| 2 | |
| 3 | Reminding all nations that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes that every person |
| 4 | has a right to a standard of living adequate for good health and well-being, |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Recalling Chapter VII, Article 39 of the United Nations Charter, allowing the determination of |
| 7 | threats or breaches against peace in state government, |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Emphasizing Articles 41 and 42, sanctioning the use of political and military power to eliminate |
| 10 | such breaches of the peace, |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Recognizing the historically persistent levels of gang violence within the state of Haiti, |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Deeply concerned over the rapidly increased levels of gang violence in major cities of Haiti, |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Taking into account how intense poverty within Haitian communities has been a direct cause of |
| 17 | increased gang activity and violence within the state, |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Noting with approval the previous efforts from the UN to aid Haitians affected by gang violence, |
| 20 | |
| 21 | We, the delegation of Haiti hereby: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Propose a two-phase plan consisting first of government reformation, followed by an increase in |
| 24 | humanitarian aid and access to education and medical aid across a one-year period, |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Call first for the installment of UN peacekeepers in Port-au-Prince and other gang-ridden cities, the |
| 27 | sending of a council of UN delegates to reform the current Haitian government, and the sending of |
| 28 | some humanitarian aid, |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Recognize that the first phase will cost 120 million USD for one year of government reformation, |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Request additional humanitarian aid, including food, water, water filtration devices, and medicine, |
| 33 | as well as the building of schools and hospitals in major cities in Haiti, |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Recognize that the second phase will cost 58 million USD for the building and staffing of hospitals |
| 36 | and schools for the first quarter and that an additional 150 million will be spent for three quarters |
| 37 | to maintain these structures, |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Seek an additional 370 million USD to fund humanitarian aid in Haiti during the second phase, |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Affirm that the total cost of this two-phase year-long plan is estimated to be 800 million USD, |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Call for continued UN monitoring during the entirety of this year-long plan, and a reassessment of |
| 44 | financial need to ensure its success, |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Reaffirm that a decrease in poverty levels, an increase in educated youth, and a reformation of |
| 47 | Haiti’s government will help to eliminate the persistent levels of gang activity and violence, |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Proclaim that this resolution will take effect on January 1st, 2024. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Further suggesting the need for proper precautionary measures to be taught to the citizens, |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Trusting that the UN will enact this resolution on January 1, 2024. |
