Re.: Worldwide Poverty

Submitted to: Human & Economic Rights Committee

Submitted by: Italy

Date: November 21, 2015

Whereas Article 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.”, and

Noting that according to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”^{^[1]} And

Whereas Article 25, section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care, and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age, or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.”, and

Concerned that most people living in poverty and extreme poverty are unable to pay for medicine that could save them from diseases other people think of as easily treatable.^{^[2]} And

Emphasizing that Greece’s unemployment rate is 25.6%, and

Appalled that people living in poverty live half as long as people living in wealthier countries, which gives them a limited time to work their way out of poverty and shows how poverty affects the lives of all who live in it.

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Will raise the dues of the 10 highest paying countries by 10%, totaling at 195,459,975 USD.
The countries that will be getting raised dues are Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. If any of these countries would like to know how much their dues are being raised by, I have those numbers.
The program will be called the United Nations Poverty Reducing Organization. (UNPRO)
The program will start out in Greece, and, if successful, will be spread to other impoverished countries.
UNPRO will bring job trainers from different countries and the UN to the impoverished country to train citizens in certain jobs.
Over time the job trainers from the different countries will rotate out with newly trained native job trainers.
Some jobs that will be taught are medicine based jobs, office jobs, math and science jobs, and computer application jobs.
Other portions of the funding will go to building hospitals, office buildings, and other job locations. The construction of these buildings will also give jobs to native people.
Whatever funds there are left will go to providing a stable economic base for the country that the UNPRO is currently working in.
The UNPRO should take 10 years, which includes planning and building the buildings and the education for the natives.
The United Nations should check in on this project in 10 years. If there is not a 5% drop in unemployment and a 5% drop in the poverty of Greece, then the UN can shut down the program or revise it.
If the program is successful, then the UNPRO would like to continue the process in other impoverished countries, like Burundi.

Whereas Article 14 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.”, and

Whereas Article 16 section 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state.”, and

Recognizing that the Syrian families that are fleeing are often separated and have no way to communicate with each other, and

Concerned that members of Syrian families are worried about the well-being of those they love and have nobody to turn to, and

Emphasizing that not all members of a family flee at the same time for many reasons, and

Fully Aware that countries around the world are welcoming refugees from Syria in various amounts and timeframes,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Call upon the nations currently working against Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad to ramp up efforts to dismantle his regime and restore order in Syria, in hope of restoring peace and creating an environment that Syrian refugees can return to.

That the members of the United Nations that have welcomed Syrian refugees into their country create an international database to link Syrians to their family and friends in other countries.
This database will build a list of the names, ages, and gender of every refugee in every country that applies for a job or some form of housing. Other countries will be able to access and search this database for the location of a refugee’s family at the refugee’s request.

Efforts will be made to reunite the families of refugees that are located in different countries by whatever means
To pay for these efforts, we are requesting $5,000,000.00 not including the military efforts against Syria, which are to be carried out independently. The money will be used to set up the database and a headquarters building in every nation housing refugees, as well as air or ground transportation to reunite families. This program will last 3 years, and if conditions have not improved, an additional $5,000,000.00 will be requested to continue the program for an additional 3 years.

Alarmed that one in ten people globally lack access to safe water, and 1

Deeply Concerned that over half of the world’s poorest nations have moderate to severe water risk, and 2

Appalled that every 90 seconds, a child dies from a water related disease, and

Shocked to find that the water crisis is the #1 global risk based on impact to society (as a measure of devastation), as announced by the World Economic Forum in January 2015, and

Recognizing that every dollar invested in water sanitation provides a $4 economic return, 3

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The United Nations will implement a new program called the Water Risk Improvement Organization (WRIO) focusing on improving the water quality of countries with moderate to severe water risks.
The program will begin in Northern Africa and the Middle East- focusing on the countries of Libya, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia, as these countries suffer the most severe water risk crises. WRIO will provide self-sustainable water pumps and water purification tablets to communities as well as hire volunteers to educate people how to operate these pumps.
WRIO will last an initial five years to monitor

1 Information found at World Health Organization and UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP). (2015) Progress on Drinking Water and Sanitation, 2015 Update and MDG Assessment.

