Proposed by: Shutlandia

Description: isn't it about time we had our regional Olympics with athlete's from each nation competing for the coveted gold. i know my nation has tons of potential and why don't we harness this. if this resolution is passed it will need an Olympic comitee which will be an honour am sure to any nation to be on. After the regional Olympics we can of course stage a grander event with all gold medalist competing for the world title.
1. this would boost morale and nations would of course need to re-direct money into their leisure facilities.
2. A maximum of 3 competitors for each event from each nation will be allowed.
3. the winter Olympics will be over viewed by a sperate comitte.
4. regions wishing to hold the world championships will have to admit a dossier to all Olympic comitte members.
3. this will be decided by a vote, in the event of a tie a winter Olympics comitee member will have the deciding vote.
5. Event's will be the same as the Olympics now but any suggestions will be considered(no time wasting or you may have athlete's banned)Oh great, another olympics proposal. (Why don't we have a card for that?)

Hey - they can apply for a driver's permit (whether they get one or not - and whether they even exist is irrelevant), they can vote in any elections that do happen (even if that number is zero), they can sign up for any military that exists (even if there is none) and if they never reach the age of 21, well then they are kids for their entire lifetime (who wouldn't want that!!! :P)

Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: International Labour

Description: High prices in commercial trade were abolished and uniform reduced state retail prices were introduced on consumer goods when the currency reform was carried through and the rationing system abolished at the end of 2006. The reduction of prices at the first stage made consumer goods cheaper in state retail trade within a year by at least 57,000,000,000 rubles. That sum constituted a pure loss to the state Budget, which had to be covered, and indeed was covered subsequently, by the Government, owing to the rise of labor productivity, the increase in the production of mass consumption commodities, and the reduction of production costs. But at the same time, it constituted a pure gain for the population.

Consequently, the population has gained altogether approximately 86,000,000,000 rubles during the year as a result of the reduction of retail prices in all divisions of retail trade.

The new reduction of prices, to the extent which is outlined in the present decision, will effect new, additional lessening of prices of mass consumption commodities within the state sector of retail trade by at least 48,000,000,000 rubles over a period of one year.
Considering the fact that the new reduction of prices in the state sector of retail trade will cause immediate and, in the main, equal, reduction of prices in the cooperative and collective farm sector, it can be conceded that the population will additionally gain not less than 23,000,000,000 rubles as the result of the new reduction of prices of collective farm and cooperative produce.
Consequently, at this second stage, the population will gain altogether approximately 71,000,000,000 rubles in the course of one year as a result of the new reduction of prices in all divisions of retail trade.
This means that as a result of the new reduction of prices, the purchasing power of the ruble will again considerably rise and the value of the ruble will improve as compared with the value of foreign currencies, that real wages of workers and intellectuals will again considerably increase and peasants, expenditures on purchases of manufactured goods will again considerably decline.

The Council of Ministers of the WORLD and the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of International Labour hereby decree:
A. To reduce as of March 1, 1949, the state retail prices of consumer goods, as follows:
Bread and flower by 10 per cent; cereals and macaroni by 10 per cent; forage grains oilcakes, bran and combined fodder by 20 per cent; hay by 30 per cent; biscuits, gingerbread and cakes by 10 per cent; meat, sausages and tinned foods by 10 per cent; fish and fish products by 10 per cent; cream, butter and processed butter by 10 per cent; cheese and sheep's-milk cheese by 20 per cent; salt by 30 per cent; vodka by 28 per cent; cameras and binoculars by 10 per cent.
To reduce correspondingly the prices in restaurants, dining rooms, teahouses, and other catering establishments.
B. To instruct the Ministry of Trade of the UN to fix, in accordance with the present decision, new reduced state retail prices of food, fodder and manufactured goods enumerated in Paragraph "A" of the present decision.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing
Proposed by: Young Pilgrims

Description: The planet will not recover unless drastic changes in our policies are made. This proposal declares that governments forbid the use of gasoline-powered automobiles for private citizens.

After this has been completed, the government would be required to offer financial support to previous automobile owners who have no other method of transportation.

Special consideration would be given to those who normally drive 30+ miles to work and are unable to use public transportation.

if this proposal is approved, businessses would be likely to compete to uncover and utilize new sources of energy and to create autombiles that use them.

Gasoline would still be used for public transportation (buses/ airplanes) until a strong alternative is created.

