Not that I can remember, but then I've only read this "return" thread, so I may be missing one from the original. If nothing else, one could conceivably say that this one sets a precedent for itself.:D

Ah, but you are the first to ask about silliness precedent, therefore being a precedent for all those coming after you who want to ask about precedent! See? Problem solved once again by the profound use of intellect! (and the arts) hehe... I punned my own name...hehe

I beleive that member nations should be allowed to make ratical changes for the sake of economy. For example...child labor...or the expultion of criminals from the country..or the euthinasion of elderly. This would allow a country to utilize its population and reduce the overhead and economic burden of its criminals and elderly!

Um - wrong thread - you're looking for the "New Topic" button. This is for proposals that have been made but are just plain "WTF" in nature, not about what your personal beliefs are.

Repeal "Global Food Distribution Act"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #130
Proposed by: Blissful Elysia

Description: UN Resolution #130: Global Food Distribution Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument:

Approvals: 1 (Child Care Workers)

To the point.

Repeal "End slavery"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #6
Proposed by: Indiana Joneses

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

Argument: Slavery has been practiced throughout human history. It had been practiced in the early hunter-gatherer stage in human society and is still in debate among historians when slavery actually began. In addition, slavery was found in such infamous states as Ancient Egypt, the Macedonian Empire, and the Roman Empire. Even before the Portuguese slowly started moving down the coast of West Africa; slavery was already practiced among the various West African kingdoms thanks to Islamic influences. Thus, it can be strongly argued that slavery is part of human origins.

Furthermore, the reinstating of slavery will create an economic surplus that would surpass any present thriving economy to date.

Now understandably past slavery institutions have been cruel; however, if this law is repealed the United Nations should automatically establish the Slavery Rights Institution (SRI) meant to regulate slave cruelty. Each individual slave will have an inherent legal set of rights that cannot be infringed upon by their owners. These rights can be further argued upon after the repeal of this law.

Ban Capital Punishment
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Dominicai

Description: The UN

HAVING ESTABLISHED that in former legislation it has banned inhumane punishment,

DECLARING capital punishment to be the epitome of inhumanity,

RECOGNIZINNG the fact that capital punishment does not serve as a particular deterrent over other punishment,

REALIZING the need for rehabilitation over retribution or punishment,

REALIZING the possibility of innocent death and life not being returnable,

Also DECLARING that Capital Punishment sinks the law to the level of the criminal

and DEFINING capital punishment as the punishment of breakers of law being death,

1.ABOLISHES capital punishment in all forms throughout the UN and condemns it.

2.Makes the use of capital punishment or torture (having been previously banned) punishable by being removed from the UN.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Evidently resubmitting the same legal proposal over and over again got boring. So he decided to make it illegal. Nice variation.

ALSO NOTING that there are a relatively large number of nations for which these resolutions do not cause economic strain,

Promotion of Democracy

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Manckunia

Description: Many a nation are too tight on civil rights and political freedoms, and more concerned about the economy.

The right to vote is something which everyone should have the right to do. A nation with a voice is a nation to be well heard, too many dictatorships are oppressing nations and democracy should be promoted.

The promotion of Democracy would promote civil rights and political freedoms, a suppressed nation is an insufficient one. The promotion of democracy is the first stepping stone to an open nation.

The further-Ment of democracy would make it easier for people to join the UN and maybe become delegate, we can trust a nation with high civil rights and high political freedoms, but not so much with economy.

I appeal to you as fellow delegates to back the further-Ment of democracy and make trust a plausible word.

Uh? Further-Ment, you say? To be honest, i just don't trust him, he has an economy...

Ban Religion from Government

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


Category: Moral Decency


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Vinticus

Description: As it has been proven throughout mankind's violent history that Religion, of all sorts, has been used by Governments as an excuse for the mistreatment and persecution of differing peoples, a rallying cry for war, and a thinly veiled excuse for bigotry and playing on people's fears;
Let it be now illegal for any Government to endorse one form of Religion to the exclusion of others.
Further;
Allow individual religions to flourish with no interference from, nor aid from, any Nation.
Further;
One's religious belief should not be used to determine eligibility, nor ineligibility for Government office
Henceforth, it will be deemed illegal for any member of the Clergy to hold any elected or appointed office.

With all the nasty governments out there, he had to start with Theocracies...

Repeal "Hydrogen Powered Vehicles"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #18


Proposed by: Kerretom

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

Argument: After looking this apparently sound argument, I noticed one thing: This favors the big people. The small countries cannot afford the development of hydrogen cars, no matter how good it is for the environment. Furthermore, even in the large countries, hydrogen cars are more expensive to make and to buy. An estimated 25% of the population wouldn't be able to afford hydrogen cars! In fact, automobile exhalation accounts for less than 2% of all polution! If you want to cut down on pullution, close down the factories! As everyone knows, Kerretom is pro-environment. However, we are also pro-people. It is better for the people if they can afford their cars.

Please, help the little people!

Sounds like Gulliver's Travels. Oh, and branding.

Legalization of crime drugs

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


Category: Recreational Drug Use


Decision: Legalize


Proposed by: Hydratonia

Description: For decades, recreational drugs such as marijuana and ecstasy have been outlawed. As with any ban, these drugs have been on the black market for huge prices, sold by criminal dealers, and wrecking families through the massive debts taken on by the drug addicts.

My suggestion is this: If we legalize recreational drugs, then the Black Market for them will go down. Under this resolution, all those who qualified as drug addicts would be given an identity card by the government, which they would show at a pharmacy in order to purchase the drugs at legal prices. The dealers would lose out.

Of course, we can't have nations full of stoned zombies. Therefore, each week, the amount would go down slightly - in a miniscule way. Eventually, the addict would no longer need the drug, and would be rehabilitated.

Approvals: 0

Status: Lacking Support (requires 128 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Sun Dec 11 2005
Wouldn't this just turn all our pharmacies into drug rehab centres?

Nudists

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


Category: Moral Decency

Also they should be placed on a named-and-shamed page in the local papers showing their privates as punishment.

Repeal "UN taxation ban"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #4

Proposed by: New Commonwealth

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

Argument: I believe it is unrealistic to ban the ability to tax the member's of the United Nations. It would be opptunistic to have the UN regulate one tax rate for all nations. The greater good for the greater number...

Maybe not illegal, but I cannot follow the argument.

