So, here's the draft:
Access to Mental Healthcare
Category: Health | Strength: Significant
The World Assembly,
Noting that those with mental illnesses may have trouble going about their daily lives, especially when it comes to social interactions,
Concerned that some member-states of this esteemed Assembly do not have systems in place to care for the mentally disabled and that in some member-states, mentally disabled people are even discriminated against,
Committed to promoting the well-being of all our citizens by ensuring that their mental health is valued and guarded, hereby:
1. Entrusts the World Assembly Mentally Ill Persons Care Agency (WAMIPCA) to help achieve this goal;
a. Asserts that the WAMIPCA shall keep a public record of all known mental illnesses, and a private record of those who are afflicted by mental illnesses;
2. Encourages member states to set aside a portion of their governments’ yearly budget towards research into treatments and cures for mental illnesses;
3. Mandates that:
a. If a member-state does not already have a government agency akin in purpose to the WAMIPCA, then the member-state shall create one that shall be in charge of assigning nurses and/or other qualified professionals to care for a mentally ill person, at the request of the family of the mentally ill person in question,
b. In order for a person to receive care pertaining to a mental disability from a qualified professional, that person must be certified and recorded in the WAMIPCA database as mentally disabled by a licensed medical expert.
i. Mentally ill citizens of a member-state reserve the right to not be included in the private WAMIPCA database if they so choose
5. Empowers the WAMIPCA to provide care directly to the mentally ill if a member-state is otherwise unable to provide care itself by:
a. Sending licensed medical experts to care for the mentally ill populace of a member-state;
b. Sending licensed medical experts to the member-state to educate its populace on how to care for the mentally ill;
c. Aiding the government of the member-state in establishing care facilities for the mentally ill.
Now, I am a complete newbie when it comes to WA authorship, so please, give me any feedback you have. Also, I checked the list of passed GA resolutions, and none of them are about this topic, so I'm pretty sure this has not been done before, but I could be wrong.
