Repeal "The IRCO"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #29

Proposed by: Maxitaste

Description: UN Resolution #29: The IRCO (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: While the IRCO is a very worthwhile organisation it gives no consideration to aiding countries outside of the UN.

Therefore resolution #29 should be repealed and a new resolution put in place to instruct the IRCO to give aid to non UN countries.

Ensuring equality of humanitarian aid throughout the globe.

Anti-Emo Music Act

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

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Squizzles

Description: It is morally wrong to allow emo music to continue making it's way into the youth of today. With the Anti-Emo Music Act, emo music will be stopped dead in it's tracks. This will prohibate the selling, buying, and owning of any emo music compact discs. It's bad enough these whiny sellouts have to make the music, why should we allow the innocent youth of the world to go on believing emo music is good? Finally, I can walk the streets without getting a pain in my head from that horrible "music".

1. Reduction of fossil fuels by giving cash awards to countries who develop or operate alternative powered vehicles. Thunder Comets National Bank will provide nations $500 Million loan with 0% APR for 5 years, plus a $500,000 bonus after 5 years. Reducing fossil fuels will help the environment to be free from pollution at any given time.

2. United States of Thunder Comets House of Representative will give cash awards of $100,000 for nations that develops and operates solar and wind power facilities. Thunder Comets National Bank will also provide a grant of $1.6 Billion to each nations that produces solar energny, and as for wind power facilities, United States of Thunder Comets Energy Department will provide $800,000 grant and $1.5 Million loan with 0% APR for 10 years.

3. United States of Thunder Comets urges nations to expand the organic foods. Organic food that is being grown here at United States of Thunder Comets is one of the healthiest organic food that has to offer. With that, United States of Thunder Comets will help nations to establish organic garden industry with $1.5 Billion grant from United States of Thunder Comets Agriculture Department.

Thunder Comet National Bank will start by donating 100 Million dollars and allowing all donations to buy chunks of rain forest that will be perfectly saved.

5. Thunder Comets bank will give out loans of $900,000 to UN countries so that factories can clean and disposed water.

With this clean water that is being disposed by the water treatment facilities, everyone can drink water safely, including endangered species.

United States of Thunder Comets have grants that enables us to do this. This program is allowed because of the hard work of Thunder Comets citizens and corporations who have donated their hard earned time and money to help fund grants and maintain the protection of the environment.

Category: Free Trade

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Tiladius

Description: Long have many nations been afflicted with the encumbrance of outsourcing. However, if we, as a whole, tax all international commerce substantially our economies will indisputably flourish.

I. The taxation of outsourcing businesses rate will be increased by 50%.
• By internationally increasing tax rates on all of our interstate big business we will see a wide spread change of pace in big business. In addition if big business continues to operate under the increased tax, our nation will still benefit economically due to the big business. With the surplus of tax revenue, our nations will be able to invest this money into our economy; the circumstances are, in a sense, a win-win situation for our nations.

Thus Concluding, the taxation of intra-nation commerce shall be considerably less; large corporations will have no choice but to muster their own nation’s resources. If this is past our nations will not only see new jobs, but more money for their own nation instead of another. Anyone care to explain how imposing taxes is free trade?

Category: Environmental

Proposed by: Krstonia

Description: I prepose that hybrid cars shold be the only cars on the road. Therefore, the environment will be saved.
The cars shall be cheaper to afford.

Yes, yes, I realise what the proposer means, but I can't help thinking of bird/car, or perhaps rhino/car hybrids when reading this. Please be specific when using a general term like 'hybrid'.

Also, how will the environment be instantly saved?

But we know that the final line must happen, after all, the proposer used 'shall', not 'will'.

End Quote(duh):)

There is really no need to ban emo-music and do you know why?....Well, let me tell you: Because the ONLY reason that youth are listening to it is because their lazy, good for nothing parents don't care what their kids do and don't teach them any morals to begin with, or even pay attention to them for that matter, so instead of banning emo-music make an act that bans parents from being lazy, good for nothings who don't give a rats butt what their kids do, learn, or know as long as they're breathing!! However, not that it isn't a good idea, you shouldn't make either act if for only two reasons: 1)neither of these are practical and take away or impose on the rights of people, and 2)the solution to both these problems would be to teach our children morals and to monitor what they do(Ex:who they hang out with, if they or their friends drink, etc.,etc.) and actually RAISE, a very loosely used term nowadays, our children, take an active role in their lives and turn them into decent people.:headbang:

P.S.= Where do I find a list of all of the UN resolutions?(I feel an itch to try and repeal as many of the unnecessary,waste of resources and time resolutions as I can-especially after seeing some of the ones that are being suggested in this forum; the thought of them being passed,however unlikely, sends chills down my spine.

Seriouly. Not to mention the fact that they can already consume and carry weapons,not 'weapones'-where did they learn to spell, all they have to do is get a gun liscense like everyone else. And the abusing part is ridiculous, because, this may come as a shock:eek: -to the suggestor of this resolution,they can call the police any time they want and the abuser will be locked away and the woman will never have to see them again.The End:D(Now, if we get into the reasons for why they don't call the police or won't admit to being abused, that's when we start getting knee deep in psycho babble, which I don't think anyone wants.-at least not here anyway.)

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

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: The Raptorian Power

Description: In order to bring peace to the world, a peace that has never been seen before, we must put aside our religious beliefs. History is littered with pointless bloodshed of our fellow man due to differing religions. One side beleives they are doing their God's will, but the opposite side beleives the exact same thing.
Just because we have taken the church out of the state does not make this problem go away. We must do away with all religion in order to finally achieve real peace. Two leaders, in different nations and with different religious backgrounds would never make a peace that would last because on some issues they would see two different ways about it. We must outlaw religion, however painful it is, in order to achieve ultimate peace that would last.
The best peace, such as between the USA and England, are because they share a common religion, but this would not be possible throughout the rest of the world. We cannot force the rest of the world to our religion, how could we ask others to give up their beleif to take up ours while we change nothing. We must all shed off our religious garments in order to become equal. Are we not human first? What is more real, our flesh and bone or some higher diety that might exist in our hopes? Should we live for ourselves and know for sure that we will prosper, or should we live by blind faith and hope that it will work out in the end. The only way for true peace to be attained is if we are all equal in every aspect. It is only necassary to make the next step in our equality, first racial equality was attained for the most part, then gender equality was attained for the most part, then age equality was attained for the most part, so in order to obtain the best form of religious equality, we must all have either the same religion or no religion. And since we cannot make anybody change their religion to ours, we must get rid of all religion.

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

Description: Description: A proposal to send people on a life-long mission into the furthest reaches of space to save a seed of mankind from the inevitability of the collapse of society and the depletion of natural non-renewable resources.

We, the peoples of this planet called Earth and members of the United Nations who have sworn to uphold the rights and freedoms of each and every sovereign nation whether included in the United Nations or not.

RECOGNIZE that the earth contains limited resources to further the development and evolution of the species Homo Sapiens Sapiens. This is common knowledge and indisputable.

ACKNOWLEDGE the inevitable, inarguable and eventual inhabitability of the planet for human habitation and wellbeing due to any of the following:
(a) strife
(b) meteoric calamity
(c) exhaustion of non-renewable resources necessary to maintain life
(d) viral depopulation
(e) mass-extinction on a global scale

PROPOSE this, the Noah's Hyperspace Ark Resolution. Which is to be comprised of Ten (10) Intergalactic Spacecraft to go out and seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before, to colonize and expand the domain of the human race peaceably and without conflict where possible.

1.2 who will live the rest of their natural lives aboard this space-craft
1.3 breeding and continuing the human species
1.4 all equally committed to saving humanity from itself and eventual extinction

2.0 FINANCIALS:
The Noah's Hyperspace Ark(s) will be funded through a mandatory levy of a percentage of each member nation's GDP, and through profit sharing from the advanced technologies and scientific advancements these spacecraft will make possible.

2.1 Each member nation will contribute 0.05% of their GDP towards these goals
2.2 Profitsharing will be on a representative basis. i.e.; the gross costs will be divided on a GDP percentage basis

3.0 TIMELINES:
These timelines may be ammended in the future due to new scientific discoveries.

3.1 Phase 1 : each member nation to have a 3 year phase-in for the financial considerations of this undertaking.
3.2 Phase 2 : construction is to begin by the year 2010
3.3 Phase 3 : unmanned near deep-space test runs by 2015
3.4 Phase 5 : first mission underway by 2025

4.0 GOALS :
4.1 Survival of the species
4.2 Exploration
4.3 Trade
================================================== ===

IN SUMMATION if you care about our very survival, please vote YES for this proposal to become a resolution, and for the resolution to pass.

Sincerely,

If there is not a 4/5 margin of decision, then no money or training shall be commited, but only peacekeepers.

If you are trying to get a proposal through I think you should try to reduce the number of religious references. The problem with proposing the usering in of our Unholy Lord is that it isn't all that objective. All of the resolutions I have read have had content that can be applied to the real world. You really need content that has more of a solid, understandable base.