Small Business Incentives

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Xercelon

Description: RECOGNIZING the need for increased economies and

NOTING the positive economic effect of small businesses and

DEFINING small businesses as those which employ 30 or less persons at the time of their establishment and no more than 50 persons at any later time,

BE IT HEREBY ENACTED that small businesses shall be encouraged in all UN nations and granted the following incentives to boost the economic sectors of all UN nations:

-Tax Exempt status
-No requirement for employee health benefits
-A government loan of the equivalent to $50,000 USD at only 1.375% interest
-Immunity from all civil lawsuits for five years

BE IT ALSO OBSERVED that:

-Small businesses shall not be immune to criminal lawsuits
-Periodic checks shall be conducted to confirm small business status

RL references: Do USD exist in NS?

Occupational Freedom

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Staebell

Description: WISHING world-wide personal freedoms and diverse economies,

PROMOTING fairness, justice, and consideration,

ACKNOWLEDGING sovereignty and self-rule.

PROPOSES all nations allow thier citizens the freedom to choose their own occupations and where that occupation involves inheirent risk to the worker,

DECLARES that even dangerous, illegal, or unregulated occupations may be chosen by a citizen and if so, a citizen deserves the benefits of a states' health, safety, and welfare resources where applicable;

INCLUDING that where a worker is employed in an illegal occupation, they shall not be withheld from enjoying the protections, benefits, and rights of an individual performing legal or legitimate occupations

Errr... does that mean I cannot arrest criminals anymore?

RL references: Do USD exist in NS?
Yes and no. They're used by thirdgeek et al to calculate exchange rates and other economic information, based upon the XML pages. However, they probably shouldn't be used in UN proposals.

It's a somewhat vague area.

I'd prefer it if Proposals didn't list hard currency numbers at all. Not only does it present a problem with real world violations, but, over time, listing numbers can end up being silly (ie: the US Bill of Rights, Ammendment 7: "In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." $20 is chump change today).

It's generally used as a "tipping factor". If the Proposal is borderline, and it includes a reference to the USD, then we'll probably delete it; otherwise, it'll likely be ignored. But we'd really prefer it if people would find a way to write their Proposals without referencing currency at all.

And when you add in the obscene wealth of some nations, it's impossible to set an amount that works. An amount that would be "fair" to me would bankrupt a small nation.

The 3 Theory Act

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Faiddqax

Description:
NOTICING that children are not receiving the full education about the Earth and origins of human existence.

CONCERNED about children’s lack of knowledge of our ever growing Earth.

NOTICING that some, not all, teachers at predominately Christian schools are teaching one theory of the Earths creation. The common term for what these persons teach is called the "Creation Theory" or "Creationism."

ACKNOWLEDGING that there are other theories about the Earths creation that have been flying the globe of which there are two that are most popular named "Evolution" and "Intelligent Design."

NOTING that all theories are just as good as the next and no one is better than another.

DECLARES that not one theory may be put under the category or to be taught in a “Science” class. All will be taught together and equally in a “Social Studies” class.

ENFORCING that all teachers in each nation that is apart of the UN will be subject to teach all of the five (5) most prominent theories of the Earths creations with no or less than a little bias towards one.

ENFORCING that if a teacher has taught (a) child/ren that one theory is more relevant than another or teaches less than the five (5) most prominent theories or of any sort degrades a theory will be subject to a trial under the UN Resolution #47 “Definition of ‘Fair Trial’” on account of mind poisoning.

PROMOTING the child once completely satisfying the parts of this document be able to make up his/her own mind on how to view the Earths creation without any one else’s help unless they have specific questions concerning one (1) or more.

HOPING that the children taught under this act will grow to become a more sophisticated generation than the last with the full knowledge that people other than himself/herself have opinions as well.

Oh. My. God. I know this is not a joke, but I find it an exquisite example of <unsound reasoning>. All theories are just as good as the next? No theory can be taught as Science? <:eek:>

Anyway, HoC violation.

OOC: I know, I should calm down, this is a game.

Evolution is a theory on planetary creation? When did this happen?

Edit: And yes, calm the hell down. Not everyone believes the same things you do, and this sort of thing is already enshrined in UN law...

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Delta48

Description: RECOGNIZING the states voluntarily join the United Nations and may leave when they deem fit.

FEARING the power of the United Nations has become far over reacing and this resolution will limit its power.

HOPING the UN will return to its original cause of creation: to stop wars on earth.

ONCE this proposal is enacted, the UN will have the following powers:
1) provide help for oppressed Nations
2) provide assistance to Nations when in a time of need
3) punish Nations when its people's life, liberty and property are threatened or not provided
4) attempt every action necessary to avoid any military or guerilla confrontation.
5) enact resolutions that are absolutely necessary for the good of the world.

REASONING for this limitations are of the following:
1) to further the independence of each state
2) the UN has become too big and powerful
3) make the UN act as it was supposed to act

CONCLUDING if the UN is on the side of democractic freedoms, then this will be its cornerstone.Illegal as hell.

Thought I deleted that one... :eek:

Hm. Someone might be getting kicked...

Edit: Hm. Seems someone else submitted it. Have to keep an eye on this...

Government Gambling Act
Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Outlaw
Proposed by: Ryonian Cities

2) That banning all forms of gambling creates a gambling black market, centered around criminals and their profits.

PROPOSING:

2) A "rigged" national lottery, where the winners are people who contribute to government actions, such as organising pro-government clubs,campaings and even money centric businesses(which contribute greatly to government funding and national economy). Although the general public should not be allowed the knowledge of the rigging, therefore they will still pay for tickets.

3) These government controlled gambling organisations should include: Casinios, Bookmakers & Gladiatorial death fights.

PREDICTING: A large econmic boost, and a tighter control over the criminal underworld, gambling population.

At last, a proposal we can really get behind!

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #135
Proposed by: Cramistan

Description: UN Resolution #135: Right to Divorce (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The "Right to Divorce" would be a resolution that states "No member nation shall enact laws prohibiting divorce."

Resolution 135 goes far far beyond that, and creates a legislative Swiss Cheese that our lawyers are itching to cram an ocean liner through.

I will support a resolution that states "No nation shall enact laws prohibiting divorce." But Resolution 135 must go.

Change in United Nation Voting

Category: Political Stability

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Al Terraz

Description: The United Nations:
Recognizing the ease of which most resolutions are passed,

Realizing that if a resolution passes by a marginal percentage, a large portion of member states simply lose out on that resolution,

Declaring that the rights of the minority in such a situation must be reasonably recognized,

1. Has Resolved to change voting procedure from a simply majority vote to one of 2/3s majority, in effort to better represent the ideas of minorities, in hopes that greater cooperation can be achieved by such means;

2. Further Invites extended dialogue on the issue at hand;

3. Suggests that member nations recognize any circumstance in which they were in the minority before voting on this resolution.

