Global Currency

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: United Badlands

Description: NOTED THAT a currency difference between nations restricts free trade and the ability to do business on an international level.
IN ADDITION this difference of currency values allows "first world" nations to take advantage of those with lesser developed economies, through measures such as governmental loans and cheap labor.
AND FINALLY that this difference in essence quashes opportunity to rise from economic slump and participate in a conceivable fashion in global trade
it is HEREBY stated that all nations must recognize a STANDARD CURRENCY that has worldwide, rather than national, value, and that ALL UN MEMBERS must adhere to this currency conversion WITHIN 24 months after passage of this act. UN members are responsible for orchestrating their currency change on their own.
If the countries in this organization are to be truly United, then they cannot be separated by difference of coin.

I think this breaks some rule or another, but even if it didn't, how can we change to a standard currency when the author failed to tell us what that currency is?

Repeal "Metric System "

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #24


Proposed by: Nonviolent Jews

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

Argument: UN Resolution 24 is a hateful resolution that tramples on the religious rights of many states.

Within the Armed Republic of Nonviolent Jews our local measurement system is an integral part of our state run religion. The measurements we used were handed down to us by God 2.0 at Sinai Casino 3,000 years ago. To throw away our god-given measurement system would disgrace our lord.

Therefore, Resolution 24 should be repealed so as to promote the religious freedom of all states whose measurement systems are part of their theocratic dogma.

Approvals: 3 (NewTexas, Desert Storm Iraq, Dorksonia)

Voting Ends: Fri Jan 27 2006
I've seen lots of repeal attempts against the metric system but never religion before. At least it's something new and different from the usual boring old nat sov rant.

Description: You are aloud to go to the United States army when you 18. But you are only aloud to drink when your 21. If you could fight for your country when your 18...you should be able to have a drink when your 18 to.

To make sure they are mature enough, they will take a test given from the government about alchohal. People say that when your 18 you a young adult. A adult should be able to have a drink.Illegal RL reference, not to mention the atrocious spelling.

Proposed by: Crazy Leftists

Description: Fully aware that there are deplorable human rights abuses taking place around the world involving the trafficking of persons,

Acknowledging that the international community has been lax in its enforcement of already instated, internationally recognized laws prohibiting human trafficking,

Taking into account that the international community has been making numerous attempts in recent years to reverse aforementioned trends involving a lack of law enforcement and to halt human rights abuses as depicted by trafficking,


1. Aims to raise awareness for the inhumane establishment that is human trafficking,

2. Condemns human trafficking in all its forms,

Industry Affected: Woodchipping


Proposed by: The Dead Angels

Description: THE PROBLEM,

The destruction of our forests leads to many negative environmental impacts. The destruction of our forests leaves millions of animals without homes or food. Clear cutting often leads to massive soil erosion which destroys countless streams and rivers. Killing whatever lives in those rivers and streams. Trees vital for keeping our air clean, and providing us with oxygen. If we cut down all of our trees then we lose a major source of oxygen on our planet.

ACKNOWLEDGING that we must protect our forests for several very important reasons. Forests provide homes for animals, and provide food for animals. The forests help protect soil from erosion especially on hills and mountain sides. We need our trees for clean air, and to maintain a vital source of oxygen. Not to mention that protecting our forests and green spaces we are able to maintain some semblance of wilderness and to keep the natural beauty. Many of our forests provide many great opportunities for recreational opportunities.

THEREFORE,

I PROPOSE the following solutions to this problem. Lumber companies in all nations MUST practice the principles of sustainable forestry. This means that clear cutting would be illegal and strictly enforced. If a lumber company is caught clear cutting then they will have to pay a fine of $50,000, and if they are caught again they will lose their license to harvest trees. Companies have to rotate the areas they cut, and have to replace the trees they cutdown with trees that are native to the area. If this proves to be a financial burden for a lumber company then they may apply to their government to recieve funds to alleviate this burden. Also, companies not currently practicing sustainable forestry will have 6 months to put into effect sustainable practices.

