Category: Repeal
Resolution: #41
Proposed by: Robbelia

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

Argument: We, the people of the rogue nation of Robbelia, believe that every nation's government should be free to treat criminals as harshly as possible. How should we else stop crime if do not scare people from becoming criminals? So then, consequently, UN resolution #41, "End barbaric punishment" must go. If you are a progressive nation, and not a soft bellied whimp, you agree that this resolution is a "no brainer" and must be deleted from the UN records. Thank you for your cooperation.

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: New Melancholia

Description: Recent news suggests that less countries than ever are allowing refugees to emigrate into their country whilst a refugee's own country is at war.

The Armed Republic of New Melancholia suggests that whenever a humanitarian war is declared, the country who declares it is DIRECTLY responsible for housing the refugees of the country in question, and has no legal right to refuse any refugee emigrating from the country that they have invaded. This is proposition 25.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 113 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Sat Oct 13 2007

If we weren't going to buzz it for the branding violation, we would have to buzz it for being completely unenforcable (making belligerent nations house refugees? If they win, it's void based on that, and if they lose, it's just another violation in what's sure to be a long list of war crimes.)

Also, why is this Proposition 25 again? I assure you there are more than 24 before it.

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

Time to dump a few junkers here:
Elimination of Sin on Earth

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

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Arsenal Fanatics

Description: Throughout the history of the world, religion has had a drastic impact upon the people who live on Earth. One of the most important values that religion holds is the power to restrain from sinning. It was, in the past, impossible to target where sin originated, but now I have discovered how to eliminate it from its source. The roots of all evil in the world are women. There is countless evidence to back up this charge, starting in the Bible, and continuing through Helen of Troy, and other disrupting female figures in history. The world would be much better off with the elimination of those of the female gender. It is possible to continue humanity through cloning, so this issue won't greatly damage the human race. All it will do is to greatly improve our religious devotion to god.
Bloody Stupid, contradicts Rights of Minorities and Women, and it exalts religions which demonize women and demonizes religions which exalt women/treat women the same way it treats men. Oh, and it also wipes humankind off of the face of the Earth. Yeah, great proposal.:p

Hello Hydrogen, Bye Oil

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing

Proposed by: Urbana States

Description: This bill is a way out of our dependency for foreign oil in a seven-year program of doing away with gas-fueled automobiles. This being that the gas-fueled automobiles would be replace by hydrogen fuel cell automobiles. Below is a list of what the requirements for the producers and sellers of automobiles in UN countries.

Year 1 - 20% of all automobiles produced and to be sold in UN countries are to be a hydrogen fuel cell automobile. Plus, all gas stations must have the same 20% of hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell automobiles.
Year 2 - 30% of all automobiles produced and to be sold in UN countries are to be a hydrogen fuel cell automobile. Plus, all gas stations must have the same 30% of hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell automobiles.
Year 3 - 40% of all automobiles produced and to be sold in UN countries are to be a hydrogen fuel cell automobile. Plus, all gas stations must have the same 40% of hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell automobiles.
Year 4 - 50% of all automobiles produced and to be sold in UN countries are to be a hydrogen fuel cell automobile. Plus, all gas stations must have the same 50% of hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell automobiles.
Year 5 - 60% of all automobiles produced and to be sold in UN countries are to be a hydrogen fuel cell automobile. Plus, all gas stations must have the same 60% of hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell automobiles.
Year 6 - 75% of all automobiles produced and to be sold in UN countries are to be a hydrogen fuel cell automobile. Plus, all gas stations must have the same 75% of hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell automobiles.
Year 7 - 100% of automobiles produced and to be sold in UN countries are to be a hydrogen fuel cell automobile. Plus, all gas stations must have hydrogen fuel for the fuel cell automobiles. Also, the gas stations can have some gas for older cars, which will be destroyed and recycled 5 years from this year, or to be collector items.

The placing of hydrogen plants are to be in areas that use hydroelectric energy. These areas should be near the oceans or large bodies of water and use cleaned water from those water sources. These new companies should be given UN help in building these plants and the UN will be repaid afterwards for the help.

During the programs time car companies will be given some tax cuts to help with the transition, and car companies that go over the percent required would be given higher tax cuts. In addition to this, car companies will be allowed to cut their employees wages by 10-25%. Even if it goes against the deal between Auto Workers Union (AWU) and the car companies, it would allow for less job cuts of workers in the industry.
I believe we just saw this proposal...

World Police

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Bostallia

Description: I believe that the world should adapt a world police force, kind of like interpol.

It should be called... POOP
Weak language (notice should and Significant strength), RL reference, and Bloody Stupid name for the police force, all in one. Oh, whoops, and the UN doesn't get its own army or police force.

Make Trade Fair

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Bostallia

Description: Fair Trade is a growing, international movement which ensures that producers in poor countries get a fair deal. This means a fair price for their goods (one that covers the cost of production and guarantees a living income), long-term contracts which provide real security; and for many, support to gain the knowledge and skills that they need to develop their businesses and increase sales.

Fair Trade and the Make Trade Fair campaign
The Fair Trade movement has been one of the most powerful responses to the problems facing commodity producers. It gives consumers an opportunity to use their purchasing power to tilt the balance, however slightly, in favour of the poor. But Fair Trade alone can't address the crisis faced by the millions of small-scale farmers and producers whose livelihoods are threatened by low commodity prices and unfair competion from rich countries.

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: New Melancholia

Description: Recent news suggests that many countries are closing their borders to refugees of war, claiming that their country cannot handle the extra influx of people.

This UN resolution would change the law, so that for every humanitarian war the country that declares the war becomes directly and solely responsible for housing those who are displaced by the war.

This should reduce the number of wars declared and make the country declaring it more accountable for their actions.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #223
Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny

Description: UN Resolution #223: Max Barry Day (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: These here fine United Nations,

Commending Resolution #223's laudable purpose, to recognize truly great men and their achievements;

Duly congratulating this resolution's intended honoree on his many titles from coed beauty pageants throughout the NS world;

Expressing its concern, however, that this resolution breaches the reasonable limits to which this body has traditionally held itself;

Chagrined that amidst the many serious problems the world faces today, including war, terrorism, poverty, oppression, corruption, pestilence, disease, famine, malnourishment, starvation, taxes, illiteracy, substandard education, substandard sex education, imperial measurements, necrophilia, space junk, nations not labeling chemicals correctly, shortages of computers for schoolchildren, invisible tree people, shortages of computers for invisible tree schoolchildren, rampant ecclesiastical self-defenestration, and reluctance to eradicate the Arctocephalinae, the United Nations would actually pass a resolution declaring an international holiday for some dude who started a Website suggests that this institution's priorities are somewhat out of whack;

Randomly kicking ambassadors in the nuts for even thinking this proposal was a good idea,

Hereby repeals Resolution #223: Max Barry Day.

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Stalira

Description: The economic gap between the rich and poor in many UN menber nations is increasing. By attempting to level the playing field, the economy would have greater stability. Economic control would not be in the hands of the elite.

Oh happy day. More work for me, alas.

Someone either had a really messy breakup (talking severed limbs messy) or desperately needs to stick his cock into something other then his own hand...
He'll certainly have more time for searching, as the "Genocide=UN ejection" ruling was imposed. He won't be making any more proposals with that nation.
It wasn't any better when it was called Proposition 25, you know.Proposition 25 had branding. This one doesn't. Sadly, I think it's actually legal, apart from a mild case of Strength violations ... and it's utter inability to reach quorum.

I dare say that this proposal is another one of them category violations - that's right, the correct category is "game mechanics."
Not really. He never actually gets around to proposing anything. Rather than Game Mechanics, this one falls afoul of the Empty Rhetoric ruling.

Relaxing Gun Laws
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: Canadia ehe

Description: Recognizing: That all citizens should have a choice wether to carry a weapon.
Implying: that these weapons should be conceled.
Proposing: that the entire globe should be allowed to carry a concealed handgun in public places.
Implying: that it would be for there own protection against criminals.

What globe do they mean? Their use of "entire" is confusing, but I really don't think globes even need guns.

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

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing
Proposed by: Pusik XI

Description: The car emission standard must be raised to help the environment and conserve resources.
An annual emission test for all nations should be in place for testing.
All cars below the standard should be immediately disposed of.
New cars below the standard will not be allowed to be made.
Car prices should be reduced for affordable cars.

O-kaaaay...
So you're saying that, in order to test emissions, we need to make an emissions test. Good thing you pointed that out for us. But how is this test supposed to be carried out?
What is the new standard supposed to be? And are people with cars that are over the standard just S.O.L. and left without a vehicle to drive?
And what does lowering car prices have to do with anything?

Proposition 25 had branding. This one doesn't. Sadly, I think it's actually legal, apart from a mild case of Strength violations ... and it's utter inability to reach quorum.
Does it contradict the Refugee Protection Act (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7030195&postcount=66)? By my reckoning that has the UN accepting responsibility, so the nation declaring war can't.

Proposed by: Tri-State Pentoria

Description: UN Resolution #223: Max Barry Day (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: REALIZING that Max Barry is a great person and did, indeed, create this game.

NOTING the fact that the rules clearly state:

"The second common mistake is to put forth a proposal which is not entirely within the NationStates world. UN proposals cannot address the rules or mechanics of the game, nor can they ask for new features. Proposals should also not address events, things, or people in the "Real World"."

PROVING that Proposal #223 is in clear violation of the rules that govern this world.(The same rules set forth by 'Max Barry')

COMPROMISING with the original proposal, it shall be perfectly acceptable for individual nations to celebrate a holiday of the same date and name.

BELIEVING that the original proposal, irregardless of rule breaking, will not further the UN's goal of bettering the world by creating holidays which are compulsory for nations in the UN to celebrate.
Metagaming, plus not as funny as Kenny's.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #121
Proposed by: Project Quantum Leap

Description: UN Resolution #121: Adoption and IVF Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Individual nations should have the right to determine who is fit and worthy to adopt a child. This resolution is too permissive, and opens the door for children to be adopted by unfit parents.

For the love of children and a national sovereignty, the UN hereby repeals Resolution #121.

Illegal, uses NatSov as its only argument.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #40
Proposed by: Pusik XI

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

Argument: Land mines are an old part of war that however is not to be considered a lethal weapon.

Necessary for the defense of several nations around the globe because of them being effective and not expensive to build.

Civilian losses will occur without the use of land mines and war in itself destroys farmland, and several strategic "choke points" could be closed in defense with land mines.

This UN Resolution REPEALS UN Resolution #40, Banning the use of Landmines.

Landmines aren't lethal? OK...

A resolution to develop industry around the world.

Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation
Proposed by: King Krimson

Description: For the past 100 years Industry has been the scape goat for so called "Environmentalists" seeking nothing more then anarchy.

Although it is true that during the distant past industry was responsible for a significant amount of polluting due to the lack of technological ingenuity(we were using steam engines dammit)

But now more then a 100 years after the start of the Industrial Revolution we're in a new age of technology and moral self regulation.

It's time for the government to concentrate on more important matters (such as extending rights to all mechanized citizens) and stop wasting tax dollars regulating a system that's clearly capable of regulating itself.

RL reference, plus the fact that not all nations have reached their industrial age.

Proposed by: The lepearchauns

Description: SEEING that the amount of pollution in the worlds lakes is ever increcing,
AND that individual countries will not act alone to stop this.
ALSO knowing that these lakes are a vital source of fresh water to both nature and man kind.

Pollution will be defined as any plant, animal, or substance introduced on purpose or accident by man.

I propose that each nation contribute to a task force by means of funding and man power to eradicate all forms of pollution in the worlds lakes.

This force will develop and utilize the latest tachnology for the romoval of all types of pollution.

They will also enforce new laws banning the further pollution of world lakes due to chemical dumping, sea water ballast tanks, the introduction of non-native species and, human ignorance.

They will work to control all non-native species and stop the spread of these if possible.

Pollution will be defined as any plant animal or substance introduced on purpose or accident by man.

With hope and effort by all nations, the worlds lakes will be clean, safe, drinkable, and full of native species for years to come.If I'm reading this right, if this were to pass the act of stocking a lake with fish would be considered pollution.

International Torture Trade

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Quintessence of Dust

Description: The United Nations,

Strongly reasserting its absolute stance against torture, as affirmed in several previous resolutions, and in general,

Concerned that certain devices used for torture can still be freely traded within and between nations,

Expressing its hope that by restricting the trade in such devices, an important further step towards effectively eliminating torture will be taken,

And regrettably recognising that many devices having otherwise legitimate applications can also be employed in acts of torture, and that trade in these devices cannot realistically be restricted:

1. Defines, for the purposes of this resolution:
- 'torture' as any act of violence or ill-treatment perpetrated against persons for the purposes of coercion, intimidation, punishment, interrogation or the obtaining of information or forced confession;
- 'torture equipment' as any device of no practical use other than in the administration of torture;

2. Prohibits the production, possession, transfer or use of torture equipment, including acting as a broker for such transfer or the rendering of technical assistance.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 113 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Wed Oct 17 2007As noble as the thought behind this resolution might be...
1) What about S&M toys? They're designed for what the author defines as torture, but the people those toys designed for actually enjoy it...
2) How much would this actually reduce torture? I can get pretty creative with a fist, a car battery and some jumper cables or a length of barbed wire and a salt shaker. Of course, all those objects fall outside this resolution.

Description: This is to have each nation to reserve at least 1% of its total land mass as a wildlife preserve; preferably more if possible. This land should have diverse ecosystems and be an area of study for ecologists, botanists and zoologists. Some of these reserved areas could even traverse borders making the preserve larger if bordering nations can bilaterally or multilaterally agree.

I'm pretty sure some nations do not have a nessisary 1% Unless the nation decieds to stuy architecture.

