Winthrop University Model United Nations

TO: Social & Humanitarian DATE: March 23, 2006 FROM: Egypt SUBJECT: DPRK Aid

1 Aware of the starving population, living in abject poverty, in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK);
2
3 Realizing the need to provide humanitarian aid in the form of food, educational tools, oil, and medical supplies;
4
5 Recognizing that the majority of the United Nations-supplied resources go to the military and elite classes;
6
7 Fully aware that without such aid, the DPRK may turn hostile in their efforts to acquire these resources;
8
9 Taking into consideration the fact that the DPRK has in the past reneged on agreements and contracts;

Calls For:

1. All the states of the United Nations to provide whatever humanitarian assistance they can spare in the areas of food, oil, educational tools (i.e., books and teaching aids), and medical supplies (i.e., antibiotics, common drugs), and to cease aid in the form of mechanical parts and vehicles,

2. Aid to be provided directly to the people of the DPRK using nurses and surgeons once stable relations have been established,

3. Any aggressive action threatening regional stability or against United Nations officials will result in reduction of aid in proportion to the gravity of the aggression, likewise, cooperative policies and actions with the United Nations from the DPRK will result in an increase in aid in proportion to the level of cooperation.