I urge everyone to strongly consider approving this strong proposal.:rolleyes:

Aslo the casino can offer shows and restrunts witch would bring in money.

Description: What can we do to rid the world of international Terrorism? The people of the Queendom of Jenna Girl are deeply concerned with the thought that we can no longer go to bed feeling safe. Jenna Girl's people are very aware of the fact terrorists are a fact of life but keeping in mind that we CAN RID THE WORLD OF TERRORISM yes it will take a long time but if we did not do anything that took a long time how would anything get done in the UN?

Here are Our ideas to get this done.

1. Put extreme international pressure in those nations that support and harbor terror cells.

2. Sanction those countries from essential supplies. if they refuse to end their support of terrorism.

3. If these countries that we sanction have been supporting a 3rd world country we the United Nations will supplement that support.

4. if none of this works we send in a full armed Coalition of all of the nations of the world.Illegal, branding and possible either creation of a UN army, or attempting to affect non member nations with clause 4.

De-Privatisation of Industry
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Plageland

Description: The need for the de-privatisation of industy is great, the government needs control of industry to restrict its massive growth. If industry is allowed to grow too much it could become more powerful than the country itself!

I propose that the control of industry is given back to the government. The government can control where industry is located and can limit growth.

This can affect citizens for the better as the government can put production ahead of profit. Then our citizens can not be short change by profit seeking conglumerates. Prices for goods can be set at a reasonable rate which would result in a spending boom that would beefit every nation in the UN.

Right To Life
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Dorksonia

Description: RECOGNIZING the biological fact the fetus is both human and alive from the moment of conception and distinguishes its unique individuality from the mother by possessing a completely different genetic code, own immune system, and often possessing a different blood type (and male about half of the time).

BELIEVING the true test of a civilization is how well people treat the most vulnerable and most helpless in their society. Also believing that abortion is wrong because unborn children are the most vulnerable and most helpless persons in our society.

ESTABLISHING that human traits such as “Self-awareness” do not emerge until well after birth and must be rejected in distinguishing “personhood” from “humanity.”

ESTABLISHING that emotional blackmail rhetoric of “coat hanger” and “back alley” abortion is largely a myth as the “back alley” doctors simply move their shops up front when abortion is legalized. This argument ignores the fact that women died and were injured by abortion when it was “safe and legal.” There is no difference between maternal deaths pre-RAR (Repeal “Abortion Rights”) and post-RAR.

NOTING it is unacceptable for nations to turn a blind eye to others that are allowing abortion to destroy this innocent human life. Further noting that all actions, no matter how heinous can be cloaked under misleading rhetoric such as “personal choice” (all laws restrict our choice to do something and we need in this case to look at what it is being chosen: live baby or dead baby).

MANDATES all nations to outlaw abortion with the rare exception for when the mother’s life is in danger and medical evidence shows that carrying the unborn child to term would result in her death.

CONTINGENT on passage of the Repeal of “Abortion Legality Convention.”

25 percent Public Nudity

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Bierlan

Description: Description- All people should be allowed to express themselves freely by being nude in designated areas if they wish

Many countries have their own feelings about this but it would give people more freedom.At least 25% of each country should allow public nudity. Nudity is not unusual, it is a right.
People that disagree with public nudity still have a right to avoid because according to this documen as above only 25% of each country will have to be affected so there is a way to avoid the nudities unless the government would like a larger extent of areas which allow nudists.

Back on topic:
INTRODUCTION OF ID CARDS

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

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Baramia

Description: It is morally wrong to have a person stealing the identity of someone else. I believe that identity cards would prevent this. There are several reasons for this:

1. Identity (ID) cards are in use, in one form or another in numerous countries around the world. The type of card, its function, and its integrity vary enormously. Around a hundred countries have official, compulsory, national IDs that are used for a variety of purposes. Those that do have such a card include Germany, France, Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain. These countries are developed countries and clearly ID cards have worked for them, which is proved by, on average, lower identity theft crime rates.

2. This one card would be able to do all the functions that a passport and drivers licence do, so you would just have to carry one card around with you, to prove your identity and whether you can drive or have a passport on it.

3. This card would be extremely hard to forge, so no-one could possibly steal your identity. This difficulty to forge is because of the biometrics on this card. There would be a standard thumbprint of everyone and in some cases, an iris image (which cannot in any circumstances be forged). If someone wanted an iris image on their ID card because they are more cautious, they would have to pay a little extra for it.