Don't get me wrong, I think the whole abolishing religion idea is a good one, (though religion actually causes as much evil as it does good, if not more) but putting references to the coming of Satan and other such things will not help your chances of getting it made into a resolution.

Taken from an RMB.

Not a silly proposal, but some words, in fact, on not submitting silly proposals, in response to someone who'd had theirs deleted. I especially love 'the problem with proposing the ushering in of our Unholy Lord is that it isn't all that objective' and 'putting references to the coming of Satan...will not help your chances'. Sound advice.

PROPOSES to pay for the Clean Energy Act as follows:
35% will be obtained by instituting a tax of varying degree (no more than 15%) in all U.N. member nations on all non-nuclear sources of energy which are not defined as clean by the Clean Energy Act or any future amendment.
35% will be obtained by instituting a tax of varying degree (no more than 15%) in all U.N. member nations on all automobile companies that do not offer cars with fuel efficiency rates of at least 35 MPG, which this resolution notes is not outside of technological capability.
25% will be obtained by instituting a tax of varying degree (no more than 15%) in all U.N. member nations on all nuclear power facilities.
2.5% will be paid for by the government implementing the Clean Energy Act, which will obtain the appropriate funding by a method of their choice.
2.5% will be obtained from international charities.

If there are insufficient funds to provide at least 25% energy from these clean sources, then the highest percentage of energy possible to be acquired from these sources should be obtained. The only exception is in the following proposition:

FURTHER PROPOSES that no nation of a U.N. economic category above "Thriving" will not receive economic benefits from international charities. This is due to the necessarily limited funds in these categories and due to the continued economic success of the nation despite a slight increase in governmental spending (if necessary).

FURTHER PROPOSES that any subsequent resolution may add to the list of clean sources of energy as technology progresses and function as an amendment in this manner.

ENCOURAGES governments to utilize a lesser quantity of fossil fuels than is mandated by this resolution in production of energy.
This is illegal on so many different levels, and besides I'm pretty sure we've already had a few resolutions that do better and more legal jobs on banning the same things.

Guns resovled
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Tighten

Proposed by: Col Peter Robinson

Description: I think that we need to let people carry guns but under some rules-

1) That the people carring the guns must have a permit ( which they already need to carry a firearm in the first place)

2) That the govenment must do a background check on the person applying for a gun.

3)That just like different classes on tthe driver licence people need to be trained in different classes EX- Class A would be the top of the line gun like machine and othr higly damage causeing weapons ( this class only avalible to the army) Class B less lower dangerous weapons like semi autos Class C would be rifles and shot guns and lastly class D would be handguns

4) The gun pemits should look just like a driver's licence but it will say "GUN PERMIT" at the top of the card and will contain all the information about the person just like a driver's licence

5) i think that this will help to solve the problem of gun control

).) PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE U CHOOSE IT

"PChatspeak in a UN proposal, not to mention the confusion #3 will cause, gets this proposal into the thread.

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing

Proposed by: Goblinites

Description: FOR: we could use electric cars instead of cars that need any poluting gas. Cars will soon cause global warming which will wipe out our entire population.

AGAINST: Electric cars will get us nowhere, sure, we'll die early, but atleast we can drive far away to enjoy our last few years, instead of sitting in a car, going at a top speed of 50mph.

FOR: wouldn't you prefer to live? This poluting has to stop! we will cause many of us to die at a young age, we can not let this happen, elctric cars may be slower but they make all the difference, all gas stations should go, all gas cars should go, and anyone who disagrees can have a nice time walking. NO MOR GAS CARS!!!

AGAINST: Electricity is used to much these days, anyway, how do you know that it is gas causing global warming, isn't it only a theory, you may think that the high percentage of it happening is true, think of the other part, gas cars give you speed, speed gives you life, enjoy it! help the speed not the environment!

Recognising: that the ER governmental society is know widely considered to be the best in the world by the vast majority of the population and that many feel more loyalty to the eurasian cause than there own country.

Emphasising: That the Eurasian Republics people want only to enable people in other nations with the choice as to whether to become eurasians themselves.

Stressing: That the eurasian people recognise other national identity but also that the vast federation of states has only brought thus far peace and prosperity and democracy to its members.

Realising: that many powerful far right or left regions commit attrocities all over the world against those that state support for the republic but also that the vast and well trained ER army can offer military and peace keeping support in many situations.WTF?

Any Draftee Can Have A Draft
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Commie Sharefest

Description: The Free Land of Commie Sharefest has appeared before the UN Council to underscore a blatant injustice in determining the political rights of citizens.

NOTICING that many countries have typically set the minimum age at which a government may draft a citizen for military duty to be lower than the minimum age for which a citizen is granted the right to imbibe alcoholic substances, and

RECOGNIZING that even though a right to regulated narcotics is not absolute, in many of the member states, it is still a right to be enjoyed by a responsible populace, and

ASSERTING that any citizen that is eligible to be drafted by its government for military duty must, by definition, be considered a 'responsible' citizen, as it is the government itself that has entrusted the security of its nation in the hands of such a citizen, and

IDENTIFYING the startlingly hypocritical contradiction created by these two policies, while

REMINDING any government concerned about the social harms of legal narcotics to young adults that even though a citizen may have a right to use narcotics, it can still restrict, regulate, or discourage businesses from selling it to him,

WE DECLARE that all member nations which offer any of its citizens the right to imbibe/injest/inhale/inject any legalized narcotic must also extend that right to any citizen of said nation who has been identified as eligible for becoming drafted into military duty.

Why? Who cares?

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Britannikka

Description: In a world of terrorism, threats, and possible world war, The Empire of Britannikka proposes the creation of a global law-enforcement agency, called Global Security. Such an organization will simplify the complications and obstacles posed by national sovereignty in global extradition.
The following would list and describe the structure and function of the proposal.

I. The Organization:
1.) Global Security will be a law-enforcement organization with a pool of international operatives, drawn from volunteer countries and of the highest caliber and degree of expertise in their field.

2.) GS will maintain communications posts, containment facilities, transport & supply depots, and command centers in areas around the world in many countries (of course, with the nation's consent)

3.) GS will maintain & purchase necessary equipment, vehicles, and weapons through the United Nations.

4.) GS will hire a staff of law-enforcement officials, military officers, and experts in various fields (scientists, engineers). Consultants in various nations and states may occasionally be used.

5.) GS will consist of four branches: Counterterrorism, Intelligence, Rescue-Operations, & International Justice.

a. Counterterrorism will be the response/field-operations group. They will be authorized to use necessary force in the event of terrorist attacks, major crimes, etc. They may be ordered in by the UN or GS. The CT branch's services may also be requested by nation-states when appropriate.

b. Intelligence will be concerned with the tracking and monitoring of suspected criminals/terrorists as well as the detection of suspicious activity perpetrated by nations/terrorist groups. It will be equipped with satellite communications, computer networks, etc. Intelligence may request the services of communications corporations and governments in order to continue investigation.

c. Rescue-Operations will send response & medical teams to aid victims in times of international natural/man-caused disasters. It will work in cooperation with relief efforts.

d. International Justice will deal with the containment and transportation of prisoners, criminals, and terrorists. Criminals may be tried at an international court or, if the UN permits, extradited to the victimized nations or countries of origin.

II. Field Operations

1.) Global Security agents will cooperate with national and state law-enforcement officials in field operations unless it is absolutely imperative that GS operates in complete secrecy for fear of a security threat/breach.

III. Finance, Human Resources, & Funding

1.) GS, in actuality, is a union/confederation of police forces and military organizations from around the world in an attempt to eliminate bureaucracy, state rivalry, and possible violations of state sovereignty.

2.) Along with GS, the United Nations will also create an International Counterterrorism Fund in order to accumulate necessary finances for nation-state police and military forces in times of need.

3.) GS will not and shall never state sovereignty (unless authorized by the UN and that the state in concern is a rogue nation or one condemned by the international community).

The Empire of Britannikka strongly urges the UN to pass this resolution in hopes that it will strenghten international unity and security.Illegal, branding and attempts to create a UN police force.

Violent Video Games, although legal, may lead to the psychological damage of children. Recent studies have shown that violent video games increase the individual's tendency to be far more agressive and harmful. Scientists recently tested young children, and they found compelling evidence showing that violent video games can cause an individual to think as a criminal.
Hence, these should be banned.

1. Definition of "Violent"

C. Profanity
B. Sexual intercourse
C. Prostitution
D. Weapons
i. Any Guns
ii. Knives
iii. Bombs(mines, dentonators, etc.)

ii. Low Skirts
iii. Absence of Clothing
G. Nudity
H. Showing of Affection
i. Kissing
ii. Hugging
I. Sexual Harrassment
J. Obscene Gestures
K. Gambling
They Will Be Banned

2. Failure to Comply
A. First Offence will lead to a fine equal to 2% of
your/parent of minor's annual salary
B. Second Offence will lead to a fine of 15% and/or time
in jail for up to 6 months
C. Third Offence will lead to a fine of 35% and jail time
up to 10 years
D. Fourth Offence will lead to life in jail or death

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

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Meloche

Description:
UNDERSTANDING that sex on television leads to sexual deviation.