A) Decrease the pollution, without the expence of losing the industry.

Repeal "Gay Rights"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #12
Proposed by: Porcu

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

Argument: We, the people of the Holy Republic of Porcu and the other peoples of the world that wish to keep the correct set of morals laid out by Jesus Christ, Muhammad, and other religious phrophets for our individual good and the benefit of mankind. As described in Leviticus 18:22:
"You shall not lie with a male as those who lie with a female; it is an abomination." Obviously you cannot be gay AND Christian as they contradict each other. In other words, for the better of society and the world gay rights should be rendered null and void in all nations

Given this is illegal anyway, was it worth submitting 13 times in the space of five minutes?

And, from UN happenings:

* Seconds ago: The Republic of Quiland applied to join the UN.
* Seconds ago: The proposal "Repeal "Gay Rights"" was removed from the floor.
* Seconds ago: The Democratic Republic of Socialist Proletarians was admitted to the UN.
* Seconds ago: The proposal "Repeal "Gay Rights"" was removed from the floor.

It's extraordinary to think that, when asked What Would Jesus Do? there are Christians out there who don't think "Make something out of wood" or "Heal the sick", but rather "Jesus would make himself a big sign saying 'God Hates Fags' and parade up and down at a funeral of some poor blighter who died of AIDS."

1. Massive duplication.
2. Blatant plagiarism.
3. Ironic, given the resolution at vote.
4. How the fuck was this under the character count?

well, how much does enters/returns count for, because this seems to be one made up of almost single line sentences, followed by return/enter

I believe returns only count as one character, so this is easily under the limit. Or rather, was.

I'm not even sure if it counts returns, but we've come to the conclusion that the limit is PROBABLY 3000 characters without white-space which may or may not count returns.

3511 with spaces, and it seems the limit is around 3500 with spaces and with some character not counted as in ms word

If it's any help, my final draft of the chemical weapons ban was four characters under the limit. Not sure if you can figure out from that (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10089315&postcount=87) what the limit is. (Also, MS Word count is unreliable.)

My first submission of Drugs Trafficking Act was at about 3470 characters with spaces, according to word. Have since culled about 200 characters, while making better sense..

Ask yourself what you can do for this world, to get it better. You can be a hero as soon as you want by giving me your suport for this long travel to save our land.

We must first send all HippieDom UN member out of our glorious association, then we must send the UN ARMY to control the country for a period of 2 weeks, when the UN or any country that want so would control these and do whats is better for its people. Then we would give back the control to the governement in place with some conditions that we could discuss during next Security Consil meeting.

If it is hard to determine if a mongrel dog is a mixture of labrador and staffy, then the benefit of the doubt will be given, and the dog will be given a gun.

The gun to be handed to the newly discovered (a question of when, not if) talking dogs, is the AK-47.
Wait a minute, wouldn't this "relax" gun control laws?

Repeal "Global Food Distribution Act"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #130


Proposed by: Patrons

Description: UN Resolution #130: Global Food Distribution Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZING: That nations have the sole right to govern their economy as they best see fit;

FURTHER RECOGNIZING: That governments receiving food are not held accountable for the distribution of said food within its' own nation;

NOTING: That the UN shall not hinder the economic stability or growth of any nation due to the enactment of laws;

FURTHER NOTING: Nations forced to relinquish food for redistribution may not, as a result, have an adequet supply of food for their own citizens;

EMPHASIZING: That any measure proposed in a UN resolution that "encourages" or "emphasizes" an issue, does not infringe upon a nation in any way and therefore shall be permissable.

HEREBY REPEALS THE FOLLOWING ARTICLES OF UN RESOLUTION #130 (Global Food Distribution Act)

ARTICLE 3: On The Basis That: No nation should be required to surrender their right to make revenue by eliminating any of the following: Tariffs, Duties, Farm Subsidies and Subventions. "Protectionist Mechanisms" are a fundamental right of a nation to ensure the economic stability of its' people;

ARTICLE 4: On The Basis That: Any mandatory measure to eliminate "Protectionist Measures" infringes upon a nations right to conduct business in any manner it chooses;

ARTICLE 6: On The Basis That: The UNFTC is an unnecessary establishment which infringes upon the economic rights of a nation;

ARTICLE 8: On The Basis That: No nation shall have to take upon itself the burden of or make a priority the research of improved food production or distribution;

THIS REPEAL NOTES THAT: Any nation may, at their own consent, take part in any of the measures outlined, however it is not required.

The becoming all too common nat sov blather. What got me with this one though, is that the author only wants to repeal the bits of it he/she didn't like, except for the last line where we are allowed to opt out all together. Maybe someone should explain to this person that a repeal is all or nothing.

Proposed by: Les moutons de Gilles

Description: Notre gouvernement propose que le Français soit l'une des langues officielles des Nations-Unis.
Proposons également que cette démarche conduise vers l'élargissement des langues parlées au sein de l'organisation internationale pour une meilleure reconnaissance de la diversité culturelle dans un but commun, l'enrichissement des peuples par l'ouverture sur le monde.
Cette proposition est motivée par le souci d'entendre toute les voix de tous les pays, en permettant de mieux comprendre les intentions de chacun au delà des difficultés d'interpretations. Défendre la paix donc par le respect de la différence et l'encouragement à découvrir les autres cultures sans passer par le prisme de son nombril.

Proposons d'encourager l'apprentissage du français dans tous les pays membres par une campagne de sensibilisation des gouvernements,

Proposons d'adaopter comme langue officielle le français dans les débats et décisions de l'organisation au même titre que l'anglais,

Proposons de mettre en oeuvre une formation permettant à chaque déléguation de parler le français,

Proposons enfin d'établir un calendrier pour permettre aux autres langues d'être reconnues dans le concert international,

Ultimement permettre, par comité d'experts, d'élaborer une langue internationale sur la base de l'esperento. Faire de cette langue la langue officielle de l'organisation et des rapports internationaux.

Souhaitant trouver l'appui à cette propostion, le Gouvernement des Moutons de Gilles transmet ses sincères respects à l'ensemble de la Communauté Internationale. While I don't speak french (at least I think that that is what this is written in) I'm guessing from the title that this resolution would make french the official language of the UN, and I think that there's a branding violation in there too.

Ban Pointed Sticks

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.