The UN will annually donate to each nation a sum of money that is 10% of that nations revenue from the harvesting of trees. A UN comittee will be established to oversee the disbursement of these funds. The comittee will be composed of 9 officials. They will be 3 environmental policy makers, 3 officials on sustainable forestry, and 3 environmental scientists.

If a lumber company is proven to have followed these regulations for at least one year then they will be eligible for tax breaks in their respective country. The tax breaks are to be determined by that nation.Aren't the resolutions we already have about trees enough?

No, absolutely not! You can never do enough for the trees!

I like this line too:

If everybody has "conflicting agendas", then who are these "many" mentioned in there? And who is it that "runs" the UN anyway, but everybody in it?

Oh, and that it says "FACT: THE UN SUCKS."
Who needs rationality?
:D

Restriction of Repeals Act

Description: In an effort to curb the influence of volatile, radical trends and preserve the laws which we hold sacrosanct, I propose the below restrictions on Repeal Proposals and Resolutions. It is far too easy and fashionable to repeal UN Resolutions, hence, one cannot help but expect the absurdly large quantity of Repeal Proposals and general waste of legislative time. These Repeal Proposals and Resolutions are often insulting to the very integrity of the UN and repudiate the values on which it was founded, and it is thus that I propose the following.

Noting:

1. The importance and necessity of repealing UN Resolutions unfit for execution.


Given:

1. The staggering number of Proposals to repeal important UN Resolutions in recent months.

2. The alarming ease with which UN Resolutions can be repealed.

3. The arbitrary and capricious nature of most Repeal oriented Proposals.

4. The slow, but steady erosion of vital civil liberties that protect the citizens of UN Nation States by Repeal Proposals under the guise of Nation State sovereignty.

5. The diminishment of UN jurisdiction by frivolous Repeal Proposals by proponents of Nation State sovereignty.


Hereby Mandates:

1. All Repeal Proposals require 12% approval by the Regional Delegates to achieve quorum.

2. All Repeal Resolutions require a 60% majority approval by UN Nation States to take effect.

SPAM Prevention Act
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Kevin Island

Description: A resolution to eliminate the burdens and costs associated with e-mail spam by prohibiting the transmission of all UCE mail to persons who place their electronic mail addresses on an international No-Spam Registry, and to prevent fraud and deception in commercial electronic mail.

Be it enacted by the United Nations:

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Resolution may be cited as the `SPAM Resolution'.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Kevin Islands finds the following:

(1) Electronic mail is an increasingly valuable tool for personal and commercial communication. Unsolicited commercial electronic mail (UCE), commonly known as SPAM , however, has become an impediment to efficient electronic mail use and creates problems for all types of users and organizations, including Internet Service Providers, individual users, and corporate organizations.

(2) UCE often contains objectionable, fraudulent, and offensive content. Kevin Islands reports that over 60 percent of all UCE contains false, misleading, or deceptive information. Nearly one-fourth contains sexually explicit imagery. Parents have little ability to prevent these images from reaching their child's electronic mail in-box.

(3) Consumers increasingly ignore or delete legitimate commercial messages as they face an ever increasing amount of UCE. If the vitality and force of the Internet and electronic mail are to be preserved as a tool for commercial communication, UCE must be curbed.

(4) UCE is also a severe financial concern. Lost productivity, increased spending on technology systems and personnel, and personal frustration are some of the costs associated with UCE.

(5) Despite the increasing deployment of anti-spam services and technology, the number and size of spam messages are growing faster than ever. In 1999, the average electronic mail user received just 40 pieces of UCE per year. In 2003, the number is expected to pass 2,500. Experts estimate as much as 70 percent of electronic mail traffic qualifies as UCE.

(6) Existing anti-spam service solutions alone are insufficient to stop the growth of spam . Despite the fact that Internet Service Providers spend millions of dollars each year on research, filtering and other anti-spam software, and larger servers to deal with the ever expanding volume of UCE, current technology alone cannot control the spam problem.