REALIZING that our youth today are sexually deviated.

FINDING the causal relationship between these two...

AKNOWLEDGES that the cause of the sexual deviation of our youth is sex on television.

THEREFORE WE THE UNITED NATIONS HEREBY DECLARE:

- All UN nations will enforce STRICT anti-nudity laws on television.

- All UN nations will ban pornography on television at any time of the day or night.

- All UN nations will put warnings on any television shows that may show women in: bathing suits, tank tops, short shorts or skirts or pigtails.

- All UN nations will ban any mention of the following words on television: Orgasm, intercourse, penis, vagina, etc... Each nation will vary in this regard because of local slang.

Pigtails?
And what the hell is this about the youth of today being sexually deviant?

*Cobdenian delegates starts to make love to an inflatable gandalf*

Why do third world people have to suffer? Why don’t they get any fast food or Soft drinks?
Why do more people die in 3rd world countries than in 1st and 2nd world countries?

These are just a few questions that people in 3rd world countries ask themselves. While in other parts of the world people become obese because they EAT TOO MUCH, people in 3rd world countries die because they DON’T EAT ENOUGH.

Aren’t we all human beings? Millions of people are treated unfairly compared to others, and we call ourselves humans? How come?

We all have to change something!!!

UTWST = United Third World Support Treaty

Here are a few points that could help those 3rd world countries:
1. Economically well developed countries should be encouraged to donate money and food packets
2. More missionaries should be sent to 3rd world areas/ countries to help developing a financially and politically stable country
3. Rebels and terrorist groups should be outlawed during the first 10 years of this treaty
4. 3 % of every UN nation’s yearly military spending goes to UTWST, this way if we have to kill each other, at least we help too.
5. A country has the right to reject the UTWST’s support, but if it changes its decision, it can only apply for the support under a different country leader.

I hope you will all let this get through your mind and finally understand my concern. If you do, please approve this proposal. If you don’t, I don’t want to imagine what kind of human you are.

Thank you all

Category: Political Stability

Proposed by: Evil Genuis-s

Description: Noting that cases have been made about baning people form regions. And that these are people who have been kicked out for reasons known sometimes only to those who kicked them out.

Noting also that most people who are kicked out of a region are kicked out by the creator of the region.

Deriving that to stop this, power to boot people should be derived solely in the office of the endorsed UN Delegate, on the understanding that such power can be curbed by those who endorse said person.

Finding that such power if misused can put them out of a job, if other nations in region are opposed to its outcome.

Recent studies have shown that violent video games increase the individual's tendency to be far more agressive and harmful. Scientists recently tested young children, and they found compelling evidence showing that violent video games can cause an individual to think as a criminal.

Just because they can THINK like a criminal doesn't mean they act like one. Haven't you ever heard of police investigating talking about trying to think like the criminal. We're raising a bunch of kids that will be able to out-think the criminals that exist on the streets!

Hence, these should be banned.

1. Definition of "Violent"

That takes the cake

If any video games contain:
C. Profanity

Because the alphabet starts at C. And how stringent should this profanity limitation be?

B. Sexual intercourse

This one I can agree to, but considering the argument was about kids, and San Andreas is specifically rated as "Adult Only", then I think it is irrelevant to this resolution. Add on that I don't think Sexual Intercourse counts as being "violent". Inappropriate, sure, but violent, no. (There are some good arguments about violence regarding profanity)

C. Prostitution

Whatever. Again, not violent.

D. Weapons
i. Any Guns
ii. Knives
iii. Bombs(mines, dentonators, etc.)

Hmm, just removed everything but "sports" and board games

E. Fighting

And there goes the sports games and most of the board games

F. Inappropriate Clothing
i. Showing of undergarments(boxers, thongs,bakinis)
ii. Low Skirts
iii. Absence of Clothing

Because that, of course, is violent.

G. Nudity

Wouldn't "Absence of Clothing" count as "Nudity"?

H. Showing of Affection

*blinks* WTF? So in other words, we can now throw out games because a man and a woman "obviously" like each other in the game? Should we ban every single chic flick while we're at it. Hold on, that might not be a bad thing.....:p

And it's violent?

i. Kissing
ii. Hugging

So two friends can't give a greeting hug as a sign of welcome like they do in real life? Sheesh.

I. Sexual Harrassment

....I don't have a good criticism of this one

J. Obscene Gestures

Whatever.

K. Gambling

Yes, that's nice and violent.

They Will Be Banned

I believe you were giving a definition, not an indication of action. You already said they should be banned waaaaaay up there, before you even started your definition

2. Failure to Comply
A. First Offence will lead to a fine equal to 2% of
your/parent of minor's annual salary

So, adults can't play these games.

B. Second Offence will lead to a fine of 15% and/or time
in jail for up to 6 months
C. Third Offence will lead to a fine of 35% and jail time
up to 10 years
D. Fourth Offence will lead to life in jail or death
penalty

Because the death penalty which consists of a death in REAL LIFE is less violent than any of those games where they just beat each other up - or kill a FAKE PERSON.

3. Quarterly Searches
A. U.N. officials will search houses (without permits)
once every three months on any day including major
holidays.

And of course, a violation of I believe resolution 12. Not to mention, if we don't have to increase police budgets to implement this method so we can reduce crime.........how are we funding the police that do these searches. Additionally, there are no UN officials with that power.

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: The Celtatian Fields

Description: A call to revolution against the Bourgeoisie.

To long have the workers of the world been hemmed in by the outstretched arms of the capitalists. Their boots keep an honest face smothered in the ground day by day.

The Repubic of Eurasia (region) calls for all of you with a stout heart and an honest intention to join us in the fight against the enemies of social justice.

Our army is small but one thing keeps us going. The knowledge that the proletariats are the largest army in the world though scattered, divided, leaderless.

We believe in, freedom of speech, no class boundaries and a true representation of our peoples views. I call upon all regions to allow a regional referendum on whether to merge with the republic or not.

All communist regions must join together to form one great alliance within the eurasian republic.

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Habardia

Description: This proposal, when enacted, will provide a set of guidelines for individual countries to follow in regards to moral standards. Deviancies shall be classified into one of three categories: indecency, immorality & abomination. THe punishments shall be in accordance to the deed. Thus an indecency will result in a fine; an immorality shal be punished by incarceration; and an abomination shall have as its result either corporal punishment, mutilation, exile or execution, in accordance to the crime. Each state shall decide the level of punishment for each respecting crime, but the categories shall be enacted in all nations. As for what constitutes an abomination, it shall be defined as that which goes against the nature of Man, such as slaying of a parent or elderly person, sexual abuse of a child under twelve, or sexual misbehaviours such as sodomy and bestiality. These crimes shall be punished by one of the four types of correctionary procedures described above, the enactment of which shall be made public in order to deter possible deviants. Also noted must be the intent of this proposition, not of bringing back a world of executions and floggings, but of enabling states to use these methods, in as small a frequency as possible, to restore moral decency to the World.I believe this contradicts at least one resolution, probably more.

UN Military Act

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Slygoin

Description: Rather than nations being able to build super armies the UN should have its own army to protect under threat nations.

This will be done by all nations having to lower the amount of military spending until eventually all nations are spending the same amount.

This will allow the UN to have the strongest army on the planet thus if a nation feels under threat the UN can step in with their army and try to negogiate with the attacking nation. If this fails to work the UN will be able to stop all military funding to that nation for a period of time.

This will help the smaller nation who wouldn't usually be able to defend themselves against the larger nations.

Summary:

1) The UN will now have its own army.

2) All nations will have similar military spending.

3) The UN will be able to step in and suspend any nation's military spending for a period of time if it sees fit because they are threatening another nation.

Domicile Sovereignty
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Freelanderlundia

Description: Description: The UN hereby acknowledges individuals personal sovereignty and extends those rights to the home in regards to those crimes that are classified as non-violent.

A. Member countries authority to enforce a crime or possible crime from the fallowing list will end at the threshold of their citizens’ homes.

1. Manufacture, possession and use of alcohol.
2. Possession and use of illegal drugs.
3. Possession and use of contraband literature, art, music and films, including those deemed subversive or pornographic.
4. Practice of banned religions, or choosing not to practice a compulsory state religion.
5. Prostitution.
6. Games of chance.
7. Underage drinking
8. Possession of or eating of meat.
9. Cultivation, possession or use of tobacco.
10. Possession or use of boot-leg copies of copy righted materials.

B. This proposal specifically does not cover

1. Child pornography.
2. Possession of an illegal firearm or illegal possession of a legal firearm.
3. Holding another person against their will.

I am pretty sure that A5 is already covered, as is A4, that A10 is probably illegal based on the UPCL, that there are a whole load of areas not detailed in either section (sexual freedom for one) and that if the proposal has to mention specifically what is not covered, a lot of nations will read it that everything else is protected, including under-age sex, distribution of drugs and alcholol and sellings guns (to name but a few).