Category: Global Disarmament


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Cluichstan

Description: FULLY CONVINCED effective international cooperation and law is required for world peace,

APPALLED at the effects of pointed sticks, including death, injury, and damage, including putting people's eyes out,

DEEPLY CONCERNED that pointed sticks constitute a major threat,

CONDEMNING pointed sticks, and determined to effectively eliminate them,

STRESSING the importance of responsible decommissioning of pointed sticks, as improper disposal could be as hazardous as direct use thereof,

NOT WISHING to limit legitimate trade in timber, and noting such trade could increase international cooperation in socioeconomic development,

OBSERVING certain sticks can be used responsibly in the maintenance of law and order, whilst further observing that some sticks with legitimate applications in industry, agriculture, medicine etc. could be weaponised by terrorist organizations:

1. DEFINES for the purposes of this resolution:
(a) "pointed sticks" as:
i. sticks and precursors primarily designed for production of pointed sticks ;
ii. munitions and devices primarily designed to kill or harm through the action of pointed sticks;
iii. any equipment primarily designed for cooperative use with said sticks;

(b) pointed stick as a sharpened stick that, through its physical action on life processes, causes death or permanent harm to animal species, and that has reasonable potential as a weapon,

(c) "precursor" as a piece of wood that takes part at any stage in the production of a toxic chemical;

2. DECLARES pointed sticks not necessary for national defence,

3. PROHIBITS:
i. production, development, possession, distribution or use of pointed sticks;
ii. aid or inducement towards the production, development or use of pointed sticks by any party, including but not limited to non-state terrorist organizations;
iii. the use of sticks of legitimate civilian application for military purposes;
iv. the production of precursors for use in the making of pointed sticks;

4. REQUIRES:
i. the destruction of all pointed sticks;
ii. the destruction, or complete conversion to civilian application, of all facilities previously directed to the production, development, storage or deployment of pointed sticks;
iii. that such measures are carried out promptly, but that due regard for health, environmental and security concerns is taken;

5. MANDATES that all member nations immediately disclose details of any transfers of pointed sticks, trees that could produce pointed sticks; precursors likely to be used in the production of pointed sticks; or equipment, such as whittling knives, pertaining to the production of pointed sticks, to or from any nations or non-state organizations in the past 10 years;

6. RESERVES the right of member nations to use blunt in the cause of maintaining law and order, but urges that such measures only be employed where the risk to civilians presented by the disturbance of the peace significantly outweighs that of the use of blunt sticks.

Description: Considering that everyone has an issue of gun control, we need to tighten gun laws everywhere!

1. Police shall only have guns.
2. No gun stores anywhere but at the police stations for when new polices get hired.
3. Guns must be outlawed EVERYWHERE because if one person outlaws it and nobody else does, then the outlaws can go somewhere else, buy the gun, and come bakc to the place where guns are outlawed!

This propisition is to tighten gun control so that only police can have them!

Ability to change resolutions

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


Category: Political Stability


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Spazania

Description: I believe it is a serious waste of time and effort to have a decent resolution with one error be completely thrown out. Can there not be a proposed resolution to change a resolution? Someone fails to define a single phrase in a resolution and the whole thing becomes invalid? The UN should be focused on doing "the right thing." The right thing is to not waste time.

If a UN nation feels that a resolution has left a loop hole, or has not be defined well enough there should be a forum on changing the resolution before voting to throw the hole thing out.

If the UN felt the resolution still was not acceptable after a forum, it could then be put to a vote in order to be thrown out.

My main point is to simply stream-line the process by which we make law. The UN is full of several pretentious nations who will find an issue with just about anything.

The middle ground is where reason lies. Let us not allow the UN to stray from this mind-set.

No individual shall cut down any tree unless permitted to by the goverment. Therefore the this resolution should be rewritten so that this loop hole shall not come up as it did in the Sam Fletcher v.

It seeks to prohibit the public demonstration of sexual acts, the distribution, sale and production of pornographic materials and provides penalties for violations.Most people would put this type of proposal in the "Moral Decency" category.

I'm confused. For one, Fox Hunting is only illegal in England, as far as I know, which doesn't exist. Learn some grammer!

1/. In all parts of the UK, I think, not just in England.
2/. It was actually made illegal in [RL] Germany by the Nazis, too, and although I don't know whether modern Germany still has that law on its books I suppose some of the more Nazi-friendly NS nations might do so...

Universal Library Justice

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Chekaslovoxia

Description: NOTING previous resolutions passed by the United Nations for the purpose of furthering education worldwide (#28 - Free Education, #54 - UN Educational Committee, #79 - Reformed Literacy Initiative), and also noting resolution #63 - Freedom of the Press,

UNDERSTANDING the limitations of the previous Global Library resolution (#86), which was repealed,

THE UNITED NATIONS -
CALLS for the formation of a Universal Library Coalition (ULC). The Universal Library provided by the ULC will be internet-based and may archive any published form of the written word including, but not limited to, fiction and nonfiction books, constitutions and laws from around the world, newspapers, magazines, and professional journals.

ACCEPTS submissions from individual member nations, in accordance with copyright laws. If the work is not in the public domain (as per resolution #60 - Public Domain), it may not be archived unless permission is obtained from the holder of the rights to the work. This individual or group will receive an annual payment in return for allowing wide access to their work.

PLACES the central server for the Universal Library within the United Nations Headquarters. The library will be indexed at minimum by author, title, nation of origin, keywords, and category, such as biography or periodical, as determined by the publisher.

GIVES each UN member nation and non-UN member nation the opportunity to participate and be a member of the ULC. Those that choose to participate will pay an annual fee to have the Universal Library made available to all internet portals within that nation. Member nations may also choose to provide content filters for their citizenry. Each participating nation may build a physical library within their borders, at their own cost. Each participating nation will maintain a backup of their national data archived within the ULC.

CREATES a ULC Executive Committee (ULCEC) consisting of fifteen (15) individuals selected from ULC member nations that are elected every three (3) years and will set annual fees that nations pay to gain access to the global library. The ULCEC will consult with other ULC nations to manage any issues related to the maintenance and operation of the ULC infrastructure that arise.

PROMOTES cultural awareness by permitting the creation of the Universal Literary Exchange Network (ULEN). Any ULC member nation may designate a section of a physical library or museum to house a rotating collection of literary works provided by other ULC nations. In exchange, they will volunteer some works from their own nation to the ULEN for no more than twenty-four (24) months at a time. The ULCEC will arrange for works to be moved from one ULC member nation to another.

DETAILS that the ULC and ULEN will be incorporated as non-profit organizations. The ULC and ULEN will be entirely funded by participating nations. No taxing authority shall be created by the passage of this resolution. Non-members are free to form their own libraries within their own borders and are in no way restricted from sharing information with other nations.