4. Identity theft costs about £1.3 billion per year on average for the countries that do not have ID cards. The countries with ID cards only lose about 20% of that amount to identity theft. Clearly, this proves that ID cards work and save the country a lot of money every year. Even though the public would have to pay to get them (and they are compulsory), the public could benefit greatly as the government would have more money to put into other areas. Linked to this is benefit claiming. People may get someone else's identity and pretend to have a lowly-paid job or pretend they have kids, so that they get income and benefits or child benefits.

5. Also, illegal immigration would be put to zero. An illegal immigrant would, obviously, not have an ID card, so they wouldn't be able to get a job because an employer would have to see an ID card before hiring an employee.

It is morally indecent for someone to steal someone else's identity so we are restricting the civil freedoms of the public by forcing Identity cards upon them to prevent this.

In general, the introduction of ID cards would prevent identity theft and would put a stop to illegal immigration. Stopping these two things would save governments over the world a lot of money, which could then be put to better use, so vote to introduce ID cards.

True Equality

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: SdKfz 186

Description: In the Name of Equality, Let’s Be Equal

Term(s) to be defined:
Minority- A group of people who differ racially, politically, gender, ethnicity, financially, or religiously from a larger group of which it is a part.

This calls for a BAN of ALL Equal Opportunity Labor Laws/Programs.

I propose that equal opportunity programs that help underprivileged individuals/minorities should be cut immediately, because they are not "equal opportunity".

Any equal opportunity laws that an UN Member Nation has passed would be repealed within that nation in compliance with this Resolution.

So called “Equal Opportunity” Laws/Programs inhibits many qualified persons from attaining jobs just because they are not a minority. Everyone needs jobs, and one group should not be punished just to help another.

This complies with all parts of UN Resolution #88 “Fairness and Equality”.

Quoting UN Resolution #88 “Fairness and Equality”:

“In the exercise of any power, the United Nations, and every agency, organization and officer thereof, acting on the behalf thereof, or acting with the authority thereof, shall fairly, evenly, and appropriately exercise such power when interacting with any person or government, without regard to the race, ethnicity, gender, of any person or any political consideration (including, but not limited to, the outcome of any conflict, or the ideology of any government).”

According to this Equal Opportunity based on Gender, Race, Ethnicty, or any other basis is wrong and illegal.

Finally, I state, these programs are far from equal. True equality would come from letting people fend for them selves in the job market. Making them rely on their education and job/activity history to speak for them, not giving them an advantage because they are a minority. For “True Equality” to be obtained; this Resolution is important, and MUST be passed.

RIGHT TO FREE EDUCATION
RIGHT TO FREE SHELTER AND FOOD
RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT IMPRISONMENT IF INNOCENT IN THE EYES OF UN LAW
ALL MURDERS AND CAPITAL CRIMES TAKEN SERIOUSLY

1) New Resolutions must be passed with a majority of 55%, rather than a simple majority
2) The Repeal of Resolutions must be passed with a majority of 65% - or two thirds - to ensure that the repeal is genuinely the will of the members of the United Nations
3) A minimum of 4,000 nations must cast their vote, to ensure that a proposition that benefits the few is not affecting the many.Illegal, game mechanics.

I BELEIVE THAT THIS WILL HELP NEW OR SMALL NATIONS BECOME SUCCESFULL. IT MAY ALSO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF INVADERS TERRORISING OTHER RNATIONS.
May I note that the author switches from a focus on many "small regions" to "rnations" (rnations?) by the end... not to mention that bringing this in through the NSUN constitutes a standing army, and wouldn't it be metagaming by creating this United Army as an organization through the UN in the first place?

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Montfluvea

Description: CONDEMNING all the deaths of civilians, mass murders and crimes that take place during war

1. DECLARES the duty of member states to do all that is reasonable to prevent war crimes;

2. DECLARES that this resolution is not an infringement of a member state’s sovereign prerogative to declare war, nor an attempt to usurp its jurisdiction in dealing with war crimes

3. RECOMMENDS that an International Criminal Court (ICC) be established to punish individuals, groups or states guilty of perpetrating war crimes which would otherwise escape justice

