Resolution GA-01 April 1
Re.: Pollution in Vietnam
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Vietnam
Date: April 1, 2022
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
Whereas Article 25, section 2 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.”, and
Concerningly 71,365 people are dying from pollution just in Vietnam, and
Shockingly, kids as young as 5 are getting infected and super sick because of pollution, and
Horrendously, pollution is increasing the risk of respiratory infections, heart disease, and lung cancer,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- There is going to be an organization called Pollution Going Down (PGD) We will get anyone willing to help from all of these countries Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand to help us with PGD including smaller groups that are already trying to help.
- We will get people from the government and the UN to help support us with this issue for funding.
- We will stop building buildings that affect the air and if new buildings are built, they would have to pass qualifications to be healthier for the air.
- We will have people in PGD give people air purifiers or any other invention that could help clean the air for houses and buildings. PGD will also make cleaner environments for people to live in. By making sure all the plants and things surrounding the countries are healthy and not a danger to the air.
- We will try this idea for about 4-ish years if it is helping we will go through this plan once again till we can get all the air up to a good level
- [Funding] About $4,270,280,000
- About 1,067 million Air purifiers, $100 each
- 10,000 Green Buildings, $10000 each
- Other Inventions $200-400 each
- [Timeline] It will start in about 2 years.
It will end when the pollution gets lower (6 years) 2024 – 2030
2024 -2026 will be getting inventions and air purifiers to buildings and houses
2026 – 2029 will be building more greener buildings and replacing super unhealthy buildings
2029 – 2030 will be PGD observing and keeping track of the numbers of people getting sick and the air that is clean
6. [Evaluation] The number of people getting sick from pollution will go down at least 25 – 30%. As well as the air level will be healthier with an increase of 30%. If this works out the way we planned. But if this idea fails and nothing changes we will find a different way to make it work, with the ideas and plan we have now.
Resolution GA-02 April 1
Re.: Children’s Education in Syria
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Syria
Date: April 1, 2022
Whereas Article 26, section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.”, and
Noting with deep concern that bombings and shootings have damaged about 40% of schools, and
Alarmed by the fact that child marriages and child labor laws make it very hard for children to go to school, and
Having considered the fact that many Syrian refugee children are not enrolled because of the language barrier, lack of transportation, and child disabilities,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- We will create a committee called S.I.S (Schools In Syria) that will determine new locations for schools. The locations will be somewhere in 4 of the top ten busiest cities in Syria.
- SIS will then design the building. The building will be designed for multipurpose uses so that funding is received through the school year.
- SIS will hire teachers or get teacher volunteers for a 3-month rotation. Volunteers are required to have at least 3 years of schooling.
- As for supplies – we will supply enough to last three months and then they should be able to buy more with the money they make from renting out the building or get supplies from various company donations.
- We are asking for $2 million dollars which we would get by taking 0.5 percent of the UN dues from the top 10 countries with the best education rate. That amount would cover the cost of building the schools, teacher salaries, transportation (buses) to the new locations, school supplies, and food/water. We would also receive funding for renting out the multipurpose buildings during school breaks.
- This program will start at the beginning of 2023 and last three years. After three years, if the attendance rate is consistently above 50%, we will continue the program and build additional schools. At that time, it is suggested that the program be spread to another region with a low education rate.
Resolution GA-03 April 1
Re.: Homelessness and Underdevelopment in Southwest Asia and Africa
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Germany
Date: April 1, 2022
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 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
Appalling, over 5.5 million children in Syria alone are homeless and in poverty, and
Dismayed, 13 million people in poverty and homelessness in Syria total, and
Distraught, conflict between citizen and immigrant at the home front,
Firstly, the problem currently affecting Europe is the influx of too many immigrants, lately Germany has taken most of them, but we think that other countries need to have responsibility whether it be at the home front or on another continent, especially as millions are suffering in Africa, and we think that we should help them. There are two solutions,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- One, we suggest that other European countries accept more immigrants into their country, thus reducing extreme violence in one area alone, and having a small amount of general violence all around, and the solution would be relatively cost efficient, but not really get us anywhere.
- Two, we can all fund a program to rebuild Southwestern Asian countries, which may cost a lot, but it will for one, supply us with developed partners for the future. (Option two;) A creation of a task force, “AAMC” (African-Asian Mobile Construction) is requested from the participants France, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and China, to develop Southwest Asia and North Africa, budget set at €13,000,000,000,000 and the payment method is by creating a new annual due for wealthy nations such as the United States, China, Japan, Germany (us), France, and the United Kingdom, the due is at least 5% of total GDP, and goes down 1% for every participant. (US: 5%, China: 4%, Japan: 3%, Germany: 2%, France: 1%, UK: 1%), focusing on the countries Afghanistan and Syria at first, then to northern Africa, to help build quality homes for their entire populations, and develop the nations. (America: $1.2 trillion, China $421 Billion, Japan $160 billion, Germany $80 billion, France & the UK $30 billion.) On top of this, Germany will increase military spending to €100 billion, so that we can deal with violent terrorist movements attacking civilians and AAMC workers alike.
- Option one: €15,000,000,000 (payment for 5,000,000 immigrants to live in Germany and/or other countries in Europe)
- Option two: €12,000,000,000,000 (excluding €1,000,000,000,000 for shipping, assembly, development) (€100 billion for German military supplied by Germany, excluded.)
- 2022-2030 (Process takes 6 years, extra years added on to finish the job by organizing the populace, importing supplies, etc.)
- We can measure the total happiness of the country with respect to the immigrants. If the immigrants are happy where they are, and are successful, then we will be able to begin the process anew. If they aren’t happy, we can move them to another European country where they might be happier. The importation of immigrants has shown success in Germany, and immigrants take jobs that help the economy grow, and seeing as they are happy here, we think they would be happy in other countries too, so we can spread the 5 million immigrants over Europe.
- We can have a division in the AAMC designed to measure progress, welfare, residential areas, road coverage, and more. If the country is developed to at least 80%, we can move the process to Central and eventually Southern Africa. If they aren’t above 80%, we at least made a large impact, and can continue supplying the country, but disband the AAMC. Multiple examples of foreign intervention in a positive way show significant success, such as the French and Ethiopians, the Ethiopians asked for help from France, and France helped them by building mines, railroads, ports, and more. The Ethiopian people saw an era of prosperity because of their natural resources and convenient transportation. Can this still be done now? Yes, it can, because we have even more technology to assist us today, and we all can team up to do bigger things.