2 Information found at “Aqueduct | Water Risk.” Aqueduct | Water Risk. Web. 8 Nov. 2015.

3 Information from World Economic Forum. (2015). Global Risks 2015 Report

WRIO will work with the World Health Organization (WHO) and ask for funding donations from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and ask to partner with USAID. Luxembourg will be able to fund the startup of the program but asks for donations from other countries to help continue the program.
If the percent of Africans and West Asians having access to proper water increases to 60% and the percent of people affected by water diseases decreases by 15%, the program will continue another 5 years.
If WRIO is successful, the program can be spread to other regions with water risks, such as the rest of Africa, Asia, and South Success will continue to be monitored every five years.
If the program fails to show significant improvements, it can be terminated or revised.

Recognizing that since 2000 around 38.1 billion people have become infected with HIV/AIDS, and

Alarmed that since 2000 25.3 million people have died, and

Realizing that 97% of people living with HIV live in developing and moderate income nations, and

Distressed that 1 in 4 students age 16 and above stated that they had learned nothing about HIV/AIDS in school during a survey in England,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The United Nations starts both a research fund and an education program. These programs will be under the name Act Up Fight Aids (AUFA).
AUFA Research will focus on both trying to find a cure and finding treatment. They will use the research to help the countries that need it the most. They will start with the countries where the disease is most prominent and work their way out.
AUFA Education will work to educate adolescences about what AIDS really is. They will not sugarcoat it; they will give them the cold hard facts. AUFA will of course have to work through various governments to get access to the schools.
To get payment AUFA will do a couple things. AUFU will ask for sponsorships from WHO, CDC, and Doctors Without Borders. We might also have to charge schools or local governments for the education program.
AUFA will last for 7 years. If there are 20% less reported cases of HIV/AIDS in 7 years the program will renew.

Whereas Article 23 section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.”, and

Aware 96% of export earnings derived from oil revenues, and those revenues account for 25% of Venezuela’s Gross Domestic Product, and

Concerned there is not enough capital and industrial technology to access potential oil reserves, and

Worried the economy of Venezuela will eventually collapse due to insufficient industrial technology and human resources, and

Guided by the fact that the economy shrank by 2.8% in 2014 due to diminishing oil revenues, and

Confident that a decrease in production expenses would alleviate the stress of lower oil prices, thereby reversing negative GDP growth and decreasing socio-political tension in Venezuela,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Will create the United Nations Oil Investment Agency. (UNOIA). The purpose of this agency would be to organize industrial investments for developing oil-producing countries.
UNOIA will work with oil-importing and oil-exporting countries to relieve the burden on resources associated with producing oil.
The agency would do this by, requesting an initial investment of $125,000,000 collectively from all UN member states.
The agency would run for an initial six-year period with the possibility of renewal thereafter.
1. In its first 3 years the agency would prioritize the procurement of financial and industrial resources to aid developing oil-producing countries.
2. The following 3 years the agency would oversee the distribution and utilization of resources to reduce the cost of oil production.
UNOIA would foster the sharing of information regarding efficient and sustainable production practice, to mitigate the effects of potential environmental harm.
The agency would promote safer and more comprehensive production standards, increased global competition, and lower energy prices. All countries who’ve invested would recoup their investment and would benefit from the increased economic development and growth.

Concerned that unemployment in Europe is at 11.7%, and

Noting that 15.7% of people in Malta live below the poverty line,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The 5 wealthiest countries in the European Union with contribute 15% of their country’s taxes to the poorest countries in Europe.
This money will be dispersed among the countries to fight poverty, homelessness, and unemployment through developing stronger social welfare programs and creating jobs.
The countries to whom this money is distributed will be monitored by Human and Economic rights committee members every year, as this money should be infiltrated into the economies and not to other things such as military.
This will be a 15-year project and after 15 years representatives from Human and Economic Rights committee as well as from the top 5 wealthiest and poorest countries in the European Union will meet to discuss how improvements have been made.
If the European economy still needs to be improved in order to establish a lower rate of unemployment and better livelihood, then the representatives mentioned above will meet and discuss plans to extend the time frame.

Whereas Article 5 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”, and

Concerned that more than one in four Afghan widows experienced violence after their husband’s death, as their families view them as a burden or property, and

Noting that the Afghan government is cash-strapped and focused on fighting the insurgency and not boosting welfare systems and that in 2014 Afghanistan spent 0.3% of its GDP on social protection and 1.2% on defense, and

Keeping in mind that Since 2002, more than 5.8 million Afghan refugees have returned home, representing 20 per cent of Afghanistan’s population, and that Afghanistan has one of the highest proportions of widows in the world compared with the size of its population,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The Afghan government increase funding for welfare programs for widows and fulfill its promised 7,500 Afghani pension.
The United States increase funding to their Agency for International Development which provides humanitarian assistance to war victims and must cease airstrikes (especially on civilian areas, like the Doctors Without Borders hospital).
The Afghan government and other social organizations must work to educate the people and erase the belief that widows are bad omens.
The United Nations form the Afghan Refugee Widow Aid (ARWA), an organization which will work with each nation’s government to raise money to help educate these women and raise the literacy rate, and also help them get jobs.