Indigenous Cultures Areas
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Churchians

Description: This is to have at least 1% of a nation's land mass reserved for the use of indigenous cultures who are not willing to join the mass society of technological progress and have alternate lifestyles. More than 1% would even be better if available. This land would be reserved with the approval of the indigenous residents as areas to preserve alternative forms of knowledge and would be a great place for anthropologists and other scholars who study alternate societies to visit and share with the mass society any discoveries of interest and to offer to the indigenous the free passage to our societies for any of their scholars who wish to learn from us.

See above.

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

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing
Proposed by: Mars Redlands

Description: We finally have the technology to start using a cleaner automobilistic technology.

I suggest we, the united nations, in order to prevent a natural disaster and perhaps the end of humanity, Ban the production of new oil powered vehicles for civil uses, instead, civilian car makers will have to develop hydrogen cars instead and we shall start to develop hydrogen stations next to the oil ones, in 10 years, oil cars shall be totally i-legalized and oil stations shall only be used by the country's armed forces if necessary.

Assums nations can make hydrogen cars/only use gas powered ones/have cars.

As noble as the thought behind this resolution might be...
1) What about S&M toys? They're designed for what the author defines as torture, but the people those toys designed for actually enjoy it...
2) How much would this actually reduce torture? I can get pretty creative with a fist, a car battery and some jumper cables or a length of barbed wire and a salt shaker. Of course, all those objects fall outside this resolution.

I'm pretty sure some nations do not have a nessisary 1% Unless the nation decieds to stuy architecture.

:confused:
My goodness, are you suggesting that a nation can not dedicate 1 portion out of 100 to some project because all portions are used up? The only possible nation that would fall under this category would perhaps be a city-state.... but even a city nation would be wise to have some kind of park.... besides the nations in nationstates are not physically described on any precise level so if you wanted to you could claim that your nation has all the possible ecosystems available within your borders, who can dispute that.... this roleplaying game allows fanciful elements of the imagination to take root.... Some have even designed fleets of varying warships. I don't think anyone is going to say how the designs do not reflect tactical realities of modern warfighting. I think you are nitpicking my proposal as silly or illegal.

Your argument that you use is an excellent argument to vote against the proposal in the first place and it can be debated if it even makes quorum. But claiming that the proposals are silly or illegal is unwarranted. You can have your country disagree that 1% dedication is too much effort, but claiming that having the idea is itself silly under the confines of the existing rules is unfortunate. :(

Repeal "Max Barry Day"

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #223

Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny

Description: UN Resolution #223: Max Barry Day (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: These here fine United Nations,

Commending Resolution #223's laudable purpose, to recognize truly great men and their achievements;

Duly congratulating this resolution's intended honoree on his many titles from coed beauty pageants throughout the NS world;

Expressing its concern, however, that this resolution breaches the reasonable limits to which this body has traditionally held itself;

Chagrined that amidst the many serious problems the world faces today, including war, terrorism, poverty, oppression, corruption, pestilence, disease, famine, malnourishment, starvation, taxes, illiteracy, substandard education, substandard sex education, imperial measurements, necrophilia, space junk, nations not labeling chemicals correctly, shortages of computers for schoolchildren, invisible tree people, shortages of computers for invisible tree schoolchildren, rampant ecclesiastical self-defenestration, and reluctance to eradicate the Arctocephalinae, the United Nations would actually pass a resolution declaring an international holiday for some dude who started a Website suggests that this institution's priorities are somewhat out of whack;

Randomly kicking ambassadors in the nuts for even thinking this proposal was a good idea,

Hereby repeals Resolution #223: Max Barry Day.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Finsvenigor

Description:
The United Nations

DEFINING an intercontinental ballistic missile ("ICBM" collectively "ICBMs") as a land-based ballistic missile with a range in excess of 5,500 kilometers.

DISTRESSED, because often ICBMs are used primarily as a destructive weapon meaning, that on impact it shall cause wide physical damages on the target region, as well as losses of several military and civilian lives.

CONFIRMED, that the ICBMs may be used not only as a destructive weapon, but as a tool in delivering of humanitarian aid as well including, but not limited to:

1) Food Supplies
2) Clothing
3) Recreational Equipment

GUARANTEED, that once the supplies are delivered in the nose cone of the ICBM (which varies in model), they stay intact fairly undamaged.

FURTHER CONFIRMED, that the launch of single ICBM is much more safer to the pilots and more economically, than launching several aircraft fleets.

NOTING, that if a Nation's administration would be ashamed of delivering humanitarian aid for any personal or diplomatic reason, the ICBM may protect their anonymity.

DISTRESSED, that during the peacetime several Nations, which possesses one or more ICBMs, cannot use them on any other cause, but a destructive one, thus seeing, that this option may be a severe hit to the governmental budget, as the up keeping costs of the ICBMs usually are very high.

ASSURED, that by this act nations may not only help those in distress, but also help THEMSELVES by removing inappropriate targets in military budget spending.

REQUIRES, that at least once in a year a Nation, which possesses one or more ICBMs, should send an ICBM with humanitarian supplies to the location, they've selected.

APPROVING, that a nation, according to their pure discretion can launch as much humanitarian aid ICBMs, as they want.

ENCOURAGING, that in order to protect the in-flight ICBM from foreign nation's counter measures, modify the ICBMs external coloring and (according to the national technology level) emplace a radio transmitter to identify it as a humanitarian aid ICBM

FORBIDS, that by this way a nation may not send an ICBM, which will bring destruction upon impact.

Not all UN member nation's populations are human.

The quality of the proposal aside, I wonder if this actually makes it illegal.

The rules mention the great variety we have in the UN, but I don't recall them making it a requirement to acknowledge it. It is definitely bad form and poor etiquette not to do so; but unfortunately it seems like it is still legitimate. Furthermore, given that a great majority of players actually ignore the RP aspect of the game, it seems that acknowledging the different species of the UN would not improve the proposal's chance of passing.

It is clear the author doesn't know/care or simply forgot to acknowledge the different sentient species present in the UN. Does this really warrant deletion?

Let me be clear about this, I am not defending the proposal. I do not agree with ignoring the non human species in the UN. I am just sharing my thoughts on the matter. Perhaps taking a close look at the problem will help us figure out a solution.

Description: Recently a bill imposing "Max Barry Day" was enforced, this was promptly followed by the "Repeal "Max Barry Day"" bill. This was a contradictory repeal as it tells us that too much time and effort is spent honoring the creator of the webpage, but time and effort was then spent repealing the holiday. Some would say this is also a contradictory proposal but I believe time should be spent honoring this great, god-like man. So I propose we declare the original date set Max Barry Day.
I think this manages to create its own House of Cards violation by referencing legislation already deleted (i.e. the "original date"). That or it's tacitly including the entire previous resolution, and therefore has all that dross's metagaming violations as well. Either way, nuking it from orbit pour encourager les autres seems like a good idea.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: SAC SIOP

Description: Purpose:

The purpose of the Peace through Deterrence Act is to bring about global security through the assurance that no nation can gain an advantage over another in strategic weapons deployment.

Significant Terms:

Weapons of Mass Destruction- Chemical, Biological, Nuclear Weapons

ICBM- Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

IRBM- Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile

SLBM- Sea Launched Ballistic Missile

Treaty:

This treaty provides for global disarmament through a five part process that is outlined below.

1. Nations will dispose of all chemical and biological weapons over the next ten nation state years. Countries will be required to submit to UN inspections and will only be allowed to keep small amounts of their chemical and biological agents for research purposes (i.e. finding cures for deadly diseases). The amount they are allowed to keep will be determined by their current inventory. Each nation will be allowed to keep one percent of their inventory for research.

2. Nations who have IRBMs will be forced to reduce the number they have to fifty percent of their current inventory through dismantling them. Nations will be forced to remove their remaining IRBMs from their deployment bases and put them into storage. They will not be allowed to redeploy them unless they can prove to UN inspectors that there is a clear and present danger facing their nation and the only way to counter it is through redeployment of their IRBMs. Nations with IRBMs will also submit to UN inspections to ensure there could not be an accidental launch of an IRBM.

3. Nations who have ICBMs will have to submit to regular inspections by UN inspectors. UN inspectors will inspect ICBMs and their forward deployment bases to ensure there is no possibility of an accidental launch of an ICBM. Furthermore every ten NS year’s nations will be forced to phase out twenty five percent of their oldest ICBM force. Nations allowed to replace them with newer or upgraded ICBMS.

4. Nations with SLBMs will be required to reduce their force by ten percent of their current inventory. Furthermore nations will only be allowed to deploy twenty five percent of their remaining force at a time unless they can prove to UN inspectors that there is a clear and present danger that can only be stopped by deploying a larger portion of their SLBM force. Furthermore nations with SLBM forces will be forced to submit to UN inspections which will ensure that an accidental launch could not happen.

5. Nations that are members of the United Nations will be forced to comply with the terms stated above. Failure to do so will result in trade sanctions and possible military action if deemed necessary. Illegal, duplicates the UN Bio Agent Convention.

a. This GL will be created by using the most common roots, grammatical rules, etc. of the world's languages in order to create a hybrid language recognizable at almost face value to any and all educated persons.
b. This panel would have seven (7) years to complete its task.

2. Once the GL has been completed, U.N. member nations would be required to teach it as a second language in schools starting as early as their school system would allow, while not taking the place of any other languages still taught there.

3. All major road signs, international documents, governmental meetings, instruction manuals, etc. will be written with the GL as the primary language.
a. Once each nation's literate population has a <90% literacy in regards to the GL, this section would be put into effect.You have to love clause 3a, if less than 90% of a nation's population can read the language, everything has to be written in it.:D

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Proprieters

Description: Nuclear power, or more specifically, nuclear weapons, has brought the inequality between nations of the world and the U.N. to Hypocrisy.

Those nations that are proficient in the manufacturing of nuclear weapons have much more influence than those nations that do not. Most of this influence is derived through fear of the event of using such weapons of mass destruction. But these weapons are never used due to the eminent reaction of nuclear winter, which would bring about the destruction of nearly all the world's population with the fall-out. It is foolish to have such authority due to the weapon that, if used, screw you over as well. And why the positive effects of the enrichment of uranium must be deprived of a nation because the nations that have used their uranium enriching programs to build weapons fear an adversary with the same destructive power they possess.
In the past, bans on nuclear weapons were enforced; but were met with treachery by the same nations that agreed to such a policy. As a result of every individual nation's irresponsibility to humanity, the problem is no longer getting rid of nuclear warheads, but giving them to nations. It is unfortunate that the U.N. must come to a weapon to assure every country has equal authority, but it will ensure we are truly united; under a blood-sealed pact ensuring that if one nation chooses to use such a weapon, all others will follow in suit.
This policy would ensure that:
• Nations wishing to join/remain in the U.N. would agree to this policy.
• The nation receiving the warhead did so understanding that it’s warhead, nor any other warhead will be used, it is merely to keep even perspective.
• The institution of nuclear war would be avoided, as all nations are equal in military aspect.

It only requires one (1) warhead of today’s capacity to induce nuclear winter. This policy would prevent such an end to humanity. Illegal, contradicts Nuclear Armaments, specifically the fact that Nuclear Armaments allows nations to not possess nukes if they so choose (and to think the anti-nuke people were so stridently opposed to my resolution, and in this case it's actually working in their favor :D).

# We propose that the secretary general adopt a counter-gambling strategy and will consider it in the general assembly with a view to adopting it.

# We affirm that the targeting, by casinos and online gambling sites, of civilians cannot be justified or legitimised by any cause or grievance, and we declare that any action intended to incite illicit gambling, when the purpose of such an act, by its nature or context, is to intimidate a population or to compel an individual to place a bet or wager, or to abstain from not placing a bet or wager, cannot be justified on any grounds and constitutes an act of theft.

# We resolve to conclude a comprehensive convention on international gambling, including a legal definition of gambling, during the next session of the general assembly.

# We recognise that international co-operation to fight gambling should be conducted in conformity with international law, including the United Nations charter and relevant international conventions and protocols. States should adhere to the principles of good governance, respect for human rights, and the rule of law in the fight against gambling.

# We acknowledge the important role played by the United Nations in combating gambling and also stress the vital contribution of regional and bilateral co-operation, particularly at the practical level of law enforcement cooperation and technical exchange.

# We urge the international community, including the United Nations, to assist states in building regional and national capacity to fight gambling. We further invite the secretary general to strengthen continuously, in consultation with the general assembly and the security council, the capacities of the United Nations, its relevant funds, programmes and specialised and related agencies, to assist states in these endeavours.

# We commit to assist victims of gambling (i.e. the losers) around the world and to provide them and their families with support to cope with their loss and their grief.

# We call on the Security Council to consider ways to strengthen the verification, monitoring and enforcement by the council in its role in counter-gambling, and streamline its counter-gambling subsidiary bodies, including by consolidating states' reporting requirements."Secretary general," "charter," "Security Council?"

If you just want to ensure that every nation that creates a constitution for itself does so in the way that you've specified then the correct category would probably be 'Furtherment of Democracy', although you might face arguments from nations that don't have a 'Supreme Court' and from nations that don't allow voting on anything else.

If you also want those constitutions' terms to take priority over UN resolutions in the event of any contradictions between them -- and it looked to me as though that might be what you intended, although I couldn't be 100% sure -- then you simply can't do this within the rules. Full stop.

These are the United States, Russia, The United Kingdom, France and China. This resolution propose to remove the 5 permanent seats on the UNSC and replace them with rotating members whose membership are selected every 5 years through a democratic vote in the United Nations General Assembly.

1) RECOGNIZING that the current system of maintaining 5 permanent members goes against the democratic ideal;

2) NOTING that the 5 permanent members have abused their veto powers, and continue to abuse this powers to vote on global security issues in their own interests;

This resolution propose to reform the Security Council by removing all 5 permanent nations and replacing them elected members, so that even non-nuclear countries may serve a term on the council, as long as they gain the support of the General Assembly.

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: A Steel Fisted Regime

Description: A significant threat to several nations has developed into a worldwide problem.