(7) Laws does not specifically address UCE and leaves law enforcers and consumers with inadequate redress for the problem.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Resolution are to--
(1) preserve electronic mail as a vital tool in interstate commerce by--
(A) reducing the costs associated with UCE;
(B) reducing the amount of UCE; and
(C) eliminating false, misleading, and deceptive content in all commercial electronic mail; and
(2) give consumers control over their in-boxes.
(A) to reaffirm the nation's right to complain against any SPAM sender/s.

SEC. 4. UN ACTION
The UN and its member nations shall be tasked to enforce SPAM Prevention through their complaints about the said problem. The UN member nations shall develop vigilance in SPAM Prevention to fully curtail this illegal activity.

Repeal "Metric System "
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #24
Proposed by: Imperial Ravensburg

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

Argument: The United Nations,

OBSERVING that non-UN members outnumber UN members 3 to 1,

ASSERTING that the attempts of inforcing the "Metric System" caused the UN to claim jurisdiction over other nations are misguided, impractical, and illegal,

APPALLED at the extensive bureaucracy created by the "Metric System", which would be largely rendered ineffectual by the presence of non-UN navies, and the lack of legislation governing relations between these and UN navies,

DEPLORING that forcing a single system of measurment is ingnorant of other lands cultures and traditions,

DEPLORING the statement the the Metric system is "far superior", again showing ingnorance,

DISBELIEVING the Science of all nations has converted to the Metric System and poor nations would benifit as it will cost lage sums of money to convert all national systems,

FULLY CONDEMNING The "Metric System" for attempting to assert UN jurisdiction over international territory:

1. REPEALS "Mertic System";

2. IMPLORES the General Assembly to allow all nations to choose there own system of measurements.
I'm attempting to understand exactly what the presence of non-UN navies has to do with the metric system. So far I haven't come up with anything.

Also, if the UN isn't allowed a say over matters of "international territory", who is? Isn't the basic idea of NatSov about how the UN should keep to international affairs?

Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Big brown things

Description: We would like to begin by providing a background to this proposal. We come from a region known as the Global Region for Free Trade a fastly emerging region full of emerging nations of a vast (in size that is) and hugely varying (Forms of Government) variety.

We would like to bring to your attention the successful crime prevention programme implimented by the Federation of Perfetic Weasels whos new programme of crime prevention has resulted in a complete end to Crime within the Nation.

This programme we believe should be endorsed by the UN as a form of inter connected crime prevention strategy in the prevention of illegal immigration, drug trafficing and terrorism. Outlined below is our suggestion to the UN in using the existing technology and legislation used by the Weasels to the benefit of all mankind.

First we should use the idea within a reasonable sphere of Human Rights. The idea of implanting chips naturally is anti-thetical to this sphere however a system where by an individual has to use a code to make any transaction would do the same job as a chip and would prevent fraud and money laundering as only the individual would legally be allowed to know the code.

This is in many ways an expansion of the existing Chip and Pin legislation only in this legislation the State i conjunction with the UN would decide the code and an individual would have the same code for everything: credit, banking, etc.

We the people of Big Brown Things hereby submit this to your attention for debate. Multiple branding violations here.

Proposed by: Jiberqaz

Description: The U.N. realizing that Digital Entertainment Piracy is running rampant should reintroduce regional encoding on Digital Media Formatted Discs (DVD, Blue Ray, HD DVD, etc).
This proposal would correct actions taken by this body when, for no reason, it voted to remove the regional codings from Digital Media (Resolution #5 and #125 which repealed previously stated resolution)

A: There was equipment before that allowed Region-less access to Digital Media regardless of encoding properties from said formatted discs, and there will be again.

B: Removing the regional encoding has allowed unlimited circulation of media, causing in some cases social unrest and outrage, not including rioting from a misinterpreted "Moc-umentary"

Regretting
C: The only reason that this resolution seems to have been passed was to help circulation from special interest groups in the Adult Entertainment Industry (All other entertainment was sold in multiple regions to begin with)

D: That it would cause a boost in the manufacturing and exports of some companies who manufacture Region-less Media Readers (Formatting for Blue Ray, HD DVD, DVD, UMD, SACD, etc.) causing economic benefits in the form of Import and Sales taxes.