Crack-pot Law
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.


Category: Recreational Drug Use

Decision: Legalize

Proposed by: Surucucu 2

Description: In recognition of the freedom of choice, the Crack-pot law calls for the allowing of recreation drug use, and to allow possession of a maximum of 2 kilograms worth of any narcotic.

Its main issues are:

1. Prescription drugs become over-the-counter drugs so that substances, such as amphetamines, can be bought by anyone of any age to reduce queues for GPs.

2. Marijuana be grown in public gardens and allowed to be picked freely (a max. amount to be set) so as to reduce demand on supermarkets etc.

3. The correct way to snort, smoke, inject and other forms of ingesting certain drugs be taught at school, in order to prevent serious complications later in life, such as the destruction of the flesh between the nostrils. Also the dangers of driving under the influence, and when knowing enough is enough (similar to alcohol) be taught.

4. The legalization of "injecting rooms" so that those who wish to, can take narcotics in a safe environment, away from dirty and unclean places, such as the gutter.

5. The possession of a maximum of 2 kilograms worth of any narcotic (2 kilograms each) be allowed.

6. A code of practice be brought in so that detrimental elements, such as cutting agents are not used.

The benefit of the Crack-pot law is that it helps in the disestablishment of black markets. It can also be instrumental in improving both civil rights and people's perception of their lives. This law does not call for drug taking to be compulsory, but rather states that anyone who wishes to do so, can take narcotics.

Proposed by: Snake Ridge

Description: Rogue Nations has become a global problem by threatening other countries with force and also taking away the civil liberties and freedoms of their citizens. If the United Nations issues an embargo including arms and economic is like a slap in the wrist. My new proposal is to use force and overthrow dictators and sadistic rulers in the name of democracy. The use of force will not be necessarily go to the security council for a vote, an immediate action will be granted by an individual nation state. Also put these dictators and rulers on trial in a military style tribunal. If this proposal is passed, it will send a message to the rogue states that their behavior will not be tolerated. Would someone care to explain to the author that being a "Rogue Nation" is not a bad thing? And it mentions a security council, so it's illegal.

Marijuana brought us J.R. Tolkien and the Beetles, just don't get them confused with J.R.R. Tolkien and The Beatles. I also like how the author claims that this proposal is not a joke, when he can't even get names right.
Wouldn't spelling the names correctly make the proposal illegal due to real world references? :)

Repeal "The Rights of Labor Unions"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #38


Proposed by: Dittorush

Description: UN Resolution #38: The Rights of Labor Unions (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Labor should be a contract between and individual worker and his or her employer, not a collective bargaining agreement that elevates less productive workers to the same status and/or pay grade as star employees. Workers whould have to right to form unions and labor organizations, but they should not be able to use these groups to create artificially high wages and benefits for themselves. This serves to:
A) Lower the producivity and decrease the stability of their company (e.g. the American airline and auto industrys) and
B) To force out non-union workers who would gladly work for less.

These considerations aside, the most dangerous part of Resolution 38 is item 7, which states "National laws shall not be made to impair the guarantees provided for in this resolution. Laws that contradict these guarantees shall not be created or enforced." The UN should not have authority to dictate laws in any member nation. If neccesary, it could vote to impose economic sanctions on countries with suppressive work rules.

The new Rights of Labor Unions under this resolution are:

1. Workers are free to form labor unions to lobby for whatever their goup wants, be it more money, benefits, etc.

2. It shall be suggested that unions provide job training programs for members, in order to make them actually more productive workers, good for both corporations and laborers.

3. Companies shall not be bound to hire or keep unionized labor. However, it is probably in their best interest to do so (refer to item 2.)

4. Governments shall make no law restricting, encouraging, or in any way affecting unionization by workers.

5. Whether unionized or not, all workers shall be free from age, gender, religous, or other discrimination at the workplace.

RECOGNIZING: That the "oppressive minority" as referred to in some resolutions, can, in some countries be the overwhelming majority, and is in no way oppressive.

FURTHER RECOGNIZING: That the act of abortion is considered wrong by many people in certain parts of the world, and that in some cases, violent acts have been undertaken in order to stop abortions.

STATING: That if the United Nations will not allow separate referendums in each country regarding abortion, it would constitute an act of the suppression of democracy.

CITING: Section 1 of United Nations Resolution 49 “Rights and Duties of UN States”

NOTING that several pounds of MUF(Material Unaccounted For) are reported each year.

IN CONCLUSION this proves that there is a widespread, well organized black market dealing in nuclear materials.

NOTING that we live in an age when any small nation, or terrorist group for that matter, can have a nuclear weapon.

DECLARING that more drastic steps need to be taken in order to prevent a nuclear strike from any rogue third-world nation or terrorist group.

PROPOSING that stricter guidelines are set to prevent nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists.
1) All government personel dealing in nuclear materials will be awarded a bonus of some sort(up to the nation) for turning in one of their comrades if they catch someone stealing nuclear materials.
2)All government personel are required to report to the higher ups if the suspect someone of stealing nuclear materials.
3)An undercover operation be set up to investigate the nuclear black market.
4)If or when the black market is convicted, the UN will set up a coalition and move in and take down the black market.
5)After the black market is finished, the previous two protocols will remain.

Please join me in an attempt to stop terrorist making nuclear strikes. The world cannot just stand by idly and allow this to happen, and neither can I."The nuclear age ended with the turn of the millenium," it did? Why doesn't anyone tell me these things? And shouldn't this be "international security" instead of "global disarmament" as it's trying to prevent nuclear materials from falling into the hands of terrorists?

I mean honestly if they really wanted to the could go over to the local McDonald's and get a job to make some money. And that would at least be productive for our countries. But no, their day consists of collecting their welfare check and heading over to Al's Liquor store to buy the most booze for their buck. And after that they get totally shit faced. Totally Unproductive!

Here's our proposal:

We revoke welfare from citizens who do not have a permanent address

-----------------------------------------------------------

This will force the homeless to get jobs of some sort and become productive.

This will also greatly reduce our taxes

also removing dictators is the first step towards ending poverty as the money for the countries which dictators spend on the army would go into helping a countries economy and helping poor people find a foothold to start their lives outside of poverty.

Proposed by: Drago Isles

Description: Understand that some nations spend money on putting weapons in space to attack other nations.

Realize that this is a violation of other nations privacys, and security.

Think that all nations should be stopped from putting weapons into space.

The UN should be strict, and should watch nations that put space crafts into space. This ban is not here to stop nations from learning and thinking of future homes in space.