Airborne objects have been noted over several nations restricted airspace. Major complaints include Alien spacecraft, Flying camels, hippopotamuses and squids. This last point was initially met with scepticism but the squid have been noted to be gliding rather than flying.

Obviously these are serious issues. “No one wants camels or hippopotamuses flying overhead, there is a serous risk of high velocity manure…rocketing down your chimney or even on your head!” reported our international expert, who not only attended university but almost received a Batchelor of Arts! Plus he wears glasses and a lab coat. Well, a long white shirt. Well, a light-coloured t-shirt.

Squids are even more of a problem with their inky excretions. And aliens. I mean, they’re green. How can that be a good thing?

All of these have been noted around high drug-use areas; clubs, schools and parliament buildings make up 76% of sightings.

Obviously these are creatures out hunting the pot. So the solution we propose is threefold:

1) Set up one nation (our nation will volunteer) to have compulsory drug-use laws requiring at least two highs an hour. These should draw all these creatures to the one spot. This nation has a large air force to shoot down these threats. Nuclear missiles are recommended. Fighter jet pilots may be required to reach as many as seven highs an hour to lure these beasts within range and prevent their fleeing.

2) All drug use to be conducted inside (especially smoking, which would serve as a beacon to drug hunting aliens in their trippy-ships.

3) Blindfolds to be worn with all drug use outside the compulsory drug-use zone, and perhaps inside (debate is needed over whether blindfolds are a good idea for nuclear-armed fighter jet pilots when flying high and flying high). Because it is obvious that when it comes to flying enemies, if we can’t see them, they can’t see us.

Urgent action is neaded. Funding would be nice too.Flying hippos? I thought Sirocco's nation ceased to exist.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #4

Proposed by: Uranium rich lands

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

Argument: For many, the world is a horrible place. For all it is a very dangerous one. Far to many of its members live off of less than one dollar a day. Women and children are beaten or slaughtered by the despotic regimes scattered across the face of the earth. Children born in to poverty face no future to speak of, no edgucation, and no chance to better their lives. The threat of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destructions being used by the very real organizations which feed off of these horrible lives is clear, and very present. Global Pandemics seem only a small mistake away.

It is obvious that the work of the United Nations, to help to fight these dangers and horror stories is one that should command the full support of all states. To limit the ability of the United Nations to collect funds by any means necessary is absurd, and dangerous. To put the important work of the UN at the will of the unreliable and too commonly politically motivated governments which control funds is ridiculous. I urge you to repeal this ban. "Far to many of its members live off of less than one dollar a day." And here you are wanting to make those people even poorer by allowing the UN to tax them.

From these reasons one may see the dangers in using nuclear power plants which is why the UN should ban the use of them.Point 1 there just killed 20 catgirls.

Proposed by: Instralianstan

Description: This resolution would significantly limit uranium mining. Passing this resolution would (1)Put a severe limit on uranium mining, (2)Ban the complete destruction of rainforests to allow room for uranium mining.

This resolution will help prevent deforestation and limit the amount of nuclear weapons nations can produce, thus reducing the chances of nuclear war. It is a win-win.

Description: The Confederacy of Allied Governments Hereby puts in a proposal for the construction of a joint-project Fusion Reactor Prototype. The purpose of this is to develop the clean, limitless, and powerful energy created by a Fusion reaction. This joint venture comes in three sections:

Section 1: All participating countries must provide either a large sum share (Along the lines of 1,000,000,000) or provide an equal amount of Materials required.

Section 2: All participating countries must provide the necessary labor and brainpower needed for this venture.

The requirements for this Fusion reactor are as follows: The project will be considered complete when it meets the following criteria:

A.) Capable of sustaining a reaction where the energy being used to maintain the Fusion reactor is less then the energy being created by the reaction itself (aka. Self-sustaining.)

B.) The Fusion reaction is sustainable for at least 48 continual hours.

C.) The production methods of creating a Fusion reactor is feasibly viable for economic commercial and industrial use.Illegal, branding.

Decision: Legalize

Proposed by: Berutica

Description: Proposal for the Permanent Legalization of Marijuana

The legalization of marijuana will benefit the worlds populations in many ways. It would end much of the organized crime because one of their major revenue sources would now be legal. It would also create jobs for poorer countries who depend on farming for income. Not only that but governments tax revenue would increase not only giving them more money to fight crime in their countries but costing them less because they would no longer have to wage a war on marijuana. Unlike legal drugs like alcohol, pot does not induce aggressive behavior, it is a social drug that's worst characteristic is that it causes laziness.

Another valid point is that our overcrowded prison system would decrease in population saving even yet more money and also creating room for the criminals we really need to worry about.

Lastly, lets face it, the world would be a better place if we could all get together and get HIGH!Illegal, contradicts UN Drug Act.

Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: The Alantic Borders

Description: This resolution will provide funding to governments who wish to privatize their educational system. In this way, citizens can choose what they believe should and needs be taught, to better adjust for their own societies. This will allow a broad scope of learning to be achieved and help prevent any chance of a international, politically bias educational system, of which the people did not choose. This is a fundamental element of freedom.

Section 1: Any country who wishes to privatize their educational system, will receive aid, based on the size of their system.

Section 2: The U.N. will not interfere on what subjects are taught, as long as what is taught, does not infringe on previous, present, or future U.N. Resolution.

Section 3: No one may be denied entrance into a school receiving funding, if they fall between the ages of 6-18 years of age.

Section 4: This is not mandating all nations to privatize their systems, ONLY those who choose to, on their own accord.

Section 5: The distribution of this funding will be decided on a need basis. Those who do not need funding will receive much less than those who do.

Quite frankly the U.N. needs a space program. Many Earthly problems could be fixed by the colonization of other worlds. Overpopulation, pollution, and over filled prisons are just a few of the problems facing this world. with access to other astrological bodies at our deposal we could do anything.

-Civilian goals:
1. Colonize other worlds to stem overpopulation on Earth
2. Boost economy by opening mining, manufacturing, and agricultural industries on these other planets.
3. Make possible contact with extra terrestrials and if so set up trade and diplomatic relations with these peoples.
4. Set aside some of the more inhospitable planets as prison colonies to stem the over crowding of Earth prisons

-Military/ Science Goals:
1. Create the U.N.S.C. (United Nations Space Command)
2. Create a U.N.S.C. space fleet to protect Earth and its colonies from threats (astrological bodies, hostile extra terrestrials).
3. Explore known and unknown space in the name of science.
4. Dispose of toxic waste on the non-habitable planets.

3) An organisation is to be se up to which said students will belong, so that they can communicate with similarly minded individuals. Possibly a union at higher levels of education.

Most of these changes should be funded by the governments of the corresponding state, but in cases where this is not possible, the UN membership will fund this programme to ensure a fair outcome for all.

2.It would not be a tax but optional richer people are usually look down on these kids and teens sometimes with favor and somtimes not and if not they will be charged for children and teens are our future aren't they?

3.Children should be taught more education and should be respected.Teens though will be allowed to get tax money from S.T.P.T. Save a Teen Program and Tax.

4. Since children and teens are our future all N.S. nations will have a S.T.P.T.HQ and a S.C.P.F.HQ and little stations throughout the nation.

Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: The Alantic Borders

Description: This act will allow more freedom to nations to develop their military as they see fit to protect their borders and interest else where in the world. This will allow a nation to form and build their military without having to follow guidelines put in place by other nations. Thus, nations can in one sense, be sovereign.

Section 1: A nation may be free to build up their armed forces as they find necessary. A large force is still subject to U.N. Resolutions for their acts.

Section 2: No funding from the U.N. can be used to build up a nation's military force or to pay off the wages of their service members. It is allowed, however, for nations to lend or give money to another for military purposes. The selling, buying, giving, and receiving of armored vehicles, air craft, or weapons to/by a nation, is still subject to U.N. Resolutions that pertain to the acts.

Section 3: Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Weapons are not allowed to be trafficked from their place of origin. As well, the development of these weapons are discouraged and are subject to U.N. Resolutions. Nations with the population of one billion or more are to cease development of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. This will allow much smaller nations, if attacked, to respond with the force necessary to defend themselves.

Section 4: Compliance of this Resolution, will be enforced/monitored by the creation of the U.N. International Security Committee. Violations will be punished by economic sanctions, international pressure, and possible U.N. supported coalitions.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Cool Funky Chicks

Description: In many parts of the world, children are used as soldiers by government armed forces and armed political groups. This resolution aims to establish stronger measures to end the use of child soldiers, and increase the severity of punishments for persons accused of the crime.
Children are used in armed conflict as a source of cheap, expendable labour, and are different from adult soldiers as they are eager to please and have not yet developed a sense of right and wrong, and thus are relatively easy to condition into obedient killing machines, unable to comprehend their actions.

The UN and all its member nations are strongly urged to comply with the following points of this proposal:

ARTICLE 1
All persons below the age of 18 shall be prohibited from joining the armed forces of any country, whether by the government or any other armed political group. A child is defined as any persons under the age of 18. This applies to both international and internal armed conflicts.
(a) Children shall not be recruited into the armed forces by any government or armed political group.
(b) No government is allowed to legalise the use of children as soldiers.
(c) Children shall not be used to promote propaganda or for propaganda purposes by any government or armed political group.

ARTICLE 2
The use of child soldiers is considered a war crime. All nations must ensure that all persons accused of the crime are investigated and prosecuted accordingly.

ARTICLE 3
All nations must pressure countries using child soldiers to abandon the practice.
(a) Governments and armed political groups sanctions applied to them by the UN and the international shall have the following community if they continue to use children as soldiers:
(i)Arms embargoes shall be imposed on countries that use children as soldiers.
(ii) Restrictions shall be imposed on the flow of financial assistance to the parties concerned.
(iii)Government and insurgent leaders shall be excluded from any government structures and amnesty provisions.

ARTICLE 4
All parties concerned shall be required to demobilise child soldiers and they shall provide assistance for the physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration of all child soldiers.

Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize

Proposed by: The Alantic Borders

Description: This resolution will allow nations to decide for themselves whether or not to legalize or outlaw gambling. This will render the U.N. powerless to interfere with the laws regarding gambling and focus more attention on more important issues. Nations will then be rendered more control of their government and decide the moral or open policies which they will follow. This is detailed in the following two (2) articles.

Article I:
A nation will be responsible for passing and enforcing their own legislation regarding gambling:

Section 1: The U.N. cannot pass any resolutions pertaining to the act of gambling.

Section 2: What forms of gambling are legalized/outlawed are left up to the Nation's their selves.

Section 3: The punishment of people who fail to pay off their gambling debt is to be punished however their government sees fit. This is still subject to U.N. Resolutions past, present, and future, to the types of reasonable punishments allowed.

Article II: Nations may decide (though this is inferred in Article I, but just to clarify) to tax a percentage of winnings on their own accord:

Section 1: This may pertain to all forms of gambling or limited to certain types.

Section 2: The U.N. shall not receive any money gained through this taxation of gambling.Illegal, pure blocker.

Resolution: #211

Proposed by: AndrewStewart

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

Argument: Description: The United Nations,

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.

I dont believe this to be true. Pleas lets change this, the ICPN has too much power!!!?!?!!?!Plagurization of the resolution they want to repeal.

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

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: The People of the D

Description: This resolution would limit the powers of the UN in order to ensure individual nations' rights and improve relations with non-UN nations. This proposal was made before and received much support; obviously, however, it did not pass, I am re-proposing it in hopes that it will gain more attention.

This Proposal would limit the UN's power in the following ways:

1. The UN cannot lawfully enter or invade any nation, UN or Non, without permission from said nation or just cause. Just cause in this case is that the nation in question is failing to follow UN protocol(UN nations only); or making itself a threat to the UN or any of it's nations.

2. The UN may not gather Intel or use any other surveillance techniques against any nation, UN or Non, with out just cause. Here, just cause is defined as a perceived threat against the UN or one of it's nations; or the suspicion of a UN nation failing to follow UN protocol.

3. The UN must recognize and allow all traditional and cultural acts within any Nation UN or Non; however, if a practice within a UN nation severely breeches UN protocol, the UN may make steps of stopping said action.

4. UN resolutions apply to UN nations and UN nations alone; furthermore, the UN must recognize the freedom of Non-UN nations to exercise their government however they see fit.
1 and 4 are just saying what the game mechanics mandate at the moment. 2 is either doing the same thing or, if your definition of "other surveillance techniques" is wide enough to include any monitoring information, contradicts whole swathes of UN legislation that (for example) monitor endangered species, water pollution and so on. 3 is either duplicating that resolution about cultural heritage of minorities or contradicting whole swathes of human rights legislation, again depending on your reading of it. Given that this is a resubmission, this guy needs to be pointed in the direction of the rules.

Proposed by: Rolamec

Description: International Day of Peace Resolution

Preamble:

We live in a game in which regions are invaded and defended every day; in which people become sworn enemies and hate each others; a virtual world in which peace is often forgotten by wars, invasions, and revolutions. Therefore, we propose the following be implemented by the respected members of the United Nations:

Article I.

Every July 10th shall be known as the International Day of Peace by the United Nations and her sovereign members. During this day we ask those to remember the wars that have come and gone in our history of the human race and respect those who have been lost. We also encourage people to stop invading and defending for this day and remember we live in a world in which peace should be our goal.

Article II.

Article One does not require nations to lower their defenses or to cancel their invasions. We simply ask that all nations do this to truly honor the people who have fallen over time due to wars. This resolution has no intention of making vulnerable any respected member of the United Nation by lowering their defenses.

Article III.

Due to national sovereignty, the passage of this resolution would not require all nations to adopt this proposal. Rather, the United Nations organization would recognize this day, and all nations would be encouraged to adopt this resolution through popular vote or legislature approval.

Conclusion:

We hope to only recognize peace as our mission in life. We only desire to respect and honor the civilians and soldiers who have fallen in the past, present, and future. And we request the respected Members of the United Nations to endorse this resolution for passage and for peace.