E: That the populace would have to purchase separate equipment if they do not already own it. Someone needs to reread what resolution #5 did until it was repealed.

Proposed by: Superiala

Description: This Assembly,

Calls upon all nations to have their Internet services regulated by a UN department. This in term will mean that domain name servers and IP-pools will be controlled externally by the United Nations if a dispute should take place. This also means that Internet top-level domains can be distributed to their rightful owners. In stead of being sold to the highest bidder, because the suffix sound cool in English. This opens up more local trade in domain names and web-space. And thus creates technology jobs in countries which are underdeveloped. Also a UN-controlled Internet gives more privacy to the net user.
This resolution is also to prevent Internet misuse by countries who make money out of practices such as spamming, spoofing and fraud. Countries not prosecuting spammers could be fined or even cut-off from the internet. This could save millions in terms of data-traffic. Also a UN organisation of professionals could boast the advancement of new Internet technology such as IPv6 and other things alike.

We feel that the Internet should be a part of services controlled by the UN, just as the IMO controls the commercial shipping and the IATA/ICAO controls commercial aviation.

Unless we do something now, many nations wull become dependent on this fuel and later would be reluctant to change. Another problem with the continuation of "nuclear fuel" is that it hurts UN RESOLUTION 18 which assures a cleaner environment and advancement of new energies.

Resolution: #18


Proposed by: Roundhousekickistan

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

Argument: Resolution does make several good points about Hydrogen vehicles and the environmental effects of them. It is obvious that they are easier on the outdoors that we all treasure.

However, these vehicles have a definite downside. Water, what hydrogen is made of, is immensley cheaper and easier to get than petroleum. For the sake of our economies, hydrogen cars must not be mandetory. The petroleum industry is a staple in most societies, and if they are removed or hindered, the economy will suffer.

Instead, we must be more conservative with petroleum. Vehicles will be made that get more miles to the gallon. This will greatly reduce emissions and also be less hard on the environment.Hydrogen is made out of water, huh.

Proposed by: Ferria

Description: WHEREAS, the spacial body currently designated as "Pluto" is substantially smaller than all other bodies considered to be planets, and

WHEREAS, much international law rests on the specific definitions of terms, and

WHEREAS, the colonization and exploration of space is certain to play an ever-larger role in nations the whole world over,

BE IT RESOLVED by the United Nations here assembled that: "Pluto" is hereafter deigned to not be a planet, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that "Pluto" is therefore exempt from all international law regarding planets. So, who wants to tell them (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=pluto) that there no longer a planet?

So, who wants to tell them (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=pluto) that there no longer a planet?

Did they actually declassify it? I heard that they acknowledge Pluto no longer meets the requirements, but that they chose to keep it classified as a planet since it is understood by so many as being a planet.

But that was like....4 years ago....

Did they actually declassify it? I heard that they acknowledge Pluto no longer meets the requirements, but that they chose to keep it classified as a planet since it is understood by so many as being a planet.Its official designation hasn't changed, and will probably never change. It's on the cusp of the Kuiper belt, but there's no hard and fast rules on what is and isn't a planet. Hell, they can't even completely designated between a Brown Dwarf star and a supermassive Jupiter-like planet.

Sedna doesn't change anything. It's smaller than Pluto and far enough out to be a member of the Oort Cloud with an orbit that ranges from 76 to 928 AU (lil' lopsided, hey?)

"Xena" is the biggest risk to Pluto's standing as Xena is further out and larger than Pluto, but nobody's sure if it should count as a planet. Of course, if it doesn't count, then Pluto is at a greater risk of losing its status as a planet, unless they incorporate a maximum distance for planets that Pluto is within.