4. ESTABLISHES the ICC, mandated to:
i - Achieve justice for all: without an international criminal court for dealing with individual responsibility as an enforcement mechanism, acts of genocide and egregious violations of human rights often go unpunished.
ii - To end impunity: crimes against international law are committed by men and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced — establishing the principle of individual criminal accountability for all who commit such acts as a cornerstone of international criminal law, applying equally and without exception to any individual throughout the governmental hierarchy or military chain of command, accepting that the crime of genocide may be committed by constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals
iii - To help end conflicts: In situations such as those involving ethnic conflict, violence begets further violence. The guarantee that at least some perpetrators of war crimes or genocide may be brought to justice acts as a deterrent, enhancing the possibility of bringing a conflict to an end.
iv - To remedy the deficiencies of ad hoc tribunals: The establishment of an ad hoc tribunal immediately raises the question of selective justice. A permanent court could operate consistently.
v -To take over when national criminal justice institutions are unwilling or unable to act: States agree that criminals should normally be brought to justice by national institutions. But in times of conflict, whether internal or international, such national institutions are often either unwilling or unable to act, usually for one of two reasons. Governments often lack the political will to prosecute their own citizens, or even high-level officials or national institutions may have collapsed
vi - To deter future war criminals: Most perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity throughout history have gone unpunished. It is reasonable to conclude that most perpetrators of such atrocities have believed that their crimes would go unpunished. Effective deterrence is a primary objective of those working to establish the ICC. Once it is clear that the international community will no longer tolerate such monstrous acts without assigning responsibility and meting out appropriate punishment - to heads of State and commanding officers as well as to the lowliest soldiers in the field or militia recruits - it is hoped that those who would incite a genocide; embark on a campaign of ethnic cleansing; murder, rape and brutalize civilians caught in an armed conflict; or use children for barbarous medical experiments will no longer find willing helpers.

6. URGES member nations to contribute staff, expertise, information, and funding to the ICC;Ugh, not another international court proposal.

Description: Appointing Chuck Norris as President of the United Nations will have many benefits for UN members and the world.

These benefits include:

1. The elimination of the need for peacekeeping forces. No longer would UN members have to send troops to troubled areas to stop wars, civil strife and etc. All we have to do is have Mr. Norris send a message to the region and all fighting would stop.

2. UN nations will never be attacked again. Would-be attackers would be deterred just by the fact that Mr. Norris would get personally involved on behalf of the UN nation and they do not have a chance against his roundhouse kicks.

3. Unlimited famine and drought relief. Crops would grow and water would flow everywhere out of "respect" for Mr. Norris.

4. All nations would comply with UN demands and security councils. It is known that Mr. Norris was the chief negotiator in an incident where several world leaders were taken hostage. All he had to do for their release was make a phone call to the captors and say "Hello. This is Chuck Norris."

5. All war criminals would give themselves up voluntarily. Everyone realizes that no one can hide from Mr. Norris as he is the long arm of the law.

6. The world would be cancer-free. Mr. Norris would surely donate some of his tears to all medical institutions.

In light of those benefits and more smaller ones and his flawless performance as a Texas law enforcement official, The Type-R Nation of Dian recommends Chuck Norris to be appointed for President of the United Nations.I have no words for this one.

Nuclear Cannon Exchange Act
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Ruthania Hungry

Description: Recently, plans were recovered from a non UN nation scientist for a nuclear cannon. This country is currently unknown. However, The idea that these cannons even exist is a danger to all UN nations. This resolution is designed to spur the development of "anti-cannon" technology such as bombers and tactical missiles. The following is an outline of the proposed actions.

Article I: All UN nations will be given the plans for the nuclear cannon. The choice to develop the weapon will be up to the individual countries.

Article II: More funding will be directed towards international security against all hostile non-UN nations.

Article III: UN nations will be given more funding towards espionage and other covert activities in order to investigat non-UN nations.

Article IV: If a country does not wish to take part in the covert activities, they may keep their spending at its current rate.

This act is meant to bring attention to the growing threat of hostile, non-allied nations.

It seems the supporters of Bob are persistent and submitted it again.

Who is Bob? Meame UN Mission thinks:
Bob is a UN Multi as nobody would endorse the proposal (Well, maybe WZ Forums...)
Bob could be a really large nation (eg, The Republic of Bob, 44444.77 Billion people) filled with wise people.
Bob could be the Minister of Education of Irish Nations of Meame. But his decisions were never wise...
Bob could be an idiot who writes Silly Proposals such as 'Bob'.

