or contradiction, because if the 'internationally coordinated research' finds subliminal messaging is ok, this would still ban it). Also something of an essay.

Limited branding is allowed. "Limited" means that you may list one co-author by nation name only. Example:

Further branding will result in the Proposal being deleted. Don't list everyone who posted in the thread for your draft, don't list yourself, don't list your Minister Of Making Proposals, and don't post the 'pre-title' of the co-author (ie: "The Republic Of...").

Different religions should also be taught in a strictly academic manner – no religion should be given preference or endorsement over another. The lone exception is when students are being taught in formal religious schools.
2. The curriculum should include border nations, nations within the region, and other regions.
3. With the exception of the border nations, regional nations and regions covered in each member state’s curriculum will be at the sole discretion of each nation’s individual education system based on that nation's history and needs.

So a NM doesn't stay in contrast to the metric system, because it is a unit WITHIN the metric system ;)

Area of Effect: Artistic
Proposed by: Pyschadelia

Description: All schools should have better funding for musical equipment.
This would then lower crime as young people would be doing more productive things with their time.
It would improve artistic talents coming through the schools, which would make nations wealthier in the long term as they would be able to sell their music to other nations, which would cancel out the costs of funding school's music department.
Lower crime would also mean less vandalism which would lower tax as streets would not have to be cleaned and looked after as much and there would be less people in prison so tax would be reduced from that.
Overall musical funding for all schools would lower crime and tax and improve artistic talents.
Illegal, contradicts UNEAA.

Notwithstanding the former proposal's lack of legality, it also seems rather arbitrary. Replace 'music' with any academic discipline, and it would make exactly the same amount of sense.

Proposed by: Datium

Description: Okay, there is an increasing demand for the use of RENEWABLE energy, for example Wind Turbines and Solar Panels. I must say that i agree with the Enviromentalists on this one after all were looking at mass genocide over the next century!

Climate change is one of the most serious environmental challenges to face our planet. Urgent action is needed if we are to avert the threat it poses to many species and habitats, and to people's livelihoods.

our goals are:
to reduce threats - such as wildlife trade and habitat loss - to wild populations of 12 'flagship' species groups:

Chimpanzee

Elephant (Asian and African)

Giant panda

Golden lion tamarin

Hawksbill turtle

Humpback Whale

Iberian lynx

Mountain gorilla

Orang utan

Rhino (black, Sumatran, Javan and one-horned)

Snow leopard

Tiger
to ensure wildlife trade does not threaten additional selected wild populations of plants and animals - including the musk deer, sharks, sturgeon, Tibetan antelope and mahogany. What's this about renewable energy or animals?:confused:

Monkey Soldiers

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


Category: International Security


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Larbeyville

Description: All nations must train atleast one battalion of monkey soldiersIllegal. Falls under the 'nonsensical fairyfeathers' category.

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

Description: United Nations members must increase the funding of schools by at least 10% of what it already is.

Free and Fair Elections

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Highest Spirituality

Description: To recognise every person's God given right to have a say in the nation in which they live.

To build nations with leaders whom the people have chosen

To reflect the true spirit of the UN and recognise how many people sacrificed so much all in the name of political freedom.

To stop Dictators from tarnishing the name of the UN with their brand of politics.

To impose a maximum time spent in cabinet, not to exceed two (2) terms (eight years)

To create the environment within every member nation where free and fair elections must take place at least once every four years I'm pretty sure this counts as ideological ban. Also, since when is there a "true spirit of the UN"? We're pretty much a barely organized mosh pit...

Limit Air power
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: The imperian empire

Description: some factions have an overwhelming Air force. now in the good hands, this isnt so bad, but in the wrong...

I propose a limit to the amount of money that is spent on Air forces per annum and set it to around 300,000,000.

This may sound alot, but with modern day technology it really isnt that much. Which is a good thing.

#1, Restrict global spending on air force development.

#2, Encourage the creation of multicountry air defence systems.

#3 Encourage spending of air force budget on defensive fighter forces rather than strategic bombers.

#4 To encourage the development of precison weapons to reduce civilan casualties if war does break out.

#5 To disband nuclear bomber fleets, they arent needed anymore.

#6 If a country is attacked, it may increase spending, however after the conflict UN weapons inspectors shall disband unnessercary units.

#7 Countries that break this ruling shall face UN sanctions, and the possibility of Weapons inspectors and/or UN peacekeepers to forceably disarm unnessercary units.

Complete Separation Of any Belief/Church And State.

Rules:

§1. Requiring that we tolerate diversity of opinion and that we respect the right of individuals to express their beliefs, however unpopular they may be, without social or legal prohibition or fear of sanctions. Though we may tolerate contrasting points of view, this does not mean that they are immune to critical scrutiny.

§2. Any effort to impose an exclusive conception of Truth, Piety, Virtue, or Justice upon the whole of society is a violation of free inquiry, thus being illegal.

§3. Clerical authorities are not permitted to legislate their own parochial views - whether moral, philosophical, political, educational, or social - for the rest of society.

§4. Tax revenues will not be exacted for the benefit or support of sectarian religious institutions.

§5. church properties share in the burden of public revenues and will not be exempt from taxation.

§6. Compulsory religious oaths and prayers in public institutions (political or educational) are a violation of the separation principle.

§7. Acknowledging that ethics is an autonomous field of inquiry, that ethical judgments can be formulated independently of revealed religion, and that human beings can cultivate practical reason and wisdom and, by its application, achieve lives of virtue and excellence.

§8. Denying that morality needs to be deduced from religious belief or that those who do not espouse a religious doctrine are immoral.

§9. Believing that ethical conduct is, or should be, judged by critical reason, and their goal is to develop autonomous and responsible individuals, capable of making their own choices in life based upon an understanding of human behavior.

§10. Supporting moral education in the schools that is designed to develop an appreciation for moral virtues, intelligence, and the building of character.

§11. it is immoral to baptize infants, to confirm adolescents, or to impose a religious creed on young people before they are able to consent. Although children should learn about the history of religious moral practices, these young minds should not be indoctrinated in a faith before they are mature enough to evaluate the merits for themselves.
