Torturing Illegal
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Trembonia
Description: I recommend the addition of a new law of war. Torturing shall be illegal without response from the World Assembly, as it violates the most basic human rights. The exact torturing methods that should be banned are: water boarding, burning, penetrating injuries, asphyxiation, forced human experimentation, traumatic removal of tissue, beatings, electric shocks, sexual assault, hanging by limbs, and mock executions. While torturing is an effect method of getting people to admit crimes, it often forces innocent people to admit to crimes they did not commit. Rather than torturing, verbal interrogation is a recommended method. Torturing thereby shall be illegal in all countries, both in domestic and international situations. If a country breaks this law, they shall be given severe punishment through payment to the World Assembly, trade embargoes, and other disciplinary actions on a situational basis. I urge you to recognize that torture violates the simplest of human rights.

ID: trembonia_1475383583
Environmental Economy
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: Trembonia
Description: Today, the world is stuck on the treadmill of production. Nearly all economic systems rely on production and consumption. Nations are judged on how much their citizens consume, and this is leading to the destruction of our fragile environment. Therefore, I propose that world economies are not just judged on production and consumption. Environmental impacts must be taken into account, and natural resources should be considered just as important as monetary currency. If we continue down the path of mass production and consumption, a climate crisis like never before will likely end humanity by the end of this century. As long as the world economy relies on consumption, environmental measure will not successfully shift the world from probable environmental destruction to a world that can sustain human life. This is a drastic change, but it needs to be done if we want to protect our children from the impacts of global warming. I propose the new major economic system as follows:
1. GEDP (Gross Environmental Domestic Product): Measured by the amount of resources extracted from 100 acre plots of land. The more resources extracted, the lower the GEDP. The exact numbers of this cannot be provided until an investigation of the average number of resources extracted per quarter in any given plot is carried out.
2. The deduction of privately owned businesses: Private businesses rely on consumption to stay in business, and therefore these businesses shall be rare. Taxes to the government will then be the main funding for the economy. Restrictions on the usage of this money must me enforced, as tax money needs to be used in order to help the citizens.
3. Environmental Compensation: Individuals shall receive tax credit for using renewable energy in an attempt to make it economically productive for them to use renewable energy.
4. Most importantly, environmental impacts shall be regarded just as highly as money. Currently, an economy is judged by how rich its citizens are. The number of resources in a land should also be considered. For fairness to countries who may have less natural resources, trade will be crucial.
Please research further on exact environmental threats and consider changing the world economy for the sake of our children and children's children.

Universal Secondary Sanguage
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Amalgia
Description: Understanding that a proposal for a universal language alrrady exists, It is, however, disappointing that the proposal attempts to replace all other languages and that it does nothing to prevent the issue of a language changing differently in different areas, effectively ruining the entire purpose of the resolution.
It is critical, therefore, to instead institute a Universal Secondary Language. Following in the footsteps of HR#243, a conlang will be constructed or agreed upon by the Universal Linguist Association, members of which will be elected from many various nations, in order to ensure no nation is unfairly represented.
This language will be taught as a secondary language and will appear alongside a nation's national language on public literary faces such as road signs or menus. Thus allowing for a standard means of understanding for those wishing to travel without hindering the natural culture of a nation.
Every few years the ULA will conduct visits to all nations to ensure these nations are upholding the language to standards, so as not to cause the language to begin splitting apart among different nations, ensuring the original purpose of the resolution stays intact.

Using Non-lethal weapons
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.
Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: NeuPreussia
Description: Guns are obviously very lethal, killing most victims in one well-aimed shots. Murder is often carried out by this weapon and it is a huge killer.
My proposal is that instead of allowing the public of carrying guns with live rounds, we only restrict guns with live rounds to the Military and Law enforcement. As a compromise, we only allow the use of rubber bullets or tasers, in use for self defense. These weapons do not kill people, rather incapacitate them and these can result in a huge reduction murder. The process of recalling all public-owned guns will be costly, but it will save lives in the long term
So in Summary
1. Guns that use live rounds and that could be considered lethal, should be only be possessed by Law Enforcement and the Military
2. The Public will not be allowed to legally have any guns that use live rounds
3. Rubber bullets, Tasers and Non-lethal firearms can be distributed to the Public, under the reasoning for self-defense and protection
4. The recall of lethal firearms is mandatory to uphold this verdict
