Apologies if someone else has already found this.

Value of Human Life Act No1
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Gallilee
I can just tell I'm going to love anything with that title.

Description: This Act is about the value of human life, from its start on.

Preamble: The Human life is the most valuable right of all,
therefore all other human rights come second, if life itsself
is threatened.
Hmm. Not sure I agree with that, but carry on.

1. Abortion
1.1 As biologists prove life starts with conception and
heartbeat starts three weeks after conception.
Therefore we hereby outlaw abortion for the sake of human life,
as life itsself is more valuable as the personal freedom of mother or father.
Therefore #61 "Abortion Rights" shall be repealed and
rendered null and void.
Illegal. You can't propose and repeal at the same time.

Following exceptions shall be granted to be determined by
each and every member state by themselves:

A If the life of the mother is in serious danger.

B If the child is most likely to have worst mental handicaps.

C If the mother is a victim of a rape AND the child is most likely to be the result.

D If the child is dead anyway.
Well, can't argue there. Pity about the illegality in your first article.

1.2 To loosen the social impact of this act resulting maybe in
unwanted children and too less adults willing to adopt them,
the United Nations strongly encourage following actions:

A spreading of condoms to stop unwanted marriages.
Huh? How do condoms stop marriages?

B an encouragemnet to live a monogam lifestyle.
Please]/i] learn to use a spell check. I don't think anyone wants to live in a 'monogam' lifestyle.

C a voluntarily sterilization of all prostitutes
Hmm.

D a good education handling sex and relationships
Isn't this already covered by the Sex Workers' Act?

2. Cloning
2.1 We proclaim the use of embryo cells to perform cloning
for any reason to be outlawed.
Quite right, too. Of course, useless when you consider what the possible use of a clone from an embryo will do. Much better to use a full grown cell, not a stem cell. Or did you mean cloning [i]of embryos?

2.2 To soften up the resulting weakening research and economic results,
the United Nations encourage its members to focus on alternative
possibilities to gain material for scientific purpose,
such as:

A the use of navel cords at birth, as they contain valuable cells
useful for scientific research.
'Valuable cells'? What is this? All my cells are valuable to me, at least.

B the use of "adult main cells" which can be donored by any adult (and honored by the government).
Did you mean stem cells? Or what? Never heard of 'main cells'.

C any cells that have been gained in the past, that are not able
to form a human beeing anymore
I really have no idea what this means.

This is the first part of The "Value of Human Life Act".
It shall be independent of the following ones.
Good Lord, there's more to come.

I've seen not a resolution specifically related to elves. If we take any lesson from history we know that unless you specifically do mention a certain group of people when spelling out rights they hhave generally been ignorned, remember All men are created equal, yet the gover ment contradicted itself by saying only white men who owned porperty could vote? how about the Jim Crow Laws anybody after the Consitution said that black men have the right to vote. Unless you spell out every right, someone will find a loop hole.

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

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Mikaeli

Description: As we all know, the DMV is among the most dysfunctional government-funded agencies in the country. Whereas there are still drivers out in the road which show no sign of judgment and skill to drive. And with the highest complaint record and inefficiency, the time has come for us to unite and find a solution. This bill encated today will abolish the nationaliziation of this agency and allow a more capitalistic way of management to flow in the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Clause i:
Government will set the highest standards chosen by delegates on how these agencies will run.

Clause ii:
A complete reform of testing procedure will occur chosen by delegates with higher standards.

Clause iii:
This agency will be funded by the government, revenues, and higher fines for breaking the rules of the road.

Clause iv:
This proposal will pass upon approval and will be effective in 3 months upon passage.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Gassmania

Description: This would be legislation banning militaries in all nations which are members of the UN, and would impose sanctions on all nations having a military.

Any force which is designed to attack another country, or defend a country from another nation's attack would be illegal.Why not just call this one what it is, Operation Suicide?

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Teslo

Description: All nuclear weapons should be banned for the safety of the world. The fear of being attacked by nuclear weapons would be eliminated and it would save moneyNot again.:rolleyes:

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses

Proposed by: Teslo

Description: Half of all energy used in industry should come from renewable sources of energy e.g. wind power, solar power, hydroelectric power.

These sources of energy do not cost anything and will therefore save a fair deal of money in the long term.Since when does building things like windmills, solar panels, or dams not cost anything?

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

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing
Proposed by: Kibombwe

Description: We, the people of Kibombwe, propose that every nation should start developing hydrogen powered cars. We have polluted the air for too long -- it needs to stop. By passing this resolution we will be able to accompish these three things.

1. Less acid rain. Acid rain a problem that we feel should be stopped. It is especially a problem in the Northeast corner of the U.S.A. The Northeast is a place rich in historical buildings which acid rain damages. We passed a "PROTECT HISTORICAL SITES." This would only furthermore protect historical sites.

2. We wouldn't have to use as much oil. Oil is a nonrenewable resource that we only have so much of. By passing this resolution we would only prolong the time that we have oil on earth.

3. We would have cleaner air. Does anyone remember the days when "fresh air" was actually fresh? When it was a pure thing, without chemicals and other junk mixing in the air. With cleaner air, everyone would live longer, happier lives.

I hope that anyone and everyone who reads this agrees with us. PLEASE MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!!

The triple exclamation marks really enhance this proposal. Not to mention a lack of specific knowledge on H2 propulsion, mention of specific RL places, and being very unspecific on what this proposal actually does. "every nation should start developing hydrogen powered cars." How ambiguous is that?

Oh, except this resolution did pass, two years ago in fact.

Here is one:

Repeal "Definition of Marriage"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #81
Proposed by: The Lost Heroes

Description: UN Resolution #81: Definition of Marriage (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Against all that is moral, right, and worldy I ask my fellow nations to repeal this intolerable resolution A.S.A.P.

The UN will now:

DEFINE marriage as a contract bewteen two people reguardless of race, religion and color.

BAN and outlaw all forms of homosexual interactions.

Thank you.

Not only is it illegal (as it is a Repeal attempting to also replace the Resolution in the same document), those two points are very contradictory of each other aren't they? At least literally...

Next:

I know you sponsored this, Flibbleites, but this is illegal (Repeal & Replace in the same document)

Repeal "Abortion Rights"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #61
Proposed by: Kamikastan

Description: UN Resolution #61: Abortion Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: We, people of the United Nations, morally competent and with great intellect,

RECOGNIZE the sanctity of human life, even before birth.

RECOGNIZE that basic human rights extend to all persons, born or unborn.

RECOGNIZE that abortion ends life, without consent of affected persons, born or unborn.

RECOGNIZE that abortion is a violation of basic human rights to the unborn.

RECOGNIZE that abortion does undue damage and extreme and grisly destruction of unborn persons in the womb.

RECOGNIZE that abortion causes harm to all affected persons and may result in loss of life.

REGRET that United Nations Resolution #61: Abortion Rights has passed to legalize the undue murder of thousands of innocent unborn human lives.

Therefore, we, the people of the United Nations, morally competent and with great intellect,

REPEAL United Nations Resolution #61: Abortion Rights.

DENOUNCE its praise for the merciless killing of unborn persons.

AFFIRM that basic human rights extend to all persons, born and unborn.

AFFIRM that abortion is a violation of basic human rights of the unborn.

DECLARE a ban to all abortion procedures except in cases of rape and if furthering pregnancy will cause death of the mother.

DECLARE all abortion procedures done within any circumstances except those mentioned above to be a violation of basic human rights.

DECLARE all persons that perform abortion procedures outside of the circumstances mentioned above be prosecuted by the fullest extent of national or international law, whichever is more severe.

We, as morally and intellectually endowed people of the United Nations, hereby sign and affirm the above to national and international law.

This next one is the second theocracy ban I saw in the Proposal Queue, and the one worthy of posting:

Ban religion from government
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Tikkizlandia

Description: The Church is a part of governments in most countries. Why? Because it is so big. But does it have something to do with politics? Absolutely no. The Church isn't the most modern party around and by banning Church from your government you can actually increase positive growing in society. The Church just trows needles in the front of a moving car.

Please remember that this won't ban religion, just take it away from governments.

Illegal- it bans a government type (theocracies). Also, it's rather ambiguous and the English is pretty bad ("you can actually increase positive growing in society").

Others:

That's a mighty big runon sentence...not to mention punctuation leaves something to be desired:

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

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Uranium Mining
Proposed by: Normanburger

Description: Uranium mining should be stopped as it ruins the enviroment as large swaythes of forest are cut down to make room for it, Uranium is also used to create nuclear weapons, so if we abolish uranium mining we will save the enviroment and stem the production of nuclear weapons

common sense really

Erm...

Repeal "World Heritage List"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #37
Proposed by: Kerrnadia

Description: UN Resolution #37: World Heritage List (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Woodchipping) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This is a good idea, it protects the environment that we all share. The problem is that regulations need to be made for this. Countries could submit sites as important environmental sites when a country could be making billions mining the region. I'm submitting that a voting council be made out of one delegate from a nation that chooses to send one. Their purpose will be to decide if an area should be protected or not. They will look at not only envoronmental signifigance but also economic signifigance of a debated area. I also propose that a nice addition would be that all nations have to have a set area of protected lands, which will be delegated by the council.

Sounds like the Resolution he's trying to Repeal, no?

Repeal "DVD region removal"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #5
Proposed by: John Paul III

Description: UN Resolution #5: DVD region removal (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution does not say why besides saying that we only need one region's DVDs. The UN has set a free enterprise system and this is not obbeying that. Filmmakers in one country cannot sell their movie in another region.

This is preposterous, and unjustified.

It is too narrow and does not supports itself at all!

People should have a choice to watch whatever they what from whatever region or nation.

If needed, a tariff may be added, but it has to forced by the nation itself.

Thank you from the Peaple's Republic of John Paul III,
And the region of South Confederacy!

One last one!

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

Category: Environmental

Category: Political Stability

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Reformed YugoslaviaI can hardly wait to see what thjs is.