I like the idea of privacy in one's home, but I am not sure this is the best way to go about it (even discounting the potentially illegal nature of it due to A4/A5/A10)

Animal Rights for 3 Species
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Aurto

Description: Description: A resolution to allow for limited civil rights for the animals; the dog, the cat and the dolphin.

WHEREAS Dogs, Cats and Dolphins have no civil rights and are viewed as something akin to property or akin to food et al,

WE PROPOSE that dogs, cats and dolphins be granted a special status of having limited civil rights.

ALLOWING dogs, cat and dolphins to have such limited civil rights would entail the following rights per species..

THE DOLPHIN would be allowed to freely roam the world's seas and all attempts to harm them must would be made illegal.
FURTHERMORE, the dolphin would be allowed to go wherever it wanted to go without interference by humans in any way whatsoever unless the animal appears injured, in which case attempts may be made to help the animal back to health and to its natural environment.
CAPTIVITY of dolphins and research on them would be banned unless deemed in the best interest of the health of the dolphin.

THE DOG would have the right to go outside and be walked by its owner 2 or 3 times per day depending on the more specific laws of the nation.
HOWEVER, if a fenced in area is given to the dog, it does not have to be walked as long as it is given adequate time to spend outdoors.
DOGS will have the right to be fed 1 to 2 times per day depending on the specific law of the nation. Acceptable food lists would be provided by the nation as well.
DOGS will have the right to be given affection by its liscened owner.
CRUELTY to dogs will not be tolerated nor lack of any of the limited rights listed above.
ADEQUATE SPACE must be given to each dog for indoor life depending on the size of the dog as per guidelines by the individual nation.
STRAY DOGS will be kept alive and in good order by each nation with public funds. No Dog that is not deemed "level 4 illness" will be allowed to be euthanized.

THE CAT will have the right to be provided a litter pan by any owner. All Cats must have access to a litter pan.

CATS will not be allowed to be let outside unsupervised unless it is in a predator/hazard free region as determined by each individual nation.

SLEEPING QUARTERS will be provided to the cat inside the owner's house or apartment every evening at the minimum if allowed to be let outside unsupervised.

CATS will have the right to be given affection by its liscened owner.
CRUELTY to cats will not be tolerated nor lack of any of the limited rights listed above.

STRAY CATS will be kept alive and in good order by each nation with public funds. No Cat that is not deemed "level 4 illness" will be allowed to be euthanized.

HUMAN OWNERS or the GOVERNMENT in the name of a said dolphin, cat or dog can sue any human being if that human being violates any of the above laws.

HUMAN BEINGS will no longer have the freedom to abuse, maltreat, ignore or bother these 3 animal species.:eek:

The banning o Umbrella's

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Hoopeyism

Description: The banning of Umbrella’s

Umbrella’s should without doubt be banned from modern society as they are hazardous to everyone’s health and have no particular use among those of the sane and worthy to be called respectable human being’s.
Reason’s for this are as follows:
• Three people everyday nearly die from umbrella related incidents even when it’s not raining.
• The demographic of people who use umbrella’s is that of either the ridiculously old woman (also known as the “coffin dodger”) who bear’s no care for the preservation of young human life and after wrenching your eyeball from it’s socket by means of the evil wiry umbrella thing, call you a hooligan and proceed to tell you to “watch where you are going” even though you only have one eye. The other type umbrella fiend’s are that of the “yuppie college triner’s business suit” community who wear scarves, long overcoat’s and carry and issue of the independent under there arm whilst walking to the nearest café bar with their “chum’s” to discuss how great thy are in their d4 accent’s.
• These are evil people who’s weapon’s are umbrella’s and so we should take them away from them so they have no mean’s to maim innocent pedestrian’s whilst trying to navigate a city street.
• Three people seriously nearly die everyday by umbrella crime. It’s a fact. I’m one of them.
• Either don’t go out in the rain or just don’t mind the fact that your hair might get wet it’s that simple and no one care’s if you got wet anyway.
• After extensive research it was found that the umbrella was created or “spawned” in Satan’s rectum.
• They look ridiculous.
• It’ll make the world a better place.

Category: Social Justice

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Squizzles

Description: Why is it a person needs to pass a test to graduate High School, or to obtain a driving license, while something so valuable as life is giving to any two people with an idea in their head? To often have I seen a father or mother treating their child/children in such a way that would make a normal human blush. Here is my proposal:

I suggest we create a law that makes it so in order for two people to create a child, they must pass both a intellectual test, and a social welfare test. If, for some reason the two people fail either one of these tests, they will not be allowed the privalige of procreating. I understand that many people may think of this proposal as a violation of basic human rights, but I beleive it is a necessary step towards making this world a better place for everyone to live in. Let's look at the good it could do:

1.This would help stop the increasing number of teenage pregnancy, something that troubles all countries of the world.
2.This would help prevent numerous chidren from being born into a household that cannot support any more people, so it will be stopping poverty in young families.
3. It will create an incentive for young families to do something more with their lives than work fastfood. There are more than enough teens to work those jobs.

Now, it isn't like an IQ test, where if you fail once, you're through. If a person fails, they then have 6 months to improve both themselves and the way they live life, the way they treat other human beings. I'm hoping that this proposal will succeed in the UN voting, and the world will be a better place because of it. First off, I believe that this would be better off if it were filed under the Moral Decency category. Secondly, how is this going to actually prevent people from having children?

We could be dealing a profit of over ten thousand dollars
But what should we feed the cats?
We will start a rat ranch next door with a million rats
The rats will be twelve times faster than the cats
So we can have more rats to feed each day for each cat
But what should we feed the rats?

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Xian Xsang

Description: UNDERSTANDING that a great majority of the worlds population is tourtured by starvation, poverty, and homelessness. Not to mention the state of the worlds poluted water.

NOTING that everyone should have the right to live a comfortable, nutricious and healthy lifestyle.

The proposal is as follows:

1) Everyone has access to clean, uncontaminated, running water, as well as showers, soap, Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, and other hygiene utinsils.

2) Everyone has access to housing that fits the need of the family who in which is living in the shelter.

3) Everyone is gauranteed three healthy meals a day that contains no preservatives or addictive materials that is delivered directly to ones house. The amount of food given to each family will be determined by the family size.

4) Everybody is entitled to a free education which is mandatory from age 4 to 18. Post public school will be private and therefore not free.

5) In order to have luxuries one must work to make money. Pay wages are determined by the amount of experience that one has and how well they do the job. In other words, pay wages may vary and is at the managers discretion.

6) If one wants a bigger house than is provided, one must pay for it. Land is owned by the government until a citizen buys it for a reasonable price. All land that is sold by a private owner is purchased by the government for the same price that the government sold it for and is sold back to a citizen for the same price. If land value changes over the years, the government will provide an equivalent sum for the worth of the land. Let's see, first off clause 1 is partially covered under resolution #9 Keep The World Disease-Free!, clause 4 is covered under resolution #28 Free Education. And the rest is just a dumb idea.

FURTHER RECOGNIZING that a subset of Group One includes nations that strictly limit the civil rights of their citizens (Group Two).

FURTHER RECOGNIZING that a subset of Group Two includes nations whose economic policies result in abject poverty for the vast majority of citizens (Group Three).

DEFINING Group Three nations as those nations whose UN rating falls at or below the following levels:

Civil Rights: Rare
Economy: Fragile
Political Freedoms: Outlawed

NOTING that these countries are a major source of poverty, hunger, genocide, and terrorism.

PROPOSING that governments in these countries should be toppled through direct military intervention and replaced with democratic institutions.

FURTHER PROPOSING that the Democratic Republic of Shamm conduct all military operations in all target countries associated with this effort, as well as assume the entire financial cost and political accountability.

DECLARING that the Democratic Republic of Shamm will act in accord with all international laws governing the conduct of war and will allow international human rights organizations to fully observe and monitor that conduct.

FURTHER DECLARING that each nation-building exercise will be executed one nation at a time.

FURTHER DECLARING that this effort will, over the course of time, improve the economic and human rights situations of hundreds of millions of people worldwide and grant them the freedom to form their own government.

The Jingoistic States of Militant anti-Jingoism proposes that we apply the wonderful notions of free trade and globalisation to pizza delivery. If we remove, on global scale, all tarrifs, import duties and cross-border delays for international pizza supply chains the effect will only be beneficial. This will open up investment from bigger, richer countries into smaller, more culinary-inclined countries, and the richer countries will have access to a plethora and cornucopia of pizza selection.I don't know what to say about this one.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy

Proposed by: Wilkinia

Description: i propose that there be a single constitution that all nations must use as guidelines for addressing issues. below is my proposed constitution:

The Constitution of Common Law
1. No murder
2. No theft
3. No man is above the law
4. Every man has the right to a fair trial in front of a jury of bribed peers.
5. No work on Sunday.
6. Respect the family
7. Adultery is OK if justified.
8. Don’t bear false witness, the government will know
9. Do not covet
10. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax
11. rebels/traitors will be executed and have assets siezed
12. Centralization/nationalisation of public services
13. equal obligation of all to work except disabled persons.
14. Free education and healthcare for all.
15. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
16. The finance minister shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises
17. The government must regulate trade with other regions so that it will benefit all nations within it.

