Dominican Republic

, 157 of those are convicted prisoners, and

Recognizing that armed burglaries as well vehicular armed burglaries are of high quantity in Dominican Republic, and

Having considered that there is not enough security in the Dominican Republic we have decided that we need to increase the amount of security officers in each city,

Alarmed by the fact that Bangladesh is a country with one of the highest poverty levels in the world and for lack of money it citizens have no wherewithal to receive healthcare, and

1. The general assembly start a program called Healthcare Enabling Lowering Poverty, or HELP. This program will help those of Bangladesh and other impoverished countries to have the will power to receive healthcare for all of its people.

Welcomes that a law prohibits child trafficking and fines anyone who “Recruits, Transports, Transfers, Harbors or Receives” a child to use for forced labor,

1. That the General Assembly will start a program called SCLA (Stop Child Labor in Africa). SCLA’s goal will be to reduce Child Labor in Africa by 30% or more in the next 5 years. The SDLA will start in just three countries- the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Togo and Uganda.

2. As part of the program, SCLA will make [BC1] 8,000 “Necessity packs”. “Necessity Packs” will be made up of common household needs, like water (bottles), canned food, blankets, bathroom items, etc. They will also include books, toys, clothes & shoes for children. These packs will be distributed to families who can’t afford the majority of these items. The SLCA will distribute them through churches, community centers, and police headquarters. These will hopefully reduce the chance of families selling their children into servitude.

3. SCLA will last for 5 years. Over the course of each year, SCLA will record how well SCLA is doing. At the end of the year, it will send the General Assembly a progress report.

Deploring that guerilla troops such as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) have kidnapped more than 30,000 northern Uganda children, mainly for the females to become wives and the males probably as young as 5 to go through various trainings to become killers, and

Affirming many children under the age of 15 often become homeless because of their parents or guardians have died from AIDS/HIV, and

4. The UN will ask multiple organizations and television shows to help donate items and advertise the CARE organization to encourage more people to help out.

Most homeless families lost their home in either a hurricane or earthquake, and

Many homeless children in Honduras become criminals or drug addicts as they get older,

1. The general assembly build 1000 earthquake proof homes for 1000 homeless families.

2. This will cost at about $995, plus $100,000 to set up a concrete factory. So $1,095,000.

3. This money can be achieved by raising the dues for the 10 richest countries in the world (according to GNI per capita) by 0.2%, easily leaving some extra for transportation.