Description: This act is designed to decrease the amount of required UN Delegate votes on proposals from 148 persons to 100.*blows whistle* Illegal attempt to alter game mechanics

The Benefits of this will include the following.

i. Proposals that have been in circulation a long time and only need a couple of more votes can be immedietly sent to the UN Security Council so the rest of the major nations can vote on it.What Security Council? And if this is attempting to create one then we have a second violation of the rules.

ii. Proposals will take half the time to get through the UN Delegate Chambers.Huh?:confused:

iii. UN Delegates can now have more of a voice.Again I say, Huh?:confused:

Once this act is passed, Regions, UN Delegates and UN members can and will get through proposals much faster, efficiently and smaller regional groups, actually all regional groups will have a much bigger opportunity to pass their proposals/bills.However this won't happen because it will probably be deleted before the day is over.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #59

Proposed by: Robe-From

Description: UN Resolution #59: The 40 Hour Workweek (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Recognizing the need for protection of workers from corporations, and companies that abuse their ability to force overtime on employees.

This resolution restricts the rights of citizens to work more than 80 hours.

Businesses/industries are suffering because of workers not volunteering overtime. When business suffers, so does the worker, due to unemployment.

A resolution is already in place for workers to form unions to protect rights.

This resolution is redundant, and limits freedoms of citizens. Well, at least they took the time to actually read the resolution.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Bozwana

Description: Since the beginning of time there has always been war and rebellion. With this new proposal, I believe this will stop all wars and rebellion around the world. This proposal states that every UN country should contribute 50% of all military weapons and Weapons of mass destruction. The remaining 50% would be disposed of. If every country contributed 50% the UN would have the most powerful army in the world to put down rebellion and keep peace in the world.Not only is this an illegal attempt to form a UN army but it's classified as "Global Disarmament." (where's a laughing smilie when you need one?)

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Luxabuxastan

Description: I advice anyone reading this to research the Aral Sea, either on the Internet or ask your Geography teacher!

This resolution would mean that all nations would have to give up at least 1% of their budget to clean up the Aral Sea. This payment would only last for as long as it takes to clean up the area.

The problem began when the Soviet Union decided to grow cotton in the desert. This involved huge water diversion for irrigation resulting in less water or very little reaching the Aral Sea.

The current problems of the Aral Sea are:

1. Reduction in size of sea leaving many former ports and villages milles from the Aral Sea

2. Cancer increase causing many deaths, children born with deformities etc. This is due to fertalisers from the cotton, increased salt levels in sea due to reduction of water, testing of smallpox, antrax, nuclear weapons and other dangerous substances on an island in the middle of the sea. This has now stopped.

What can be done:

1. Clean up island by demolishing test buildings and dispposing of rubbish safely.

2. Stop production of cotton. Reduction of 25% a year (4 years to remove all cotton) of production of cotton and destruction of dams and irrigation routes after 5 years.

3. Creation of area (worth 30% of current cotton plantations) with linned irrigation channels to prevent loss of water and controlled water usage. This area will use a special variatity of cotton that uses less water.

Many people beleive it is too late but actually its not.

There will be a 50% loss in cotton output but this is not so bad in comparison to people with cancer the size of footballs and that have to drink salt water containing antrax and other chemicals.

The other danger is that rebels in the area are taken chemicals from the island (that is not safe to go on without gas masks and chemical suits) and selling them to other countries.

Full chemical protection kits will be supplied to those who work in the area.

Please research this further on the internet and please help these people! The cost to industry will be 0 because as the Aral Sea reformes, ports will return and boom. Please help, your vote counts!
Illegal, RL reference.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Atlantinas

Description: We in Atlantinas realize that some nations function well with high income tax rates (us being one of them). On the other end of the scale, some governments let the people keep all their money so as to choose what to do with it themselves.
However, we propose that the extremities of this issue should be reduced, so that income tax rates range from 1-99% instead of 0-100%.
We feel this change should keep the people of a nation happy as they will always be granted to keep some of their salary, and the government always gets to keep a part of it as well. This should let all services, private or government, function properly and within the range of people's buying ability.

Description: The Nomadic Peoples of Ogalalla realize that there is no resolution that makes murder illegal. Thus, we put forth that murder* is against the law of all UN member nations. There are exceptions to this resolution, stated below.

*the purposeful ending of the life of the victim

Exceptions: There are several exceptions to this law. They are abortion, euthanasia, killing as part of a war by a soldier, killing in defense of a person (when the person is in obvious, imminent danger), and state-sanctioned duels.

The punishment for commiting murder may be decided upon by the member nation.

I believe this falls under the catagory of Game Mechanics.

Description: The people of our great world have long been held back by dusty woodchipping factories for two reasons: 1; Millions of protectd ancient rainforest trees are unneccesarily and brutally chopped down and 2; squillions of harmful dust particles are produced- all for gerbil bedding!

I propose that we ban this hideous practice before it is too late for us all.

Recognition of Equality
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Jimbob the Jingoistic

Description: For far too long now has there been an implicit assumption within society that "all people are equal, but some are more equal than others." This, for the sake of worldwide human and civil rights, has to change.

Thus, I propose an explicit recognition of equality for all. Every living person on the planet is a human, and deserves treatment as such. The recognition of equality would presumably take the form of a statement and should be displayed all over the world, to remind people of their intrinsic equality and value as part of the human race.

The recognition of equality would have immediate benefits for human rights. Not only would people feel more equal, but also would be treated more equally. For the recognition would also be a part of every company's policy, hence every citizen would be given fair treatment in applying for jobs and the like.

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Wooldriville

Description: THis proposal is to ask about the welfare of regions that are against each other. I am asking that we should be able to make agreements with other regions and successfully do the things that are needed in this game. Since there is no way that someone could literaly join, I'm asking if that this will be something that we could do.

Game Mechanics- and, besides, it's pretty dreamy anyway...

Repeal "Scientific Freedom"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #2
Proposed by: Alexandria VIIIIIIII

Description: UN Resolution #2: Scientific Freedom (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: In my opinion I strongy agree in Scientific freedom.

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

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #6
Proposed by: Wooldriville

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

Argument: My repeal is that slavery should have been ended. It just isn't right to take people's religious, personal, and civil freedoms. According to the Emancipation Proclamation Slavery is over, so anyone who is against this is disobeying the LAW.

:headbang: More Repeals supporting the Resolutions they are trying to repeal...

World Disco Night
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Crossbustopia

Description: I propose that Thursday Nights be made World Disco Night. Not only will it cheer the population up large amounts, but it will also help to tackle the problem of obesity, one that I'm sure is threatening all of your great countries.

Another benefit of this illustrious scheme is that it will be a great step towards unity between all nations, and I am sure that is something which you would all like to achieve. So please, please, vote for World Disco Night, you know it makes sense.

Isn't that a little too much strength? Besides, I'm not sure how this affects human rights...

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

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Klampor

Description: Each nation should have at least 2 sub sea cities. This would solve some problems like the towering prices of houses and provide each nation of 2 major harbors.

It could happen that the ocean level rises but we can fix that by putting big water purifying stations in the cities providing each nation of its drink water.And because these facilities will be controlled by the government water prices would drop and solve the problems for poor nations who can now barely afford drinkable water

The cities would also have hydrolic power stations using the naturel pressure and turning it in clean renewable energy

Nothing but possitive effects unless you count the high price but good ideas need big investments ;)

As soon as I saw the category I fell over laughing. How do building underwater sea cities have anything to do with morals? Sigh...

Repeal "Stop privacy intrusion"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Tarisi

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

Argument: The so called "Intrusion" of peoples Internet, and Phone communication should be dubbed legittamitly RESTRICTED for these simple facts.

I. Sometimes its necsesary for Goverments to monitor SUSPECTED terrorist members, so attacks on a nation can be stopped at the planning stage.

II. Sometimes it is necessary to 'tap' into a suspected citizens phone line, to arrest a single terrorist or Perpetrator, or agroup of offenders.

III. Restricted Intrusion of someones communication, would include rules, such as.

RESTRICTED time of tapping, up to 2 months a year of 1 single persons communication.

The Resolution already makes that provision- obviously, the Repealer did not read the Resolution.

Media Monopolies Act
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: The Frozen Wasteland

Description: In the interests of freedom of speech and opinion, it shall hereby be rendered illegal for any corporation, no matter its area of production, more than one outlet of any of the various types of media. This shall be to ensure the freedom of choice of the public, hindered by the views of a few monopolistic ventures.

An instance: It shall be illegal for the “X” Corporation to own more than one television channel, more than one radio network or more than one magazine, newspaper or other form of mass produced and mass marketed media. This is done in the inevitability that “X” Corporation’s political views and ideals will be predominant in all of those areas, thus forcing said views and ideals upon the viewing public.

It will also be illegal for any companies answerable to “X” Corporation, such as partners, suppliers, producers or distributors to own any outlet if “X” owns one of the same. So, if “X” owns a television station, its distributor, “Y,” would not be allowed to own one.

However, it shall not be illegal for “X” Corporation to own one of each type of media, in order to promote its views and ideals, as such is to be expected from any large and influential body. Also, any partners, suppliers, producers or distributors will be allowed to maintain an outlet not already owned by the parent; however, any such outlet will be considered owned by the parent, disallowing other partners, suppliers, producers or distributors the ability to own said outlet.

In the event that any corporation should choose not to abide by this law, the following forms of action shall be put into effect:

On first offense, large fines (to be determined upon first infraction) per duplicate outlet shall be enacted as well as a forced closure of any multiple outlets; the corporation shall be allowed to choose which remain and which do not.

If the problem persists, the corporation’s ability to operate all forms of media, duplicate or otherwise, shall be temporarily revoked, and shall not be reinstated until two months after all duplicate outlets are shut down. The choice as to which stay and which go are again left to the corporation. Heavier fines will also be enacted.