18. the government must promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

19. armed forces should exist in each region for security purposes
20. free press/ right to protest. Should exist.

21. all citizens must hold allegiance to the state above all.

failure to comply would result in sanctions.Let's see, 10 violates Representation in Taxation, 14 has been done, 20 has been done, other than than it's just a silly idea.

Oooh! Ooh! I wan't to pull this one to shreds!

1. No murder
Is abortion murder? Or Euthanasia? If so, contradicts previous UN legislation

2. No theft
Many people consider Taxes theft; and what about true communist nations that have no possesions?

3. No man is above the law
Whose law? May be considered a possible conflict with diplomatic immunity

4. Every man has the right to a fair trial in front of a jury of bribed peers.
Bribed peers?

5. No work on Sunday.
What if you work as a priest?

6. Respect the family
Someone's been watching The Godfather too often

7. Adultery is OK if justified.
Justified? Would the fact that she was hotter than the misses and a better fuck too count as justification?

8. Don’t bear false witness, the government will know
Will it?

9. Do not covet
But my neighbour has such a fine ass...

10. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax
Even though a flat tax is fairer?

11. rebels/traitors will be executed and have assets siezed
Kind of goes against the concept of democracy, doesn't that

12. Centralization/nationalisation of public services
Because the government is more effeicient than the free markets, I suppose? And I'm fascinated by the inconsistancy in using the US spelling of centraliZation and the British of nationaliSation

13. equal obligation of all to work except disabled persons.
But I have a bad back...

14. Free education and healthcare for all.
Free education for 80 year olds and free healthcare for the dead would go down a real treat

15. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
What if they pass a law that contradicts the above?

16. The finance minister shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises

What about if we have a seperate Minister for Custom's and excise, or have no customs and excise duties?

17. The government must regulate trade with other regions so that it will benefit all nations within it.
Except that free trade benefits everyone, according to Cobden and Riccardo

NOTING that no specific definition has been given as to what constitutes "Scientific Freedom" as given by the authors of the resolution,

It can therefore be concluded that this resolution no longer serves a purpose at present and can hereby be repealed.Next time, try using the repeal category.

Whereas; Repeals should require more support than resolutions.

Whereas; a more sensible number for UN members supporting a Resolution would be 75 and those supporting a Repeal of a previous resolution should be 100.

Therefore, let it be resolved that the reductions in approval numbers be dropped from the current number of 127 to 75 and 100 respectfully.

I suppose that since the proposal doesn't define a "surplus of trees," that would mean that nations are free to define it however they see fit.
Exactly, which means that if my nation belieed one tree is too much (which we definitely don't) we could define one as a surplus and cut it. The whole ban woodchipping thing is ridiculous though. Even if you could define a "surplus", that only means heavily forested countries will have to provide wood for all others, making them not heavily forested very soon.

Description: In light of the new strain of Avian influenza and H5N1, both of which pose the greatest threat of becoming the cause of the worlds next imminent pandemic, it is proposed hereby that deforestation for the purpose of industry expansion decrease by 2% each year for the following five years to inhibit an increase in human-animal interaction. The aforementioned interaction poses not only an immediate threat of wide-spread illness, but may also cause draconic sickness as pathogens become increasingly immune and dangerous at the same rate in the years to come.
Huh? You want to prevent pandemics... by stopping industry development? I suppose the fact that nearly all cases have involved H5N1 spreading through intensive farming means nothing then?

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #127

Argument: The two clauses:

AFFIRMS that if the host nation revokes immunity the diplomat remains immune for prosecution by the host nation for any crime committed whilst the person had immunity

and:

AFFIRMS that, if the home nation revokes a person's diplomatic immunity, he or she may face prosecution by the host nation for a crime committed while the immunity was in effect under the host nation’s laws and judicial system

Are contradictory. The resolution, in spirit, is fine. All that is suggested is that it be re-proposed without the contradiction.
I suggest you re-read the resolution. Thoso clauses refer to two separate situations, and cannot be regarded as contradictory.

Industry Affected: Woodchipping

Proposed by: The Wandering Nomads

Description: Two species in decline are the unicorns and the dodos. This proposal is being introduced in order to save these species.

The population of the unicorn is decreasing. Most of this is due to the deforestation of the world’s vast rainforests. Deep within the rainforest is the home of the unicorn, which is why they arte rarely seen by humans. If we keep cutting down trees the unicorns will eventually have no room to live in there deep sanctions of the rainforests and end up extinct. So, help out the unicorns.

The dodos are birds that are on the verge of extinction. With the dodo's islands being hunted by people and non-domesticated animals, I believe that they will soon be brought into extinction.

First, we will address the Unicorns. We believe that there should be a limit on how many trees can be cut down and how many forests should be affected. Also, we believe that it should be illegal to hunt these endangered species.

Second, we will address the dodos. We believe that hunting dodos should be stopped until the population becomes extremely larger. After that, we believe that there should be a hunting season for two months every one or two years. Also, many predators of the dodo were brought to their islands by early explorers. We believe that an action should be taken. This action would be to take and transport these animals to their natural environments.

This proposal will in all help these animals. All that we are asking to vote to help us save these species. So, please help us by voting to accept this proposal.

Thank you,
Your Friendly Nation If they're endangered, then they're covered under the UNCoESB.

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Merdea

Description: RECOGNIZING the fall in recent rum supplies;

FURTHER RECOGNIZING the importance of rum distilleries in the global economic market;

NOTING the need of all peoples to have adequate supplies of good quality rum;

DEFINES "rum" as the appropriate and alcoholic substance that a person uses or can use as a primary source of relaxation.

HEREBY

1. ENCOURAGES the sale and/or transfer of rum and all rum products between UN nations;

2. ENCOURAGES all nations to form sugar plantations and rum distillerys;

3. REQUIRES the gradual reduction, in stages, of all anti-alcohol campaigns and increasing the average rum consumption in the everyday nutritional habits of citizens. Exception will be made for anti-alcohol campaigns which are based upon legitimate Religious, Cultural, or Medical concerns (but only in cases where alcohol is dangerous);

4. ESTABLISHES the following schedule for rum production:

Years 1 thru 5: 25% rise in first 5yr (5% per year)
Years 5 thru 10: 50% rise in next 5 yr (10% per year)
Year 11+: tbd on future events

5. EMPHASIZES that UN member nations reserve the right to employ retaliatory tariffs towards non-UN nations to prevent price dumping;

6. ESTABLISHES the United Nations Rum Commission (UNRC) to arbitrate trade disputes and pass rulings on exceptions claimed under Article 3;

7. ENCOURAGES STRONGLY the removal of all sales taxes levied on Rum;

8. CALLS UPON UN member nations to, except in cases where private entities already conduct such research, advance research into new and improved methods of rum production and distribution as a priority within their research budgets insofar as is necessary and possible given their circumstance(s).This one reminds me of the Bier Accord resolution that was tried some time back.

Wait a minute, you don't think that the UN should collect taxes but you want to repeal the resolution preventing it from directly taxing our nation's citizens.:rolleyes:

Actually he does wants taxes, just not right now (hence the hurricane story). He still misread

This one reminds me of the Bier Accord resolution that was tried some time back.

I love how it classifies every alcoholic substance as being "rum".

The last four or five "Silly Proposals" well, I see a pattern. They all have RL references (pounds as currency, middle east, kkk, jesus, etc...), they all are not well thought out, and they all are simple minded in their pointing out of a "simple solution" to a problem. Is this an example of people who just joined and just started submitting proposals? When I joined, I waited about a month to submit, and even then found out how little I knew about NS, so maybe these are just "learning" proposals. I sure hope so, because I really don't look forward to the "Aryan Proposal" (or the "Anti-Aryan Proposal" for that matter).

Rules of fluffies:

1) Fluffies are lazy. If it means they have to do more work, then they won't do it.
2) Fluffies don't read. Afterall, see 1.
3) Fluffies fear the forum. Doesn't exactly help their reading problems. Add on that it takes effort to withstand the forum - see 1
4) Fluffies don't know the rules - as learning the rules would require them to go to the forum (see 3), read the posts (see 2) and put some effort into understanding the little shapes on the page and what they mean (see 1).
5) Fluffies don't think things through. Thinking things through would require that they would have first read what had been written (see 2) and spend some time and effort (see 1) thinking about it.
6) Fluffies make up the bulk of the UN legislative process - both in terms of voting and in terms of submitting new proposals.

Hope that clears things up for you.

Choice of Rights Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Siewenna

Description: Description: The United Nations as a body working to further protect the citizens and world as a whole recognizes that each citizen is entitled to a broad array of personal rights including but not limited to the following: UN Resolutions - #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #12, #19, #20, #21, #26, #27, #28, #31, #36, #41, #42, #43, #53, #56, #59, #61, #62, #65, #69, #73, #79, #80, #89, #94, #99, #101, #103, #111, #115, #118, and #121.