Concerned that an estimated 246 million people, or 1 out of 20 people between the ages of 15 and 64 years, used an illicit drug in 2013, the latest year on record., and

Further realizing that prevention strategies based on scientific evidence working with families, schools, and communities can ensure that children and youth, especially the most marginalized and poor, grow and stay healthy and safe into adulthood and old age, and

Seeing that for every dollar spent on prevention, at least ten can be saved in future health, social and crime costs, and

Encouraged that the awareness of the need for rehabilitation is increasing among the world’s population, as is the technology now available with methadone to successfully treat addiction, and

Aware that methadone based treatment can only be effectively administered by trained medical personnel, leaving many of the world’s most vulnerable unable to procure treatment,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Encourages countries to fully support the UN Office on Drugs and Crime efforts to educate world citizens about dangers of addiction, and to facilitate treatment options

Urges nations to inventory their resources to determine what trained staff are available to assist in rehabilitation programs. Of special interest are pre-med students seeking summer internships before admission into residency programs;

Calls for a program called PRE-MEDS OFF MEDS to be developed to place aspiring medical students in countries needing additional rehabilitation resources

Requests that this program be funded as a subsidiary of the already successful Doctors without Borders program

Recommends that the funding for this program be provided by tax revenues obtained from sale of medical marijuana in countries where this has been legalized.

Whereas Article 5 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”, and

Whereas Article 13 section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.”, and

Taking into consideration that victims from all throughout Eastern Europe and South Asia are currently being trafficked into Cyprus for unwilling sex work, often coming to Cyprus believing that they will be offered good employment with a good salary, and

Recognizing that these victims (most often women) are subjected to debt bondage, threats, and withholding of pay and documents preventing them from leaving Cyprus and forcing them to unwillingly continue participating in sex work, and

Noting with deep concern that while more investigations into human trafficking were carried out in recent years than previously seen, the first two convictions for child sex trafficking were only seen in 2015, and

Alarmed that the Cyprus anti-trafficking police unit comprises only eight people, and that 2014 saw investigations decrease by 68%, prosecutions decrease by 70%, and convictions decrease by 55%, with the penalties given out not being less stringent than those prescribed by the anti-trafficking law in Cyprus, and

Deeply concerned that Cyprus has not done and is not doing enough to protect victims of human trafficking,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Will assign 6 more officers to work specifically in the anti-trafficking unit in order to increase the amount of investigations, prosecutions and convictions that occur in Cyprus.
The United Nations create the Cyprus Anti-Trafficking Force (UNCATF) in order oversee the legal action taken against trafficking and to educate and inform the law enforcement, judges and prosecutors regarding the issue.
UNCATF will be divided into two teams. The first will monitor the amount of investigations that go into trafficking in order to ensure that a sufficient amount occur; there will be 5 individuals in this team. UNCATF will look to increase the amount of investigations, prosecutions and convictions by approximately 50% each, along with ensuring that the punishments given out match the laws in Cyprus. The second will be tasked with educating law enforcement, judges, and prosecutors about the issue and also to educate the masses about the problem and how to deal with it if they encounter it in their own lives, which will promote a safer and healthier environment concerning trafficking and how it is dealt with on a day-by-day basis. They will also help train social welfare staff in helping victims. There will be 25 individuals in this team.
The UNCATF will task the police force of Cyprus into investigating visas for individuals working in fields such as performing artists, students, barmaids, domestic and agricultural workers, which are typical fields that those who are being trafficked come to Cyprus under the pretense of.
To pay for UNCATF, we are requesting $1,300,000, which will be spent as follows:

Salary for individuals on both teams will be $700 a month for 3 years = $756,000
$5000 to equip each worker with needed items = $150,000
$210,000 for food, lodging, training, etc.
The remaining $184,000 will be used for any unexpected events that may arise for the individuals while staying in Cyprus

UNCATF will exist for 3 years. After 3 years, the United Nations may discuss the progress Cyprus has made in human trafficking and whether or not UNCATF will need to be renewed; the length of time for the renewal may be decided at this point also.