A third offense shall be punishable by permanent revoke of all media privileges, even in non-offending areas (if there are 2 television stations but only one radio station, even the radio station shall be shut down). There will be no choice on the part of the corporation. No later reinstatement of privilege shall be granted under any circumstances until at least 15 years after the offense; actual time after the limit shall be left up to the courts. Heavier fines shall also be enacted.

Fabulous idea! Wrong category...

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

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Myxx

Description:
==PURPOSE==

A resolution which would protect from extinction those species deemed "endangered" by taking the necessary steps to stop the decrease in the species' population.

==ARGUMENT==

RECOGNIZING that there are a number of unintelligent plant and animal species' (in other words, those plant and animal species which do not have basic rights) which are hunted, harmed, and/or killed for the purpose(s) of food, sport, industry, or some other purpose. ALSO RECOGNIZING that without restricting said hunting, harming, and killing of said species', that certain species' for which there is high demand may decrease in population from one year to the next. CONVINCED that without restrictions, the populations of said endangered species' may continue to drop until the species has become extinct, eliminating the resource from the world, never to exist again.

In order for an unintelligent plant or animal species to be deemed "endangered", it should meet the following criteria:
• It is evident that there has been a continuous, significant drop in the species' population from year to year which, if left alone, would result in the extinction of the species.
• There is a demand by an intelligent people to preserve said species.
• Said species is endangered in its native, natural habitat.
• Said species is NOT a threat to the existence of one or more other species', especially those intelligent species' with basic rights.

In time, the United Nations could come to learn which unintelligent plant and animal species' may be deemed "endangered", and by restrict the hunting, harming, and killing of said endangered species, thereby helping to regenerate said species' and protect species' from further and/or unnecessary depopulation. By doing so, said species' could be bred not only for purposes of regeneration, but also to fulfill the demand of species for the purpose(s) of food, sport, industry, etc.

==RESOLUTION==

In passing this resolution, the UN will:
• Minimalize the hunting, injury, and/or killing any member of any species deemed "endangered".
• Preserve the remaining population of the species.
• Encourage the remaining population to reproduce, so that the species' population will begin to rise again.

I could be wrong, but this appears to be in the wrong category.

Ban Spam and Spyware Act
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Felysial

Description:
NOTING the economic toll that spam, spy/adware and computer viruses has on industry world wide,

RECALLING the sentiments of such documents as "Stop Privacy Intrusion", "Universal Freedom of Choice", and "Right to Self-Protection",

UPSET by the lack of previous legislation (at the time of this document's composition) to ban harmful practices such as spam, spyware and computer viruses,

RESOLVES upon protecting all persons and groups in member nations from spam, spyware and computer viruses,

REQUIRES member governments to ban spam, spyware and computer viruses and encourages nation governments to enact fair and equitable punishment against violators.

COMMITS to abolishing the practice of unwanted mass mailings, hostile or intrusive computer programs,

ENCOURAGES all nations to work towards eliminating spam, spyware and computer viruses,

URGES regional awareness of basic applications, use and protections against spam, spyware and computer viruses.

CLARIFIES the United Nation's position by reiterating the following:

§ The UN condemns unsolicited e-mail of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail. Also known as "spam".

§ The UN condemns any software that covertly gathers information about a user while he/she navigates the Internet and transmits the information to an individual or company that uses it for marketing or other purposes. Also known as "spyware".

§ The UN proclaims that a computer program that is designed to replicate itself by copying itself into the other programs stored in a computer that has a benign or otherwise has a negative effect, such as causing a program to operate incorrectly or corrupting a computer's memory, or a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes (Also known as a "virus") is hereby unlawful and is subject to fair and equitable punishment as regulated by individual nations.

Recognition of Equality
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Jimbob the Jingoistic

Description: For far too long now has there been an implicit assumption within society that "all people are equal, but some are more equal than others." This, for the sake of worldwide human and civil rights, has to change.

Thus, I propose an explicit recognition of equality for all. Every living person on the planet is a human, and deserves treatment as such. The recognition of equality would presumably take the form of a statement and should be displayed all over the world, to remind people of their intrinsic equality and value as part of the human race.

The recognition of equality would have immediate benefits for human rights. Not only would people feel more equal, but also would be treated more equally. For the recognition would also be a part of every company's policy, hence every citizen would be given fair treatment in applying for jobs and the like.

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

Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: LucaStefanLand

Description: If the atomic weapons are banned, we have a situation on our hands:

"How will we resolve conflicts?"

This will sound weird, but i have a ideea:

We could bann war! Yes ,bann war! i am thinking that if you have a problem with another nation you would have to resort to the so called : "arbitrer of change" this will be a voted represantitive of all the nations.Actualy there would be 3 of them. They will resolve conflictsbetween nations. I propose a few simple laws to go with this:

1. Open, fair, fighting will be aproved, only if the fighting dose not last more that 3 days, and both armyes have not more that 5 000 men.And while in a battle, you are not allowed to kill people highter rank than you, and you are not allowed to kill unarmed or surrendered.
2. assasination attempts will be approved, but can only sent by the others nation president, emperor, etc. (no self initiatives) and the assasination is only 1 person (no 10- gangs attacking)

And ilegal:

1. kidnapping is not approved
2. neither is using spies

The arbriters of change will have to see that all of the above is respected, if not we the rest of the nations will attack the unobeying nation. Because there are 3 arbitrers: two of them will go to both sided "camps" and see that the rules are obeyed, and one will see that the two are folowing the rules as well (they will take turns).

Democratic Proliferation Aide

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.
Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Korgania

Description: While many nations are suffering under the oppressive Democratic systems of the world, Korgania, through the effective use of central government, is a prosperous nation. To follow in these footsteps we must defend against the imposition of Democratic practices on sovereign nations. To combat this heinous abuse of UN power I propose the following:
1. Outlaw the unjust use of military force on helpless nations. This will effectually acknowledge that they are important and that the UN is not simply a bully of the world.
2. Decrease the voting ability of Democratic nations by one half. This will allow the more effective use of power.
3. Provide the necessary resources to allow the betterment of Korgania.
Right. So you're going to limit democratic freedoms, by using the category that promotes them.
Aside from the fact that it is an illegal games mechanics proposals, and a quite humourous attempt to promote Korgania.

My reasoning is this: "war ethics" is the biggest oxymoron I've ever seen. Why? Because when you're at war, there's no such thing as "playing fair"- you're out to literally kill the other nation, and you're going to do everything you can to do it. Yeah, it'd be nice if people did in fact play fair, but that only exists in a dream world- war is brutal, war is dirty and most definitely war isn't fair.

Category: International Security

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Hitler XXVI

Description: This act is trying to be past for the birth and start of the International Cloning Federation by boosting military funds strongly.

Cloning will definately, be the future. If world population starts to decrease (Which according to scientists, will) cloning will be the only way to restock and start up the world's population again.I don't think the game is coded so that a nation's population can decrease. :confused:

Cloning doesn't have a bad effect. Don't listen if someone says cloning is bad. Cloning is good in every way.

Cloning will help the military and police force significantly. Once the military has found the ultimate warrior, then the cloning will take action and in a decade or two, the best army their could be has been created. This will be with the police force too.Because we all know how well this worked in Star Wars Episode II. :rolleyes:

The funds that go the military will create the ICF. The International Cloning Federation offers:

1. FCP - The Family Cloning Program. You may have yourself cloned for family purposes. A way for people to remember what you looked like.For those people who are afraid of cameras. :rolleyes:

2. CCP - The Child Cloning Program. Children can be cloned for the cause of twins. The Child Cloning Program will also provide a "Design your own child" program as well. The best way to make your child the way you want him/her to be.We can rebuild them, make them bigger, stronger, faster. :rolleyes:

3. If cloning does take effect, the CWU (Clones Worker Union) will be made. This is so that clones may have civil rights just like humans.Might as well, just in case someone confused and forgets which one is the original and which is the clone. :rolleyes:

4. Clones have all rights, including political rights, just like any human.Didn't you just say this?

5. When clones are employed, employers may not hit or strike clones at any time.However, it's still perfectly legal for the employers to hit or strike the original. :rolleyes:

6. All clones are equal.Except those created with the previously mentioned "Design your own child" program, because they'll be bigger, stronger, and faster. :rolleyes:

7. clones are as equal as any human being on the face of the earth.I believe this is the third time you've said this.

8. Sports entertainment and military forces are given the right to clone anyone, as many times as they would like for political reasons.Just what the world needs, more than one Triple H. :rolleyes:

9. Great leaders and officers will be cloned for future ruling.And to provide a replacement in case of assanation. (and yes I realize that that's probably spelled wrong)

Cloning will take effect on every nation and region. There is nothing wrong with the concept of cloning.The practice however could still be considered wrong.

The International Cloning Federation is now hiring in the region, Dark Germany. We ask for your aproval to pass this act. If this already exists, why are you writing a proposal to create it? :confused:

War has always been ruthless- it's just what we use to destroy changes. Genghis Khan killed millions in the course of a single campaign, and he never had anything like a bomb or biological weapons. As for when the period for when war could actually be "romanticized" ended, I'd say it's when they developed the bomb, because it singnaled the start of the "mechanization" of war and the end of its "human" elements. To paraphrase the "Stealth" movie trailer, war is just some video game now...

The Subjective Morality Act
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Naspar Cosif

Description: The General Assembly,

AWARE that there are many nations in the world.

OBSERVING that many of these nations have various moral codes and senses of ethics.

NOTING that the UN has passed several resolutions on issues that may be considered strictly ethical onces(such as UN Resolution #61: Abortion Rights, UN Resolution #81: Definition of Marriage, and UN Resolution #82: Stem Cell Research Funding).

DECLARING that the member-nations of the UN have a right to legislate morality in their own political spheres.

HENCEFORTH: All member-nations have the right to leave unenforced resolutions that call for action that is considered immoral by the government of that nation; unless the resolution specifically declares that the Subjective Morality Act does not apply in that particular instance.