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Proprieters

Description: Nuclear power, or more specifically, nuclear weapons, has brought the inequality between nations of the world and the U.N. to Hypocrisy.

Those nations that are proficient in the manufacturing of nuclear weapons have much more influence than those nations that do not. Most of this influence is derived through fear of the event of using such weapons of mass destruction. But these weapons are never used due to the eminent reaction of nuclear winter, which would bring about the destruction of nearly all the world's population with the fall-out. It is foolish to have such authority due to the weapon that, if used, screw you over as well. And why the positive effects of the enrichment of uranium must be deprived of a nation because the nations that have used their uranium enriching programs to build weapons fear an adversary with the same destructive power they possess.
In the past, bans on nuclear weapons were enforced; but were met with treachery by the same nations that agreed to such a policy. As a result of every individual nation's irresponsibility to humanity, the problem is no longer getting rid of nuclear warheads, but giving them to nations. It is unfortunate that the U.N. must come to a weapon to assure every country has equal authority, but it will ensure we are truly united; under a blood-sealed pact ensuring that if one nation chooses to use such a weapon, all others will follow in suit.
This policy would ensure that:
• Nations wishing to join/remain in the U.N. would agree to this policy.
• The nation receiving the warhead did so understanding that it’s warhead, nor any other warhead will be used, it is merely to keep even perspective.
• The institution of nuclear war would be avoided, as all nations are equal in military aspect.

It only requires one (1) warhead of today’s capacity (100kt) to induce nuclear winter and dangerous effects caused by radiation. This policy would prevent such an end to humanity. I do believe that this should be this proposal's third strike.

Resolution: #6

Proposed by: Narogam

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

Argument: Although the country of Narogam agrees that enslavement of another human being is wrong, this resolution not only fails to define what is and is not slavery, but has also attached riders to itself. It is not the UN's right to change another country's culture and way of doing business by attaching such riders as:

Rider #1: Giving people the ability to leave his/her job, given two weeks' notice
Rider #2: The right to travel freely throughout their country.

Rider #1 is just another attempt to control business in a foreign country when business should be the concern only of the country and those directly involved. How a country runs its businesses, and under what laws business shall be run, is the sole responsibility and right of the country itself, not the UN. This rider also does not define what is meant by a job, or whether it is a government related job or a civilian job. This rider gives an individual who has received training for a government/military related job the ability to decide not to deliver on the individuals obligation to its country after government funds have been spent on his training. In essence, the individual robs the government of the taxpayers' money. Therefore, I propose that the definition is unclear.

Rider #2 is not only unrelated and therefore irrelevant in context with the topic and main purpose of said resolution, but also implies that a person is able to walk right into a government restricted area, therefore compromising the security of the nation as a whole, as spies/terrorists would therefore have the same right to do so.

This resolution is also focusing on emotional appeal rather than justice and equality. It is using the stereotype that all slavery includes torture, chains, and whips. Though I agree that such methods are barbaric, I disagree with the resolution using the emotions, rather than logic and reasoning, of human beings. It is not the business of the UN to make others feel a specific way about another's situation. Doing so, in effect, limits that person's right to express themselves in any way they choose, including the right to choose sides in the issue of slavery.

I also propose that the definition of slavery is completely unclear and based on Civil War-type slavery. This is a stereotype that is common. The definition of slavery in this resolution is the result of the author's own biased opinion and misguided views. The author of this resolution does not say what is slavery and what is not slavery, thus countries are at the mercy of the UN, as the UN can change its definition of slavery at any given time. It could be argued that this resolution implies that civilian jobs are in effect a form of slavery that must be abolished.

All in all, as the purpose of this resolution is unclear and motivated from personal bias, I move to repeal this resolution.Illegal, branding.

Whereas, Scientists agree that this comet, which is coincidentally about the size of Tallacinimundastien, will wreak havoc if allowed to collide with our world; Scientists do not agree on the comet’s mass, trajectory, composition, or velocity; nor do Scientists agree on the effect that any collision may have; Scientist project that the date of collision wildly ranges between Jan 1, 2008 and Friday, Oct. 13, 2013.

Whereas, this United Nations, recognizing that our species and the other life on our world may be faced with extreme devastation or eminent extinction, desires to preserve ourselves and our friends.

Nowtherefore, the UN mandates the following actions from its member states:

Article 1
To assign top scientists to a newly formed Scientific Committee dedicated to identifying extra-worldly threats, including Comet Tallacinimundastien, and dedicated to developing technological solutions to eliminate or reduce such extra-wordly threats.

Article 2
To deliver, whenever a genuine extra-wordly threat is identified, sufficient industrial and military resources, proportional to each Member States economy and military, to implement any technological solution promulgated by the Scientific Committee to neutralize such genuine extra-wordly threat, such as Comet Tallacinimundastien.

Article 3
To solicit, whenever a genuine extra-wordly threat is identified, non-member states to readily contribute to this unified effort to defeat extra-wordly threats, especially the perilous Comet Tallacinimundastien.

Since this is my first proposal, and since I have read the UN Policy, I have to ask why this was deleted. The comment "Can't we just fire the I.G.N.O.R.E. cannon?" isn't very helpful. Is there rules against humor (did you catch it)? plot? story? Issues are written this way, why not UN proposals?

Also, as I said in the thread you started, Article 2 sounds too much like forming a UN-lead military for comfort.

Minimum Democratic Standards
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Free Hanover

Description: A Resolution to fix a minimum of democratic rights in all UN member societies.

ACKNOWLEDGING that all UN member nations agree in the democratic decisions as political way of introducing new laws, rights and duties, this resolution wants to enforce a minimum democratic standard in each member state.

$1
All member nations install the minimum democratic rights that are defined below.

$2
The minimum democratic rights do not effect the constitutional type of a nation. These rights do also agree with a monarchy or anarchy. If a dictatorship is the will of people the basic rights will enable that, too. The UN has not the right nor power to change a type of government.

$3
Now the definition of Basic democratic rights.
1. The will of people is given by regularly voting.
2. This voting includes the set-up of a kind of parliament, soviet or council. This voting can include the choice of a prime minister or comparable but this shall be optional to every state.
3. The voting includes control instances for the three fundamental powers within any state (a) judgement, (b) executive i.e. police forces and / or army; and (c) law preparing and deciding organs. Voting deals independently with each of this organs.
4. Each voting must offer a choice between at least two candidates.
5. Any circumstances that obey temporary different government (e.g. war, catastrophes) enable a short time deviation of this democratic rights. Nevertheless, any non-democratic government has to re-introduce the minimum democratic standards as soon as possible.
6. The active right to vote has to obey human rights values, i.e. equal treatment of men and women. A minimum age of voting is legal.
7. The passive right to vote (to be elected) has to be open for public and has to be transparent. National limitation (e.g. candidate must be native inhabitant) are allowed as long as law restriction is (a) public known, and (b) changeable by majority in voting procedure.

Category: Political Stability

Repeal "End slavery"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #6
Proposed by: Alba Scotland

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

Argument: Reasons for the repealing of UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #6 'END SLAVERY'.

1) The resolution fails to define what exactly slavery is. Could a parent be classified as a 'slavedriver' for making their child wash dishes? Without a classification of slavery, the resolution is too broad to be fully forced.

2) "The right to leave her or his job, given two weeks' notice." This also is too broad. It fails to mention any specifics for contracted workers, full-time workers, on-call workers, part-time workers etc. For a contracted worker to be able to double-cross their employer with just "two weeks notice" does not seem fair nor logical.

3) "The right to travel freely throughout their country". Does this mean that we should be allowing every Tom, Dick and Harry who happens to be in work into our Embassys, our Governmental Buildings and our Army/Naval/Air Force Barracks and Camps.

4) "The right to bodily safety from one's employer." This again appears to be too broad. Certain professions require physical contact between an employee and employer. Where does the resolution draw the line between normal contact and something that could be deemed to breach "bodily safety"?

5) "The outlawing of the selling or purchasing of people." Once again this is too broad to be fully implemented. This resolution would mean the end to jobs such as Sportsperson, Exotic Dancer, Prostitute, Builder, Plumber, Technician etc.

The resolution is too broad and should not have been passed in the first place. Alba Scotland does not support "slavery" as it would be defined by most people, but this resolution lacks significant detail as to what exactly "slavery" is.

Repeal "End slavery"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #6
Proposed by: Roma Neptuni

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

Argument: Understanding the inherent apprehensiveness to slavery and acknowliding that the practice does present some human rights issues:

This resolution clearly infringes on each and every nation's inherent right to institute and/or ban cultural or economnic practices they deem fit.

Further, it is every nation's right to determine on its own how to treat their populace, and if slavery is deemed fit in that nation, then the practice should be allowed.

Concluding, what others deem as right cannot be forced upon any nation unless they come to that conclusion on their own. That is a nations greatest right: a choice. It thereby goes against the spirit of the UN and its original intent to ban slavery, and, therefore, passage of this resolution will result in the repeal of the formerly passed resolution 'End Slavery'.

Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Shivydom

Description: Shivydom proposes the highest quality education for every child. All nations should seek this, for the children of our nations are our future.
Similiarities to the "No Child Left Behind Act" may be significant. But however, where that law went wrong, I suggest that we run schools 365 days year. So that way we can assure the educations of our children today!

What I propose is:
1) Schools that provide the assistance that they may require. In all areas.
2) Private tutors paid for through the expense of the Education system, not the parent.
3) A more hands on interactive learning center, to make learning a little more self-paced.

Shivydom believes this would greatly improve education, and would save on educators from striking. Illegal, branding and contradicts UN Educational Aid Act.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #227

Proposed by: Shivydom

Description: UN Resolution #227: Air Pollution Convention (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #14

Proposed by: Jakuhai

Description: UN Resolution #14: CHILD LABOR (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Making children work is immoral and wrong. Children should get to play and have fun. Also, if they had to work from dawn to dusk, they wouldn't be able to go to school and get a proper education. And then, what if they didn't know how to do something and did it wrong? I have a few examples:

1)If a child that worked in a kitchen didn't know how to turn off an oven, a fire would be the cause of it!

2)And what if a child was a waiter and a vegitarian ordered a #7, and the child didn't know what it was? He might bring back the meatiest thing on the menu!

Understand what I mean? Making a child work could be the worst thing possible to do for our natons!Has the author actually read the resolution they want to repeal?

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #10

Proposed by: St Michel de Britannia

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

Argument: In society today worrying things can be communicated through the mail, using the internet or simply using the phone. Without Government intervention in sone of these areas society would be chaos. Living in a big brother state can have its advantages. Without a certain degree of privacy intrusion terrorism and other acts of violence like organised crime and gang culture could not be stopped at the source, and instead would go ahead unhindered and without the police or other government organisation's know about. In this respect this resolution is completely insane and could in real life circumstances potentially cost thousands of people their lives as a lack of communication has already.A repeal so nice, they submitted it twice.

Hurray for resolutions that are broad beyond all sanity...I'm pretty sure that passing this resolution would result in convoys full of child porn and heroin crossing borders... It would be an interesting social experiment I guess, but I doubt it'd do much good.
Actually, trade in child porn is prohibited under Child Pornography Prohibition.

Category: Political Stability

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: NSDAR

Description: This resolution will prevent frivolous international laws from being past that affect a nations control of its own economy.

1. The resolution will directly target international socialism by destroying a nations control over another nations labor and energy output.

2. This resolution will bring back the economic autonomy of the state.

3. Only in time of when a nation is harming another nation
can economic laws be passed.

Although the main theme of this resolution is a nations economic autonomy we still believe that it is a nations responsibility not to harm another nation by pollution.

VOTE YES FOR INTERNATIONAL FREEDOM!Illegal, blocker.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Vacatti

Description: The purpose of this resolution is to send a strong message that political freedom is important, and that "fringe" and possibly "terrorist" groups must be given room for speech as long as it does not interfere with the security of a given nation.

No nation shall have the reserved right to close down or shut a political organization without the express permission of the United Nations Political Group Watch, whose sole purpose will be to monitor extremist and or fringe group for signs of acts against humanity in the effort to get across a point politically and or religously.

The point of this bill is to protect the free expression of political viewpoint without the hinderance of government oversight. The free expression of a viewpoint must be allowed to occur in an open setting, free from opression and or violence towards the group.

On the other hand, the group must agree not to engage in activities that would intentionally harm or degrade the integrity or national security of a given nation.

Nations who participate in the active closing of political groups must be given stringent fines or sanctions. The hinderance of political expression is a crime against humanity and futhermore, a crime against the Nations of the World.

The Nation of Vacatti is prepared to announce this resolution on the floor of the UN should it be approved. Illegal, branding.

This will prevent the spread of std's and violence. There will be a set price for everything and the "workers" will be paid a set rate, the pimps that they currently have will have to yield to government regulations and will become smaller managers.With this passed will be able to trade this workers with other nations when needed this will help out the over all economy because it will be bringing in new business. Another benefit is that this will bring back the middle class which will make the gap between rich and poor less. We will get the money to pay these employees by raising taxes for the rich.The reason I know that this will be very profitable for everyone is because we have already started to do this and it has paid off really big for us.Illegal, duplicates The Sex Industry Worker Act.

Proposed by: Vacatti

Description: The Solar Energy Act will require the abolition of all diesel and gasoline using vehicles and transit services replacing them with solar powered alternatives. This would not only save our enviroment, but it would also lower the effects of global warming. Solar Power utilizes the power of one of our greatest resources, that being the sun, and it eliminates the usage of costly resources such as petroleum and other fuel products.Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses

Proposed by: Vacatti

Description: The purpose of this act is to eliminate the need of a traditional power grid, and replace it with that of solar panels. A Traditional power grid causes tax payers in many countries a huge burden, and in some situations makes electricity an unaffordable commodity. By utilizing solar panels everyone will have the benefit of electricity in their own homes while taking a strain off the consumer. Power Grids and power plants also put a strain on our enviroment through ecological pollution. Solar Power is safe, user friendly, and effective.