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #81

Proposed by: Stad Aalst

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

Argument: A marriage between two people of the same gender should be outlawed. This is not restricting their rights, only a paperwork matter, and a decision that will hardly affect Gay people's rights.

Bringing to memory:

-That marriage is a holy institute, one of the oldest in the world, and since than has never been admittet to gay people

-That in the Roman Empire, people were not prosecuted for being gay, that gay rights were ok in those times, but that nevertheless, a gay marriage was NOT allowed.

-That marriage is a sacred place for reproduction of the human species, and that for that matter, gay people are BY NATURE unable to reproduct.

-That no rights will be taken from than, but gay marriages will be made impossible for that it would not be called marriage, but just living together. They have the same administrative rights.

Category: International Security

Proposed by: Ruthania Hungry

Description: Recently, plans were recovered from a non-UN nation scientist for a nuclear cannon. This country is currently unknown. However, The idea that these cannons even exist is a danger to all UN nations. This resolution is designed to spur the development of "anti-cannon" technology such as bombers and tactical missiles. The following is an outline of the proposed actions.

Article I: All UN nations will be given the plans for the nuclear cannon. The choice to develop the weapon will be up to the individual countries.

Article II: More funding will be directed towards international security against all hostile non-UN nations.

Article III: UN nations will be given more funding towards espionage and other covert activities in order to investigat non-UN nations.

Article IV: If a country does not wish to take part in the covert activities, they may keep their spending at its current rate.

This act is meant to bring attention to the growing threat of hostile, non-allied nations

Nuclear Cannons?

26-03-2006, 05:57

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Ski Town

Description: Defines:
Death Penalty- A punishment for extraordinarily violent crime where the perpetrator of the crime is killed for his or her actions.

Life In Prison Without The Chance Of Parole- A punishment for extraordinarily violent crime where the perpetrator of the crime is imprisoned for his or her entire life without any chance of gaining a parole hearing as a way of early release.

Recognizes:
1. That innocents have been killed through use of the death penalty (123 in the United States since the 1976 reinstatement of capital punishment)

2. It is actually less expensive to give someone life in prison without parole than it is to give them the death penalty. This is because of the extremely high cost of a death penalty trial, and appeals process in a death penalty case, also the cost to house someone on death row is much more expensive than the cost of housing someone in a maximum security prison. These factors make the average death penalty cost much more than the average life in prison without parole.

3. The abolishment of the death penalty is a requirement in order to become part of the European Union.

4. The death penalty is not actually a good deterrent of crime. Recent studies show that nations using the death penalty have almost twice as much violent crime as nations that do not use the death penalty.

Proposes:
The death penalty must be abolished in all U.N. member nations because of the above reasons showing that it is not an ethical, efficient, or economic deterrent of crime.

States:
All member nations must remove the death penalty as a way of punishing crime.

Suggests:
The use of life in prison without the chance of parole as a more effective means of punishing violent crime.I love it when proposal ideas I don't like are also written with illegal RL references.

THINKING that we will eventually run out of gasoline, but electricity is unlimited.

ADVISING that we have electricity stations in the place of gas stations.

If you pass this bill, UN member nations will be required to have:
1. Only electric cars in the nation.
2. Electricity stations rather than gas stations.
The UN member nations would have to have this in their nation in one full year.OK then, all these "electricity stations" will generate the needed electricity from gasoline powered generators.

Gas-Car Eradication
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing
Proposed by: Guardonia

Description: NOTING that gasoline is dangerous to the environment and pollutes the air.

SUGGESTING that hybrids that use electricity be used in their place.

REMINDING you that people will live longer with less pollution in the air.

SUGGESTING that there be a slow transition from gasoline to electricity for the economy's sake.

THINKING that we will eventually run out of gasoline, but electricity is unlimited.

ADVISING that we have electricity stations in the place of gas stations.

If you pass this bill, UN member nations will be required to have:
1. Only electric cars in the nation.
2. Electricity stations rather than gas stations.
The UN member nations would have to have this in their nation in one full year.
"AWARE that gas powered water heaters, stoves, refrigerators and other devices produce less greenhouse gases than similar devices with electric power,

DESTROYS the main point of this proposal"

OK then, all these "electricity stations" will generate the needed electricity from gasoline powered generators.

Nuclear Cannons?

Yeah...
U.S. Army 280mm "Atomic Annie" Nuclear Field Artillery
US Army Field Artillery gunners ushered in the tactical nuclear era when, in May 1953, a 280-mm gun called "Atomic Annie" fired the first nuclear shell downrange. This weapon system appeared in the Inagural Parade for Gen. Eisenhower when he became President of the United States in 1953.