No offence to MB, really, but seeing this on the UN happenings just made me laugh so hard:

NOTING that the wording of this document prevents any restrictions from being placed on any new weapons thay might be developed in the future.

ENCOURAGES the repeal of this resolution that gives states much too broad capabilities for contructing weaponry.Apparently the authors didn't take the time to realize that the UNSA has one of the easiest work-arounds ever in a UN resolution.

Christian theocracies , for example , religiously believe in the violent punishment of pedophiles .

Uranium is used for nuclear energy purposes,furthermore, it takes 200 years for the radioactivity to level.

Some Nations have economic interest with Uranium fuel and are not willing to spend money for new fuel. I propose the following.
1.Uranium Mining be outlawed
2.Subsidies for scientific research, new fuel, and a better way to dispose of the already existing Uranium.

Category: International Security


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Utilitarius Maximus

Description: In an effort to combat security threats to the U.N. and its members, a proposition is now being brought up which requires the following:

-A United Nations military will be created to provide for the welfare and security of all member nations
-The newly created military will be headed by 5 generals. Each of the five generals will be picked from their individual nations. The five nations with the largest military may send one general to lead the U.N. military.
-Member nations must contribute 10% of their military force to the U.N. military. Those who were formally serving for their nation's military but are reassigned to the United Nations military are not under the jurisdiction of their home nation.
- Those conscripted to UN military service are to serve 2 years during peace time and 4 years during a time of war. At the completion of their service, U.N. military members will return to their home nation's military.
- Member nations may have militaries of their own but must realize that with the UN military in place, the national militaries are to be used in conjunction with the police to provide internal law and order.

As the United Nations should be working as one coherent body, so should the military strength of the nations within it. With the formation of the United Nations Military, all member nations will be protected by a singular military force that will be in the best interests of the United
Nations and the members within it. The centralization of the United Nations' military forces will allow for a more organized fighting force and more military success should conflict reach a nation of the United Nations. Read the rules.

Repeal "Free education"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal

Resolution: #28

Proposed by: Union Canada

Description: UN Resolution #28: Free education (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #28 (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant)shall be struck down and rendered void.

UN resolution #28 is commendable because it provides the chance for free education to be brought to all students who want to get an education.

However, it should be repealed because it is too broad in its one line statement that all students under 18 should have free education. There should be another resolution created to ensure that there are standards and quidelines to be followed by U.N nations but still allow them to do 'Free Education' through there own systems, but to ensure that there are no loop holes or wiggle room for nations to squeeze by, so they can't provide Free Education if a new resolution is created.

Why this resolution should be repealed is that:

(1) There are no standards set out by this resolution for individual UN nations.
(1a) For example there are no standards to what kind of education these students need to receive, even if they are inadequate to get an adequate education

(2) Some nations are not able because of their economic situation to pay for Free Education for people below 18. This resolution doesn't make mention to that.

(3) The resolution is unclear about which level of education should be provided for free under the age of 18.

(4) Some United Nations nations have non-human species that may not have the same lifespan as a human. And Free Education resolution makes no mention of any kind of free education for these species.

Description: We as a global community must put a foot forward to extinguish the use and production of Nuclear Weapons. Having these weapons of mass destruction will cause those that have them to use them if forced to. This has dire consequences such as Nuclear winter and total Armmageddon.

We should strive to do these things:

1. Disarm and destroy all nuclear weapons including those in production.

2. Shut down their manufacturing plants.

3. Ban the use of nuclear materials that are not for providing power in Nuclear Powerplants and used in powering space-crafts and space vehicles for the use in space exploration and colonization.

