International Security, really?Enshrinement of Aid
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: UK Independence Party
Description: This piece of legislation anticipates that the majority of civilised, moral nations would support offering aid, either material or financial, to destitute people of the world's most poorest countries.
This act:
-Enshrines in law that the World Assembly will require its members to give 0.7% of Gross National Product to developing countries in order to create prosperous conditions
-Recognises that the process of aid is far too opaque and will initiate an independent committee (Transparency Committee) to allocate selected amounts of aid to areas where it is most needed.
-Ensures that there is an overwhelming element of efficiency within the process and concentrates on how money is spent, not just throwing a vast quantity of money at the problem
-Identifies that some nations with unfortunate circumstances are ruled by oppressive regimes and despots. All aid to the aforementioned tyrannical destinations will be re-directed to peacekeepers and directly given to those in need.
-Acknowledges the shambolic procedure of aid giving in the past, where dictators have used aid to repress their citizens. This act enables countries to cease the process if they feel the leader of the country being given aid is using it in an inappropriate way.
-Allows democratic countries to stop problems at its very foundation. Terrorism, Pirates, Disease, Conflict and Famine come as a result of absolute poverty. By building a better country to give disadvantaged people a better start, we can cut off the supply of the latter problems. It is much cheaper to erase the problem at its roots rather than when it has spiralled into an unprecedented issue.
-It is right, just and fair for this act to be passed as moral, civilised countries should care for those less well-off and it is in our national interest and potentially, the global interest. The transparency that will come as a result of the committee will add a necessary notion of accountability and the prevention of aid falling into the hands of despots will give a much needed sense of relief for destitute people.
