Further Dissuading Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction

The United Nations Security Council,

Noting with deep concern that total global military expenditures have only continued to increase in recent years, with expenditures passing 2 trillion USD for the first time,

Further emphasizing the dangerous rhetoric around nuclear weapons emerging from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and from nations presently engaged in unnecessary and unprovoked warfare against their sovereign neighbors,

Deeply disturbed by Secretary General António Guterres’ 2018 comments that “there are troubling signs that the nuclear agenda is now moving in the wrong direction,”

Deeply conscious of the humanitarian impact nuclear weapons carry, including severe and devastating loss of human life, social and political disruption, and the decades-long effort it takes to rebuild areas devastated by nuclear destruction,

Fully believing that the effects of nuclear weaponry affect not only those who are targeted, but also their neighbors and allies on the international scale,

1. Reaffirms the importance of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons;
2. Further proclaims that sanctions will be placed on nations that engage in nuclear testing or publicly threaten the use of nuclear weapons;
3. Calls upon the immediate temporary expulsion of any nation from the United Nations Security Council if nuclear weapons are used against another country, effective immediately after the passage of this resolution;
4. Recommends that the conditions of reinstatement of a Security Council seat will be decided by the remaining members of the Security Council, and clear conditions of reinstatement will be made public soon after expulsion.

Cooperation in Afghanistan Against ISIS

The United Nations Security Council, 

Troubled by the refusal of the United Nations Credentials Committee to recognize Mohammed Suhail Shaheen as the new representative of Afghanistan after internal changes in governance, despite the government’s clear and unambiguous endorsement,

Sickened by this blatant display of imperialistic entitlement as partisan UN officials defy the will, autonomy, and national sovereignty of an independent nation state,

Hopeful that the newly reconstituted Credentials Committee will see fit to amend its predecessor’s mistake,

Recognizing that while the new government of Afghanistan has successfully reduced armed conflict in the region, ISIS-K and al-Qaeda both remain present and are responsible for over 2100 civilian casualties in just the last year,

Concerned that the global refusal to accept the legitimate government of Afghanistan is preventing Afghanistan from accepting support in fighting this terrorist threat when the US and other nations have offered it,

Recalling how ISIS and al-Qaeda have perpetrated global terrorist attacks and present a threat worthy of UN intervention,

1. Calls on the new Credentials Committee to correct their predecessor’s decision and immediately recognize Shaheen, in accordance with Afghanistan’s expressed wishes;
2. Dispatches 10,000 UN Peacekeepers to assume leadership of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan and provide support to local authorities in fighting terrorism and maintaining local peace.

Restoring Energy Security in Europe

The United Nations Security Council, 

Noting with deep concern that the unnecessary conflict between Russia and Ukraine has put extreme tension on energy global exports,

Bearing in mind that Russia has historically provided up to 40% of Europe’s natural gas, an essential resource for transport, electricity production, and heating,

Recognizing that recent Nord Stream sabotage has blocked almost all Russian gas imports,

Noting further rising energy costs across Europe will continue to grow exponentially during the winter when energy is needed the most,

Expecting that without further action blackouts will not only lead to energy rationing, but also extreme hardship, loss of life, and economic disaster throughout Europe,

1. Authorizes the UN to deploy mediators to have oversight of and act as a mediator for all EU energy rationing conflicts from the present to February 2023;
2. Requests 50 million dollars to be provided to the Council of the EU for energy cost relief and infrastructure upgrades;
3. Understands that these funds are contingent on the acceptance of UN mediators in EU energy rationing decisions and conflicts;
4. Declares that a UN Commission on Mediterranean Energy Efficiency (UNMCEE) will be created to assess the cost for infrastructure and capacity upgrades for the Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline that could possibly allow increased natural gas imports into Europe by 2024;
5. Further requests that UNMCEE findings be considered at future Security Council meetings, and shared openly with the peoples of Europe and the European Union.