The following are types of weapons that cannot be put into space:
1)Any type of biological weapon.
2)Any type of nuclear weapon.
3)Any type of bomb.
4)Any type of Laser type weapons.
5)Or any other new weapon that could be added to this list because of new techonolgy in warfare.

We should keep space free of these things. Space should be there so we can love the stars, not fear them. That is why this ban is being put forth. Remember, space is the home of the future, not the future graveyard.Where's DLE when we need her?

Category: Human Rights


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Drago Isles

Description: Understand that the world is starting to overpopulate and rights are being violated because of it.

Propose that the UN supports nations by promoting them to start developing ideas of homes in space.(Will be called colonies).

Each nation shall be permitted to have 1 colony. NO nation shall have more than 1, or they shall be fined by the UN.

The colonies that are put into space shall not be used for things of war. No fighting shall be permitted inside a colony because of several reasons:
1)If a colony were seriously punctured, all things would be sucked into space. This follows the same principal as an airplane.
2)The colonies will promote peace not violence with other nations.

Colony's shall be able to trade with other nations as well.
Colony's are the homes of the future, and will solve the overpopulating world.Overpopulation? We've got over 4.25 billion people and no overpopulation problems. Oh and this "If a colony were seriously punctured, all things would be sucked into space. This follows the same principal as an airplane." is factually incorrect, explosive decompression, while it would occur in space, does not occur on airplanes.

Overpopulation? We've got over 4.25 billion people and no overpopulation problems. Oh and this "If a colony were seriously punctured, all things would be sucked into space. This follows the same principal as an airplane." is factually incorrect, explosive decompression, while it would occur in space, does not occur on airplanes.

Well....there is an issue of explosive decompression insofar as getting sucked out of the aircraft - most flights are at like 30,000 feet which is quite a bit lower pressure and if the leak is big enough, the pressure on the airplane can drop rapidly enough and far enough that the passengers will be unconscious (though not necessarily in a life-threatening state).

Category: Free Trade


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: The greater people

Description: To help get the LEDCs in Africa, Asia etc aswell as donating them money i think we should give them a massive boost by giving them free trade on lesser materials that aren't rare or greatly important to us. This will help start up factorys and buisnesses to earn them even more money in the furure so this is a long term plan.

The other materials that we use often or are worth alot i think we should offer to them at a discount price, the poorer the country the cheaper the resource.

It will pay them back for all the cheap labour and resources they have given us.

Just think that finally after years and years of helping and trying to get the LEDCs out of debt could be over. After all it is the 21st century!I believe that the use of Africa and Asia in this proposal is intended to refer to the RL places and therefore constitutes a RL reference thereby rendering this proposal illegal.

SUGGESTING that the answer to this problem is fire.

PROPOSING that all member nations incinerate their nuclear waste both from nuclear disarmament and nuclear power waste. All UN nations will build special buildings specifically to incinerate the toxic waste. All nations that cannot afford such a plant will receive immediate UN support.

I realize that the category that this is under(Global Disarmament) means this is a resolution to slash worldwide military spending. Well, in a way it is. If passed, this will divert money from building nuclear weapons to containing the depleted plutonium and nuclear wastes from the disarmament of those nuclear weapons. "Nuclear Weapons disarmament" when did we start doing that?

We hereby propose that the regulations governing the UN be relaxed considerably. Allow joke proposals, allow trivialities - allow us to have fun playing NS.

Oops, did I propose a change to the game mechanics? Oh, naughty me!

No doubt a moderator will sweep through this proposal, as they do any other proposal they don't like the look of, and zap it. Probably eject me from the UN too, which is pretty cool as far as I can see because it'll save me the trouble of resigning.

Defend Against Piracy

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


Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Conocia

Description: The secretary to the UN on behalf of The Republic of Conocia suggests that:

A NEW resolution be passed that takes the place of repealed resolution "The Law of the Sea.

This is named "The Right of Nations to Defend Against Piracy".

And is as follows:

RECOGNISES that "The Law of the Sea" was repealed for increasing UN beauracracy and would be IMPOSSIBLE to enforce, not least that it would require a UN navy and the UN is in the minority.

SUGGESTS that a new law be passed allowing ALL nations to defend themselves against Piracy of the High Seas.

This would INCLUDE seas in International Waters, but only those in areas that have been officially designated by the UN as Danger Zones (this prevents nations illegally extending their criminal jurisdiction).

Nations are allowed to do the following:

FORCED stop and search of ALL ships, carried out by each countries' marines or equivalent naval force.
BUT the sovereign armed forces may NOT use lethal force UNLESS they themselves are confronted with hostilities. Also, the search party must treat the passegers with utmost respect, and avoid causing any damage to possessions onboard.
IF the halted ship is found to have evidence of terrorist or international criminal activities, the search party shall:

DETAIN ALL suspects onboard, and transport them to a UN court for trial.

Notable EXCEPTIONS include:

All foreign military vessels
All diplomatic vessels or passengers with diplomatic immunity

Also, this resolution may not be used:
By countries primarily for intelligence gathering.

If ANY country is found to be using unnecessary force or showing prejudice, then the UN shall warn that country. Repeated offences shall result in the REVOCATION of that coutry's right to use reasonable force on the High Seas.

Any further violation shall count as a WAR CRIME or ILLEGAL WAR.



FINALLY, this right to combat Piracy extends to ALL nations, regardless of their membership of the UN or policies, AS LONG AS they have not been brought to trial by the UN or are partaking in action deemed to be illegal by the UN.




IN SUMMARY: this resolution shall safen the High Seas, whilst achieving minimal beauracracy as each country operates independently

Category: Moral Decency

ACKNOWLEDGING that proposed repeals are regularly proposed and occasionally even make it to quarom

NOTING that not all proposals that reach the floor of the UN to be voted upon pass

REMINDING the UN that several repeals have failed to pass the UN floor

CONSIDERING that all repeal attempts that fail to garner the support to succeed in repealing a passed resolution make it such that the resolution that is attempting to be replaced is still on the rule books

ADMITTING that it is rather humorous when someone blows on of their three strikes because of Premature Ejaculation. However,

NOTING the frustration that it might cause the moderators for having to delete their posts and

FURTHER NOTING that the UN has done its darndest to protect people from themselves

RECOGNIZES that this has already been done in the form of the Most Glorious Protocols

Repeal "Metric System "
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #24
Proposed by: Southern Tejas

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

Argument: The metric system is an excellent system of measures for scientists and scholars. However forcing an akward system of measure based upon scientific concepts upon the common man has hindered, rather than improved their quality of life.

