MUNA 2010 DRAFT RESOLUTIONS (as at 1st February 2010)

1. This General Assembly acknowledges that a conflict may exist between the sovereign rights of a nation and the human rights and living standards of its citizens, particularly in dictatorial regimes. We assert that under such circumstances, the international community should act to ensure that the requirements of national sovereignty do not override human rights and living standards.
2. This General Assembly acknowledges that many diseases are in large measure the consequence of poverty. We also note the success of the Rotary-supported campaign for the eradication of polio. We urge the international community to mount a similar campaign to challenge diseases such as AIDS and malaria, while at the same time taking effective action to confront underlying causes.
3. This General Assembly acknowledges that (a) all nations have the right to control their borders (b) many people believe that they can better their lives by emigrating to another country, even if illegally. As a consequence, the practice of “people smuggling” is growing. We urge all nations to take individual and collective action to combat such activity, while dealing compassionately with those who chose to make use of such services.
4. This General Assembly decries the provision by nation states of safe haven for terrorists and their training facilities. We urge all states so doing to desist, and call on all nations to cooperate with international action to combat terrorism.
5. This General Assembly believes that the hallmark of democracy is the right of citizens to hold their government to account and to seek to change their government by non-violent means. We call on all states to protect the rights of their citizens to freedom of speech and assembly and to regularly hold elections characterised by equity and transparency.
6. This General Assembly calls on all member states to support international action to limit the gaseous emissions that contribute to global warming, with its many serious consequences. At the same time we assert that developed nations, who have contributed the bulk of emissions to date, must take a leading role in this matter.
7. This General Assembly notes with concern that, increasingly, the support of particular nations for certain courses of action is being secured through offers of developmental aid. The impact of this practice has recently been evident in the issue of commercial whaling.
8. This General Assembly deplores the widespread exploitation of “guest workers”, who, while contributing to the economic prosperity of the host nation, are commonly denied satisfactory standards of living and political rights. We propose the establishment of an international organisation to set employment standards for guest workers and call upon all nations to enforce such standards when set.