Resolution: #64


Proposed by: Fleurs de Soliel

Description: UN Resolution #64: Tracking Near Earth Objects (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: I agree the global community should work in conjunction with each other to share information relating to potential hazardous trajectories that may result in global destruction. However, near earth objects (ie.comets and asteroids)that may POTENTIALLY collide with the earth does not require additional amounts of spending and the boosting of military and police budgets. We have far too much need right at home here on our planet. One only has to examine the continued spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS (epidemic in several regions of our world) and the inability of many nations to obliterate poverty and starvation amongst our most vulnerable world citizens. Perhaps the creation of less "space junk" in the form of bans on technological waste (ie. satellite refuse)could be considered and legislative responses formulated. We need only look around us to see threats to our continued survival here on earth, much less waste our time on threats from the galaxies within our vast universe. Instead of promoting a culture of fear, in terms of planetary defense requirements, it would be far more beneficial to spend more of our resources on caring for the "needy" in our global village.:rolleyes:

A ban on offensive weapons would allow all nations to reduce their armies to a small defense-only force and save a great deal of money in so doing.

Therefore, a ban on all purely offensive weapons shall be established. All such weapons in existence shall be scraped or destroyed.

All money saved due to cuts in military spending shall be used to shift industries away from such weapons and then, after said transition is complete, to developing industry to make up for any economic backlash.

NB: Nuclear weapons are not strictly offensive due to second-strike abilities and their status will be unaffected.Well, it's a good thing that nuclear weapons are unaffected as if they were then this one would contradict Nuclear Armaments.

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


Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Outlaw
Proposed by: Only1rebel

Description: imagine a teenager indroduced to drugs at his highschool, do we want the future of our country to be surrounded by a substance that harms(kills as well) many men and female? but its getting out of control! the drug market is a problem not only for a humans health but for the local law enforcement, these drug dealers are bringing in many gang wars and fights.
Tobacoo is a many favoured "drug" among many people including some of you. so here is my proposal:

1. BANNING of harmful drugs with the exception of medical drugs
2. Raising more law enforcement to stop these drug wars.
3. raising of the age of tobacoo products.

1. Drugs kill many men and female. There isn't a smilie to express the idiocy of that sentence.

2. Where does one draw the line between harmful and medical drugs? Medical drugs can be just as harmful if overdosed or used incorrectly.

3. Raising the age of tobacco products? No! I won't smoke anything that's over 3 years old!

Proposed by: Maddys

Description: The creation of an International Organization of Democracy is crucial to increase democratic freedoms.
This organization should be created in order to gather all democratic countries and fight for common interests against dictature.

3) All members should defend democracy and vote/make proposals that they think being good for each and every democratic member;

4) Members should NOT offend dictature nations or its politicians, we want to make in a pacific way.


Concluding this, the IOD, if used with sense of citizenship and freedom will definitely contribute to an increase of democratic values in all world, all regions, all nations so we can protect each other from dictature and one day, who knows, end with it.Gee, does this mean that we should have written a proposal before forming the NSO?

Proposed by: The Wandering Nomads 2

Description: This proposal recognizes that the smallest functioning human has equal rights.

Having an abortion before the first 40 days is murder. That is when the embryo starts to have brain waves. Which, if you don't what that means. It means that the baby is alive and functioning.

But, 18 days into the pregnancy the baby starts to have it's own blood. So, it would be killing a person in a vegetable state after that. Since, Euthanasia is legal, and the pregnant woman is fine with it then I belive she should could get an abortion.

This proposal...

1. Limits the time to have an abortion up to 40 days after conception.

2. Acknowledges that if you want an abortion that you should get it 18 days after conception.

3. Reminds that the consequences of an abortion.

4. Says that abortion after 40 days is murder and the performer of the abortion, and the mother of the unborn child should be tried for murder in a legal court.

4b. Unless, the mother had an abortion unwillingly and someone tricked her and performed the abortion, or held her against her will and performed the abortion while she was held down or sleeping.For crying out loud, there are already two abortion proposals in the queue, both of which are better writen than this one.

Article 2
UNATO is free to operate in all UN member states provided that all UNATO operations are carried out with the full knowledge and co-operation of the respective member states or states.

Article 3
UNATO can only carry out operations in non-UN member states with the express permission of the state in question and the regional delegate to the UN (if applicable).

Article 4
UNATO will be provided with its own HQ and facilities for centralisation and accountability to the UN.