~The Emirate of Naspar Cosif presents this resolution as a compromise; so that conservative nations will not be upset with having to follow liberal resolutions, and vice-versa. While at the moment, there are only liberal resolutions to be ignored, the SMA will protect a nation from having to follow any future conservative resolutions.

Hopefully this act, if passed, will reduce the amount of controversy surrounding the NationStates UN.~

noting that there are many well intentioned resolutions that have been passed over the years, many of which have been poorly worded. it is time now to recognise that rather than squabbling over whether a resolution states clearly enough the conditions of its employment and thus attempting to repeal said resolutions on this basis, we should instead be striving to uphold the ideals which those resolutions represent.

let it be said that henceforth the spirit of all resolutions as decided by a majority decision shall be used to determine whether or not a resolution may be altered to clarify its intention

summary:
1 stop repealing resolutions based on poor wording
2 follow the spirit of the resolutions when makin decisions
3 the spirit and hence the resolution itself is to be determined at referendum whereby a majority vote will allow new clauses to be added to old resolutions
4 referendum voting will occur once a month, the resolutions to be voted on will be decided one week prior so that healthy discussion can occur

please send a telegram to tell me your opinion of this proposalI don't know what to say.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #19

Proposed by: Rad1101

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

Argument: The verbage in this resolution is too specific and discriminates in favor of religions who fight wars in the name of dieties who are not the Judeo-christian God, AKA: Yahweh, Jahovah, G~d, The Lord, et. al.

This resolution needs to be repealed and re-written as not to discriminate against specific religions.

The very resolution that endorses religious tolerance contradictorially enspouses religious discrimination.

The UN should not uphold discriminatory resolutions.Can any one explain this logic to me?:confused:

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Caiena

Description: The United Nations was first consived as a world regulation and representation organization. In its first project, it was suposed to be a united world govern which would rule over regional governments unifying the world.

One of its responsabilities would be the security of its citizens.

Crime is the single problem that affects most of the world, no matter if they are small or capital ones.

Based on that, I would like to propose the creation of a UN Anti Crime task force acting directly under orders of UN security council with powers to take on investigations, police actions and aprehencion as well as supervise all internal police activities in the UN member countries.

Theforce would be at first deployed on the countries with most crime problems spreading all over UN members territory with time.

By creating this task force, we can make sure that the world will bea better place to live.And we have another attempt to create a police force for the UN, not to mention a reference to our nonexistant security council.

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Jimoria

Description: (Note: While it may appear humorous to some, this is NOT a joke proposal)
We, the Armed Republic of Jimoria, propose that the moon orbiting our planet be destroyed in order to prevent the many atrocities the satellite performs upon many peoples of various nations. Jimoria's top scientists, as well as several others throughout the region of Gaming Ground Zero, have determined that destroying the moon would be beneficial to the environment. Many weather issues, such as tidal waves, flooding, and other ocean-related catastrophes are a direct result of the moon's orbit. For this reason, we consider the moon a threat to international security as opposed to the environment. (Also, no businesses would be affected since no businesses use the moon) By destroying the moon we would effectively put a stop to all these international problems. While some may argue that the moon is beautiful, the benefits of destroying it far outweigh it aesthetic value. We propose that the moon's reign of terror be nullified once and for all!

Summary of Proposal: Every UN Country will provide a means as which to destroy the moon. The safest way of destroying this menace, that is, the way that will harm our planet the least (if at all), will be used efficiently to help rid us of the orbiting menace!And what about those nations on the moon?

We must come to our senses, bigger, stonger, and more destructive are not always better!!!The idea that won't die.:rolleyes:

Complete rubbish. I am talking RL here, as I believe that to be what Funkdunk is referring to.

Let's have a look at some of the major military campaigns of the past 200 years.
The Napoleonic Wars: little to do with religion. More aboout a midget with great tactical sense and an emperor complex.
Crimea: Imperial stoush between Russia and the Ottomans. Religion can't have had much to do with it, as the Christian British and French forces allied with the Muslim Turkish forces, against the (admittedly Orthodox) Christian Russian army.
Franco-Prussian War: Battle between the imperialist French and soon-to-be imperialist Prussian (German) armies. About territory, not religion.
WWI: Territory based, between Imperialist powers. Serbia wanted independence from Austro-Hungary. Germany wanted more land. The Ottomans wanted to regain a bit of respect as an empire. Russia wanted to expand into Europe.
WWII: Nazi-led Germany, allied with Fascist Italy and expansionist Japan want more power. Japan takes over most of China and South-East Asia. Germany takes over Poland and France before running into the Red Army and the RAF. Religion doesn't even get a guernsey.

Now, these are just some of the major wars in the last 200 years. None of them have been about religion. Yes, some sides were religious, but that was never the reason for going to war. You want religious wars, go back to the Crusades and the French Wars of Religion, all in the Middle Ages.

This proposal gives rights to the newborn child to have his body left alone.

This proposal will allow men to be mutilated once reached adulthood if there religion requires it.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: CatholicBlueGuy

Description: Noting with deep concern that the death penalty has proven to be inherently racist and classist due to the fact that there is a greater chance of a convicted criminal being placed on death row if she or he is an ethnic/national minority, poor, or both,

Alarmed that the death penalty has recently been introduced or reintroduced in many nation states belonging to the UN,

Recalling UN Resolution #21, which states that “all nations, irrespective of their mode of government must, according to the fundamental principles under which the UN was set up, must allow their citizens the right to fair trial, or face eviction from this institution”,

Deeply disturbed that many nations have been found to have executed a convicted criminal who was later found to be either completely innocent or convicted without a proper or prepared attorney, on faulty or incomplete evidence, or on circumstantial evidence and the testimonies of co-defendants,

Recalling UN Resolution #25, which states that “In all actions concerning minors, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities or legislative bodies, the best interests of the minor shall be a primary consideration”,

Aware that minors have been tried as adults and been sentenced to the death penalty,

Noting that putting a minor to death is an action of a court of law that is hardly in the minor’s best interest,

Recalling Article 5 of The Universal Bill of Rights (UN Resolution #26), which states that “All human beings must not be subjected to torture or to cruel or inhuman treatment or punishment”,

Affirming that the death penalty is said “cruel or inhuman treatment or punishment,” as minors and mentally retarded victims have been executed in several UN member states,

Emphasizing that the death penalty has not been found to be a deterrent to violent crime (and, in fact, the opposite is the case),

Keeping in mind that the death penalty costs more than life in prison,

Reaffirming that the death penalty risks killing innocent people,

Recognizing that the death penalty is the greatest denial of civil liberties,

1. Declares accordingly that the death penalty will be made illegal in all UN member states for any reason whatsoever;

2. Applauds the nations which have already banned the use of the death penalty within their borders;

3. Solemnly affirms that any member state who refuses to comply with this resolution will have their membership in the United Nations revoked;

4. Calls upon all nations to place a trade embargo on any nation who endorses and/or uses the death penalty, regardless of their membership in the UN;

5. Requests that all member states voluntarily send reports on their progress in combating crime within their own borders, especially violent crimes.Not this old topic again.:rolleyes:

Doesn't mean that it isn't a silly idea, after all resolutions dealing with the death penalty regardless of whether they are attempting to ban it or implement it are pretty much universally reviled regardless of whether a nation uses it or not, which qualifies, in my mind, any proposal dealing with it as being silly.

Description: UN Resolution #18: Hydrogen Powered Vehicles (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: [Uplink: Confirmed]

Secretary Tolen Ren....
"One problem with hydrogen is the bad public relations angle - most of us have heard of hydrogen bombs, and seen the dramatic footage of the hydrogen-filled Hindenberg airship exploding in 1937. But hydrogen can be stored safely - in a series of tests on a tank of liquid hydrogen, BMW played flames at 900oC on it for 70 minutes, punched holes into it, and even squashed it until it broke. Sometimes the hydrogen leaked out, and sometimes it caught alight, even exploded. We cannot therefore say it is completely safe for people to use Hydrogen cars yet. The implications of a possible disaster could be catostrophic. If one where to blow it could set of a chain-reation with near-by cars..... disasterous!
Until further research and development is made in the areas of Hydrogen Car saftey the Askiran Government will not accept this UN Resolution. Vote for more research and development in the area. Make the commercial use of Hydrogen safe! Thank-you." - Secretary Ren

Well, you know, ethanol isn't made from petrol at all. It's just standard alcohol. You can get it from most fruits, and a lot of vegetables besides. You can even make it from plain sugar.
And I don't see how you're going to get enough hydrocarbons from corn to make diesel or plastics.
And Whereas Hydrogen fuel is a more aboundant and efficient source of fuel for high octane vehicles like Autombiles and airplanes
Huh? You do realise that octane is a biproduct of petrol production, right? How is a high octane vehicle going to run on hydrogen? Do automobiles even generally run on octane?
Therefore the extraction and refinement of petrolium is hereby banned.
Hmm.

Plus there's the fact that this is meant to ban Oil products, not just petrol. Well, there goes olive farming, the peanut industry, most foods and a whole lot more. If it's about petrol, make sure the title matches the text.

Compulsory Education Act
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Padronato

Description: The United Nations,

NOTING that many young people cannot study until the age of 18 due to the poverty of their families, which need one more person to work;

CONSIDERING that a better education grants a chance to improve own social position;

REGRETTING the crystallization of social positions determined by this situation;

RECALLING UN Resolution #28, implemented August 19, 2003, which grants free education for all until the age of 18, but does not build conditions to allow any people;

REQUIRES the following:

1. Education should be compulsory for all until the age of 18.
2. Nations in the UN should allocate funds to pay each student until the age of 18 an Education Salary, equal to the average salary in the nation.
3. Work until the age of 18 should be outlawed.

I put this in there for those two reasons- really, how can a country afford something like that? I know many of us (like myself) have argued "that if we're doing 'school work' then the school should pay us", but the nation's average salary? Don't you think that's a bit much?

I'm also thinking that this may also be covered before, but I'm not sure.