World Bank Authority to Issue Digital Currencies

The United Nations Security Council,

Recognizing exceptionally high rates of inflation across the developed world,

Recalling the use of various digital currencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, as inflation-resistant stores of value,

Troubled by the potential effects of large scale economic warfare between competing currencies and currency frameworks,

Recognizing the potential for digital currencies to streamline economic transactions and maximize efficiency,

Further recognizing a similar potential for misuse, money laundering, and financing illegal activity inherent to decentralized digital currencies,

Disappointed that the benefits of digital currencies are unevenly distributed and inaccessible to many of the least advantaged nations,

Applauding India’s Aadhar system as a unified framework for distributing funds and monitoring transactions, and encouraged by its yet greater potential when synthesized with digital currencies,

Concerned by criticisms that the United Nations and World Bank unfairly advantage nations whose currency they denominate loans and grants in,

1. Proposes that a centralized digital currency using blockchain technology, deployed by the World Bank, could streamline UN loans, block criminal activity, and provide a truly international basis of exchange while preventing currency wars;
2. Calls on the World Bank to issue such a currency in World United Nations Denomination for Exchange of Resources Coins, hereafter “WUNDERcoins,”
3. Further calls on the World Bank to establish all necessary exchange and distribution frameworks deemed necessary to support the the use and tracking of WUNDERcoins;
4. Declares that all future World Bank loans shall be denominated in WUNDERcoins;
5. Declares that the World Bank shall be the sole source of WUNDERcoins, which shall not be earned by proof of work or proof of stake methods but only by grant of UN loans;
6. Notes that all current and future funds retained by the World Bank in other currencies shall be held as backing to guarantee the value of WUNDERcoins and counteract global inflation;
7. Declares that select officials of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) will have full access to all transaction histories using WUNDERcoins, and the ability to track, block, or freeze funds in cooperation with the World Bank.

Removing Patent Protections for Developing Nations

The United Nations Security Council,

Condemning the current model of international patent law that benefits only the wealthiest and most developed nations,

Alarmed by the impact neocolonialism has on developing countries that have historically been victims of debilitating imperialistic control,

Deeply concerned by the fact that patent protections often keep the poorest countries from receiving the resources needed to continue to develop,

Fully aware that the Covid-19 pandemic has only continued to exacerbate the divide between fully developed and still developing nations,

1. Reaffirms that the ability to effectively develop industry and technology allows greater social benefits, economic prosperity, and decreases the impact of devastating conflicts;
2. Declares accordingly that henceforth any future Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) protections for vital medicine, technology, and research necessary for development will be waived for all developing nations and matching patents will not be filed in such;
3. Accepts that the definition for developing nations will be consistent with UN definitions.

Wielding Sanctions to Correct Disinformation

The United Nations Security Council, 

Concerned by the extreme spread and influence of disinformation, that the WHO has declared an “infodemic,”

Further concerned that some nations have allowed such loathsome and contemptible practices to take root within their nations, and lack sufficient incentive to uproot such corruption,

Deeply troubled that these authors are allowed to publish blatantly false information about foreign leaders while remaining immune to legal prosecution outside the state they slander,

Deploring the heavy hand of disinformation as a tool of imperialism and colonialism, a threat to global cultures, and a weapon of foreign indoctrination,

Fully believing that without further action the global community will fracture around this eminently unnecessary war on truth, 

1. Demands that no nation state produce or publish disinformation, or allow any individual or group within their sovereign territory to do so;
2. Calls on all United Nations member states to impose sanctions on states known to produce or publish disinformation to the international sphere, or that harbor those who do;
3. Establishes that such sanctions must be preceded with a formal warning submitted in writing to a relevant operative of the offending state, and no less than five workdays of time for the disinformation to be corrected or removed;
4. Clarifies that while purely internal disinformation is detestable, it is not an international offense or concern and not worthy of such sanctions;
5. Advises that such sanctions be applied in proportion to the gravity of the offense and the degree of cooperation from the state that allowed such offenses to occur, as deemed appropriate by the sanctioning state and revised as necessary to encourage cooperation;
6. Understands that sanctions will persist only until the cited disinformation is corrected or removed from the international sphere.