I propose that all nations be required to implement solar power for homes, business, making the traditional power grids and power plants irrelevant, and useless, thus saving our enviorment from undue pollution. Gah! It's like Promotion of Solar Panels is back, only worse.

Description: This resolution would make Genocide a crime worthy of invasion. If a nation commits an act of national genocide then they will be brought before the UN Security Council and promptly "invaded" by peace keepers who will find together, an alternative government or whatever the solution need be, to end the Genocide.

This resolution would effect every member nation as Genocide is abhorrent and should be avoided at all costs. Human life is a valuable commodity and must not be sacrificed for any political cause no matter how attractive or lucrative.
We don't have a Security Council and this appears to violate the No UN Army rule.

Category: Education and Creativity

ROCK the UN would be a concert that could accommodate 1,000,000 people in the physical audience, and a viewing audience of virtually the entire world.

Resolution: #174

Proposed by: Genis-Vel

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

Argument: After reading through this for the first time I have concluded this is not a UN problem.
This is more of a problem for those nations who have had contact and are interacting with this area of space.
I am proposing that we instead make a sepreate union for those nations who have caused this problem and they fix this.
I am not a space concerned leader nor is my nation, but yes I am concerned with other nations space ships landing on my house, but I am not going to pay out so you can fix your own problems. I say this because the UN Resolution "urges all UN antions to work together to clean up unidentifiable and/or small debris currently in orbital space..." This is no issue of mine I am not helping I will leave the union before I am paying to protect my nation from UN members and there exploits gone wrong. This resolution also fails to bring into light just what are the responsibilites of UN nations who did not create this problem. Repeal this "SPACE SAFETY ACT".

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing

Proposed by: Southern Hoen

Description: As the word is threatened by global warming, very few countries are doing anything about it. Many countries worry that by limiting pollution their economy will drop. There are many more pros then their are cons.

Advantages

1. More types of fuel can be developed which can provide many more job opportunities, and make everyday life easier.

2. Natural habitats will not be harmed. Today there is an increasing demand for all natural, and non farm raised products, by preserving habitats people can get what they want.

3. Natural resources will be preserved, and crop production will increase due to the healthy clean water.

4. Companies will flourish, prices to package their products will decrease.

5. The shipping business can improve, by using Eco-friendly cars and other vehicles costs of fuel will decrease.

How will it work.

1. Every year mayor business will be forced to make a 5% cut back on emissions.

2. All cars must be hybrid.

3. Governments must put at least 15% of taxes into developing Eco-friendly products, such as cleaner fuel types, cleaner energies, Etc.

4. All NEW public areas should have Geothermal heating.

5. Power companies must begin to develop cleaner energy plants, such as geothermal, wind power, and hydro electric.

6. Restriction must be placed on the development of natural habitats, and the collection of natural resources.

7. Biodegradeable items, such as food scraps must be placed in compost bins.

8. All recyclable products must be placed in recycle bins, by not doing so both public, and private areas are subjected to a fine, the equivalent of 100 Dollars.

9. Rain barrels should be used to collect water flow from gutters, and use that water to flush toilets, clean clothes, and water plants.

Improving the word might sound like a very tough thing, and having business might suffer, BUT ITS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO BUILD A NEW EARTH.Illegal, Clause 8 contradicts Fair Sentencing Act, and by reading what this affects, it should probably be listed as "All Businesses."

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Atlantidum

Description: The trafficking of human beings is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people for the purpose of exploitation. Trafficking involves a process of using illicit means such as: threat use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.
Exploitation includes forcing people into prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs. For children exploitation may include also, illicit international adoption, trafficking for early marriage, recruitment as child soldiers, for begging or for sports (such as child camel jockeys or football players), or for recruitment for religious cults.

So I call upon governments to:

a) Take all appropriate measures to eliminate demand for trafficked women and girls for all forms of exploitation;

b) Criminalize trafficking in persons, especially women and girls, in all its forms and to condemn and penalize traffickers and intermediaries, while ensuring protection and assistance to the victims of trafficking with full respect for their human rights; and

c) Adopt or strengthen and enforce legislative or other measures, such as educational, social and cultural measures, including through bilateral and multilateral cooperation, to deter exploiters and eliminate the demand that fosters trafficking of women and girls for all forms of exploitation;Don't we already have a resolution on human trafficking?

This next one I've got to go through clause by clause.
Category: Political Stability

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: The People of the D

Description: This resolution would limit the powers of the UN in order to ensure individual nations' rights and improve relations with non-UN nations.

This Proposal would limit the UN's power in the following ways:Oh look, it's a blocker, we're already into illegal territory.

1. The UN cannot lawfully enter or invade any nation, UN or Non, without permission from said nation or just cause. Just cause in this case is that the nation in question is failing to follow UN protocol(UN nations only); or making itself a threat to the UN or any of it's nations.The UN can't invade anyone anyway, we don't and can't have a military.

2. The UN may not gather Intel or use any other surveillance techniques against any nation, UN or Non, with out just cause. Here, just cause is defined as a perceived threat against the UN or one of it's nations; or the suspicion of a UN nation failing to follow UN protocol.I knew those Gnomes were up to something sneaky.

3. The UN must recognize and allow all traditional and cultural acts within any Nation UN or Non; however, if a practice within a UN nation severely breeches UN protocol, the UN may make steps of stopping said action.In other words, nations can do what they want, unless the UN says you can't. Isn't that pretty much the way it works already?

4. UN resolutions apply to UN nations and UN nations alone; furthermore, the UN must recognize the freedom of Non-UN nations to exercise their government however they see fit. Well of course they do, that's written into the code of the game.:rolleyes:

Concerned that incest may unwittingly be committed by those conceived vis-a-vis gamete donations.

1. REQUIRES UN member nations to limit the amount of gamete donations a person can make to 8.

2. ADVISES member states to require persons conceived from gamete donations hoping to conceive a child to undergo testing to assure they are not related to their significant other.

3. SETS the minimum payment to those donating gametes at 100 US dollars or the regional equivalent thereof.

They're emissions are destroying the planet as we speak. The Republic of Shiloba thinks governments should supply (or at least sell) hybrid, and other energy efficient cars, just as much as ordinary cars.

Perhaps some nations could even offer citizens free cars. This may require funding, and it may be a hard job, but it is an investment for every single person on the globe. The actions we take now, may save generations in 100 years.

CONSIDERING the different financial situation of each individual nation, the increase does not have to be immediate, but rather incremental over the next TEN YEARS, allowing each nation the autonomy they rightly deserve in the decision making process.

This proposal is also written in the hopes, should it be ratified by this great assembly of nations, that it will inspire Non-Member nations to do the same, and that our children, and their children's children will reap the benefits of a good quality education.Someone doesn't understand Glog's caveman status.

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

Argument: This is a pointless resolution and should be struck down as such.

The UN can only raise taxes via resolution and thus they could only get tax raising power by resolution. They have no authority within our nations other than that from another resolution (which would be binding despite this resolution). Thus we do not need a resolution banning the UN from taxing us.

In fact, this resolution implies that they do have rights to interfere with individual nations without a resolution. Thus, it actually strengths the UN, and lessens individual nations right, the exact opposite of it's intention.

The UN has no authority other than it's resolution and this Resolution must go.

We the people of the United Nations resolve to establish the office of the Governor General to temporarily assume control of a nation within the Untied Nations, or to assume control of the Untied Nations itself in a time of Global Catastrophe.

On a National Level:
1. The Governor General will take part on the day to day politics of the nation in an effort to prepare for the unthinkable.
2. The Governor General will assume emergency control of the nation until a new leader is selected upon the leaders death.
3. The Governor General will be elected from among the people, to ensure the prevention of corruption in his/her selection.
4. The Governor General CAN NOT declare war.

On a Global Level within the UN:
1. The Governor General will make visits to the nations within the UN to familiarize himself/herself with the workings of the various nations.
2. The Governor General will be in charge of a Review Comitee in order to prevent corruption.
3. The Governor General will be elected by the regional delegates.

Description: UN Resolution #19: Religious Tolerance (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Fellow members of the United Nations, I urge you to repeal this resolution.

The UN exists to prevent war and genocide, and to serve as a forum for communication between nations. It does not exist to "support and promote a greater understanding
of all religions and promote more tolerance of differences of religion." This resolution tacks on a meaningless duty that only forces the UN to spread itself so thin it becomes impotent.

Furthermore, we must recognize that there are clear differences between religions, and that not all religions are equal. Some form of Satanism that advocates torturing and killing thousands of people should not be tolerated and should not be considered in the same way as a peaceful religion.

Finally, it is not the duty of the UN to specifically oppose all wars fought in God's name. If Crusaders or Jihadis are waging a war to topple a genocidal regime, I contend that it is the duty of the UN to support these religious fighters.

PLEASE BE REASONABLE! REPEAL THIS RESOLUTION!Psst, forum formatting codes don't work in proposals.

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Foolands

Description: The author:

REALISES, that child labour should be defined as the forciful act upon children that they should do hard labour without being paid.

HOWEVER, reasonable payment for a child's services (with the child's agreement and, or parents' agreement) does not constitute child labour unless it is for illegal activities such as prostitution and drug trafficking.

HEREBY suggests that the United Nations allow children to work based on the suggestions above, so that the economy can be developed, and that children can gain experience should they choose to work. Illegal, contradicts Child Labor.

Description: We should encourage the breeding of bears and their use in warfare. It has always been proven that bears are better for policing than humans. This is due to their incredibly violent tendencies. They do not hesitate to kill their enemies.Stephen Colbert is screaming in terror at the thought of this.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Torkaria

Description: Basic Argument:
Child labor is defined as the act of employing a child under a set work age to work for a corporation. Child Labor has been frowned upon as well have those who practiced it. The UN has done little to prevent it, however. It is a cruel act that shows a complete disrespect for human life. The children are paid below minimum wage and are often kept in basements and in-humane conditions. If passed, this resolution would ban child labor and penalize all who practice it. The details of the resolution are as follows:

Article 1: Penalties for Child Labor
Any companies who are found to be practicing child labor or are endorsing it will be subject to a fine and will be forced to go before a UN court. Also, if the child(ren) have been taken from a family without their consent, than the company who took these children must pay a set amount to the family in addition to the standard fine. If the child(ren) are wounded in any way, the company must pay for the medical bills. If they are unable to pay these fines than they will have to send a set amount of their GDP to a UN fine fund which will then distribute the money to the families of the worked children.

Article 2: Exceptions
A country may only use child labor under the following circumstances:

1. They have a special UN permit

2. They pay the children at or above minimum wage

3. The children and their families must agree to the employment

4. They either provide adequate housing and basic necessities or send the children back home after the work day was done

5. The level and hardship of the work is to be determined by a child's age and abilities
( for example, no 7 year old children hauling mining carts)

6. The children must be older than 10 years old

Any violation of the above rules will result in an immediate cancelation of the permit and the necessary fines and punishments will be implemented.
Illegal, duplicates/contradicts Child Labor.

Resolution: #91

Proposed by: Pasong Tirad

Description: UN Resolution #91: The Sex Industry Worker Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: "1. DECLARES prostitution legal throughout the UN: any person who is mature ,and capable of making their own decisions may become a prostitute."

Whereas hundreds of Nations fight hard to stop prostitution everyday.

"2. EMPHASIZES that legalizing prostitution must coincide with regulation from the government, such as health and safety and other employment legislation, just like any other profession."

Whereas we must not help promote the legalization of prostitution to UN Nations.

"3. RECOMMENDS nations that want to limit prostitution to tackle the issue by its roots and create education and social programs that will give more choice to people who might want to become a prostitute."

Whereas we must not let people choose were they to be a prostitute or not.

"4. REQUESTS all nations to stimulate a clean and attractive working environment for prostitutes, and advises cooperation with the sex industry to renovate old "illegal" prostitution areas in towns and cities."

Whereas prostitution must stay illegal throughout UN nations even through all precautionary measures the said UN nation may or may not partake.

"5. CONDEMNS child abuse and slavery in accordance with earlier UN resolutions (End slavery, Child Labor, Outlaw Pedophilia, The Child Protection Act, Ban Trafficking in Persons, etc) and advises strong punishments against people involved with these despicable crimes that explicitly are not covered by legal prostitution."

Whereas, if prostitution were legal then the said UN Nation would not be able to handle the prostitution throughout his/her said UN Nation.

To summarize the repeal, proposing the destruction of prostitution in the sex businesses and industrial laws in the prostitution business. Illegal, includes new legislation in the repeal.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Warbler and Pecker

Description: The Constitutional Monarchy of Warbler and Pecker proposes the following UN bill in preparation for it to become an act.

It relates to the combined strength and will of the UN and its nations whilst ensuring guaranteed protection and ample support.

Under the current circumstances of international security it is deemed that certain nations are more at risk than others of unprovoked attacks and terrorist actions.

Act 1) The UN should enforce peace keeping initiatives upon all of its nations whereby every nation is obliged to supply at least 20% of its military in times of need where the UN sees justification for the need of peace keeping troops.

Act 2) Furthermore, when peace keeping troops are sent into a country it should follow that in the result of being fired upon the troops may return fire in a co-ordinated way regardless of who shot at them, resulting in the attackers attempting to retreat the UN will decide as to whether or not the said attacker is to be retained as a prisoner or to be shot. If the attackers choose to turn their backs upon the UN troops then UN troops may continue to shoot provided they do not shoot at vital spots, this means that they can kneecap those who were the first to engage them.

Act 3) If any UN nation should go to war with a non-UN nation then the UN will supply a task force of at least 5% of the total UN forces strength in support of this said UN nation, provided:

i) They have clear and honest justification for the War

ii) An impartial nation is in support of the act of war (this can be a Un nation).

iii) The UN nation has specifically asked for UN assistance.