Its currently still on display at Ft. Sill, OK.

ooc: Here's one that was even harder to believe...

The Davy Crockett
The Davy Crockett was a bazooka-type missile with a W54 nuclear warhead. It could be mounted on a Jeep, or a three-person team could carry it. The weapon system used a spin-stabilized, unguided rocket fired from a recoiless rifle. While early atomic missiles were heavy and awkward, the Davy Crockett was only 30 inches long, 11 inches wide and weighed 76 pounds.
Two types were made: a 120-mm with a range between 1,000 to 6,500 feet; and a 155-mm with a range between 1,000 to 13,000 feet. The Davy Crockett also could carry a conventional high-explosive round for use as an anti-tank weapon. Stockpiled from 1960 to 1971, the Davy Crockett brought nuclear capability to the infantry.

Proposed by: Coldseal Windows

Description: Expresses concern of the incompatibility of free market capitalism, in its current state, with the process of reducing carbon emissions and bettering the environment.

Recognises the need for international legislation in this field.

Proposes a solution of creating a global currency (in addition to money) called the tradable carbon quota: (TCQ)

A certain amount of TCQ will be given to all nations, to be distributed to the consumers of the nation, and the businesses.

The purchase of any product or service that results in or has been the cause of any carbon emissions will be labeled a Carbon Emission Trade Product (CETP)and must be purchased with TCQs as well as money. This could be anything from a consumer buying plane tickets to buying a tank of petrol, a local shop having it's waste incinerated to McDonald's shipping large amounts of beef.

The TCQ price will be respective to the amount of harm it causes to the environment.

The distribution of TCQs will be fair so that those who fly private jets around will be those who suffer cold winters, so to speak, not vice versa.

No CETP maybe purchased free of TCQs and the retailer will be punished if caught selling CETPs without receiving the correct price in TCQs.

To enforce this all businesses selling CETPs will have to apply for licenses to do so.

This is a workable method of incorporating mainstream environmentalism into free market capitalism across the globe and effects all nations.:confused:

(1) Immediately establish a Cabinet Position or Designatee to represent their nation for conferences and meetings to discuss this issue.
(2) Submit to the UN the sum of $500,000.00 (or equivalent in their local currency) in order to fund the research of methods to destroy or alter the course of ETA’s.
(3) Submit to the UN the sum of $500,000.00 (or equivalent in their local currency) in order to fund a program to identify, search out and track all potential ETA’s.

ARTICLE II: Nothing in this legislation shall be interpreted as affecting the right of all UN nations establish their own internal programs to search for, track or attempt to destroy any and all ETA’s.

ARTICLE III: Nothing in this legislation shall be interpreted as affecting the right of all UN nations to share technology related to the search for, tracking or technologies that will attempt to destroy any and all ETA’s, provided such activities are in conformity with article I of this legislation.

Proposed by: Ruthania Hungry

Description: The international dragon population is decreasing rapidly. Deforestation has caused the creatures to move closer to urban areas, where they are not welcome. This act is meant to help preserve the species by protecting their forests, along with all very rare species.

ARTICLE I: Before a forest can be implemented for deforestation, a comity must inspect the forest to make sure that there are no rare animals in that habitat.

ARTICLE II: If rare animals are found, woodchipping industries my not cut down any trees from the forest until the endangered species in question either leaves or goes extinct by NATURAL CAUSES.

ARTICLE III: If it is found that a company has allowed the death of a large number of endangered species, they will be punished based on the following
a) If one individual is killed: a small fine *(determined by the host country) will be made
b) If a large number of animals are killed by accident: a large fine*.
c) If a large number of animals are killed on purpose or with the full knowledge by the company executives: Temporary or permanent shutdown.*

Rare species like dragons must be preserved for future generations.

Data Protection Act, 2006
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Sovereign Islands

Description: The Data Protection Act is designed to protect individuals from the misuse of information stored about them by organisations.

INFORMATION REGARDING INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS

Information companies receive from individuals must be relevant to their purpose and will be subject to revision, deletion or alteration.

This Act requires that all schools, hospitals, police constabularies, companies and government census bodies employ a “Data Controller” to ensure that input of data will not conflict with the provisions of this Act.