For the carpenter, twelve (12) inches is a foot, and three (3) feet is a yard, and everything is easily divisible by three (3). A third of a meter is roughly a foot, but how many centimeters is it? 333.3333333333333333333333. Absolutely rediculous.

For the cook, there are cups, teaspoons, and ounces. All easily divided into thirds and quarters. The metric system can handle being divided by 4, but rarely 3.

These are just two examples why the Metric system, while splendid for science, makes a lousy common measurement.

I love how a third of a meter is bigger than one meter. No wonder he has issues with metric, he doesn't know the conversions

Not to mention the proposal is half-false. If a cook wants to use cups, ounces, etc - he can do so. This resolution only requires metric to be brought into all nations - it doesn't mean that old systems can't remain.

Also - what is a cook supposed to do if he wants 1/10th a cup?

Oh please

Being anti-NatSov is NOT the same as believing that anyone can force anything upon me, nor that we don't acknowledge ourselves to be at the mercy of the UN - and any stupid resolution it passes. HOWEVER, that is far different from saying that you don't want them passed or want them repealed because they violate NatSov - you want them to fail or be removed because you disagree with it, or you think it's just plain stupid (and you argue that very point). The problem with a lot of NatSov based repeals is the people act as if they think ALL resolutions that violate NatSov need to be repealed - at which point the question comes "Why are they still in the UN?"

Yes there are a lot of good answers for that question - but yours is not one of them. NatSov doesn't mean all resolutions get repealed and IntFed doesn't mean we pass any bullshit that comes our way so let's stop with that crap.

Enough already: this is meant to be a thread about silliness, not wearing pink knickers on heads.

I propose that to prevent ourselves from being faced this constant annoyance we remove this feature from the game to what it was only a year ago so that we can be free of pointless proposals.

In effect this will just take the repealling laws away from the game. But it will clear up useless beurocracy of nations that we just don't have the resources to waste in small nations such as my own.

Proposed by: His Divine Grace Dan

Description: NOTING that all sentient life feels pain

RECOGNISING that it is illegal to inflict murder on humans

ALSO RECOGNISING that it is possible for all humans to live in perfectly healthy bodies without the consuming of meat

ALSO NOTING that human beings of different races were once considered superior or inferior by law to their counterparts, but through conscienscious legislation such inequality was removed from said unjust laws

ALSO NOTING that the United Nations has a responsibility to increase the quality and quantity of civilization in humanity

ALSO NOTING that the United nation seeks to minimise unecessary pain and suffering in the world, and maximise collective happiness

SEEING NO REASON why this logic should not be Implemented on animals along with humans

BELIEVING that the only reason that meat eating is legal stems from a selfish human desire to eat meat, not a moral or rational reason, coupled with countless years of human beings eating meat turning the barbaric practice into a socially acceptable one.

PROPOSES that that all meat eating should be banned in all UN Member nations


(also notes that the said proposal will probably not gain the required support to be billed, but requests that vegetarian NS members create a union to disuss how it can become a reality- as it is a just and rational cause without a will behind it. This union should be initially started off by communication and telegramming between vegetarian nations):rolleyes:

Maybe a mom likes her son or a dad brother like his sister or dad/son or mom/daughter it is the families choice to do what they want and it should not be against the law for there family to show affection for each other. So I declare that incest should be allowed because it is the families choice on what they can and can not do.

(I believe in NatSov too.) I've sent a GHR to the mods: they'll be deleted soon. For future reference, go to this page - http://www.nationstates.net/page=help - and choose the 'Submittting Inappropriate UN Proposals' option. A good start, though, is not submitting silly proposals in the first place. If you post drafts on the forum before you submit them, we can help you improve them.

If you believe in National Sovereignty, how come you choose view where people can have sex with kids, make kids work and male chauvanism as your arguments? Those are extremely unpopular whereas you can easily garner 10% from NatSov.

I don't care what your personal beliefs are, you get labelled as a troll because of the politics you play. You chose the most objectional position to defend. That's not fighting for NatSov, that's fighting for a fight.

Proposed by: Sbear

Description: Goal: To establish international relations with the nations of the free-speaking world in an attempt to colonize Mars with representatives from every Democratic nation so that we may extend democracy into the future of our race.

While the colonization of Mars has many significant impacts on almost all the areas in human civilization today. Democracy is the key to our survival so that we do not plunge back into the Dark Ages of feudalism or convert into the fundamentally flawed capitalism or the idealistic but NEVER achieved (total) Communism.

As mentioned, going to Mars has MANY significant impacts on Earth:
- possible discovery of new natural resources
- increased interest in scientific fields
- chances for many new scientific discoveries
- the advancement of aerospace technology
- increased and encouraged international relations
- a common goal for all of humanity to finally unite as a race
- lessen the stress of overpopulation on Earth
- promote the importance of DEMOCRACY by setting up a total democratic government on Mars where most if not all decisions are voted on

While the costs of such a program might be significant. Monetary sacrifices are nothing when compared to the survival of the human race.I wonder what the nations on Mars think about this one?

Hello Delegate, I would like to ask you to endorse my proposal of the Non-Withstanding claus. This is mainly a measure because it will help stop some of the repeals done, because I'm sure we are all sick of seeing the word repeal in the United Nations list of Proposals.

Resolution: #109


Proposed by: Macrophobia

Description: UN Resolution #109: Nuclear Armaments (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: ALTHOUGH countries outside of the UN may have nuclear weapons, members of the UN are not setting a good example with doing the same. If nations feel threatened by the possibility of nuclear warfare, then steps should be taken to prevent that, not to be ready to retaliate with the same types of fearsome weapons.

BECAUSE some countries feel the need for protection, there should be one or more UN nations dedicated to defense, but the inhumanity of nuclear weapons needs to be realized, and other solutions need to be found.

EVEN though resolutions similar to these have been voted down, the threat being posed now is stronger than ever, and with that said this act;

1. DECLARES that all nuclear weapons should be disassembled and disposed of properly, without harm to the enviroment.

2. REPEALS the the "Nuclear Armaments" resolution.

3. PUTS forth the idea of UN defense centers and steps toward more humane defense in war time.You know, it's fun to find an illegal attempt to repeal a resolution you wrote.:D

Proposed by: Pauls polution planet

Description: When a natural disaster occurs the victims need help within minutes of it happening. Here is my proposal:
A-Aid will be sent and delivered to the hardest hit spots with in 3 hours after the disaster occurs. Ths Aid will be distributed by the government and not an organization.

B- The first to be helped are the most affected and not women and children. The decision will be based on who needs help most.

