[DRAFT] «Support for microbiological diversity»

Postby Imperial Catorianis » Sun Dec 15, 2024 2:37 am

Text:

The General Assembly, taking into account the key role of microbiological diversity in the maintenance of ecosystems, human health, as well as its importance for agriculture, food security and environmental conservation.

Defining the following for the purposes of this resolution:
    Microbiological diversity is the various types of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, archaea and protozoa that live and interact in various ecosystems.

Realizing that the loss of microbiological diversity can lead to various serious consequences for both ecosystems and human health.

Reaffirming the importance of scientific research and monitoring of micro biomes in various environments, including soil, water, and human biomes.

Emphasizing the need for international cooperation and knowledge sharing to protect and restore microbiological diversity on Earth.

Hereby call upon the WA Member State to take the following measures:
  1. To develop and implement national strategies for the protection of microbiological diversity.
  2. Encourage the integration of microbiological diversity issues into educational programs.
  3. Support efforts to raise awareness of the importance of microbiological diversity among the general public.


This draft resolution was written by me with the assistance of the National Front and Moduland and will be submitted by it to the General Assembly in the future

The General Assembly, taking into account the key role of microbiological diversity in the maintenance of ecosystems, human health, as well as its importance for agriculture, food security and environmental conservation.

Defining the following for the purposes of this resolution:
    Microbiological diversity is the diversity of pro-eukaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, which represent a large part of the Earth's biodiversity.

Realizing that the loss of microbiological diversity can lead to various serious consequences for both ecosystems and human health.

Reaffirming the importance of scientific research and monitoring of micro biomes in various environments, including soil, water, and human biomes.

Emphasizing the need for international cooperation and knowledge sharing to protect and restore microbiological diversity on Earth.

Hereby call upon the WA Member State to take the following measures:
  1. To develop and implement national strategies for the protection of microbiological diversity providing for the development and use of methods to diagnose the state of the microbiota, methods for preserving and restoring disturbed natural microbiocenoses of humans, farm animals and plants, as well as food production that normalize the microbiota of the human body.
  2. Encourage the integration of microbiological diversity issues into educational programs.
  3. Support efforts to raise awareness of the importance of microbiological diversity among the general public.

This is a good start, but I have a few concerns. The first is with the definition of "microbiological diversity" which instead seems to be a definition of, perhaps, "environmental microorganisms," but definitely not the definition of an adjective like "diversity."

The other is that I walk away from this proposal unclear what it suggests, specifically, be done to meet the requirements of clause a. What would that actually look like? Can you nail it down well enough to spell it out in your proposal without too much loss of the generality that you seem to be going for?

Needs a clause clarifying that member nations can still try to limit harmful micro-organisms...

Thanks, I've made the necessary changes.

Just a recommendation: try to keep your most recent draft in your OP, and keep all of the other drafts in one place (with spoilers, like you already are)

Despite the fact that our feedback has lost its activity, the resolution under discussion is far from perfect, we need your criticism, questions and suggestions, this makes the resolution better.

Some doubts have been expressed about the use of the word diversity, and I will try to figure it out. Thank you to Azov steel 2022 for drawing attention to this.

I don't see how the relevant term for this proposal has doubts that you should take seriously.

OOC: I like the idea of this proposal, so made some changes above. I bolded all my proposed edits to make it easier to find. Some are straightforward, like changing human to sapients as the World Assembly is represented by various species. Some are a bit more structural to spread out some of the phrases for ease of reading. The biggest addition I had was Articles 2 and 3, which assign a WA organ to collect the findings of all the methods, studies, etc you outlined in Article 1. I think that helps in the sharing of information.

If you appreciate the recommendations, use them, and believe my contributions warrant inclusion as a co-author, I would gladly accept. If not, that is fine too.

Thanks!

Okay, but in my opinion, this resolution has not yet reached perfection, otherwise the General Assembly secretariat would not have recognized it as illegitimate.

Does "microbiological diversity" include infectious disease vectors such as the influenza virus and coronaviruses which are harmful to sapient species (and can normally be readily vaccinated against)?

Oh, thank you very much, we will be happy to accept you as a co-author, I will talk to the National Front or you can send him a telegram and tell him about your intentions yourself, in turn I would like to cooperate with you.