Realizing that due to the massive migration of hundreds of thousands of refugees to Europe from the countries of the Middle East suffering under ISIS domination and/or threat, vast numbers of children and young adults are temporarily housed in refugee camps without adequate access to educational services, and

Noting that according to Harvard Business Review, English is now the global language of business, as more and more multinational companies are mandating English as the common corporate language—Airbus, Daimler-Chrysler, Fast Retailing, Nokia, Renault, Samsung, SAP, Technicolor, and Microsoft in Beijing, to name a few—in an attempt to facilitate communication and performance across geographically diverse functions and business endeavors,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

Encourages countries to fully support the physical, emotional, and educational well-being of the refugees housed in temporary camps.
Urges nations to inventory their resources to determine what educational services may be provided to these refugees during their housing in temporary camps.
Calls for a program called TWERC, Teaching World English skills to Refugee Children, to be developed to place English-speaking college students in these camps for the purpose of teaching ESL – English as a Second Language to refugees.
Requests that UN Peacekeeping forces be in place to ensure the safety of the college students volunteering for this program.
Recommends that the funding for this program be provided under Teachers without Borders, and incorporated into the temporary study-abroad programs currently in place at thousands of universities in the West.

Disturbed that 1 of 5 deaths of children under the age of five around the world is because of water-related diseases, and

Noting that these water-borne diseases rarely occur in developed countries because of sophisticated water systems, and

Appalled that one out of every ten people in the world do not have clean water to drink, and

Distressed that one in three people lack access to a toilet, and

Approve that one organization, Water Partners International, is currently only working on two countries, Honduras and Bangladesh, and

Ashamed that Water Partners International isn’t helped at all by countries concerned about the issue and relies on donations by the people,

Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:

The United Nations create the Waterborne-disease Prevention Group (WPG). The goal of this organization would be to building and maintaining sanitary water systems, starting in Western Africa.
WPG will work with the three nations that have the least infant mortality rate in training and equipping plumbers to build sanitary plumbing systems in West Africa.
Once the foreign plumbers are finished building the plumbing systems, WPG will educate and train people in West Africa how to maintain the plumbing systems so to not lose all the progress.
To pay for WPG, we request $17 million dollars to pay for:

-Materials needed

-~200 workers needed, being paid $45,000 a year

Once the WPG completes all the necessary systems for the current region, they will wait a whole year to see if conditions get better. If child (under the age of 5) mortality rates decrease in the region by 10%, the project can be renewed.
If the project is renewed, then WPG will expand to other regions around the world that need the sanitary devices.

(This can be monitored through demographics of jobs and ethnic population density.) We request that the United Nations fund this organization to better our world and encourage integration of varying cultures.
1. 1000 agents will be paid $40,000.00 a year for a total of $200,000,000.
2. $2,000 will be used to gear the agents with a phone and laptop for a total of $2,000,000.
3. $198,000,000 will be used for travel expenses getting the agents from country to country.
4. $100,000,000 will be used to train the agents and pay for their lodgings and on occasional necessities.
The UNSWA will report progressive and stagnant areas twice a year in order to show impact and areas that need more focus to better the region as a whole.
The UNSWA will work with each region’s people to create a better understanding of worldwide cultures and diversity in a positive, educational manner. This will help prevent future segregation arising from misunderstandings and ignorance. The UNSWA agents will educate both adults and children from each area they work with to better improve the overall conditions.

Strengthen enforcements on the 2008 anti-trafficking law which criminally prohibits all forms of trafficking and establishes penalties such as life imprisonment or a fine of 400,000 baht ($13,333).
Conduct campaigns through the use of radio, television, billboards, and handouts to raise public awareness of the dangers of human trafficking throughout the country thus creating a better informed population.
Pay for the campaigns of UNAHT by raising the dues of the ten wealthiest nations (by GNI per capita) by 0.5%, resulting in roughly $1,100,000 which can be used to pay for airtime, ink, paper, court cases, and whatever else is necessary.
Keep the committee in place for seven years. If there is a significant decrease in human traffickers by the end of seven years, the committee will be renewed and possibly branch out into Thailand’s neighboring countries, Burma, Laos, and Cambodia.

3. Countries would benefit from the reduction in pollution and student debt ratios, while colleges would benefit as environmental beneficiaries and leaders for the community in addition to providing research opportunities
4. CRAP would also encourage and strengthen international relations between colleges and countries through the collaborative effort to combat pollution
Suggests the international community start with the Great Pacific Garbage Dump and then move on to the Indian and Atlantic Garbage dumps if the resolution is successful.