Re.: Healthcare in Peru
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Peru
Date: April 1, 2022
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
Keeping in mind that air pollution is the main cause of 7 million deaths around the globe, and
Realizing that there are around 5,680 people who died because of poverty, and
Recognizing that there are over 265,267 lung cancer deaths due to pollution,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- We’ll use 3 mobile hospitals to go to the areas where people in poverty need access to hospitals, such as Andean Highlands, the Barriadas in Lima, Madre de Dios, and small villages. The mobile hospitals will stay in each area for one week and then travel to another poverty-stricken area. They will provide basic health care, vaccinations, medications, and food.
- There will be 4 doctors for each mobile hospital plus one driver. Doctors will alternate shifts throughout so each worker has an equal amount of shifts and breaks.
- We are asking for $4 million dollars. The mobile hospitals will cost approximately 1 million for the mobile hospital and RVs for the doctors to stay in. It will cost approximately one million for salaries and all medical supplies including midwifery kits, fleece blankets, medkits, medications, vaccinations, and food.
- We would like this program to last five years. If there is an increase in access to medical care by 5-10 %, then we will renew the program for another 5 years. This program could then be used in other countries, like Venezuela, Uruguay, Uganda, and Paraguay.

Concerned that people are getting killed due to the drug crisis and getting into gangs to get more money due to their financial standing. in 2020 91,799 people died due to an overdose of drugs, and
Noting that Mexican drug cartels take in between $19 billion and $29 billion annually from drug sales in the US. Causing them to gain more money and make greater profits, and
Alarmed that not only do people do drugs in Mexico, they also smuggle them to the US. In fact, Mexico is the US’s biggest drug transporter. Almost half the cartels from Mexico contain weed,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- The main idea is that we will increase security for drug smuggling and transporting. It will be based in Norway, where there will be training camps. Then it will include security patrols in drug routes. It will start in 2025 and end in 2035.
- Funding – For the drug-sniffing dogs is 12,000 Per dog # 100
$12 Million
It costs about 15,000 to train a soldier # 1000
$15 million
It costs 36,000 to buy a jeep for border patrol # 250
$9 Million
It cost 2 million to build a drug rehabilitation center #4
8 Million
Total=$44,000,00
2. We can create a fundraiser where people can pay from $0.01 to $0.10 a day for a month, This fundraiser will go Nationwide. We will raise the dues for the 10 nations that pay the highest amount of dues by 10% giving us $198,598,359.
3. We will then begin the project by training drug sniffing dogs, soldiers, buying jeeps for transportation, And building a main base in Norway. We will also spend money on a drug rehabilitation center. (Which will in total cost $ 55 Million)
4. We will then transport the soldiers to guard the tunnels and the borders we will equip them with dogs and a jeep for transportation. We will send the other half into the busiest city with the most drugs smuggled.
5. We will check the rates and percentages if they are lowered, we will add another 5 years until the process is completed and it is successful to finish the process.
6. Evaluation – Every 2 years we will measure how the percentages of deaths of drug overdose and the number of drugs smuggled. And once the percentages go down by 10% we will stop the program but if it doesn’t decrease by 10% we will add another 5 years until it goes down by 10%.

Re.: Water Pollution in Zimbabwe
Submitted to: General Assembly
Submitted by: Zimbabwe
Date: April 1, 2022
Whereas Article 3 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.”, 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
Observed that only 40% of people in Zimbabwe have access to clean drinking water, and
Deeply concerned about the higher risk of disease caused from fish due to water pollution, and
Alarmed by the very little amount of doctors that can help treat people that are affected by water pollution,
Be It Hereby Resolved That The General Assembly:
- The United Nations will start an organization called “Clean Water for All” (CWA). The CWA will distribute water testing kits to every family, every month using transport vans. If a family finds that their water is dirty, they will be given 30 deworming tablets. The CWA will return in on to two weeks to check on affected families.
- The CWA will test main bodies of water that have a big fish population, and use deworming tablets to clean the water and make sure the fish aren’t a danger to human health, when eaten.
- To fund this, we request the United Nations, raise dues on the nations that have the highest amount of dues by 5% ($99,299,179). These funds will buy water testing kits ($5,100,000 for 7.5 million kits), deworming kits ($257,160 for 7.5 million tablets), and transport vans ($40,500,000 for 1,000 vans). The remaining funds will go to hiring people to deliver supplies to families and test larger bodies of water.
- This organization will last three years, and if we find at least a 10% decrease in water pollution, the organization will renew for another three years. If successful, this organization can be spread to other countries with water pollution problems as well.