Act 4) UN troops may fire first in any said situation provided it is deemed necessary if:

i)The situation appears hostile.

ii) They are in a volatile area.

iii) Later the incident is reviewed by a co-ordinated panel of the UN to ensure the action was justified accordingly.

Act 5) The UN may use nuclear weapons on certain targets when several UN nations are attacked by one rogue state in quick succession. This is to be the last resort possible; but under a majority vote of UN nations it will be deemed acceptable to allow this, especially upon extremely aggressive targets.

Act 6) Any nation, whether UN or not that is found to be committing Genocide or "Ethnic Cleansing" is to be immediately attacked by all UN nations in a co-ordinated effort whereby the culprits are to be tried under the correct war crimes acts. If found guilty the culprits are to be executed or locked away for life accordingly and that country is to be governed under international law by the UN nations that got involved. It is imperative for all nations to supply 1% of their country's income in a collective way so that the affected country can re-cooperate.

Thus completes the proposed bill for ensuring that UN nations have ample support and guaranteed support from each other.Illegal, branding, attempts to create a UN army, and probably more that I missed.

Description: TO ALL MEMBER NATIONS:

ACCOUNTING THAT, a fiscal system akin to the Gold Standard holds countries responsible for currency factoring, and;

ADMITTING THAT, many fair nations necessitate an accountability to high inflation rates which a multi-lateral standard would stabilize immediately and with lasting effects, and;

ACCUSING THAT, too many nations reflect a spiraling trend towards debt to independent, economically powerful nations, and;

DULY NOTING THAT, a global credit standard still allows for nationally unique tender while unifying the international market and providing a facilitator for inflation on a multi-national level, therefore resolving;

May these United Nations here assembled provide a framework for a Global and International Digital Credit Standard, or D.C.S.. This calls for wealthy nations and poor alike to have a lateral fiscal medium to be used in large-scale transactions and the international market. In order to hold nations and corporations responsible for their wealth, this system must be created to instill overall stability to our domestic and foreign investments. The GI-D.C.S. mandates that all countries affixed to the U.N. immediately credit all circulating currency. This system will put D.C.S. exchange rates to a global mean, sequentially stabilizing the market within a D' Haelian One-Decade.

UNDERSTANDING that this will be a hard task and will take a while to find a solution.

DECLARING that this is a state of emergency for all countries. Therefore, all countries of the UN should be involved.

THE worst fire seasons in America have been happening in later years: 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2006.

Article 4:

Human Population Control

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

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Bulleville

Description: Is it moral and ethical to allow those who have less financial resources to have as many children as they want?

The costs of raising a child in this world are increasing exponentially each year. Each child deserves to have a full and happy childhood, without having to compete against siblings if their parents lack the money to fully provide for all their children equal.

I propose that laws be created to limit the number of children people can have according to their annual income. We should divide the world's people into groups of the rich, the average and the poor. The rich may have up to 4 children, the average may have up to 2 children, and the poor may only have 1 child. If a family breaks these's laws, their youngest child will be taken and placed in foster care or in a government or privately funded orphanage. If a family's financial status changes for the better, they may ask for their children back. If it changes for the worse, the youngest child will be forcibly taken and placed in foster care.

The result: strong, happy families that don't have to go without. Also, in the long run, the human population will gradually decrease as the average person will only be having 2 children. This means we can stop creating new suburbs, and save rain forests or other natural treasures. These laws will be fair to all countries because the divides between rich, average and poor will be unique to each nation, but with emphasis on the average people making up at least 70% of the population.

Embargo against fascist regime

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Barhar

Description: Since human rights are universial and all humans born equal in rights and dignity, we cannot stand how certain oppressive regimes treat their people and establish systems of exploitation, oppression and violence. Fascism is the nowadays nemesis of all free people around the globe, and it is not acceptable to support such states openly by freely trading with them. Those countries should be frowned upon and their regimes weakened by isolating them and hit them at their vital spot.

Thus the United Nations proclaim a trade embargo against all fascist regimes, to let their economical systems implode and collapse.
Silly. Also doesn't specify the extent of the embargo so I'll assume it includes medicine, thus contradicting earlier legislation.
Repeal "Air Pollution Convention"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #227

Proposed by: Cardinal Ximenez

Description: UN Resolution #227: Air Pollution Convention (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: I, Cardinal Ximenez of the Holy Spanish Inquisition, request that Resolution #227, "Air Pollution Convention", should be declared null and void. *TWO declarations*

The reasoning behind this request is that the United Nations Environmental Agency is a body that clearly interferes with the free running of sovereign governments, who are deemed to do whatever is best for their citizens and businesses. For instance, article 4 mandates "the creation and maintenance of monitoring stations in member nations". This could be clearly used by spies within the UN or second, I mean, third parties to access sensitive information about the monitored nation.

Furthermore, under the guise of "transboundary" air pollution, the clear intent of this resolution is to damage large businesses in UN nations. If the intention of this act is to monitor the aforesaid "transboundary" pollution, why must the monitoring stations be created within the borders of the states? Polluting industries may be so far away from other nation boundaries as to make these "transboundary" pollution negligible.

It is for this reason, I mean *TWO reasons* that Cardinal Ximenez requests this act to be repealed.

However, Cardinal Ximenez acknowledges that willing UN nations may act on their own interests towards nations which they consider to be harming their environment and their air quality. The UN, however, should not take such steps as to restrict their own members' freedom to do as they please within their own borders, even if it means damaging their livelihood.

So that's THREE reasons why this resolution should be declared void. Then I can continue burning what I want, when I want, who I want. Raise the stakes, fellow Cardinals!

Proposed by: Vacatti

Description: The purpose of this act is to make readily apparent that the usage of drugs in a workplace must not occur because it creates a negative work enviroment, can cause death to other in a healthcare setting, and death to others in a law enforcement setting.

UNDERSTANDS the right that some countries have given to its citizens to use and utilize drugs freely as they please.

RECOGNIZES the effects of drugs in the workplace as a negative deterrent to workplace productivity. In the long term, workplace productivity determines profitability. And the inability to create a profit can and often results in bankruptcy which results in the closing of business in question.

Description: This resolution is inadequate for today’s times.

If a worker is paid weekly they should be allowed to give a weeks notice and the same if paid daily. The resolution is too specific on this issue.

The employer has rights as well, not to be used and abused by their employees. The resolution only recognises the employee.

Selling of people, what about sports people on contracts; what if they want to be sold they can earn money from it. They should have the freedom to choose. The resolution needs to recognise the modern working contract.

The resolution does not take account of slavery in marriage through arranged marriages.

The resolution does not cover slavery of children forced to work for little or nothing by their families.

Repeal "No Embargoes on Medicine"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #33

Proposed by: Barhar

Description: UN Resolution #33: No Embargoes on Medicine (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution interferes too strongly into internal affairs of every nation. If a seperatist group starts a rebellion and murders the innocent and is then attacked by the government it should not be supported by other nations to endanger the nations stability. There should either be a total acceptance of every nations integrity or none at all, no grey zones please.

Since such a non-embargo policy offends every nations integrity it should be repealed at once.
Illegal. NatSov can't be the sole argument in a repeal.
International Army

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Torkaria

Description: In the interest of international security, I propose that and international army be made. This army would be funded by all the countries in the world. If a country could not afford to fund it, they would not have to. The army would comprise of soldiers and equipment from every country could is willing to take some of its national army and give it to the international army. This army would do the following things:

1) In the event of a terrorist attack, the International Army would work with world leaders and national armies to assist in finding and eliminating the terrorists.

2) If a war comes to light that threatens global security, the International Army will come and participate in that war.

3) If any national army request additional forces to fight a war that the International Army is not currently fighting in, than the International Army may send reinforcements to aid the national army.

4) If the International Army grows big enough, important politicians may be allowed to hire International Army members to escort them or to protect them.
Violates the "no UN army" rule.
Repeal "Rights and Duties of UN States"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #49

Proposed by: Barhar

Description: UN Resolution #49: Rights and Duties of UN States (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: These defined laws and responsibilities interfere with resolution #22, especially Section 1 Article 2. So either repeal this resolution here or #22, else we have a unsolvable paradoxon. So more likely repeal #22 instead.
How the heck does Rights and Duties of UN States interfere with Outlaw Pedophilia?
Repeal "Metric System "

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #24

Proposed by: Aniane UN State

Description: UN Resolution #24: Metric System (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: We the People of Aniane and of our subject states concur that although the metric system although A fine system of measurement, we cannot force it upon anyone in the world.
Forcing things with such pointless significance onto the nations of the world is an Infringement and Abomination onto the rights of a Sovereign Nation.
This repeal recognizes that it is the right of the Individual nation to make such decisions as Systems as measurements for its people. This resolution also recognizes that it is the Right of nations to make such insignificant decisions for themselves

It is sad that you do not comprehend the logic behind an embargo. Indeed embargos go for all ware exchange and trade in services, etc. What should be silly about it?
What's silly and/or illegal about it is that you:
A. Targeted a specific political philosophy.
B. Could have avoided contradicting No Embargoes on Medicine by inserting the magic words "except where previous UN legislation still in effect forbids the employment of embargoes".

I have to assume that in your logic the UN itself and its members are unable to stop market activity and should not, in your eyes.
The UN is well capable of doing so, but you can't contradict existing legislation.

This may be your own point of view, but sadly the resolution has disappeared before voting ended. What has happened? If it was claimed illegal? And why was I not informed?
It may have just expired. When did you submit it?

Argument: This resolution is inadequate for today’s times.

If a worker is paid weekly they should be allowed to give a weeks notice and the same if paid daily. The resolution is too specific on this issue.

The employer has rights as well, not to be used and abused by their employees. The resolution only recognises the employee.

Selling of people, what about sports people on contracts; what if they want to be sold they can earn money from it. They should have the freedom to choose. The resolution needs to recognise the modern working contract.

The resolution does not take account of slavery in marriage through arranged marriages.

3. Anyone with a history of drug abuse can only be covered as far as monthly check ups.

5. All children under the age of 10 will be fully covered.

6. The only way a person with a history of drug abuse or a person of any similar history can gain full coverage back is by undergoing rehabilitation.

These reh-Ab facilities will be paid for by a special tax placed on doctors. This tax will be sufficient to pay for such facilities. After they are rehabilitated they will gain full coverage again.

7. People already having served one rehabilitation course will not be allowed to serve another.

8. If such people commit a crime there coverage will be taken away and strict penalties will be enforced.

Resolution: #10

Proposed by: Ingorland

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

Argument: This Resolution is too specific and restricts the human rights of potential victims of crimes and terrorism.

What about the human rights of the victim or potential victim, does this resolution mean more human rights for the criminal or terrorist and less for the majority of peace loving people of the world?

The resolution states, Serious Evidence must be present before privacy intrusion can occur to enable the gathering of further evidence. But there is no definition of what constitutes Serious Evidence.

Is it wrong for an officer of the law who overhears a face-to-face conversation about a shoplifting offence to use this as evidence without prior Judiciary approval?

Is not a certain amount of privacy intrusion necessary in the case of national security and terrorism, it maybe necessary to intrude on privacy with minimal evidence in such cases.

Repeal UN Resolution #10, "Stop privacy intrusion"

The Government and Peoples of Ingorland, advocate a new resolution, which protects the rights of privacy for the law abiding peoples of the world whilst also protecting there human rights to live without fear of the criminal or terrorist being free to act because of restrictive privacy laws.

A new resolution, without infringing on a nations sovereignty or culture but recognising the need to protect the human rights of victims of crimes and terrorism, will lead to improved human rights and a world with more freedom.

This world police force would have the power to arrest criminal for criminal offenses. However it would not have the power to arrest political immigration or hand prisinors back to a country where their human right may be abused.

If this proposal were introduced all member states would have to create and fund a UN prison and court where offenders would be sent and it would relieve pressure on overwhelmed police forces.

Description: NOW, THEREFORE, His Excellency, Charmian Gaultier by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, House of Commons of Surailia and the United Nations enacts as follows:

Definition: Marriage: (Marriage, for civil purposes, is the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others)

(a) a personal body corporate is a body corporate that is not actively engaged in any financial, commercial or industrial business and that is controlled by an individual, or by a group of individuals who are connected by marriage, common-law partnership or any legal parent-child relationship or are connected indirectly by a combination of those relationships, whether or not the individuals through whom they are connected are members of the group; and

(b) a common-law partnership is a relationship between two persons who are cohabiting with each other in a conjugal relationship and have done so for a period of at least one year.

(1) All nations have recognized that the right to equality without discrimination requires that couples of the same sex and couples of the opposite sex have equal access to marriage for civil purposes, equal access to marriage for civil purposes would respect the right of couples of the same sex to equality without discrimination, and civil union, as an institution other than marriage, would not offer them that equal access and would violate their human dignity.

(1.1)For greater certainty, a marriage is not void or voidable by reason only that the spouses are of the same sex.

(2) No person shall marry another person if they are related lineally, or as brother or sister or half-brother or half-sister, including by adoption.

(3) Marriage requires the free and enlightened consent of two persons to be the spouse of each other.

(4) It is recognized that officials of religious groups are free to refuse to perform marriages that are not in accordance with their religious beliefs

It might be cultural or religious and the UN has no right to ban that. Yet we affirm that you have the right to follow your own religious and cultural path.

Description: Nations who are banned from regions and falsely accused of inappropriate behavior have no representation or chance to defend against accusations. This enables absurd levels of corruption and abuse of power, and threatens the integrity of the Nation States as a whole.

1. There should be some level of due-process involved in UN Intelligence decisions. Members of UN intelligence should be able to gather information anonymously; however, they should not have the right to level penalties anonymously and without due process.

2. No penalties can be issued by UN Intelligence without a consensus of delegates.

3. A system of recourse for the accused to defend themselves must be established.

4. UN delegates who levy unlawful penalties and false accusations should be penalized accordingly. Sounds like a metagaming problem to me.