IN RELATION to schools and hospitals information that is registered to an individual under the age of sixteen years is allowed to be passed on to the parents or guardians of that individual.

IN RELATION to police constabularies. They hold the right to publish data containing necessary information that the courts or the public need to know concerning defendants that are to be convicted or criminals that are of potential danger to the public.

Police constabularies also retain the right to request data of individuals from companies, schools and hospitals etc when investigating criminal offences.

Companies or third parties that are hired to process data will be responsible to the “Data Controller” of an organisation and therefore will face the measures necessary for contravening the provisions of the Data Protection Act.

Individuals have six fundamental rights within accordance with the Data Protection Act.
1). Right to subject access.
2). Right to prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress.
3). Right to prevent processing for the purpose of direct marketing.
4). Rights in relation to automated decision making.
5). Right to compensation if damage and distress is suffered by the Act being contravened.
6). Right to rectify, block or erase incorrect data.

Data Protection Principles

All organisations must comply with the following eight principles of the Data Protection Act regarding personal data that is recorded them.

1). Processed fairly and lawfully (see below for what classes ‘fairly processed data’).
2). Obtained for specified and lawful purposes.
3). Adequate, relevant and not excessive.
4). Accurate and up to date.
5). Not kept any longer than necessary.
6). Processed in accordance with the "data subject's" (the individual's) rights.
7). Reasonably securely kept.
8). Not transferred to any other country without adequate protection.

‘Fairly processed data’

In order for data to be classed as 'fairly processed', at least one of these six conditions must be applicable to that data. Note that the legal phrase 'data-subject' simply means 'the individual'.
1). The data subject has 'consented' ("given their permission") to the processing;
2). Processing is necessary for 'the performance of' (to speed up the completion of) a contract;
3). Processing is required under a legal obligation (other than one stated in the contract);
4). Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject's rights;
5). Processing is necessary to carry out any public functions;
6). Processing is necessary in order to pursue the legitimate interests of the "data controller" or "third parties" (unless it could unjustifiably prejudice the interests of the data subject).

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: KaminoBob2500

Description: For the following reasons:

- OBERVING THAT: People between the ages of 16 and 18 (hereby referred to as "Young Adults") are, in many NSUN states, are classified as "minors" or some equivilent, and possess limited rights.

- BELEIVING THAT: Young Adults are frequently equally informed about current events as the rest of society, if not more so.

- BELIEVING THAT: Young Adults are capable of making decisions pertaining to their reproductive lives, and would do so, with or without permission or legislation.

- NOTING THAT: With the advent of reliable electronic voting technology, governmental systems can process greater numbers of voters.

- STATING THAT: In theory, more voters leads to a better democracy.

- BELIEVING THAT: if Young Adults were involved in politics, they would be more likely to elect politicians committed to improving the nation and securing its future.

- RECOGNIZING THAT: Children below the age of 16 are unlikely to have the cognitive processes to properly make decisions with impacts that will stretch over their entire lifetime.

I hereby propose that, in order to bring the world and all its people into the future:

- The minimum voting age in all NSUN member states be standardized at 17 years of age.

- The age of consent in all NSUN member states be standardized at 17 years of age.

- Any person under the age of 17 shall be designated as a minor, with the rights, restrictions, and protections granted by national and NSUN law.

(For purposes of comparison, 17 years is nearly equivalent to 204 lunar cycles, should any nation not recognize the standard calendar)

This one I'm going to have to rip apart
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Niploma

Description: Members of the United Nations,Oh boy, here we go.

Article I

To avoid war this Article promotes the act of Diplomacy, and other peaceful means, to avoid any war. This doesn't bode well for what the rest of the proposal will say.

Article II.

a) This Article hereby recognises that an aggressive war, that is a war for personal gain, are immoral and wicked acts.

b) The UN declares all military aggressors as evil human beings and, as an International Community, condemns all military agressors.

c) However, if a UN member attacks another country for moral reasons, such as protecting the attacked population from Genocide, the UN has no qualms with the attacking country. Does this mean that someone's thinking about the Chechnyans?

Article III.

The UN is worried by the huge amount of military spending. It therefore encourages countries to put forward more capital into civil issues, such as Health or Education. You know, if you really want to get nations to spend less on their military then you really should write a disarmament proposal.