NOTING that each provides valuable rights for the individuals of nations within our United Nations. And that the UN as a body is dedicated to granting a broad array of rights and choices to the citizens of it's member nations.

FURTHER NOTING that the right of choice is key to the ideals and desires shared by a strong number of UN members.

AFFIRMING that a person of right mind and body has the ability to make willful decisions for themselves and a right to make them that should not be infringed.

ACKNOWLEDGES that in accordance with the desire to preserve a persons right of choice we must recognize their right to willingly and without coercion give up that choice.

DECLARING that as of the passage of this resolution a person has the right to rescind or refuse any or all of their rights.

FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGING that this resolution will contain strict provisions that must be followed to ensure that citizens are in-fact not being coerced or compelled to rescind their rights.

1. REQUIRES that in order for a citizen to rescind their personal rights a member nation must pass by popular vote a measure acknowledging this resolution and the protection provisions provided herein.

2. REQUIRES that a formal form be filed by the citizen rescinding their rights. Containing the following:
a: A list of the freedoms being rescinded and the reasons there to.
b: An affidavit of support for this choice by an immediate family member or recognized governmental official.
c: A full psychiatric work up detailed by at least two certified psychiatrists to attest to the ability of the citizen to understand and be competent to rescind these rights.
d: A complete sealed medical report to accompany the form in the event that rescinded rights are returned and there is concern over mistreatment of the citizen.
e: A report from a UN officer containing the contents of an interview with the citizen acknowledging that the form is in order regarding this choice and that no coercion is evident.

3. REQUIRES that UN officers will be permitted to conduct regular and random unannounced checks on citizens who rescind their rights to ensure that no abuse of this provision is occurring.

4. ACKNOWLEDGES that each country has the right to carry out checks similar to the UN as named in section 3 to ensure their citizens aren't being influenced, but does not require that an agency be created to do so.

5. REQUIRES that those giving up their Rights acknowledge that they must still recognize the rights granted to others. That just because they by their choice may not wish the rights granted others have the right to be protected if they choose to keep their rights.

6. REQUIRES that no method of "blanket" approval can be performed to take away a citizens rights with this resolution. Reaffirming that on an individual basis only can a citizen relinquish their UN granted rights.

Lets see...

Description: Description: The United Nations as a body working to further protect the citizens and world as a whole recognizes that each citizen is entitled to a broad array of personal rights including but not limited to the following: UN Resolutions - #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #12, #19, #20, #21, #26, #27, #28, #31, #36, #41, #42, #43, #53, #56, #59, #61, #62, #65, #69, #73, #79, #80, #89, #94, #99, #101, #103, #111, #115, #118, and #121.

Actually, the way its worded, it would actually not be a House of Cards violation (this isn't being used as a starting block really by this proposal, they're just being referred to).

The real kicker is clause 1 - the optionality clause - AND it does it in such a manner that the optionality clause means that a nation has zero rights more than they did before - same as citizens. Add on that #2 adds about 5 pounds of beauraucracy onto them for something they certainly can do without issue by just deciding "oh, I'm not going to exercise my right to decide my Sexual Orientation - you choose it for me". Clause 3 and 4 are pointless. In fact, I'd say clause 5 is the only good clause in the entire resolution.

Description: The General Assembly of the United Nations,

Concerned by the rhetoric of free-trade policies which are not by any means played in a "level playing field",

Further concerned with mass domestic unemployment, tumbling labor wages and various poverty issues that will arise and alienate social classes due to the implementation of one previous "Global Food Distribution Act",

Perplexed by the re-writing of economic history by free-trade advocates when historical data suggest otherwise,

Discouraged that the free-trade paradigm is democratic only in definition and not in practice,

Noting that further advancement of democracy and freedom should be determined by advancement of fair cooperative discourse and not unequal competition,

Further noting that "free" and "fair" in the context of trade are mutually exclusive,

HEREBY

Implorers all UN member nations to repeal "Global Food Distribution Act" in order to advance further diplomacy and development that will spread wealth more equitably. Next time try submitting the repeal attempt correctly.

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Koyami

Description: Upon thinking hard in cases of war, we have come up with one proposal that would be helpfull for both parties of a war.
One-Should a person be captured, that person shall be treated as a slave.
Definition of slave in this case--A worker that is to be treated well, a prisoner of war working for the ones that captured the prisoner in question.
Two-After four years that Prisoner of war shall be released from captivity to his/her own nation untill captured again.
The reason to suggest that:
Use of prisoners of wars, is very usefull to each nation. Nation's that have the prisoners cleaning the streets and working on everything that other workers within the nation would choose not to do. For free too. That would also mean that we can take better care of our own workers too.

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Unstable Former Nuns

Description: Recongising my illability to spell correctly,

Eager nevertheless to plough on regargless,

Proudly displaying my insensitive bigotry,

-And-

Raring to share it with others;

I hereby clutter this space with yet another illiterate display of petty homophobia. In the past I would also have been tempted to indulge in a spot of low-grade racism (I’d have called it racialism), but since that is really beyond the pale nowadays I’ll just go with the gay bashing:

1. Gays threaten me. Their way of life. Their clothes. Their funny ‘jive’ talk.
2. It’s not natural. Was God gay? I don’t think so.
3. Therefore it’s indisputable. Gays is wrong.
4. My Dad would beat me if I was gay.
5. So would my Ma.
6. Once I had a funny dream about my PE teacher, but I scrubbed real hard after.
7. I don’t understand.
8. I lack the empathy, and therefore the capacity, to understand others.
9. It offends me that people can be happy when I am so disgusted with their way of life.

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Melodium

Description: Here in Melodium we are starting to feel the strain of what we see as a constant breech of UN regulations. The UN mandate states that in the case of refugees, only nations that border ours are allowed to send refugees our way.
However we find that more and more peoples of nations far far away from us are littering our shores!
This is mainly due to neglegance on the part of our close neighbours!

We put forward the motion that any nation found to be sending refugees an extra country further away from their safe, allowed, refuge should be hit with UN sanctions and huge fines!

Or they should be stripped of their UN status!

We feel this would not only help the refugees but would also stop nations acting in a way that is quite provocative to us!

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

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Woodchipping
Proposed by: The Wandering Nomads

Description: Two species in decline are the unicorns and the dodos. This proposal is being introduced in order to save these species.

The population of the unicorn is decreasing. Most of this is due to the deforestation of the world’s vast rainforests. Deep within the rainforest is the home of the unicorn, which is why they arte rarely seen by humans. If we keep cutting down trees the unicorns will eventually have no room to live in there deep sanctions of the rainforests and end up extinct. So, help out the unicorns.

The dodos are birds that are on the verge of extinction. With the dodo's islands being hunted by people and non-domesticated animals, I believe that they will soon be brought into extinction.

First, we will address the Unicorns. We believe that there should be a limit on how many trees can be cut down and how many forests should be affected. Also, we believe that it should be illegal to hunt these endangered species.

Second, we will address the dodos. We believe that hunting dodos should be stopped until the population becomes extremely larger. After that, we believe that there should be a hunting season for two months every one or two years. Also, many predators of the dodo were brought to their islands by early explorers. We believe that an action should be taken. This action would be to take and transport these animals to their natural environments.

This proposal will in all help these animals. All that we are asking to vote to help us save these species. So, please help us by voting to accept this proposal.

Thank you,

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Tacidem

Description: The UN

NOTING the increase in supply of nuclear weapons in most countries, and the immeasurable magnitude of death and suffering that a nuclear war would inevitably entail,

REALIZING that all effort should be put into preventing such a war, but also that nuclear weapons are necessary to maintain the balance of power between nations,

HEREBY demands that all member nations of the UN cede all nuclear warheads and ballistic launchers to the UN to prevent a nuclear war due to misunderstanding or aggression on the part of one nation.

Enactment of this bill
UN member nations will be given five years to comply with this statement from the date it is enacted, but for nations currently at war the period will begin at the war’s end. To fall under this category, a nation must be fighting an armed conflict with another nation in which both nation’s armies are involved, and which results in the death of at least 1000 soldiers a year. Also, both nations fighting must have nuclear weapons. At the end of the five year period, UN investigators will be sent to every country to ensure that they have acted accordingly. Nations are permitted to keep building nuclear weapons, but they must be given to the UN after completion. Periodic checks will occur every ten years by UN investigators to guard against illegal stockpiling of these weapons by any one nation.

Provisions for the use of Nuclear Weapons
A panel will be set up to control the weapons taken by the UN. This panel will have one member from each nation who has given nuclear weapons to the UN in it, to ensure that they all have a say in what their weapons are used for. In a wartime situation, an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the panel will be necessary to make the decision to use nuclear weapons. However, in an emergency, the head of the UN will have the power to make that decision. An emergency will be defined as a situation in which an attack on a UN nation with weapons of mass destruction seems very probable to occur and there is no time to gather the panel and take a vote. Illegal as it contradicts UN resolution #109 Nuclear Armaments.

