Submitted to:              Economic & Social Committee

Submitted by:             Norway and Germany

Date:                           December 5, 2002

Alarmed by the fact that there are nearly 700 million people experiencing endemic hunger in the world today, and 

Saddened that many more who are not famished are malnourished, and 

Observing that grain/cereal production has risen in recent years, and 

Concerned that a considerable amount of this production is used to feed livestock, i.e. cattle, chickens, pigs, and 

Pressing that grain currently used to feed animals could be used to feed hungry/impoverished nations with greater effects, and 

Noting that dental structure of humans shows that we are better fit for the consumption of plants as opposed to meat, and 

Also noting that the nutritional benefits of some genetically engineered grains/vegetables, such as cassava, are shown to outweigh those of meat products, and 

Whereas a food system heavily concentrated on production of grains/vegetables would be more effective in eliminating hunger, 

Be It Hereby Resolved That the General Assembly:

1.      Establish a committee to deal specifically with restructuring impoverished nations’ food structures, so as to reduce the current dependence on livestock.  It will be called UNCAR, the United Nations Committee on Agricultural Reform.  The Committee will be composed of Germany and Norway as well as any interested member nations.  The committee will work in Cooperation with the International Red Cross and the International Fund for Agricultural Development, both of which will contribute funds necessary to it. 

2.      The committee’s initial agenda will be as follows: 

a)      Begin trials to measure the effects of redirecting grains/vegetables to feed people, rather than animals.  Five countries will be selected for the trials based on their estimated amount of famished citizens.  China and Haiti will receive special preference.  The trials will run for 5 growing seasons.  Upon completion of these trials a recommendation will be made to either expand the program or terminate it. 

b)     Begin a public awareness program that encourages the consumption of vegetables instead of meats, citing the vast amount of proven health benefits this would have.  It can be implemented in any nation, with their cooperation and support.

Re:                              Pakistani Exploitation of Human Rights

Submitted to:              Political and Security

Submitted by:             Republic of India

Date:                           December 12, 2002

Remembering Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person,” and 

Realizing that Article 2, Section 3 of the United Nations Charter asserts that “All  members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice are not endangered,” and 

Whereas the Islamic Republic of Pakistan violates both these agreements by threatening the sovereign nation of India with weapons of mass destruction over disputes involving the Indian region of Kashmir, thus causing unnecessary terrorism of the Indian and global community, which threatens every person’s security of self and international peace, 

Recalling also that the region known as Kashmir, disputed as Pakistani territory, is actually part of the sovereign nation of India, and Pakistan’s claim infringes upon Indian sovereignty, and 

Acknowledging that Article 15 of the UDHR states that “everyone has the right to a nationality,” and that “no one shall be deprived of his nationality…” and also noting 

Whereas Pakistan again violates agreements laid down in the UDHR by again disputing ownership of the Kashmir region, which causes uncertainty and chaos over one’s nationality, if not entirely depriving one of his identity and nationality, 

Finally noting that the UDHR and the United Nations Charter are both binding contracts into which the Islamic Republic of Pakistan signed into, and is thereby required to comply with, and 

Noting that all of Pakistan’s actions listed in this resolution violate these contracts, 

Be It Hereby Resolved That the General Assembly: 

1.      Restrict the voting and membership rights of Pakistan, relegating the nation to a status similar to the Palestinian Authority, in which it still retains full observation and participation opportunities, but cannot vote. 

2.      Impose sanctions on Pakistan, wherein member nations would be strongly encouraged not to participate in any economic affairs with Pakistan, should Pakistani military extend beyond its borders in an offensive manner, specifically into the Indian land known as Kashmir. 

3.      Issue a general condemnation of the actions of the Pakistani government.

Submitted to:              Security Council

Submitted by:             Secretariat

Date:                           December 10, 2002 

Whereas  Iraq has complied with the Dec. 8, 2002 deadline for submitting a report regarding its possession and development of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons; and 

Whereas analysis of the report will take several weeks; and 

Concerned that the continuing build-up of United States troops and materiel in strategic areas neighboring Iraq appears to indicate that the United States has determined that war with Iraq is inevitable, regardless of the evidence [or lack thereof] contained in the Iraqi report; 

Worried that premature discussion  and “leaking” of the contents of the Iraqi documentation—before the document has been fully analyzed—will undermine the purpose of gaining a complete understanding of Iraq’s intentions and status regarding weapons of mass destruction;  and 

Concerned that the United States and others who appear to favor war with Iraq could use press “leaks” to distort the contents of the report as a means of justifying a unilateral move against Iraq and its people, 

Be It Hereby Resolved that the Security Council: 

1.      Refuse to comply with pressure from the United States to receive advance information about the documents received from the Iraqi government on Dec. 7, 2002. 

2.      Impose a 60-day moratorium on further troop build-ups in the Persian Gulf region. 

3.      Place a “gag order” (prohibiting discussion of any aspect of the report with the press or with other official or unofficial persons) on UNMOVIC personnel, and on all U.N. staff and consultants engaged in analyzing, translating or in any way handling the documents received from the Iraqi government on Dec. 7, 2002—until the report has been completely translated and analyzed.
