OK... this isnt a debate.... its athread about a debate competion, and there fore in my books falls under the debate category, if not move it and advance apologies
I was just wondering if anyone has ever participated in a Model United NAtions competion... I'm going to the interntional event on friday-sunday, representing chile.... i will be debating in front of abotu a athousand fellow representatives. here is my resolution... does it seem air tight enough? please give a decent critque, its only a first draft and can be changed. and would you sign it United Nations Committee on Human Rights (UNCHR) One Question of: Conditions in Prisons Submitted by: Chile Co-submitted by: UNCHR, Deeply conscious of the rapidly growing world prison population, with over 8.75 million people currently held as pre-detainees or having already been convicted and sentenced world-wide. Noting with concern the less than satisfactory conditions which some of these prisoners endure, for instance prisoner abuse in member states such as Haiti, or the spread of disease in states such as Russia, where it is thought that 10% of the prison population is infected with tuberculosis. Fully alarmed by some governments’ flagrant disregard for The Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (First adopted in 1955). Convinced that more must be done to ensure that a greater number of member states move towards bringing conditions in their prisons up to UN standards. 1) Emphasizes the need for the separation of certain groups, for instance men from women and juveniles from adult prisoners, with the aim of reducing sexual and physical abuse. 2) Further recommends the education of prison staff in the beliefs of major religious/ethnic groups in order to increase awareness of what is likely to cause offence to inmates. 3) Deplores the holding of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay with out trial, and urges member states to reduce pre-trial imprisonment to the minimum possible time period. 4) Acknowledges that countries such as Chile have been in difficult periods of government transition in recent years, and that as such prison conditions have been of little concern, but calls upon the fledgling governments to look upon the issue with renewed concern. 5) Reaffirms need for greater adherence to existing UN laws. 6) Calls for tougher action against states which breech existing UN guidelines. 7) Expresses hope for further support in improving global prison conditions in all member states, especially those with high prison populations. |