C-All UN nations will donate 30.5 million dollars to the affected region (s)

D- Government to double evry contribution made by the citizens through orginizations.OK, let's see here. A disaster occurs on the opposite side of the world and we need to have aid there within 3 hours, yeah right.:rolleyes:

Decent intentions, but "imported goods outnumbering exported goods"? Damn, I cannot think of a good joke to make about this. Help requested.

I loved the fact that he claimed it to be mild.

This one is my favorite for this round:

Repeal "'RBH' Replacement"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #20


Proposed by: Xagravia

Description: UN Resolution #20: 'RBH' Replacement (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Whereas Required Basic Healthcare has been rejected by member nations,

Whereas a reference-document resolution is unnecessary due to its lack of enforcement and is a thinly veiled attempt at resurrecting a dead issue,

Given that Required Basic Healthcare does not allow each member state to devise and execute its own health care policy,

It is hereby proposed that the RBH Replacement is repealed.

Description: Proposal: i propes that we ban all/to most repeals of UN resolution which have been already passed.

Reason: Most UN resolutions are normally passed and then a short time later ppl want to repeal them. So by doing this, it'll make the members of the UN who vote on these resolutions think more clearly and choose more wisely about whether they want to actually pass a resolution or not.

Result: from this we should have a more assertive UN

*notes the title is Silly Proposals, not illegal proposals

Why do I think its funny, because it completely ignores the history of the two. UNR 20 was basically a repeal and replace attempt on UNR 17 - only they didn't have a repeal function at the time. Thus, they used what I think was one of the more brilliant ideas of the era and turned UNR 17 into a reference document. It was the only way to address the lack of repeal function. When we finally did get the repeal function, we did repeal UNR 17, but the statement in UNR 101 (the repealing document) was that since it had already BEEN replaced, let's finally clear it out of our history. Thus, if you're going to repeal UNR 20, you should do it for what it addresses in terms of healthcare, etc, not the politics surrounding it (hence that one NatSov argument I think is the only valid argument in his proposal).

Nah, just silly ones. Granted, most silly ones are illegal, but illegality isn't required. Likewise, just posting illegal proposals isn't really the point either. Proposals with real world violations are rarely silly, for instance.

Rights of Unborn Children

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Xercelon

Description: The United Nations,

Observing that unborn children (fetuses) show sentient characteristics at the moment of conception,

Respecting United Nations Resolution #61, 'Abortion Rights',

Recognizing that all women have the right to choose to have an abortion,

Reaffirming United Nations Resolution #26, 'The Universal Bill of Rights', which states that "All human beings have the right to express themselves through speech and through the media without any interference", and that "All human beings must not be subjected to torture or to cruel or inhuman treatment or punishment",

Noting that a human's right of free speech is first exercised at birth or shortly thereafter, and that the method in which abortions occur is torturous, cruel, and inhumane towards the unborn child,

1. Confirms that life begins at conception

2. Declares that no harm may be inflicted upon a child being aborted

3. Resolves that if a child dies or endures any pain as a result of being aborted, the mother and those who perform the operation shall be prosecuted and charged with murder of the first degree

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy

Description: Nowadays, in days of terrorism and nuclear threats, we have to offer economic and political co-operation to totalitarian countries in order to persuade them of democracy. It is NOT the aim of this proposal to fight against dictatorships. But there must be an incentive for totalitarian nations to declare their belief in democracy. We should tackle the problem with determination.

I am sure this does something significant, I just can't find it.

Delightful. :rolleyes:

Future of Democracy and Mars
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Sbear

Description: Goal: To establish international relations with the nations of the free-speaking world in an attempt to colonize Mars with representatives from every Democratic nation so that we may extend democracy into the future of our race.

While the colonization of Mars has many significant impacts on almost all the areas in human civilization today. Democracy is the key to our survival so that we do not plunge back into the Dark Ages of feudalism or convert into the fundamentally flawed capitalism or the idealistic but NEVER achieved (total) Communism.

As mentioned, going to Mars has MANY significant impacts on Earth:
- possible discovery of new natural resources
- increased interest in scientific fields
- chances for many new scientific discoveries
- the advancement of aerospace technology
- increased and encouraged international relations
- a common goal for all of humanity to finally unite as a race
- lessen the stress of overpopulation on Earth
- promote the importance of DEMOCRACY by setting up a total democratic government on Mars where most if not all decisions are voted on

While the costs of such a program might be significant. Monetary sacrifices are nothing when compared to the survival of the human race.

Gender desegregation
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: GFAC

Description: Motion to end segregation based on gender. It is just as harmful as the racial segregation we conquered not too long ago. All restrooms, random dorm assignments, locker rooms, etc. should be completely gender blind.

This will have a great positive impact on the world's human rights. It will be beneficial for not only transgender people who are often unwelcome in both the men's and woman's restrooms, but it will create a better world for people of all genders.

Remember, there is no such thing as "separate but equal". Segregation is inherently unequal.

The Strategy will not achieve its objectives of international competitiveness, economic, social and environmental progress and sustainable development
The Strategy proposes a "cooperative development" approach, which, at institutional level, would take the form of reinforced coordination to secure renewed economic growth in the World.

Reinforce Coordination of work of the Nations.
International level is crucial to delivering the reforms, particularly those designed to improve education and training, labour market performance, and also social protection systems, whilst ensuring they are sustainable.

To succeed, the strategy must not only secure the genuine commitment of the UN institutions and Member States, but must also:

– be properly understood and accepted by the public, which means raising its profile and improving its credibility;
– involve the socio-occupational players in participatory democracy.

– helping to develop public dialogue, directly involving civil society representatives

Other that , make a strong campaign of advertising of social justice and human right

-Ever since the civil rights movement, European Americans have been harshly discriminated against in nations abroad. The creation of a Martin Luther King Day, and Black History Month show a complete lack of respect for the white race. If blacks can have their days/months to express representation, whites should have their own specific time for teaching of European/White culture.
-To all those who say that every day is white history day, that is a completely absurd statement that undermines the equality that they themselves fight for. Whites have never been specifically honored with a day or month, people must stand up for equality and have pride in the white race.When did the UN establish a black history month?

Noting that the primary goal of the United Nations is to bring peace and order to the world, not to support one system over the other:

1. Repeals all former accepted proposals urging for the furthering of democracy or more political freedom to the populace.

2. Will place heavy tarrifs on all goods exported from existing democracies within the UN; as much money will be needed to keep a UN military presence there to keep the corrupt populace in line since the government will not.

3. Will give additional military and financial support to nations with a benign government in either the form of a Council or a true dictatorship.Where to start with this one?