Category: Human Rights

Proposed by: Eurasia and Oceana

Description: REGRETTING - that global reserves of fossil fuels are nearing utter depletion.

ALARMED AT - the international disregard for the promotion renewable energy sources.

DISAPPOINTED - that this global disinterest in long-term energy supplies has lead to wind and solar power sources becoming expensive and relatively inneficient.

RECOGNIZING - that nuclear fusion represents only a temporary stopgap against a growing energy chrisis.

RECOGNIZING - that nuclear fission is
a) a practically infinite source of power
b) free from any negative and/or harmful side-products
c) a permanent solution to mankind's energy problem

--------

URGES - all nations to pour funds into nuclear fission research.

DEMANDS - that one UN nation volunteers to themselves build a giant particle accelerator in order for international scientists to better understand the nature of atomic behaviour

PROCLAIMS - that an international board be set up, the UNBoPReNF, or United Nations Board for the Promotion and Research of Nuclear Fusion

FURTHER PROCLAIMS - that this board shall monitor scientific progress (including the afore mentioned particle accelerator), and distribute relative journals and papers freely across the globe in order for the furtherment of the use of nuclear fission, as well as employ scientists and construct labs in major states.

SETS - the deadline for the creation of a practical fission reactor for 50 years time, when stocks of gas and oil run dry.

Category: Social Justice

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Neolitholibria

Description: By instituting a mandatory 25% exportaion limit on agricultural exports nations are benefited by:

1. The decrease of economical class divisions. Farmers are often at the bottom of the economic food chain. This act keeps their products mainly domestic cause small-time farmers not to have to pay for their products to be exported. It bolsters those on the bottom without bringing anyone else down.

2. National strength by decreasing international dependency. The surplus of products can be stored for famine, drout, and other related natural disasters.

3. Price for non-native goods will increase, bolstering the economy.

4. Often when crop yields are down, demand increases and taxation increases causing inflation. This inflation does two things a.) It causes small-time farmers to run out of business and/or result to ILLEGAL crops for cultivation, and b.) It causes the inflation to spread throughout the economy causing recessions or depressions, thus economic security increases and crime decreases.

5. There is no limit to IMPORTS, allowing national purchasing freedoms.

6. People will be needed to monitor the expoprtation, thus creating government funded jobs, lowering unemployment and benefitting the economy.

7. It fights the imperialism of Free Trade by preserving farmers rights, keeping a barrier on culture and allowing countries the ability to keep natural monopolies on goods in tact. (Free Trade eliminates demand for products by lowering tariffs and exports.)

8. **It does not limit manufactured goods in anyway.I think this one might contradict the GFDA, but I'm not sure.

NBET-Real

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: The Latin Jews

Description: Excuse me, I did not place the topic in the correct category:
National Border Enforcement Treaty
This resolution would involve the placements of tracking devices in all trucks that cross over the border. This will further keep track of any illegal substances that are coming into and out of countries. If this resolution is ratified, then it will boost the moral stability of all nations, because illegal immigrants will not be a threat. Each nation will be a safer place as well, because if there is a weapon or threat that comes into our country, it would be found, and in the even that the criminal would try to escape, then that respective party could be traced due to the newly installed GPS trackers. This is also economically beneficial to each nation because it wouldnt be costly. Why? Hey, if cars can have them installed automatically, why can't all trucks? Thank you, members and delegates of the UN for hearing my resolution.

Even if the proposal wasn't stupid on its own, the first line (yes, there was a second submission) takes the cake.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Ceorana

Description: ALARMED that almost every nation in NationStates makes it very hard to attain citizenship, and many do not allow you to be a citizen of another nation as well,

CONCERNED that there is no mechanism for a person that does not want to belong to any one nation,

ESTABLISHES the United Nations World Citizenship Program (UNWCP) for the purpose of having any person with a good crime and political record to become a "Citizen of the World" (CotW) on acceptance by the leaders of the UNWCP;

MANDATES that CotWs be able to travel between UN nations, possibly with minimal security checks;

MAKES CLEAR that CotWs may have their status revoked for any reason by a majority of the leaders of the UNWCP;

MANDATES that the UNWCP will act as a democratic "pseudo-nation", and that all CotWs will have a fair vote in making decisions relating to it;

LETS EACH NATION DECIDE whether or not to include CotWs in its political process.I don't know what to say.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Great Denizistan

Description: Whereas our Government has noted with concern a growing trend in inacceptable homophobic behaviour worldwide,
Whereas we believe homophobic acts as much as any types of racism or discrimination to be contrary to the principles of the United Nations,
Whereas we believe that equal rights ought to mean equal rights for all including the LGBT community,
Whereas we believe such a resolution will further the long struggle of the LGBT community to gain full rights on a global scale,
We ask upon all UN member states to support this resolution that will defend the rights of all LGBT people of all UN member states and will create a Commission in charge of reporting any violation by any state or any recurrent discriminatory acts against the said community.
We would also like to make clear that the issue of same-sex marriage is not raised in this resolution, as that is an issue left to the national legislatures of the UN member states themselves. However, the Gay Rights Act makes it clear that all LGBT people ought to have the same rights as any other community and urges political and economic actors not to obstruct their vital contribution to our societies. If the Gay Rights resolution was repealed this would actually make a fairly decent replacement.

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Tighten

Proposed by: Newbrownland

Description: Imagine if instead of shooting at each other we all just got along. What good reason has anyone got for shooting anyone else apart from a reason that involves more guns? So i say lets not teach our kids about gunpowder, but lets censor everything to do with guns out of our countries. Make being in possession of a gun worthy of a life sentence, ban gun production and chuck all current guns into the dark pacific along with the scientist people that make guns (kill them first). As for farmers who "need guns" (bollocks), give them large nets to catch birds with (hey its not cruel we do it to fish).
But how would police crime i hear you cry!!, well for now the police should be issued with machetti's. then as crime gradually fades out (because of lack of guns) the police can be given less threatening weapons (like tasser's). I'm getting a headache just trying to decipher this one.

Let's fight for human rights, the right for a baby to be allowed to live. There is no method of abortion that is humane, and sometimes abortions fail. There is too great a risk in allowing this horrific procedure to take place in a civilised society.

A baby is a life regardless of what stage of development it has reached.

And on a side note, that World Citizenship one doesn't actually sound that bad. The process to become one should be pretty damn rigorous, and you really need to have countries participate on a voluntary basis (there's no sense forcing a citizen on a country that doesn't particularly want them), but if you could get the process working, I could get behind that.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: -Connecticut-

Description: The General Assembly,

Acknowledging the need for rights of the accused;

Recognizing the importance to outline the rights that should be granted and guaranteed to all citizens;

Further recognizing the right of all humans to possess these rights regardless of the crimes committed;

Taking into account that these initiatives are to ensure every person and peoples the rights they deserve and are endowed and which are unalienable by the government;

Affirming that these rights shall be now set in stone rather than assumed or implied through other resolutions passed by the United Nations;

1. Emphasizes the needs for Miranda Rights in all UN Member Nations;

a. Whenever a person is held in custody, and subject to interrogation, the police must apprise the person of his rights, or the statements are inadmissable in court,
b. This extends to include the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney or public defender, and the right to know the charge brought against the accused;

2. Affirms the right to a fair trial;

a. This includes the right to a speedy trial by the accused's peers,
b. The right to choose your attorney or public defender,
c. The right to present a defense,
d. The affirmation that you are innocent until proven guilty, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,
e. The verdict by the jury must be unanimous, otherwise mistrial is declared and case is tried again under a new jury,
f. The right of 'double jeopardy', meaning if found not guilty, cannot be retried for that same charge again unless mistrial declared or the addition of charges added,
g. The right to change the trial venue if found to not be impartial to the case being heard,
h. The right to request to be tried by a panel of judges if any jury is felt to be biased towards the case on trial;

3. Accepts the rights to due process of law;

a. This includes the right to a fair and public trial conducted in a competent manner,
b. The right to be present at the trial,
c. The right to an impartial jury,
d. The right to be heard in one's own defense,
e. Laws must be written so that a reasonable person can understand what is criminal behavior;

4. Recognizes the right to appeal a verdict to an appellate court;

5. Endorses the writ of Habeas Corpus;

a. Requires that the government must present an accused and arrested person before an impartial judge within 24 hours of initial detainment in order to prove that there exists just cause to hold that person against his or her will;

6. Reiterates that the institution of criminal rights within nations would strongly reflect democratic principles, freedom, liberty, justice and equality before the law, and the guarantee that those rights can not be violated by the government;

7. Calls upon member nations of the UN to support this act and recognize these basic human and civil rights that are all inherent in order to make them guaranteed;

8. Appeals to the nations of the UN to guarantee their citizens these basic rights since the people possess the fundamental right to law and order. Anyone else find this proposal to be somewhat redundant?