Article 5
A Director will be head of UNATO and will be appointed by UN Security Council for a two-year term and is fully accountable for UNATO and its actions during his/her period of office.

Article 6
If during operations UNATO apprehends terrorism suspects then UNATO has the full authority to interrogate those suspects provided they do not infringe any UN Resolution during interrogation.

Article 7
All states, regardless of status, may put any reservation about the activities of UNATO to the Security Council and the UN must investigate those complaints.

Article 8
UNATO may withhold information for a period of five years if it is likely to put the lives of UNATO workers at risk from terrorist reprisals.

Finally, UNATO is essentially and centralisation of covert operations of UN member states in order to effectively counter the pernicious spread of global terrorism and the dangers that it poses to civilisation. This proposal has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

DRAWING UPON United Nations Resolution #19, "Religious Tolerance", ensuring worldwide human tolerance and a greater understanding of all faiths,

IN AGREEMENT WITH the United Nations Resolution #26, "The Universal Bill of Rights", article 1, stating: All human beings have the right to choose to worship any faith, and to change their religious beliefs at any time without punishment on the part of the state,

DEFINING the separation of Church and State as necessary legislation to protect the freedoms of the individual by denying the Government the right to regulate, endorse or put into action any bill, law, judiciary decision that has religious foundations,

NOTING that enforcing a Secular Government would be imperative to protecting the individual freedom of religion and ensuring that legislation passed remains UNBIASED and UNPREJUDICED against any one faith,

ADVISING that the lessons of history be reflected upon, which reminds us of civil unrest, persecution, wars,individual bloodshed and conflict of individual interests which results in stripping the individual of aforementioned "Basic Human Rights" as defined above,

PROPOSES that the Separation of Church and State be fully enforced in all government decisions including but not limited to

Proposed by: Aaron Graf

Description: Women for too long have experienced the horrible side effects of backwards ultra-religious nations trying to control their uteruses. This bill seeks to eliminate certain myths told, the following are listed below:

* That abortion causes breast cancer- Actually there was a study done in Denmark which keeps accurate medical records of all it's citizens and found that abortion has no significant link to breast cancer.


* Post Abortion Stress Syndrome- This is not even a psychological term, if you check the the American Psychological Association you will find it is not. The term was created by radical religious groups trying to instill fear into women seeking abortion. Although this has been the most widely believed. Ronald Reagan tried getting his like-minded surgeon General C. Everett Koop to do a study to find women who had suffered from abortions. To everybody's surprise, they found no significantly large number of bad psychological effects relating to abortion, the main emotion they found was relief and those women who they did find who had psychological repurcussions already had their own problems beforehand

* A big lie told by anti-choicers is that teenage girls do not yet know what to do with their reproductive organs and should have parental consent in order to have an abortion. - Teenage girls are the most vulnerable in the world, particularly minorities. It is hypocritical to impose parental consent laws for teenage girls seeking abortions. The underlying argument behind this is that a parent should control their child. Yes this may be true, but in situations where that child could become a parent, her parents should have no say in this case. And the court bypass usually doesn't work.

This bill seeks to do things not only for womens rights to have an abortion but also to require governments to provide free day care for poor women who seek to carry a pregnancy to term. The following will be listed:

1. The Morning After Pill should be sold over the counter to anybody seeking it who had unprotected sex, especially if they are victims of rape.

2. That all forms of birth control be available cheap in all drug stores and covered in all prescription plans.


3. No government can outlaw or limit abortion rights. Abortion is not allowed to be forced, nor will it be allowed to be something to take away. Through all terms of the pregnancy, and for whatever reason, a decision regarding a womans body should be left between her and her physician.

4. All nations who have abortion legalized can no longer take part in descriminatory "parental notification/consent laws". If a girl does not want to tell her parents about being pregnant, it says something about her parents, not the girl.

5. For low income women who become pregnant, but wish to bring a child to term, all governments within the UN body should do the following things. 1. Provide free medical care throughout the pregnancy for this woman 2.