2. No nation shall prohibit research subjects of accredited researchers, unless the research is potentially dangerous to human life and without significant merit.

3. The UN will comission a panel of 9 experts in specific fields who will determine if a research project is with or without merit when called into question by a member state. The judges will be experts in the following fields.

1.Medicine
2.Nuclear Fission
3.Astro Physics
4.Theoretical Mathematics
5.Chemistry
6.Human Biology
7.Micro Biology
8.Terminal Diseases/Nervous Disorders
9.Genetics

These Judges will be elected by their peers, and a questionable research project will need a majority of the votes to be protected under this resolution, If a majority of the votes are not secured, then the research called into question can be banned by any member state that objects to it.

Ideas:
1)A united millitary would have access to all nations millitary services and bases, for whatever reason necesary.
2)A united army MUST engage in combat when fellow allies are attacked. This force must only be used for defencive purposes and not out of aggretion
3)The united army will only be deployed in nations involved in the unification and will not be allowed to deploy outside of these countries unless the circumstances prove this to be impossible.
4)Each region would specialies in a millitary service (e.g. foot soldiers, air force). This will allowed for a more highly trained force with better equipment as all millitary budgeting would be allocated to that sector.
5)A vote would decide the Grand Commander of these forces and subsequent votes would deside on a commander of the sub-catagories of the united millitary.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Hitler XXVI

Description: This is an act to improve the rights of the working class.

The bad treatment of the working class dates back to the early peak of the Industrial Revolution. Workers were paid minimum wages, lived in the dirtiest places there could be, worked for more then 12 hours a day and often died sleeping on the job because of falling into the machines.

"Workers are replaceable parts to a machine." Quoted an 18th century employer.

Workers should get the rights they deserve. Workers are human, therefore they should be equal as anybody else in the world.

These are to be laws for the working class:

1. A workers union is to be installed so that the cruelty of employers against workers can be abolished.

2. No employer can strike a worker at any time.

3. Workers are to recieve a health insurance program so they can be protected from the machines of a factory.

4. The environment where the proletariat work is to be upgraded.

5. Work houses are to be abolished due to the fact that the workers were treated like slaves.

6. All workers are equal.

7. No worker/workers can bribe or be bribed.

8. The maximum hours per week shall be 41.

9. Children under 16 can not work.

10. Adults over 70 can not work.

11. Minimum wages are $6.00 (Any currency you have) per hour.

With out workers for our regions, the economy is sure to fall. Without them, we are nothing.

If the working class rights are improved, workers will want to work. Working won't be such a terrible thing once these laws have been passed. Unemployment will decrease and more and more workers will be willing to work.

I ask for your vote to help the ones we never speak of and to help them.This one earns itself a card

RECOGNIZING that 3,529 deaths deaths were reported in the USA in 1999 due to asphxyiation of hydrogen hydroxide.

RECOGNIZING that attempts to purify hydrogen hydroxide by distillation can lead to de-ionization shortening life span.

RECOGNIZING that when heated, hydrogen hydroxide can cause severe burns.

It is recommended that a ban be placed on hydrogen hydroxide in all UN countries to prevent death and disease. It is also recommended that a fine be placed on all those in posession of hydrogen hydroxide.

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses

Proposed by: Avendosora

Description: We, at the Holy Republic of Avendosora, find the following:

1)The increasing discovering and exploiting of Uranium mines increases the amount of radiation in the air, damaging the ozone layer.

2)Woodchip manufacturing increases deforestization, decreaseing food, wildlife and oxygen

3)The production of Automobiles and coal power plants increases air polution causing global warming and flooding.

4)The construction of Hydro-electric Dams increases the aomount of silt in rivers and streams, making it inpossible for fish to find sutable nests, decreasing the fish population dramattically.

5) The contruction of Nuclear powerplants produces large amounts of chemical biohazards and radioactive waste that harms all asspects of the enviroment, no matter where one dumps it.

To solve the said problems, we propose the following:

Section 1)The mining complexes for uranium be restrained to a small totally enclosed area. Numerous reasearch facilities in our region have completed a prototype robot that is supposedly capable of safely mining uranium.

Section 2)Instead of manufacturing wood chips, we can A) recycle old ones, or B) use gravel instead. To help replenish the forests of our nations, we also propose that a program be started to replant the lost growth

Section 3)Replace all current power sorces with A)Solar Panels B)Wind Farms, or C) a theoretical desighn based on Einstien's E=Mc^2. Using extreme Magnetic forces, theoretically we should be able to seperate the electrons and protons of an atom into two different kinds of energy, negative and positive, leaving a lump of Netural paricals that can be desposed of safely without harming the environment. If our calculations are correct, one gram of matter would equal 18,000 Kilo Watts , which woul power a 25 watt light bulb for 28,000 years.

Section 4) That all auto mobiles be replaced by enviro-friendly transportation. Reasearch facilities within our region have constructed a prototype transport that is small and spherical. It runs on solar power, and is constantly charging it's battery, even when not turned on. To further Automobile safety, The car would be guided by a GPS network, that is linked to all other automobiles of it's type, that would automatically adjust speed and direction as it took you to the place specified by voice command. It has a voice key recognition program that is so sensitive, it is capable of telling the difference between recording and real life. With this break through in personel transportation, we hope to make the world more enviromentally friendly.

The above proposals are found to have the follow ing effects:

1)Ozone replenishment

2)Forest preservation. Wildlife preservation. Increase in food, primarily meats.

3)More efficient source of energy. Less polution.

4) Less pollution. More family time. Drivers License no longer required.

My fellow UN Delegates, I do not understand why nations and regions are creating, as well as inventing nuclear weapons. What do nuclear weapons do for us? Some might say:

1. Nuclear weapons protect their nation/region.
2. In case of emergency, nuclear weapons are useful.
3. It gets the bombing faster.
4. It will teach the opponent a valuble lesson.

These reasons are nothing to me! Nuclear weapons are the worst things nations and regions could possibly have.
Here are reasons why nuclear weapons should be banned:

1. Nuclear weapons offer the chance of killing tons of people at one time.
2. The repurcussion's of nuclear weapons are terrible. Nuclear weapons cause radiation , which causes cancer.
3. Thousands or perhaps millions and billions of lives would be lost.
4. If nuclear weapons were dropped, our precious earth will only become a waste land.
5. Nuclear weapons don't offer anything, except death.

What will dropping nuclear weapons accomplish? It won't accomplish anything! Think of our lives.

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

Argument: WE are sovereign nations that run ourselves. WE should reserve the right to collect taxes freely. How do our governements operate? TAX MONEY! Without it, our governements will not be able to pay state officials and governments officials, and therefore, each nations will not be able to operate. This is because there will be NO MONEY to support the government without taxes. So I ask my fellow UN Delegates to support this repeal, and allow governments to funtion the way they were meant to!Read the damn resolution. It only prevents the UN from directly taxing a nation's citizens.:headbang:

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Relax

Proposed by: Vermette

Description: If you live in the US, you cannot deny this proposal a positive vote. (Even if you are a socialist) In our contitution, we are granted the right to bear arms. Plain and simple. There really can't be an American aruguing against me.

If you do not live in the US, listen to this. Every person deserves a right to defend him/herself (yes, women can use guns to!). Taking that right away would be wrong.

My proposal is this: relax gun control laws. I don't mean go overboard. There is no need for citizens of our countries running rampant with assualt rifles. However, every human being dserves the right to bear arms.Multiple RL references thereby making this

I propose that, instead of having death sentence we replace them with about three to four years of torture sentence.And here we have a possible violation of UN Resolution #41 End Barbaric Punsihments.

This revolt around the idea that if we torture these worse off people enough they will be too afraid to recommite crimes after they left prison.

The NSA will provide:
1. A barcode system. Civilians will have a barcode which will identify you and your past.
2. An increase of security at airports. More police and cameras.
3. A secret police force that is willing to go under cover and find secret crimes such as: Drug users and Prostitution.
4. The NSA will be incharge if political party's are commiting crimes.

With the NSA in action, crimes will decrease.

I ask for your support. A secret police force? And I suppose that it will be under the UN's control which is illegal.

Repeal "Gay Rights"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #12
Proposed by: James Costello

Description: UN Resolution #12: Gay Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This resolution is an abomination. Firstly, homosexuality is unhealthy and unnatural. Secondly, the sacred institution of marriage is one of the moral pillars of our society and it would be unnecessary to degrade it. Furthermore, the resolution refers to the 'outspoken minority who wish to oppress gays'. Well, the validity of this reference depends on your view of oppression. If you cite oppression as discontent toward self-destructive behavior or the normalization thereof, then, it probably does not make much sense. Homosexuality is self-destructive behavior, whereas marriage between a man and a woman is a healthy relationship. Homosexuality is proven to spread AIDS about 20 times better than heterosexuality. So why then, should we ammend homosexual relationships as a valid type of marriage? Where do we draw the line?

How far do we carry the argument for 'tolerance' and against 'oppression' and 'discrimination'? The simple fact is that this all depends on where you draw the line. If you see homosexuality as okay (but clearly legal), you might think that polyamory is wrong. If you see polyamory as okay, you might think bestiality is wrong. However, each generation is being taught that the line has to be further and further from sanity. The truth is that the next step is opening marriage to any form of relationship. In fact, there are forms of self-marriage in some nations. We cannot let this monstrosity stand. Please, join me in striking down this inanity.

I'm also curious what "self-marriage" is.

"Do I, me, take me as lawfully wedded self? Yes, yes I do. Do me take I as..."

DECLARING that the UNIM will protect member nations in order of invasion. **

RESOLVING that the passing of this resolution will make ALL UN member nations free from the threat of invasion, thus increasing the number of nations in the UN. This is due to the fact that they will desire the same protection we will enjoy.

** (The meaning of this statement is that vulnerable member nations will have invasions repelled in order of when they occur. So the 1st invasion, gets the 1st military units of support. This should not prove a problem, due to the fact that the UN is so large, and the UNIM will be large as well.)Illegal, the UN cannot have an army.