Description: We are viewed to be a pro-NATO bully as our reputation of power remains low. Our inspectors are commonly rejected to enter countries who may not permit us in. However, even with evidence that such a nation is violating our UN Code of Human Rights, we still have no power over them because of our lack of UN Security Forces. This message they have viewed upon our famed name is an insult.

The UN Defense Act of 2007 Proposal requires that all UN Members to donate 1% of their armed forces (airforce, navy, and ground forces, respectively) as well as 5% of their military budget to keep up with the cost. The UN Armed Forces will be deployed to several nations that helplessly need military assistance to avoid hostile strikes against another nation.

This proposal also is will be in effect when nations avoid UN Inspectors, as well as disobeying the UN Codes of Human Rights, and other UN Laws that all members must abide. Disobeying laws or rejecting UN inspections will result to UN military presence, liberating the ways of laws by the UN.

The UN Armed Forces will be governed and commanded by the UN Security Council members, as well as the 10 elected body members. Each will command a body of UN soldiers and negociate peace with their peacekeeping armies.Oh God, another frakking UN army proposal.

Proposed by: Surailia

Description: NOW, THEREFORE, His Excellency, Charmian Gaultier by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, House of Commons of Surailia and the United Nations enacts as follows:

Definition: Marriage: (Marriage, for civil purposes, is the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others)

(a) a personal body corporate is a body corporate that is not actively engaged in any financial, commercial or industrial business and that is controlled by an individual, or by a group of individuals who are connected by marriage, common-law partnership or any legal parent-child relationship or are connected indirectly by a combination of those relationships, whether or not the individuals through whom they are connected are members of the group; and

(b) a common-law partnership is a relationship between two persons who are cohabiting with each other in a conjugal relationship and have done so for a period of at least one year.

(1) All nations have recognized that the right to equality without discrimination requires that couples of the same sex and couples of the opposite sex have equal access to marriage for civil purposes, equal access to marriage for civil purposes would respect the right of couples of the same sex to equality without discrimination, and civil union, as an institution other than marriage, would not offer them that equal access and would violate their human dignity.

(1.1)For greater certainty, a marriage is not void or voidable by reason only that the spouses are of the same sex.

(2) No person shall marry another person if they are related lineally, or as brother or sister or half-brother or half-sister, including by adoption.

(3) Marriage requires the free and enlightened consent of two persons to be the spouse of each other.

(4) It is recognized that officials of religious groups are free to refuse to perform marriages that are not in accordance with their religious beliefs Resubmitting does not make this any more legal.

Description: Marrige is a sacred thing. A special bond between two people.

This is proposal to defend the long standing institution of marrige. Defined only as one man and one woman.

The marrige of two persons of the same sex, would be a destructive blow to the "family".

Two persons of the SAME SEX cannot have their own child.
If a homosexual couple were to adopt, the child they would raise would SUFFER.

The family has always consisted of a FATHER, MOTHER, and CHILDREN. If two of the SAME SEX adopt a child it will either live its life without a father, or without a mother.

DEFEND the family and support this bill that will, if passed ban all same sex marriges and thus save the institution of the family.Illegal, contradicts Marriage Protection Act, and miscategorized.

Proposed by: Holy land of jesus

Description: This has to stop; we've had enough," said Hilary Fisher, director of Amnesty's worldwide Stop Violence Against Women campaign. "In recent years, the assumption that justice is an unrealistic goal in conflict situations has been challenged. Prosecutions are the key."

Ad-hoc international tribunals have successfully prosecuted armed groups in Yugoslavia and Rwanda on the basis that rape is a war crime.

The International Criminal Court, which hears its first case (against the Democratic Republic of Congo) next year, will be crucial in spreading that message globally, says Fisher.

The court will recognize a broad spectrum of sexual-violence crimes — including rape, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy and enforced sterilization — as crimes against humanity or as war crimes. But the court will step in only when national governments are unable or unwilling to prosecute.

Amnesty is therefore asking individual nations to publicly denounce gender-based violence, to instruct their militaries and security forces on the prohibition, and then enforce it.

Governments are called on to end impunity against prosecution for soldiers, in combat or in peacekeeping, who commit crimes of sexual violence. And it recommends they be subject to civilian, not military, jurisdiction. Is there anything in this that's not a RL reference?

Description: A resolution to create UNATCO-United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coordination Office.

Given the great rise in international terrorism in our days and the menace it presents,it is felt that the U.N. as an organization based on the principle of peace and stability should encorage its members to fight terrorism and also take up a bit of fighting itself.

UNATCO will be an office of coordination,not an U.N. combat force,its headquarts shall be in the U.N. headquarters.
Its primary goal is to coordinate anti-terrorist actions amongst members.

UNATCO will:
1-On request of one or several members organize information networks in order to prevent terrorism.
2-Only have jurisdiction on Nations that make a request for so,however,once a nation autorizes its actions it will act,search and arrest based on international anti-terrorism laws.
3-Not enforce the law on any country, UNATCO is not a combat force or a police force but an advisatorial and coordination office, nevertheless,it will promote the special training of police and military officers of nations that request it.
4-If a nation fells the need,a special combat force may be assembled,however that force is not under that nation command and report before the U.N. itself,which may veto combat action on a nation.
5-Have the U.N. to provide the funding for the office so that even small and economicaly weak nations may call upon it for help.

Composition:
The UNATCO Database Network:
It is the main part of unatco, this network will contain all information regarding international terrorists and both crime or terrorist organization, any nation law-enforcement agency may be connected to it by request.
UNATCO training department:
will ensure the trining of specialists in anti-terrorist actions to be employed both in their homelands and by UNATCO itself.
UNATCO Special Department:
A special force that may on request be used to help law enforcement agencies on counter-terrorism actions,this however requires U.N. General Secretary´s Approval.

2) Decisions to form workers’ committees shall be taken by the workers in question, who shall approve the committees’ by-laws and shall elect their members by direct, secret ballot.

3) Coordinating committees may be created with a view to improving intervention in economic restructuring and to guaranteeing workers’ interests.

4) Committee members shall enjoy the legal protection accorded to trade union delegates.

5) Workers’ committees shall possess the right:
- To receive all the information needed to perform their tasks;
- To monitor the management of businesses;
- To participate in corporate restructuring processes, especially in relation to training actions or when working conditions are altered;
- To take part in drawing up labour legislation and economic and social plans that address their sector;
- To manage, or participate in the management of, businesses’ social activities;
- To promote the election of workers’ representatives to the management bodies of businesses that belong to the state or other public bodies, as laid down by law.
- To take control of company by approval of the two-thirds votes of the workers' and consenting only to workers to manage the company without no external intervention by the state or by the past employers. A compensation will be paid by the State to the employer. This almost sounds like they want to create unions.

Argument: why i hate it can give you 10 reason:

reason 1 earth is over populated and people soon will be homeless. so how? claim title to the Moon. but up to a point where nation can only take 2miles of the moon. so when we claim it we can build home and good news for researcher because on earth the news or the radio board cast around the world so the researcher are hopping mad because they cannot hear deep space and for telescope the earth and cloud so it block the researcher from trying to look at deep spacew claim the moon if not, the young at heart will lose their mood to go beyond technology and that why we have claim the moon

reason 2 earth is made of 2% of fresh water and moon have water that are fresh about 4% at least.which it means it about time to transport something back to the earth

reason 3 we can launch space ship and and rocket from the moon rather than launching on earth when there is something call gravity on earth we can even launch the whole part space station than building on low-earth orbit.

reason 4 war! when you go to war and it happen that the nation have some parts for the moon the nation cannot declare war on the moon only can open battlefield on earth
so that we can tell people how peaceful the moon is.

reason 5 we can build military base over there but like i said no war on moon!! and you can do military training
over there. now will that boost your military

8. Requests and Strongly affirms the need for the UN to give UN countries money that cannot provide sufficient military and police force spending.

Argument: This is the same idea as the resolution it repeals except it takes out, (Re-affirms and Re-states : Gay Rights, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Sat May 3 2003.), and defines a marrage as a bond of a man and a woman. This resolution was for equality between the sexes as the title of the resolution says, not sexual rights. Re-afferming and Re-stating gay rights would go against the resolution to ban the Gay Rights resolution which was resolution #144 and was implemented Sat. Feb. 4 2006.Well, yeah.

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Peterandia

Description: A resolution to create UNATCO-United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coordination Office.

Given the great rise in international terrorism in our days and the menace it presents,it is felt that the U.N. as an organization based on the principle of peace and stability should encorage its members to fight terrorism and also take up a bit of fighting itself.

UNATCO will be an office of coordination,not an U.N. combat force,its headquarts shall be in the U.N. headquarters.
Its primary goal is to coordinate anti-terrorist actions amongst members.

UNATCO will:
1-On request of one or several members organize information networks in order to prevent terrorism.
2-Only have jurisdiction on Nations that make a request for so,however,once a nation autorizes its actions it will act,search and arrest based on international anti-terrorism laws.
3-Not enforce the law on any country, UNATCO is not a combat force or a police force but an advisatorial and coordination office, nevertheless,it will promote the special training of police and military officers of nations that request it.
4-If a nation fells the need,a special combat force may be assembled,however that force is not under that nation command and report before the U.N. itself,which may veto combat action on a nation.
5-Have the U.N. to provide the funding for the office so that even small and economicaly weak nations may call upon it for help.

Composition:
The UNATCO Database Network:
It is the main part of unatco, this network will contain all information regarding international terrorists and both crime or terrorist organization, any nation law-enforcement agency may be connected to it by request.
UNATCO training department:
will ensure the trining of specialists in anti-terrorist actions to be employed both in their homelands and by UNATCO itself.
UNATCO Special Department:
A special force that may on request be used to help law enforcement agencies on counter-terrorism actions,this however requires U.N. General Secretary´s Approval.Illegal, creates a UN military.

This will include - Strengthening Of Police Forces, Upgrade of weapons, Giving Police More Power, Extending Prison Sentences and Introducing the Death Penalty to the most severe of offenses (e.g. murder, rape, shoplifting etc.)

Military Forces need the money to; Upgrade Weaponry, Receive better living standards, Recruit more soldiers, Improve training facilities, and be able to get into schools and brainwash the young into joining the forces when they come of age.

This is all vital to defending your country and citizens, and improving your country.Illegal, contradicts Fair Sentencing Act.

Repeal "Fairness and Equality Act"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #230
Proposed by: Burkesborough

Description: UN Resolution #230: Fairness and Equality Act (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This act attempts to intervene and prevent democracy, often in the case of a small minority. In true democracy, the people decide through proper governmental processes what kind of discretion they choose. For instance, under this, an banker could be in legal trouble for refusing to hire an applicant who has a history of theft and holding up banks, if he also happened to be of a particular skin color, sexual disorientation, religious belief or any other of a number of theoretical minorities.

In summation:

-Discretion is a gift
-Discretion should not be tampered with
-Personal right of discretion based upon personal moral or religious values should not be a crime
-Discrimination is defined as "the recognition of qualities and differences among certain things or persons and making choices based on those qualities"
-Discrimination is there for a good thing when not misused

Also, emo fashion encourages men to dress angrodynously, wearing tight pants and eyeshadow. What is our world coming to when the difference between a man and a woman diminshes? What happened to masculinity?

Thus, I propose that emo music be banned in all UN nations. For our sake, and the sake of emo fans' well-being.

End Use of Incendiaries

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Nuguay

Description: Incendiary weapons are weapons that are created for the purpose of starting fires. This inherently makes them weapons of terror. Although not as immediately dangerous as nuclear weapons and the like, Incendiary weapons can be devastating to the psyche of those affected.

Some of the terrible affects of Incendiary weapons have been documented:

-Uncontrollable fires that can spread to unintended areas causing considerable collateral damage.

-Psychological damage as people must witness their peers being burned alive.

-Certain Incendiaries, such as White Phosphorus, are well known to be toxic substances.

-Weapons created specifically for burning structures contributes to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

These conditions are reason enough to abolish the production and use of incendiary weapons by all UN sponsored nations. It is the duty of the UN to prevent conflict and at the very least make combat less damaging. This resolution will lessen the effects that conflicts take on the people sucked into them.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #62

Proposed by: Liternalia

Description: UN Resolution #62: Female Genital Mutilation (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Observing that both female genital mutilation and male genital mutilation are performed ritually due to the religious customs of some cultures,
It is discriminatory to condemn the practice of genital mutilation of females but not protect males also, despite differing consequences both are often committed against the will of the individual (child),
Recognising that this is a contentious issue and often male genital mutilation is accepted in most nations as opposed to female genital mutilation,

1. Condemns the practice of both female and male circumcision (Genital mutilation) of individuals under the age of 18;
3. Urges States to discourage genital mutilation after the age of 18;
2. Calls upon States to fund programmes educating citizens about the dangers of genital mutilation and the disregard for child rights it entails.

Argument: The United Nations,

NOTING the potential security risks arising from being unable to accurately assess those entering and leaving a nation.

DESPITE these security risks, it is imperative that individual nations be allowed the sovereignty to create and maintain their own passports, without intervention of the United Nations.

1. Still defines a "Passport" as a travel document by the nation of which the person is a citizen, identifying the bearer as a national of that country,

2. Mandates that all citizens carry a Passport issued by a relevant nation, and not organized by the UN, in which they hold citizenship or other citizen status, when traveling abroad, except where deemed unnecessary through the existence of bilateral and multilateral border control agreement,

3. PERMITS issuing nations to allow children under the age of majority, or a specific age that is lower than that of the age of majority, in the issuing country to travel on the passport of one or both of their parents, as necessary under national law

4. DISBANDS the United Nations Commission for Passport Design and Control (UNCPDC)

5. CALLS UPON all nations to recognize the passports of nationals of United Nations member states, not through a centralized passport, but through the trust of membership of the UN.Illegal, contains new legislation.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #230
Proposed by: Objective States

Description: UN Resolution #230: Fairness and Equality Act (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Private non-violent discrimination is a human right.