Urges the return to normalized conditions between Greek and Turkish Cypriot Communities.
Urges the removal of the green zone and all other barriers limiting freedom of movement and freedom of trade between the northern and southern regions of Cyprus and the re-opening of Nicosia International Airport.
Urges the dismantlement of the Turkish Cypriot regime and the formation of a federal government representative of the rights and interests of all Cypriot people.

Stop the UN Tyranny A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Turtleback

Description: Recognizing:

That the need for a global governing body is essential to the welfare and well being of all nations, both member and non-member.

-AND-

That such a body must have power to decide upon legislation both by means of vote of the members, and the penultimate step of deciding which pieces of proposed legislation are suitable for vote

Grieving
That only delegates have the power to submit proposals in areas where delegates do not always, if at all, honor the requests of their regions.

-AND-

The untimely death of proposed legislation for the further causes of gender equality, which the UN claims to have previously enshrined

We propose
That any active member nation of the UN (active being defined as voting on more than 1/2 of all legislation from the time of acceptance into the UN until 20 votes for a nation have been recorded) be given the right to submit proposals

-AND-

That the UN:
A) give readily accessible proof of the enshrinement of the equality of gender and race
-AND-
B) allow proposed legislation that seeks to further emphasize said equality, ESPECIALLY when the aforementioned enshrinement of equality laws is unclear to member nations.

Ban on high powered weapons
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: Nikocujo

Description: While gun control has been a hot topic over the years, Neither side can can stable footing in the fight to arm or disarm. Should Assault/ .50 Caliber rifles be banned to Cicilians. Once and for all, should the right to own a high powered weapon be a given right or should the government give clearence to civilians after complete background checks?

1. Over time it has become easier and easier to purchase high powered rifles without the written express of the government.

2. However, a man has the right to bear arms to protect himself or his family in a time of crisis or to protect his land.

3. The guns that would be included are the following:

Offensive weapons - machine guns, short barreled rifles (less than 16" in length) and shotguns (barrels less than 18" in length or overall length less than 26"), other weapons which fire a projectile and have a barrel 6/10th of an inch or greater in diameter, bombs, grenades, mines, poison gas, rockets with more than four ounces of propellant, ballistic knives, exploding shells and similar items.

Dangerous weapons - devices designed primarily for use in inflicting death or injury including, but not limited to, offensive weapons, pistols, revolvers, other firearms, daggers, razors, stilettos, switchblade knives, or any knife with a blade exceeding five inches.


Which is it, should governments strike down a right to men to ensue safety, or are basic rights and privelages ripped away from people a breech of the right to arm himself?

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Quiland

Description: I call for this body to exercise it's power and forcebally remove from power nations with despotic rulers of and race, color, or creed, who violate human rights in any manner, way, shape, or form.
1. This resoulution would allow the creation of a UN coalition of willing nations who will rid the world of genocidal despots
2. Military action would only be considered or used in the situation of a 2/3's vote for it in the newly created security council
3. This law would create a UN Security Council, that would be made up of all willing UN member nations who wish to sit on it, and the council would be the UN watchdog on global security and vote to authorize or not authorize by a 2/3's vote either way, military action against a nation percived as a threat by the council.
4. This bill would also request from Max Barry and Nation States, the creation of a war section of the game Nation States so this global security aspect of or world could be played out for real.

In Conclusion the Creation of UN Security Council Bill, will empower the UN to look out for nations who can't look out for themselves, to overthrow genocidial leaders, and allow us to play out war situations on this already faboulous Nation States game

2. ACCEPTING that sales tax on food is a useful way for governments to raise revenue, particularly on luxury items thereof;

3. NOTING the absence of any measures in resolution #130 to ensure food is healthy and of good quality, hence allowing more prosperous UN members to flood the markets of less prosperous nations with poor quality and/or unhealthy food;

4. UNDERSTANDING that farm subsidies, and protectionism to maintain prices, help ensure acceptable living standards for farmers and so encourage food production