2) Chav investigation officers will be employed by the government to hunt down and arrest pikeys.

3) They will be deported swiftly after their arrest.

4) Guards and the Royal Navy armed to the teeth will patrol the ghetto and any escapee will be shot on site.

5) The council estates they used to live in will therefore be demolished and society can return to the way it should be.Illegal, RL reference.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Alabia

Description: WHEREAS UN Resolution #20 "RBH Replacement" states that all families that make under the national "poverty level" must be covered by health care.

WHEREAS the "poverty level" is not even US $10,000.

WHEREAS many hundreds of thousands of families that make up to US $35,000 cannot afford health care and still be able to support their own family.

PROPOSING a four-point plan designed to only change certain parts of UN Resolution #20 "RBH Replacement"

The four-point plan is as follows:
1) All families who are at or below the “poverty level” of US$10,005.50 per family member must be covered by healthcare insurance, as long as one member of the family, age 21 or older, is employed.

2) All children, age 20 and younger, must be covered by healthcare insurance and be reimbursed up to at least 55%.

3) All seniors, age 61 and older, must be covered by healthcare and prescription drug insurance/coverage and be reimbursed up to at least 65% for healthcare matters, while up to at least 50% for required prescription dugs.

4) All people, ages 21 to 60, must be offered healthcare insurance and be reimbursed up to at least 30%. In addition, if the insured, in this category, has been employed for at least 240 days in the given year, they must be reimbursed by an additional 5%.

(*Note: Monetary figures were shown in US$ as a general currency; it must be converted accordingly and appropriately based on conversion rates.)

Though this is not a full strength plan, it is a necessary start, and a reasonable start, in order to be able to be achievable by all decent nations. Basic healthcare is a necessity, and the Democratic States of Austrivum encourage all nations to pass even larger, more inclusive healthcare packages within their own nation.
The exceptions to this resolution include:
1) A UN nation classified as a “third world country,” by the UN, does not have to implement this resolution until its status is upgraded.

2) A UN nation determined to be “at war” by the UN, is exempted from continuing the program, but must have a backup program/plan.

3) A nation whose economic situation is detrimental may plea to the UN for a reduced strength “Required Basic Healthcare” resolution. However, should the UN at any time deem a UN nation’s economy stable enough to support the full strength resolution, it must be implemented under order from the UN.

After this resolution’s passage, it must be instituted within three (3) months, otherwise face UN ejection, or plea one’s case for additional time, that cannot be in excess of an additional eighteen (18) months, to be granted only by and through the UN Illegal, not only because RBH Replacement would need to be repealed first, but it states that nations that are not in compliance face ejection from the UN.

Kids age 15-17 should be able to work at all jobs that they are able to except for the ones that require college, years or expirience, etc.

Goals:
*This would make it so kids don't have to take their parents money and they can earn it on their own.
*Kids would be able to learn how to make a living on their own before they have to go out into the real world so there won't be as much poverty.

ategory: Repeal

Resolution: #26

Proposed by: Plor

Description: UN Resolution #26: The Universal Bill of Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: PROPOSES to remove article 8 form the Universal Bill of Rights for the following reasons:

1) An individual can be directly influenced and manipulated by others including family members from a young age with little choice in upbringing and influences, the individual can not be held wholly accountable for actions

2) The acts of a family member can influence the acts of an individual, therefore, the family member is partially to blame for any unlawful acts and must be held accountable to the extent of that influence

PROPOSES to add the following section to the Universal Bill of Rights:

Equal rights are often misinterpreted or used for an individual or governments advantage. Often equal rights are abused my majorities on the minorities and minorities to influence the majorities. Equal rights offer rights to all regardless of anything.

ACKNOWLEDGES that every person has a RIGHT to equal rights regardless of GENDER (male, female, undefined, transgender or both), AGE, COLOUR OF SKIN, WEIGHT OR ANY CLASSIFICATION OF THE HUMAN BODY OR SCALE THEREOF.

ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES that equal rights apply to states of mind and that any person of self-conscious thought has equal rights

ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES that equal rights apply to the free will and choice of an individual

PROPOSES that equal rights be upheld in courts of law regardless of any of the above mentioned factors

This will prevent any form of bias due to a difference of individual

ENCOURAGES that all individuals be treated as such and that while basic human rights stand, further individual rights are of an individual level especially within a court of law I never thought I'd see someone try to repeal this one. And with repeals it's all or nothing you can't just remove part of a resolution that you diasgree with.

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Risorgimento UAP

Description: I believe we need to secure a balance of political power, peace, and prosperity for the regions and nations of Nationstates.

In order to achieve this goal I suggest the UN set up an organization run by and for the people of NS. I call it:
NISEI which stands for the Nationstates Institution for Security, Espionage, and Investigation.

It will accomplish these simple tasks:

1) To restore a balance of power between the UN, MODs, and people of NS. Keeping a series of checks and balances (ie like the USA branches)

2) The right to Secure and protect the fragile rights and freedoms of all regions and newbie nations to guide them against oppression.

3) The right to use Espionage tactics to infiltrate and arrest hackers, region crashers, and invaders whom's only will is to crush their "enemies".

4) The right to Investigate all signs of governmental oppression from corrupt regions, UN officials, and top leaders of the Administration to end bribery,fraud, and political sleaze for the good of the people!

5) to provide a united front against criminal activity everywhere (the Interpol of NS).

6) To release valuable and vast quantities of data to the public whenever they need it (except listed criminals).This one is so illegal I don't even know where to start.

Description: NOTING the increasing pressure on the Health Services, and the limitations of the budget of nations to continue financing adequate health care for its citizens;

AWARE that a large proportion of the health budget is spent on operations and care for smoking-related illness;

ALERT to the fact that the vast majority of smoking related illnesses are self-inflicted

PROHIBITS the following practices:

1) The use, spread, and creation without proper safety precautions*, of computer viruses and other similar malicious programs including worms, Trojans, or any other program which damages, or otherwise adversely affects, computer systems; or destroys, damages, manipulates or steals information without authorisation. This excludes security specialists in their attempts to find new ways of defending against viruses, so long as they are creating and using such programs solely for that purpose, and do not use them without the authorisation of the owners of the computer system. They still may not spread them, and they must use proper safety precautions* (*to prevent spread and/or direct damage to computer systems or data in them without the express permission of the owners).

2) Computer hacking, defined as the intentional unauthorised access to, or unauthorised use, theft, manipulation or damage of information stored electronically.

3) Identity theft, defined as any unauthorised attempt to use or steal elements pertaining to another individual’s identity, including credit card details.

MANDATES that any business, organisation (either governmental or non-governmental) must take security measures to protect any confidential data contained in them, especially that data that pertains to information about their customers or members of the public. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, password protection of systems, data encryption, firewall installation, and virus scanning software, etc.

URGES all UN nations to implement security measures or legislation to protect these computer networks and the information contained on them through the promotion of, and education on, such measures, including encryption, password protection, firewalls, virus scanning software, and the use of secure operating systems, etc.

ENCOURAGES international cooperation between national law enforcement agencies, as well as the voluntary co-operation of the computer and Internet industry, in an attempt to reduce computer crime and improve the security of global computer networks and systems

ESTABLISHES the International Computer Security Institute (ICSI) whose tasks shall be to:

1) monitor international computer crime and work with law enforcement agencies to prevent it

2) promote and encourage the development of new security systems to help prevent computer crime

3) create and co-ordinate education programmes on computer crime prevention

and which shall be funded by voluntary donations by states, organisations, businesses or individuals.OK, it starts off by talking about smokers and then suddenly the text is identical to the current resolution up for vote.

Description: Considering that, in accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations and other international instruments, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Bearing in mind the obligation of States to promote universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Deeply concerned that in many countries, often in a persistent manner, enforced disappearances occur, in the sense that persons are arrested, detained or abducted against their will or otherwise deprived of their liberty by officials of different branches or levels of Government, or by organized groups or private individuals acting on behalf of, or with the support, direct or indirect, consent or acquiescence of the Government, followed by a refusal to disclose the fate or whereabouts of the persons concerned or a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of their liberty, which places such persons outside the protection of the law,

Considering that enforced disappearance undermines the deepest values of any society committed to respect for the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms, and that the systematic practice of such acts is of the nature of a crime against humanity,

Recalling concern about the reports from various parts of the world relating to enforced or involuntary disappearances, as well as about the anguish and sorrows caused by those disappearances, and called upon Governments to hold law enforcement and security forces legally responsible for excesses which might lead to enforced or involuntary disappearances of persons,

Recalling also the protection afforded to victims of armed conflicts

Having regard in particular to the relevant articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which protect the right to life, the right to liberty and security of the person, the right not to be subjected to torture and the right to recognition as a person before the law,

Having regard also to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which provides that States parties shall take effective measures to prevent and punish acts of torture,

Bearing in mind the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials, the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, the Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power and the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners,

Affirming that, in order to prevent enforced disappearances, it is necessary to ensure strict compliance with the Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment and with the Principles on the Effective Prevention and Investigation of Extra-legal, Arbitrary and Summary Executions

Bearing in mind that, while the acts which comprise enforced disappearance constitute a violation of the prohibitions found in the aforementioned international instruments, it is none the less important to devise an instrument which characterizes all acts of enforce disappearance of persons as very serious offences and sets forth standards designed to punish and prevent their commission.This one is silly for only one reason.

Description: Regarding my recent proposal re: cluster bomb bans,
which was rejected by admin. for real world references,
I would like to appeal for reconsideration.

I made no references to real world incidents or nations.
I was referring only to banning cluster bombs and detailing
what they are... surely this is no more real world than
references already within the game to actual religions
and actual political movements (e.g. Nazis)and other
actual issues (e.g. euthenasia,computer crime, diseases)
and other actual weapons (e.g. why is nuclear disarmament not real world but cluster bomb disarmament too real world?)

