[DRAFT] International Food Bank

[Karnei Shomron]

RECOGNIZING: The need for food by poor people.

ALSO NOTING: Most nations cannot make sure that people will have food.

HEREBY PROPOSING: That an international Food bank will be established to serve the world's population. To fund this, each nation will have to give the amount of money as they choose.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first proposal.

Category & Strength?

Bob Flibble

Something like that is currently active as a resolution in the WA books, so there is no need to mandate it again. Also:

HEREBY PROPOSING: That an international Food bank will be established to serve the world's population. To fund this, each nation will have to give the amount of money as they choose.

Member states could also choose to give nothing, which defeats the only mandatory clause of the draft.

Fixed that.

This proposal is redundant to already passed WA Legislation. Its a good intentioned idea, but unncessary.

Whenever I get a good idea, it turns out someone already used it.

Apart from redundancy (unless a flaw can be found in the existing resolution), I'm concerned that giving a unit of currency may not be future-proof. What would happen if 100,000 NSG bought well below a penny (0.005 MIT)?

We would amend it.

No you won't.

No you won't.

Thanks. I did not know that.

Thanks. I did not know that.

"There are many helpful documents in the lobby that can help with your career as a WA delegate here, Ambassador. We suggest you check out some of the pamphlets provided before trying to post resolutions. That said, we do appreciate you at least taking the effort to debate your idea here before submitting it to to the GA for quorum. If only more fledgling delegates would do so..." Alexandra smiles warmly before taking her seat.

(OOC: By 'pamphlets', I do of course mean to read the stickies - particularly the one listing passed GA resolutions :-)

[Tarnell]

This proposal, while helping citizens of weaker nations, only creates a financial burden for nations with a stable economy. How will a brand new nation and a very old, economically strong nation contribute to this food bank, while making sure that the nations do not become dependant on foreign aid?

A Food Bank? Does it have refrigerated vaults?

Yeah.
