Quote: Developed Economic Advancement
A resolution to develop industry around the world.
Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Protective Tariffs
Proposed by: Belarum
Description: General Assembly of the United Nations,
REFFERRING to Section I of Resolution #49 (Rights and Duties of UN States) in order to better illustrate this resolution,
DISTURBED by the many UN nations which have overlooked and directly circumvented the authority of previous UN legislation through a recent increase in free trade initiatives,
FURTHER DISTURBED by the adverse effects of free trade in a many number of UN nations, which includes the exploitation of labor in many underdeveloped nations, the crippling of smaller businesses which cannot compete with multinational corporations with access to cheap labor in poorer nations, and massive job loss in developed nations, which has been proven to lead to increased rates of crime, poverty, and drug abuse,
DETERMINED, through this resolution, to enact legislation which can lend a helping hand to those displaced through free trade and outline an effective plan to advance the economies of individual nations,
MANDATES the following:
1) All UN nations have the authority to enact protective tariffs on foreign goods and services in order to protect their labor forces and industries, given these tariffs are not forbidden by any previous UN legislation;
2) All UN nations have the authority to enact embargoes on foreign goods and services in order to protect their labor forces and industries, or as a means of protesting the acts of nations, given these embargoes are not forbidden by any previous UN legislation;
3) All UN nations have the authority to set their own taxation policies on all foreign goods and services entering their nation, given these taxation policies are not forbidden by any previous UN legislation.
AFFIRMING that the option to trade freely with another nation should be left to the discretion of each nation engaged or desiring to engage in such actions, and that this legislation may be invoked by individual nations which seek not to participate in future UN free trade initiatives,
ENCOURAGING the practice of ?fair trade?, which is defined as an equitable and fair relationship between the marketers in one nation to the producers in another, actively working to provide the labor of producer nations with livable wages, hours, benefits, and opportunities for advancement,
HEREBY enacts Developed Economic Advancement.

If you would like to know, this resolution goes up to vote and either passes or fails after Rights of the Disabled. I hope someone or a few people can post here with their opinions. I wonder when the next time someone repeals something will be. It would be interesting to have a repeal, or even just another resolution. I'll have you know Yelda's trying to do a repeal of ALC. It would be a vicious debate, one I wouldn't want to get into myself if that gets to queue.