I am assuming that if all those other parties, religions,
movements, issues, and weapons can exist in both the real
world and on nationstates, cluster bombs would exist in
both realms. Could the ban proceed if I had been more
vague about the nature of cluster bombs? (and why? would
the computer crimes act have been dismissed if they
had described how computers are made?)

Please give this another look.

Outlawing Dictatorships
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.
Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Muppix

Description: The UN body recognizes the fact that too many of the world's coutries are run by one small elite of people; a socalled dictatorship.

The UN body acknowledge the fact that the UN is founded on democratic values, although there has been a firm policy of the UN to accept dictatorships into the UN body.

The growth of non-democratic nations must be looked upon as a threat to the whole system that the UN is founded upon, and the UN body must acknowledge this fact as true.

The People's Republic of Muppix call upon all nations to forbid the dictatorships, the evil-doers, to be a part of our democratic forum for debate.

The UN body will hereafter be a mass of democratic nations, solving world-wide problems in a democratic way, without the hurdles, as the dictatorships represent.
Its tough to get more obviously illegal than this one. There's a lot of "psychotic dictatorships" in the UN.
Compulsory Cremation
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.
Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Landolina

Description: A better solution in cremation offers a simple, dignified alternative to the costly funeral experience that often creates financial disaster for those on limited or fixed incomes. Today's funeral is a major expense and can be repeated many times within an individual's lifetime. Few people, however, have the knowledge or experience to proceed when that day arrives.

Burial takes up valuable land and for this reason many people consider cremation to be more environmentally friendly however I wish for my proposal not to be environmentally orientated. Land is vital and is often taken up needlessly with mass burial grounds, this being with no disrespect to those that have previously passed away.

Nations in the UN should therefore implement this resolution. As vital land is quickly being used. Cremation is generally cheaper for the citizens of your nation. Nations with high populations can easily dispose of the growing numbers of their dead. Nations that aspire to become larger nations would further benefit in the future.

Cremation is a reliable and cost effective option to remove the ever-increasing worry of the amounting dead, especially in the scenario of war. Governments can also regulate and control the cremation process.
I'd have to call national sovereignty on this. There's several RL and NS religions that would prohibit cremation.
Hey wheres my gun?

SEEING the controversy overwelming the issue of gay marriage, you must look at the root of the cause; which is that our governments are using the christian doctrine of marriage.

And so, in support of the freedom of religion, and recognizing that not all people believe in the idea of marriage this document now redefines marriage as:

Marriage: A religious union between two people.

SECONDLY, all nations in the UN will be required to remove the ability of their governments to unite two people in marriage

Article 2. Any one with AIDS that is caught covering their tattoo up, or lying about their condition must be exterminated immediately.

Article 3. Foreign immigrants must have a blue A stamped on their passport so they cannot enter the U.S. Foreign immigrants who do not have AIDS, must have red A stamped on their passport to prove that they have been checked.

If we do not rid America of AIDS, there might not be an America in the future.

Illegal, attempting to create a UN controlled police force.

Actually, I disagree with your reasoning of why it's illegal- the title has absoluetly nothing to do with the subject, because "Marshall Law", the TV Series, was cancelled and the proposal does not address that (nor does it address the issue surrounding the comic book's status either). Now, if it was dealing with martial law, then, yes, I'd agree that it's an illegal attempt at creating an UN army, but the title says otherwise.

Compulsory nudity proposal

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Cy young award winners

Description: This proposal calls for the compulsory nudity for all nations within the UN. While this may seem a bit odd, lit me point out a couple of benefits.

1. Social equality would become more significant now that clothing would be gone.
2. With no use for our clothes, we could improve economy by selling our clothes to those nations that are not in the UN.
3. Land can be saved so that the environment doesn't get destroyed because we need to build factories.

Some of the other notes about this proposal-
1. Clothing can still be worn within private property if you should choose to.
2. This will benefit the children because they will not have to listen to their parents explain the facts of life to them.

I hope that you take this proposal into consideration.

ALSO RECOGNIZING that every nation accepts some amount of immigration per year (including refugees or illegal aliens)

VALUING the idea that all nations have their own immigration laws, no matter how restrictions

REALIZING that the nations can never accept all of the prospective immigrants for fear of economic failure

APALLED that nations may restrict their prospective immigrants based on monetary or racial boundaries

A SOLUTION being having uniform immigration standards based on economy:
1) For nations with the weakest economies shall have the most restictive standards
2) Nations with a mid-range economy having less restrictive standards
3) The nations that are wealthiest with the most open standards

HOWEVER these restrictions can be lessened by the nations but can't be more restrictive

AFTER all possible immigrants are given a fair and equal chance of entering the nation, the nation is under control of the said immigrant and can do what they wish with the immigrant including deportation.

Any advances you get from these will not result from our actions. After all, as far as we know you attained the knowledge on your own and without our help.

The above scenario is how easy it is to abuse that idea. No, it isn't an actual offer. Vastiva had to work honestly, or some might say dishonestly, to gain their advances. We in no way gave them the advanced ships they ended up with.

Legalization of Drugs

A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.

Category: Recreational Drug Use

Decision: Legalize

Proposed by:

Description: If this resolution is passed, the following will be immediatelyu instated within all nations signed under as a United Nations delegate.

With legalization of recreational drugs, the government could formally tax and, in doing so, gain great amounts of money for further spending.

The drugs could only be used in certain locations which will make sure that the user stay within the walls of the building until the effect of the drug has completely worn off.

In doing this, the user of the drug will not be in a public forum and possibly vandalize, rape, threaten, kill or steal anything while under the influence.

With full legalization, while being used within specially marked bars and sold specfially and only in those bars to be used specifically and only those bars, a great tax revenue will come and increase government spending within all nations affected by tis resolution.

As stated, once passed these laws will take immediate affect and be enforced.

Drug traffic of any kind not associated with and only with those specially marked bars will still be countef as illegal, but with the passing of this resolution all illegal drug traffic will slow and murders, thefts, rapes, and various other crimes will lessen as well.

All drug bars will be required by law to have at least six rooms in which overnight users will be able to stay in until the drugs have worn off.

Approvals: 7 (SPACEBASE, Ministria, Zouloukistan, Tactical PIE, Gaiah, Aquarian Arcadia, Keilbasa)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 143 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Fri Jun 3 2005

The way the rather confusing first line of this reads seems to be that the proposal only applies to UN delegates. Good news for the rest of us :D.

The main problem surrounds the sport of Football, which was invented in the 1400s, IN EUROPE. And to this day the Americans call this sport "soccer" ( which is a stupid name anyway.)

They have instead stolen the name football for their form of glorified rugby.

We propose that they either swap the names around or scrap the term "soccer" completely and invent a new name for their rugby-like sport.
I propose this because I feel sorry for the Americans and feel that it is about time to tell them that the rest of the world mocks them over this issue.
By implementing this change they can save themselves from future embarrassment, and appreciate the history of sport properly.Illegal due to RL references.

Okay, so not only ignoring the fact that the word 'soccer' was invented by the English as a shortened form of 'Association Football', they're also ignoring the fact that the first official codified form of football was, in fact, Australian Rules Football. As such, this proposer is posting incorrect information, and should take note of these facts before posting again.

REALIZING that absent a force to preempt conflict it could mean total devastation,
WORRIED that the status quo is not and will not solve current modes of conflict,

I have proposed a moderately silly resolution which I hope you will all strongly consider actually passing, because it would be awesome.

INTERNATIONAL AWESOMENESS DAY
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Foltan

UNDERSTANDING that the world today suffers from an extreme lack of awesomeness,

THINKING that increased awesomeness will benefit nations and increase quality of life for citizens the world over,

FEELING that the right to experience awesomeness is an undeniable human right,

IN THE HOPES THAT the mean global awesomeness ration (MGAR) can be increased by an order of ten over the next fifteen years,

BE IT RESOLVED that the United Nations and all member states will adopt June 19 as INTERNATIONAL AWESOMENESS DAY - a celebration of all that is awesome in the world.

International Awesomeness Day - designated June 19th in recognition of the awesome contributions of the Archduke of Foltan's sister - will be celebrated with parties, drinking, excellent catered foods, a small and tasteful fireworks show, and a dance recital. It will be pretty damned awesome.

As the first international holiday, where UN member states join together in awesomeness to celebrate as one world, International Awesomeness Day will foster great brotherhood and sisterhood amongst the world's peoples, who for the first time will join together in celebration of a non-secular observance. That, too, is pretty awesome.

Revenues created will go toward assisting the awesomeness-deprived youth of the third world.

Safe Zone Genocide Force
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: El Simonodor

Description: This resolution is intended as a measure to aid the victims of genocide throughout the world-wherever they may occur.

NOTING That some nations will feel it is unnecessary and contrary to foreign policy to interfere in the political, social or economic affairs of other nations.

STATING That the building of such a task force would not be used for any other purpose other than setting up a Safe, Demilitarized Zone for the refuge of countries blighted by the tragedy of genocide

DECLARING That an adequate definition of the term "Genocide" is "The extermination of a particular group, either ethnic or religious, of a population in whole or in part."

STATING That the task force will only be used in instances of proven genocide, and only in such cases.

This proposal is designed to ensure that in the instance of genocide occuring, a designated task-force will intervene to set up a "Safe zone" or "DMZ" in a specific area of the country and enforce this through any means, so as to provide a refuge for the victims of such an event.

Sure sounds like this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8303682&postcount=93) doesn't it?

Selective Voting
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Veldin City

Description: There is a problem with the way laws are voted on and passed in each nation. Why do men vote on abortion, wouldn't it be more fair to have only women and married men vote on it? What about gun control, why should we let biased people like gun-collecters or anti-gun activists vote on it? We don't have biased juries in court trials, so why should we allow biased voters?

Democracy will be improved if we only let certain people vote on certain issues.

Do we need to get into why this is bad?