Article IV.

a) Prisoners of War (POW) are an unavoidable by product of war. This Article promotes the capture of enemy Armed Forces during war as opposed to simply killing them.

b) However, this Article aims to protect POW in times of war. (i) Once captured a POW should be contained in a ‘Prisoner of War Camp’. (ii) A POW must be detained in respectful living conditions during, and after, times of war. (iii) Whilst captured the host country should treat all POW with the utmost respect ensuring all are fed and watered on a daily basis. (iv) If a POW suffers any injuries before entering containment (and during containment) they are to be given sufficient treatment. (v) Whilst under captivity no POW can die from the host’s hands. (vi) This Article declares the killing of a POW an illegal act.

c) Indeed, once a war has finished it is completely up to the countries involved to sort out their respective POW.

d) The above is only applicable if all combatants are members of the UN. Redundant, POW treatment is already covered under Wolfish Convention on POW.

Article V.

a) This Article thoroughly and completely encourages all countries to sincerely avoid direct attacks on civilian population.

b) Any excessive acts of violence upon a civilian population are condemned by the UN and other nations are encouraged to intervene to end acts like those. You know, I have a feeling that most militaries already try not to attack civilians.

Article VI.

a) This Article recognises that many citizens across the world are pacifists who are opposed to war.

b) This Article protects these people and gives all the right to not be forced into military action.

c) All UN citizens have the full and complete right to not be conscripted to military service. The term for such peoples is ‘conscientious objectors’. And now the proposal basically makes all armies volunteer as any draftee who doesn't want to fight can just say that they're a "conscientious objector."

This Act is to be promoted to all nations throughout the world, with special regard to Article IV.

Furthermore, the meeting together of any regional leaders to discuss matters relevant to the government and relations of their regions should do so with a neutral third party present. No decisions may be made by two nations regarding the leadership or direction of a third.

This resolution will free the world from the grip of the UN and will prevent a corporation from achieving world domination.

3. If animals gain acceptance, there is no need for environmental protesters

The effect of this proposal is:
1. animals rights to vote
2. animals will be taxed
3. discrimination against animals(because of there being animals) being considered racism

Argument: ADMITTING that Nuclear Armaments is there to protect this community,

I still believe that this resolution is quite an underhand way of giving more power to UN Nations than to Other Nations.

I believe that this idea must be halted in its tracks, because I think that each Nation must be safe in the knowledge that they will not be attacked by a UN Nation possessing this awful weaponry on the spur of the moment, or as a threat.

URGES that a future resolution be made where an Independent Body reviews the cases for use of nuclear armaments and may approve/deny them.

SUGGESTS that this Independent Body keep enough nuclear weapons to be used on the UN'S BEHALF.

REPEALS Resolution no. 109I wrote "an underhand way of giving more power to UN Nations than to Other Nations?"

ARTICLE III: if u have a gun for hunting porpuse, you are not allowed to use a gun that has full automatics or a burst mode.ONLY semi ans bolt action rifles are allowed, the reasons why is because it aint far to the animal to be using a full automatic gun.

ARTICLE IV: If a person is Charged for any type of homicide by which a gun was used, unless it was a self defence ,will be swentence to the Death Penalty.

ARTICLE V: all pepole have the right to own a gun, but it must be locked in a gun case. all gun casses must be made of meatle and are not allowed to have glass or any breakabe substince and must allways be locked.

Article II - what is the millatery [sic], and how do you inforce [sic] laws?
Article III - it "aint fair to the animal to be using a full automatic gun." True, I suppose, but, does this mean that it isn't fair for animals to carry full-auto weaponry or for hunters?

Description: GIVEN that animals make up most of the world's conscious population.

ENDEAVORING to create a more fair, truly representative democracy.

It is therefore proposed that all nations have compulsory governmental seats in their ruling body, specifically allocated to represent each of the animals existing in the nation.
(DEFINING animals as any species with a brain)
(RECOGNIZING that there are many sub-species within a species - ie the Hectors Dolphin and the Spinners Dolphin - it is proposed that EACH of these species be given a seat.)

UNDERSTANDING that communication and understanding between humans and animals is not yet sufficient for such a proposal to be implemented;

It is further proposed that these seats be filled by a human with proven training and specialist university educated knowledge until such time as humans and animals are able to fully and satisfactorily communicate.
Such a representative will need to be approved by all governmentally represented parties.

RECOGNIZING that such a proposal will take time to implement;

A timeline of 6 years is given before these seats become compulsory, thus giving nations time to train and elect candidates.
