Repeal Resolution:
| QUOTE |
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED NATIONS
ACKNOWLEDGING the principle of the basic Human Right to sanitary water;
APPLAUDING the efforts of the authors of UN Resolution #114, “Establish UNWCC”;
CONCERNED, however, with the validity of the scientific arguments used in support of UN Resolution #114, specifically:
A) The claim that “sewage and waste water pumped in from surrounding areas” can serve as a reliable source of safe drinking water.
 The further claim that artificial oases and reserves using “hydroponic plants” can adequately cleanse the wastewater and sewage, making it safe for human consumption.
UNCONVINCED that these methods represent the most efficient and economical means of delivering safe drinking water, particularly in developing nations and areas where sanitary sewage systems are non-existent;
FURTHER, believing that there are more conventional and scientifically proven methods of providing safe drinking water;
HEREBY repeals UN Resolution #114, “Establish UNWCC”. |
Original Resolution:
| QUOTE |
The United Nations,
OBSERVING the neglect of the basic Human Right to sanitary water;
NOTING that lack of sanitary water is the leading cause of death in third world countries;
FURTHER NOTING the absence of past resolutions in favor of sanitary water and its accessibility;
IN THE INTEREST OF providing third world regions with sanitary water;
1. ESTABLISHES a new UN funded committee of scientists and engineers, the United Nations Water Cleansing Committee (UNWCC), to use the sewage and waste water pumped in from surrounding areas to create fresh, sanitary water by means of plant life;
2. AUTHORIZES the committee to create artificial oases and reserves which will hold water and use hydroponic plants to cleanse the waste-water of all phosphorous, nitrates, salts, and ammonia which render it unfit for human consumption;
3. BELIEVES WITH SCIENTIFIC MERIT that the water, having been cleansed by these plants, will be sanitary enough for those disadvantaged peoples who previously had limited access to quality water; and
4. SUGGESTS that the establishment of the UNWCC would further human rights and raise the quality of life for millions of people.