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #12

Proposed by: The new blood

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

Argument: Have you every been shot down? One of the reasons why is, they could be gay. Your hopes are put into one person, and you wait for the chance to talk to that person, and then someone of the same sex walks by and they start to kiss? I know discrimination may be wrong, but being shot down at that degree, it's awful. I'm not just speaking for these type of people. If you are gay, consider this: The humiliation involved in being married to someone of the same sex. It's one thing being the boy/girl friend, but being married. It costs more money, you aren't being supported and you could easily be gay or lesbian with another person without going through even MORE discrimination.

Therefore, we the people of The New Blood, wish to repeal this act, saving the humiliation and pain of others. We say, gay marriage should not be protected, as it had close to none in the first place. This will be good for the economy and would easily create a new resulution to stop discrimination, in another approach. We wish to stop humiliation and more money of "the people" and put a hault to gay marriages.That has got to be the most creative arguement for repealing this one I've ever seen.

I assume you are referring to my Democracy Quota proposal. While it may seem perposterous, it is not unreasonable to mandate a small amount of political freedom on the part of citizens of UN nations. After all, are not democratic principles at work on UN votes? Also, it is not illegal if the majority of the UN wants this to become a resolution. The goal is to improve the world, not grant clemency to rogue nations. Plus, you can leave the UN if you want, and this proposal would only affect UN member nations.

The Law of the Sea was voted in by a majority; it is still illegal. Furthermore, your proposal is arguably illegal under the 'ideological ban' clause of the rules for UN proposals, as it bans authoritarianism. Furthermore, it's almost certainly illegal under the 40% clause (optionality) and the repeal clause (games mechanics). I suspect these are the points Waterana was picking up on; something being 'reasonable' does not make it any more legal.

Actually the illegal part I picked up on, in addition to a couple Gruenberg has already mentioned, was in the last paragraph when I read "Nations not complying with this clause are subject to review by this body and may be ejected at the discretion of UN members". Only the moderators can eject nations from the UN and they only do it for rule breaking to my knowledge.

In my opinion that line alone makes this resolution illegal.

Resolution: #4

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

Argument: MANY nations see the UN as powerless, who have no strength and cannot act against member nations who wish to oppose them or act against their aims.

THEREFORE I suggest the repeal of United Nations Resolution #4 "UN Taxation Ban".

THIS ban prevents the UN from collecting taxes directly from the citizens of any member state for any purpose.

I BELIEVE that for the UN to be seen as a dominant world power, who have the strength and ability to act against member nations then they will succeed, unlike the previous 'League of Nations' who had failed as they did not have the power to act against the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, or the Italian invasion of Abyssinia.

THE TAX should be determined by the strength of the economy for each member nation only. The stronger the economy, the higher the tax.

HOWEVER the money should only be spent on important matters such as: Global disarament, repealing third world debt and free trade for less economically developed countries.Not only does this not have a snowball's chance in hell of passing, but it has RL references in it too.

2. Mass flooding of major cities
3. Cutting off of the Gulf stream causing places such as Britain's temperatures to plummet.
There are more but the key thing is that people will die and the world cannot cope with it.

Here is what this treaty proposes to do:

1. start to make more electric cars and cut back on the petrol cars and their exhaust fumes.( we will need to soon as we are running out of fossil fuels.)
2. Different uses of powers. Stop burning fossil fuels and use wind energy or solar power. ( again we will need to eventually anyway as we are running out of the resources.)
3. Prison sentences for people who are seen harming the environment in anyway.

I can't remember the two categories, but it's like atmospheric Natural Disasters and then there's some other group. The other group include Earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis, etc. These have, generally speaking, not had much change in terms of number that occur. The general conclusion is there has been no real change in them from global warming

Atmospheric look at things like Hurricanes, etc which have something like doubled over I think the last 50 years. THOSE suggest being affected by global warming - and in some environmentalists minds, not switching your car to an electric one just makes matters worse. What's rather humorous is the vast majority of the electricity in my area comes from the burning of coal......so it is actually less pollution for me to have a gasoline engine than an electric/hybrid. That said, I do even better with not even owning a car to begin with :D

04-12-2005, 23:57

Atmospheric look at things like Hurricanes, etc which have something like doubled over I think the last 50 years.Incorrect. Hurricanes run in cycles. The 90's was an exceptionally dry (no pun intended) period for them. Most climatologists are not surprized in the slightest by the uptick, and they say that "global warming" has no affect on the frenquency or severity. Indeed, some argue that the water-warming affects of global warming would make hurricanes less frequent.

THOSE suggest being affected by global warming - and in some environmentalists minds, not switching your car to an electric one just makes matters worse.Heh. An article in Nature recently lamented that the reduction in greenhouse gasses had made global temperatures higher because more heat from the sun made it to the ground, thus raising the temperature of the ground and increasing global temperatures.

If increasing greenhouse gasses makes global warming worse and decreasing greenhouse gasses makes global warming worse, perhaps the problem isn't man-made, ya know? Maybe the fact that the sun has been continuously getting hotter (as stars are wont to do) is the source of the problem ;)

Ahem. Sorry about that. This really isn't the place for this sort of thing.

It does, and I find the inclusion of a url in the text of a proposal to be rather strange.

I think that is supposed to be what the "third emblem" looks like.

Is that allowed, though? It'd make repeal-replace attempts easier if you could link to the replacement from the repeal.

Yep, that's what it is. This raises an interesting scenario. If the url is considered to be part of the legal text of the resolution, is the site that it points to also considered part of the resolution?. Consider this: You write a resolution and it is over the character limit. You post the "extra" text on another site and include the url to that site in the submitted part of the resolution. Is the part that is hosted somewhere else part of the resolution? Mod ruling please.

Ah well. At least I've still got the 5 month record between first submission and hitting quorum. I think.

And if my version of Rehochipe's proposal gets up, that'll be a nice 18-month period between first and final submissions, with two different proposers.

Resolution of Establishment

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: New Commonwealth

Description: This resolution of Establishment will estblish the Jedi Council. This DOES NOT establish an Army for the UN, it merely denotes a council of people dedicating themselves to act as "third parties" in disputes (mid or otherwise) between nations and regions.

1) The Jedi Council will have the authority to impose the rules and regulations of the United Nations.

2) The Jedi Council shall be led by a person to have the title of Chairperson, Master Jedi and this position is a lifetime position to be voted on by the UN delegates and must receive a 2/3rds vote as well as popular vote of all UN Members.

3) The Jedi Council will be comprised of no more than 12 people at any one point in time that will hold the rank of Jedi Master. These Twelve individuals will be appointed by anyone and must be approved by half of the UN Delegates during a one week time period.

4) The Jedi Council may take on people to handle the disputes between nations and regions directly. These individuals are refered to as Jedi Knights. These Knights are appointed directly by the Jedi Council.

5) The Jedi Knights in turn may take on people to be refered to as Jedi Padawan's or Padawan Learners which the Knights will train to take over their duties as a Jedi Knight.

6) The power of the Jedi Council does not include the power to wage war, they simply serve as an extension of the diplomatic services and power of the UN to bring all conflicting parties to the negotiating table.

7) The Jedi Council has the authority to setup and implement it's own rules and regulations with the exception that nothing violates any preceeding law of the United Nations.

8) The Jedi Council recognizes the laws of the UN as the Supreme Law of the Land.

Game mechanics, but actually fairly well written.

Game mechanics, but actually fairly well written.

Debatable. 1 is either metagaming or Game mechanics, but it's the only possible game mechanics. 2 and 3 are the clearer violators of metagaming and the instant delete. 1 is just sketchy.

However, if 1 was removed and its components was added to 6 as a group that imposes the solution, 2 and 3 were changed to a vote within the Jedi Council already, and 7 was modified so it stated explicitly that those laws it makes are for its own members, not the UN membership, then it will be fully legal.....with one exception

I just interpreted 2-3 as game mechanics, due to voting by delegates/citizens, but I appreciate the clarification. Never could understand the difference between mechanics and metagaming...

Forgottenlands

The line is sketchy, but committees incorrectly set up fall under metagaming. The voting aspect even moreso. I think the reasoning behind the vote is that the vote is held on the UN floor on these forums (certainly, that's happened in proposals). Thus they kind of are more of a player-run mandatory vote - not requiring a recode per-se. That's the same reason why members can't staff the committees either. So basically, metagaming is where you require people to do stuff outside the code that is pretty ridiculous and game mechanics is where an actual recode of the program is required.

OK, thanks. So the delegate voting would be metagaming, while the popular vote would be mechanics.
Actually I would interpert clause 3 as impossible to acheive, approval of 50% of the UN delegates in a week? Come on, it's hard enough to get 6% of them to approve a proposal for vote, getting half of them to approve someone for this council would never happen.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: New Benlanica

Description: this UN bill will make sure than in all UN countries who are not democracies will become american democracies, not much change from a sychotic dictatorship.

here's how it works:

both candates rig the elections SO much that elections are more a show of power than a democratic process. for the first x number of elections, both sides must provide troops to keep the peace, thiss allows the dictator, with the full army of the country to drive away/round up and kill voters who vote against him.

for the sembelence of order surrounding the elections, tv must be unsensored.http://bak42.notworksafe.com/images/NationStates/Smilies/laugh.gif
