Presented as part of the MUN B 2023 conference
| 1 | To the General Assembly: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Recalling the Charter of the United Nations and its commitment to promote and encourage respect |
| 4 | for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or |
| 5 | religion, |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Reaffirming the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which recognizes the inherent dignity and |
| 8 | equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family, |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Acknowledging the significant challenges posed by the refugee crisis in Slovenia and recognizing |
| 11 | the responsibility of the international community to address and resolve this humanitarian issue, |
| 12 | allowing these refugees to seek asylum without persecution, |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Considers the fact that as of 2023, the number of Slovenian refugees was 10,140, a 937.54% |
| 15 | increase from 2021, with the number rapidly increasing, |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Expressing profound concern over the security and well-being of refugees found in Slovenia, as |
| 18 | well as the surrounding regions of Austria and Hungary, which have obtained nearly 95,000 and |
| 19 | 35,000 current Ukrainian refugees, |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Encourages the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other relevant |
| 22 | international organizations to work closely with the government of Slovenia to enhance its capacity |
| 23 | to receive, process, and support refugees, including by providing technical assistance, training, |
| 24 | and financial resources. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The Delegation of Slovenia hereby: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Requests the United Nations to donate a starting amount of $35 million each year for three years |
| 29 | to assist this humanitarian crisis affecting Slovenia and its neighboring countries, Austria and |
| 30 | Hungary, by building and providing adequate housing and medical resources for persons in need of |
| 31 | asylum; |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Recognizes that the annual budget of the UN is around 3.4 billion and the construction cost of |
| 34 | housing that accommodates twenty individuals is about 150,000 USD per home; |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Notes that these homes will take approximately six months to manufacture, and feels that starting |
| 37 | the building process immediately after an ample amount of time to plan and strategize the most |
| 38 | convenient location and other constructional factors would be most beneficial; |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Reminds the UN that along with persons seeking refuge in Slovenia, these housing safe havens |
| 41 | would provide appropriate assistance to those seeking refuge in Austria and Hungary, a nation in |
| 42 | need of significant support due to an overwhelming amount of refugees; |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Emphasizes that executing this plan will drastically improve the quality of life for refugees |
| 45 | throughout Slovenia, Hungary, and Austria and urges the UN to fulfill our requests. |