Repeal "Banning the use of Landmines"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #40
Proposed by: Brendan Land

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

Argument: The Kingdom of Brendan Land repeals resolution (40/banning the use of Landmines.)
We feel that Landmines are an effective means of defence and feel that all nations have the right to defend their lands.
The People of the Brilliant Kingdom of Brendan Land will be willing to defend the Fatherland using any means possible, if that meant using Land mines we would use them.

We do realise that Landmines are extreemly dangerous and can have devestating effects on peoples lives.

Landmines as I have said are an extreemly effective means of defence. Our position is clear, to re-introduce the use of Landmines in armed conflict.

Then once the conflict has finished, the nation or government which ordered the use of Landmines has to ensure every single one is removed from the land and stored under the careful eye of UN weapons inspectors. If the government or nation does not remove them they should face sanctions on them and possible military action.

We urge all member states to vote in favor of the repeal of the resolution on banning the use of Land mines.

Not sure I buy that Brendan (or, at least I think your name is Brendan...)

Eliminate overcrowded Prisons
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice

Description: In an effort to reduce the expense and danger of overcrowded prison conditions, it is proposed that public lashings be used for lessor offenses instead of jail time as a deterrant to crime. The pain and humiliation factors will nake use of the natural learning process that the human psyche is geared to understand, and should reduce crime levels. Jail time can be reserved for greater offenses and repeat offenders of lesser crimes.

Repeal "The Sex Industry Worker Act"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #91
Proposed by: Double Bassi

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

Argument: The UN should NOT FORCE any government to honor immoral acts.

By repealing UN Resolution #91, every nation will be given the freedom to follow their moral beliefs
and the world will be protected from being forced to allow immorality. Every government has the
right to be moral if they choose to be and should not be required to honor and regulate unethical
practices.

This proposal WILL NOT ban prostitution. It will give each nation the freedom to decide
what to do about prostitution so that nations on both sides of the argument can follow their beliefs
about morality.

Do not let immorality be the law of the land.

Not that this one is actually bad, but I don't like the self-righteousness of it, because self-righteousness does NOT belong in proposals.

End of the Car Empires?

Hard on convicts
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Junoboth

Description: We should get a lot harder on crime, Prisons should not be a holiday for thiefs and murderers but a place for punishment. Therefore TVs should be taken away from them and replaced by a radio for each cell. Prisoners should be allowed outside for just one hour a day and if they have no interest in learning a trade or going to the libary they can stay in their cell all day.

We need to make prisons so bad that nobody will want to go back.

Laws for traveling folk
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Junoboth

Description: the day of the lawless pikie must stop. We should be able to track them and bring them to justice. Just last week they camped outside a primary school and on leaving emptied their waste into the school yard. They are a menace to society and must be controlled by either tracking them or making spaces for them to move to and live.

Not only is this really silly, this potentially goes into the "offensive" bin for the use of the word "pikie" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikey).

No More Mornings
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Grays Harbor

Description: RECOGNIZING: That some people and/or other sentient beings find it hard to drag themselves out of bed in the mornings

UNDERSTANDING: How unreasonable it is for corporations to demand such of them

ENCOURAGING: That all people and/or other sentient being have an inherant right to sleep in

URGING: All Corporations to cooperate with the aforementioned right

EXHORTING: That the hours between 5AM and 9AM be made illegal in all UN Nations and all people and/or other sentient beings be allowed to sleep in as not everybody is a "morning person"

I know it's already been posted here, but I sure would love if I could make actually make this law...

Greetings.

We politely seek permission to make the following statement in this thread. If it is inappropriate, please inform us accordingly.

=====

Statement begins:

We note that many proposals (e.g. such concerning spandex, dolphins) cannot conceivably apply to all (or even a majority) of NSUN states. From reading the NSUN forums, we gather that the actual intent of allowing the passage of NSUN proposals into resolutions is that such resolutions should have global effect (or universal effect, if we might be allowed the extension).

Statement ends.

=====

Note:

This should not be construed as 'touting' or 'pimping' for our proposals on 'Law of Space', but we do consider those proposals to meet NSUN intentions concerning resolutions. After all, the majority (if not all) of the members of the NSUN should have territorial claims in three-dimensional space.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #105
Proposed by: Powerhungry Chipmunks

Description: UN Resolution #105: National Systems of Tax (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Tighten:
People will feel insecure when a gun is purchased and not regulated. People will come to form gangs more and more often involving illegal guns. People will know less about guns so when recruiting comes around the corner the people will be even more inexperienced than if we lived along side with guns.And this proposal is trying to do what exactly? :confused:

Argument: WHEREAS The United Nations is financed by the voluntary contributions of member nations

and WHEREAS its possible that a member nation, in an act of diplomatic rage, will stop supporting the UN

and WHEREAS the the UN could run out of funding, meaning that it could not do the good deeds and other jobs that the people of the world so richly deserve

and CONCLUDING that the UN needs a constant source of funds

NOW THEREFORE the UN shall tax 1.5% of each persons income who is a citizen of a UN Nation in order to ensure that there are sufficent funds. This tax shall not apply to anyone who is below the poverty line of their nation, and shall only be taxed to the clergy if their respective Church and Government agrees. This tax shall be collected by the UN seperately from any taxes issued by the government, however, enforcement of this tax for non payers is the responsibility of the local government.First off, just trying to repeal this resolution is a dumb idea, secondly it also attempting to replace it with new legislation which violates the rules.

ALSO proposes that the week be shortened to 5 days, however make the day 4% longer.
* Allow the year to be split in 4 quarters consisting of 100 of the new lengh days
* Allow the quarters to be split into 4 months meaning that the year contains 16 months.
* Allow each month to be split into 5 weeks meaning a 25 day month

FINALLY relises that the time zones would NOT have to be changed due the days not actually being increased just being returned to their normal size.

A proposal to change the speed of Earth's rotation.

Is there a part of the map he didn't hit with this one?

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

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Arachnae

Description: Will make death penalty compulsory ONLY with DNA evidence of a crime for any rapist, pedophile, or murder in the first or second degree. A jury of LAW EDUCATED individuals will sit to decide in cases of third degree and they will be presided over by a Judge who will be appointed by the country. Will repeal any earlier death penalty resolutions making it absolutely compulsory to put away criminals. Also I'd like to add that it would dramatically lower the 95% re-occurance rate of crime and would be much more of a deterrance for rapists murders and pedophiles.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Crack Worshipers

Description: I was checking the message board in my region when i saw the phrase "ALL THE JEWS WILL GO TO HELL" posted a total of about 500 times. I personally am not jewish but I have learned about the holocaust in school and I fail to understand how the nazi's stil have the nerve to taunt jews after their "empire" was caved in from 2 fronts. However, I am not proposing that only Nazi to Jew racism become an international crime, I am proposing that ALL racism become an international crime.

If approved my proposal will be executed as follows...

Article I. Racial Telegrams

If a nation recives a racially inapropreite telegram, they will follow these steps...

1. Send a telegram to the sender's regional delegate telling them of the racism and tell them to exile the nation.

2. If the delegate doesn't exile the nation within 2 days, then your region would have ample cause to ivade the racist harboring region.

Article II. Racial Posts From New-Comers

If a nation joins a region simply to be racist the delegate will simply exile tthe nation.

Article III. Repeat Offenders

The second time a nation violates the racism laws, their IP adress will be logged.

The third time a nation violates the racism laws, they will be baned from the game.
Or the offender could simply be reported to the mods.:rolleyes:

ROTFLMAOPIMP!

Notice the proposer... isn't that the same nation who did "National Systems of Tax"? I have the feeling both of these are part of a plot to prove someone can pass then repeal at will.

Needless to say, I'll vote for it.
Hey, hey. Let's not give him the satisfaction. I'd say ignore his repeal and/or have it deleted. Yes, this needs to be repealed, but for the ORIGINAL PROPOSER to do it is plain bull.

Repeal "Definition of Marriage"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #81
Proposed by: Christian Wales

Description: UN Resolution #81: Definition of Marriage (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: How can we let this law stay in effect? The other day i was sitting in a cafe in my country's capital and there at the next table were two men kissing while wearing wedding bands.

Great story. Don't care.

Its ridiculous for this to go on! Think about what our Lord God said in the beginning! "a marriage is binding of a man and woman" not man and aniaml or man and man or even woman and woman.

say it with me SPELL CHECK!!!

Also think about if a gay couple adopts what would be a normal child. They would show the child that their is nothing wrong with the fondling of the sam sex in public!

Sam sex? God, I'll BUY you a dictionary. And its "there" not "their"

If we let this stay we could be raising child molesters!

So gay people are child molesters?

Is that what you want for your children? Did you know that 97% of STD's were started with same sex couples practicing their sexuallity!

NS is a reality land with talking dolphin citizens. No real life references

That proves that it's just not natural! Plus do you want more of those diseases out there? If this continues we will throw the next generation into a world of confusion and emotional distress!

With people like Christian Wales writing proposals, I'm more fearful of what's happening now.

We must stop same sex marriage now! Just think of the children!

Think of the children? I'm thinking about the education system we are growing up with after reading through that resolution. The sad thing is there are worse out there.

Approvals: 9 (Christian Wales, NeoAsiaEuropa, Iznogoud, Flibbleites, NewTexas, Dorkium, Tactical PIE, Leo I, Dorksonia)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 140 more approvals)

Love how the first person to approve this proposal was Christian Wales. Coincidence? I think not!

Alright, I'm going to step a little outside tradition....

Day Off
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Leffler Idols
Description: All businesses must give their employees at least one day off a week. This should preferably be the Religous Holy day of the Employee's choice, but may be any day if the person does not observe a religion. This right may not be denied except in the most extreme of circumstances, and if it is denied the person must get two days off the next week.

I actually like this one, and think it should have gotten more support - particularly as it is a wonderful compromise between the religious and the atheists.

Well, enough breaking with tradition, all with the nutfactory....

From the "Let's make stuff up to support our proposal!" group...
