I support this initiative. At the very least, as Antrium suggests, its language is very mild (I refer to the actual terms, not the mild strength). It's a very loose set of guidelines.
The types of programs suggested by the resolution have had the desired effects in many countries, increasing the fortunes of the least well off. While this would not decrease exploitation, nor aid in situations such as Lawtonia went through (OOC: I'm glad you were able to get through that), it would give a mechanism to raise the standard of living.
This helps to increase "Equality of Opportunity", which we see espoused in so many liberal democracies (such as IDU member states).
This resolution is not a threat to any state or market, and can only serve to improve the fortunes of a people. If a state doesn't like it, they can disregard it; that's the beauty of its weakness.
