Description:
DECLARING that the level of HIV and AIDS infection across the world has grown to the point whereas it demands immediate action;
DEEPLY DISTURBED over the lack of attention given to the problem;
NOTING FURTHER the NationStates United Nations obligation to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of its member nations;
RECOGNIZING the advances made by the United Nations Resolution #32 "Global AIDS Initiative", as well as its limitations;
BELIEVING that through a series of early diagnosis measures, medical accessibility and education, and further research the world could advance far in eliminating the HIV and AIDS viruses;
REQUESTS the following steps be taken to curb the proliferation of this deadly ailment:
- i. Expansion of the United Nations Council on AIDS (UNAIDS), allocating it sufficient and adequate budget to hire staff and management, purchase top-grade equipment and finance international operations.
- ii. Expansion of the United Nations Council on AIDS (UNAIDS) mission offices to all member states of the United Nations. This project would be slotted to finish after ten yearly budget cycles and the funds will be drawn from that budget to finance it.
- iii. Establishment of Know HIV/AIDS program, which will operate internationally as a media outlet for education and prevention of the virus through on-air public service messages and outdoor advertisements, television and radio programming, and free print and online content.
- iv. Creation of Think HIV/AIDS program that will use a large portion of the funds to explore the following possibilities: (1) nanotechnology and biomedical developments may allow a designer virus and/or micro machine and/or bacterium to safely course through the body and destroy the virus; (2) development of alternatives to blood transfusion – an operation that has helped to spread the virus – including blood substitutes, volume expanders, or new growth factors. These possibilities are to be given priority but in no way restrict nations from expanding their research into other areas of possible cure and/or vaccine and/or treatment.
- v. Establishment of public health departments, a Treat HIV/AIDS program, in developing and poor nations, with the ability to deploy the educational and research programs aforementioned, to be overseen by the IRCO until such time as sufficient and adequate budget and manpower exists to maintain the programs domestically.
- vi. Creation of Eliminate HIV/AIDS program throughout member states that implore the uses of education in schools and hospitals, including seminars for children “coming of age” about the dangers of HIV and AIDS and instructions on how to protect themselves with the most current and efficient methods available in the world.
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT United Nations resolution #42, "Increased Access to Medicine”, a large portion of the funds from the “Eliminate HIV/AIDS" program will be used to teach citizens of the member states who are already infected with HIV or AIDS how to remain in compliance with their medication and therapy regimens, and to teach citizens who are not infected how to avoid coming into contact with the virus;
RECOMMENDS that all member states will adopt a law that punishes those citizens knowledgably infected with the virus that transmit it to other citizens;
DECLARES ACCORDINGLY that all member nations report full statistics of HIV and AIDS infection to the United Nations Council on AIDS (UNAIDS).