It is an unwise irrational choice and almost never in one's best interest, but it is not the responsibility or right of a government or united body of nations to police personal decisions made on private property by citizens.

This resolution oversteps the bounds of the United Nations and violates fundamental principles of individual rights and national sovereignty.

Government discrimination is absolutely intolerable, as discrimination by the government (an agent of the people) is both unjust and unfair (due to the government's monopoly on the legal use of force and compulsion). In the private sector, anyone is free to make decisions as they see fit, with whatever justification, and suffer the consequences of those decisions.

Laissez-faire. Hands off the private citizenry and their personal decisions!

Approvals: 1 (Extremation)

Proposed by: Ian Lives Here

Description: Nuclear power is bad for the environment. It is an inefficient form of energy.
This act proposes that in order to curb the use of this dangerous power source :
1. There should be a limit on what percentage of a nation's energy may be generated by nuclear power.
2. Severe fines must be implemented against any UN member that does not properly dispose of nuclear waste.
3. There should be a limit on the amount of uranium that can be mined in a year in all UN member nations

This act allows for any further penalties on nuclear power and is not limited to the above articles.

I say that the U.N should ban drug use! Why? Simple really. These are the points.

1. Some or most of our nations have high crime rates. We can control this! How? By banning drug use! By banning it the crime rates will go lower! Drug use increases crimes like robberies, drug smuggling, violence etc.

2. Everyone usually says one little try won't get you addicted. Well don't trust them! Just because they do it doesn't mean you have to do it! This is a warning to everyone - once you try drugs once, you're hooked on it. When you're addicted you'll do ANYTHING to get more. Once you do anything just for more drugs, the consequences are unspeakable. You will destroy yourself and your family.

3. When people want to make money by selling drugs they usually smuggle them through customs. That is just wrong! Smuggling is against the law! If you smuggle it will include a death penalty, life in prison or a very long time behind bars. Nobody wants to go to prison, right? If you don't want to go to prison then may I suggest you do not take drugs, grow drugs, smuggle drugs or have anything to do with drugs!!!

These are the reasons why the U.N should ban the use of drugs. It's only for everyone's safety.

I say that the U.N should ban drug use! Why? Simple really. These are the points.This thread is for people to post silly and illegal proposals already submitted to the UN Proposal List and to note why they are silly or illegal. Mocking optional and reserved for the most egregious.

Were you to submit your (illegal) proposal (and I'm not suggesting you do so, it's not nice to intentionally annoy the mods and it puts them off their dinner), someone would post it here and tell you it contradicts the UN Drug Act. Were you to post your own proposal here, the irony would be noted.

If you are looking for a discussion about the recreational drug category, you should post your thread as a stand-alone in the UN forum, unless you want a real-life discussion, then you're looking for General.

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: The Philippiniada

Description: I propose that the militirization of the UN is mandatory for International Security, and protecting the interest of the UN in case a similar group that is hell bent for controlling and invading nations spring up, the UN will have enough force to counter its threat,

Every UN Member, in case the passing of this proposal, will have to donate $3 trillion dollars each, this will be used for researching, improving, and creating arms, and technologies that will only be seen by members of a council that will be created solely for the "UNITED NATIONS ARMY".

Every nation in the UN will be needed to donate to the UN 3000 Citizens each, this men and women will be the backbone of the "UNITED NATIONS ARMY",

USES OF THE UN ARMY ARE AS THE FF. BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

1. peacekeeping efforts
2. threat to global security
3. threat to the UN
4. threat to the interest of the UNIllegal, creates a UN army.

Fellow ambassadors of the NSUN. We, The Armed Republic of Cinistra, have a most appalling question to ask you all. Are the NSUN a scam:eek:? Are all our efforts to make the world a better place to live really of any worth? Are all those glorious and dreadful resolutions annihilated? Why do we ask these questions you may ask.
The Most Glorious Nation of The Armed Republic of Cinistra have been a member of the NSUN for some weeks now, and we have strived to make the NS a better place to live, repelling resolutions more bureaucratic than a libertarian's worst nightmare! And for what?! For no reason at all, my friends (and foes, also). As we see it the NSUN lacks any legislative tool to implement its dreaded, boring ressolutions:upyours:. When Cinistra applied for membership in the NSUN we were readily accepted. We have now read thoroughly the information our friendly NSUN bureaucrats (i.e. the moderators) have been so nice to share with the users of the NSUN forums. They promptly state that the NSUN have both the legislative means as well as the means of power to make the result of the NSUN resolutions mandatory for its member states. Well, as far we see it, we have only their words for it. Of course as a country ruled by a dictator of the most despotic kind, we do of course not object to this autocratic way to make the NSUN member states to follow suit. Rather we cherish it:D. But even in Cinistra we do have an constitution (although its not of the liking of the snivelling so called democratic states of the world:sniper:) which grants people their rights (these chapters tends to be rather short:D) and the rights of the government (quite voluminous in fact:)). But here in the NSUN? Did we see a constitution? Did we see a chapter? Cinistra has indeed seen neither. Have you? Neither have we been compelled to sign a treaty of any kind. Have you? Nay, our friends and foes: as a consequence none of the resolutions made by industrious member states of the NSUN have any legislative foundations what so ever. They are all rendered struck null an void. The NSUN is nothing but a paper tiger. Thank you, our fellow ambassadors.

its just a game dude, with some limitations... more of a roleplaying suspension of disbelief setting not a pure legislative exercise. You seem to be wanting a genuine simulation. This aint the case. Sure, this is not the UN we all know from the real world, in some cases its better, in others, not so much.... but hey enjoy the ride. Maybe you could post the constitution of your nation in one of the forum threads.... maybe the NationStates thread, not here in the UN thread. Some would enjoy reading your constitution and may inspire them to write one up as well.... with enough people doing it, one may be inspired to write some kind of formal document of the game's UN as well...

IMNSHO, the UN is much more complex than other political sims, in that you deal with real people, who may very well be...ahem...not like your goals very much, if at all. It could be more complex, but eh, you get what you paid for.

But it's time to submit an silly proposal, but one that I won't submit, obivously for good reasons:

UN ARMY
International Security
Strong

APPLAUDING the UN in its previous resolutions concering international security,

STATING however that non-UN Nations may seek to disrupt international security,

DESIRING that there be a UN army to protect the all memberstates,

The Nationstates United Nations HEREBY,

1) SUGGEST that UN memberstates form military alliances to protect each other instead of actually relying on the UN itself,

2) PROHIBITS the UN from ever making a resolution about the UN Army ever again.

The hope: Fluffies see the first part of the proposal and vote FOR without seeing the blocker of #2 which would in fact end discussion about the UN Army. Despite the resolution being about UN armies and about how UN armies are good, it doesn't actually establish a UN Army, so everything is fine. Let ban UN armies by sneaking it through a rider.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: BigBunsofSteel

Description: The purpose of this act would be to make nudity compulsory worldwide. It is often true that the wearing of clothes inhibits a lot of things, much more than the eye can see.

RECOGNIZES the effect of public nudity to improve sexual intercourse between a couple. The ability to be naked all the time and anywhere creates a certain intimate atmosphere between partners.

RECOGNIZES the power of nudity in diplomacy, it breaks down communication barriers that normally would not be there. Consider someone that is extremely well endowed with a nice set of breasts or a man that is endowed with a big package. Both of these cause immediate diplomatic talking points that create for a truely divine atmosphere.

RECOGNIZES the ability to have a much better workplace enviroment when co-workers are not inhibited by restrictive dress codes, but are instead encouraged to do as the monkeys do. Ladies, that means FREESTYLIN!!

RECOGNIZES the inherent duty of every woman to indulge in nudity in order to beautify the world of all the ugliness caused by problems of war, famine, pestilence and disease. It is also necessary to encourage proper dialogue about women's issues such as Sexual Reproduction, etc.

REALIZES that the only way to truely have better sex is to live a nude lifestyle. And great sex is a good equation for positively happy couples worldwide. And happiness only serves to bring our world together in the common tie that binds.

REALIZES that if nudity were compulsory worldwide, then we would all have a common thread, something that binds us together. It would give us a common bond.

REALIZES that some people will abuse this act and engage in blantant sexual intercourse in public which is not condoned by this act.

REMINDS people that sexual intercourse should be confined to a private setting other than a public one because the right to view a sexual act is up to every individual

RECOGNIZES that the only way we are truely going to be able to teach our children how to understand their identity physically and anatomically is to have public nudity allowed. It is necessary in order for our children to be able to fully come to grips with their equipment.

REALIZES that this Act is highly unusual, but hopes that it will be taken seriously because people will

REALIZE that wearing clothes is a burden and has always been a burden. RECOGNIZING that our ancestors use to run around naked as can be, and they were perfectly fine that way.

UNDERSTANDING that a society without clothes minimizes workplace discrimination based on sex or on looks because without clothes, it's commando and you are what you are! When clothes are in the equation, people are unfairly expectted to dress in extravagant or expensive clothing from top end designers.

UNDERSTANDING that to be nude all the time is a considerable saving on buying clothes which only serve to repress an individuals true identity and sexuality.

REALIZING that if this isn't passed, then we are only suppressing our own sexuality and denying our children from exploring their own sexuality in a format where clothes will not serve to inhibit!Woe on those people living in frigid climates should this pass.

Description: I believe the use of solar power must be enforced.
It benefits all nations of the world.
1. It decreases pollution
2. It decreases bill payments, imagine if everyone ran on solar power. Everything would be much much better. bills would be cheaper, and you would save so much on electricity!
solar panels require little maintenance, last 25 years or longer and are completely safe.
Solar panels can stay out in practically any weather.They may be able to stay out in any weather, but how much use could they be when it's not sunny?

Description: This United Nations has to realize that there is a holocaust of unborn children in the world and we cannot stand for it as a civilized world. I propose to the UN that we have a complete and total ban on all abortions through out the whole world. I also propose that we create a stronger adoption agency where parents who truly love children can take up children who were put up for adoption instead of being senselessly slaughtered in a cruel fashion at the hands of abortionists. Along side of this adoption agency, we can create a program to teach that the best birth control is abstinence and the proper use of safe sex if people choose so.Illegal, contradicts Abortion Legality Convention.

Description: HEREBY DEFINES Corporal Punishment as "the infliction of pain to punish or change the behaviour of an individual"

RECOGNIZES that some cultures may actively support corporal punishment and promote it's use.

REALIZES that it is generally felt by many individuals that corporal punishment has detrimental long-term effects on the punished offender.

WISHES to abolish the use of corporal punishment and educate disciplinarians of the dangers of corporal punishment and provide education in alternative methods of discipline and chastisement.

THE UNITED NATIONS:

1. Enforces the complete abolition of corporal punishment on all individuals of every age, in the home, school, as a judicial punishment and in a care setting.

2. Endorses the establishment of an ad hoc committee to be named "UN Committee on Corporal Punishment" which will analyse all cases of corporal punishment and continue to aid governments in prosecuting those who use corporal punishment. The above said Committee will assist in the aim to educate in alternative forms of discipline.

3. Establishes and affirms the right to protection from corporal punishment as a fundamental human right.Illegal, contradicts Fair Sentencing Act.

Description: Bringing to the UN for international approval of my weapon:

The new air force invention by my nation:

1. It can only go into invading regions because of its effects.

2. Has been dubbed the Firequake Bomb, because when it hits, it sends shock-waves into the air, that ignite the oxygen surrounding the bomb for a 8-kilometer radius, thus setting everything on fire. It literally vaporizes buildings within 3 kilometers of the epicenter, because the quake is so hot.

3. The heat from the explosion at the epicenter is what ignites the surrounding oxygen, thus setting everything on fire, and it ignites the oxygen in the shock-wave from the explosion, making it look like an expanding ring of fire.

4. Once the fire ring has subsided, it leaves a 16-km or 10 mile diameter of utterly destroyed material, and burning wreckage.

5. As a result, it is great for igniting over forests that surround heavily populated areas, or igniting the cities themselves.Since when do we approve weapons?

These increasingly rare subspecies have been dwindling due to the aggressive expansion of uranium miners, especially in south Antartica and the outlying regions. After witnessing these depravities firsthand in Fraux, We submit two proposals under the name of Animal Equality Act (hereby referred to as AEA):

(1) Animals should be allowed the same basic freedoms and respects as humans would if they were to be facing the same consequences: for example, shooting a Walrus would be akin to brotherly murder. To prevent exacerbation and exploitation of this act, as well as to retain the hunting industries, domestic and wild animals will be ranked on a tiering hierarchy: stronger, more valuable animals such as wildebeasts and walruses are placed higher on the tier (and will thus have harsher consequences), where as fairly common or worthless animals such as chipmunks will have fairly unchanged rights.

(2) Uranium Mining will be outlawed whenever it could possibly further endanger already threatened species.Category: Environmental

Description: With the years I've grown up in, many people seem to be less, I don't know, "controlled". Kids are learning to swear at the ages of five. Parents are not controlling their child's leash on the world. Children are receiving cell phones at 4th and 5th grade! These phones aren't simple phones either, they can be Razrs and such. Children are also growing less respectful for adults and their peers. Bullying has become a problem. A teen recently committed suicide over a conversation on Myspace. Recent killings in Omaha Nebraska have lead people to wonder the respect for people these days. No one uses “Sir” and “Ma’am” Who's to blame? Us. The Adults.

1. Disciplinary Actions for those who display immoral behavior in public (cursing, assaulting, harassment and the like)

The UN should, for this reason, provide defense for any nation that is a member of the UN. To pay for this the UN can require each nation to pay an annual or monthly due to the UN to support this military force this fee can be based on the size of the military of that particular nation or in any other way that the UN members decide upon. The UN has always been a rather peaceful organization of nations but due to the threats of hostile nations the UN MUST protect its members and the citizens who so cherish their rights must be made able to defend these rights least they lose their freedom and equality.Illegal, no UN army rule.
