Record of UN Resolutions

The UN Record of Resolutions is an ongoing project to fully document the texts of all resolutions, passed, failed, repealed, and removed, from the very first resolution to the most recent. A project of this magnitude has never been fully completed before - the official records on NationStates only include those resolutions that were passed or repealed, and the UN Timeline on NS Wiki shows in detail each resolution ever attempted, but the text of each is reached through a not-always-reliable link. By placing the full text of every resolution in one place, research and cross-refrencing can be completed much easier than ever before.

Each resolution listed below will be listed in the following format:

Resolution Title

Record Number: # - Official Resolution Number: # - Actual Resolution Number: #

Category - Sub-Category - Author (Link if available)​

Description: Text of resolution

Votes in Favor (Percentage)
Votes Against (Percentage)

Each Resolution Title will be a different color depending on it's outcome:

PASSED Resolutions
FAILED Resolutions
REPEALED Resolutions
DELETED Resolutions

The Record Number refers to the order in which the Resolution reached quorum.
The Official Resolution Number only applies to passed or repealed resolutions, and refers to the order in which the Resolutions were passed.
The Actual Resolution Number applies to passed, deleted, and repealed resolutions, and refers to what the Official Resolution number would be if no resolutions had been deleted.

There are 13 Resolution Categories, including:

• International Security
• Global Disarmament
• Political Stability
• Environment
• Furtherment of Democracy
• Free Trade
• Social Justice
• Human Rights
• Moral Decency
• Gambling
• Gun Control
• Recreational Drug Use
• Repeal

Each Category (except repeal) has two or three subcategories. These are usually Strength ratings which determine the magnitude of the Resolution's effect. In the case of a Repeal, the sub-category is the repealed (original) Resolution.

All data for the Record is obtained from Official UN Archivals and the UN Timeline at NS Wiki. Texts of Deleted and Failed Resolutions are obtained from their respective articles on NS Wiki. Any questions, concerns, or comments about the Record may be sent to Hersfold via Personal Message.

Description: The scourge of slavery yet remains in these progressive times. People are bought and sold like cattle, unable to determine their destiny. Their families are split apart; they are allowed no possessions of their own. They are beaten, chained, and tortured.

Therefore, I propose that the following human rights be given to every peoples of this great world:

- The right to leave her or his job, given two weeks' notice.
- The right to own possessions.
- The right to travel freely throughout their country.
- The right to bodily safety from one's employer.
- The outlawing of the selling or purchasing of people.

Votes FOR: 5,242 (83.5%) - Passed Jan 26, 2003
Votes AGAINST: 1,034

Note: This resolution was passed by the General Assembly, but was deleted by the Game Administrators during the move to the Jolt servers for Game Mechanics violations.

Proposal Limits on NS Wiki

Description: Delegates are often asked to endorse different proposals, however these are hard to find.

I propose that there should be a search function to enable us to find proposals without having to search through 65 pages.

This will make it easier to get proposals approved, since there are so many that none of them have enough votes.

Votes FOR: 6,579 (90.1%) - Passed Jan 30 2003
Votes AGAINST: 721 (9.9%)

Note: This resolution was passed by the General Assembly, but was deleted by the Game Administrators during the move to the Jolt servers for Game Mechanics violations. The search feature was eventually added to the proposals list. This is also the first record to have a nation that is still in existence.

Search Function on NS Wiki

Description:The UN should work as it does in the real world. We need an equivalent to Kofi Annan, who would be voted on by the Regional Delegates.


The Secretary General would create Councils (Security Council, Human Rights Council, Environmental Council, Trade Council, etc.)


Proposals would then go before the appropriate Council for consideration before passing to the Proposal list for consideration by Regional Delegates.


This would weed out stupid proposals, while giving worthwhile proposals a chance to become Resolutions.

Votes in Favor: 1,521 (71.8%) - Passed Feb 6 2003
Votes Against: 597 (28.2%)

Note: This resolution was passed by the General Assembly, but was removed by the Game Administrators during the move to Jolt servers for game mechanics violations and real-life references. Today, the "Secretary General" is considered to be the Game Moderators.

Secretary General on NS Wiki

Description: Too long have UN Proposals been filled with improper grammar. One can scarcely move between two pages of proposals without seeing some sort of grammar or spelling error.

People need to realize that "your" and "you're" are NOT the same word. People also need to realize that "to" and "too" are also not the same word, and that the "Vaticant" does not exist.

Any country that files a proposal with such language shall henceforth be banned from proposals until such time as they understand the English language and can properly convey their ideas.

Votes in Favor: 8,597 (55.5%) - Passed Feb 15 2003
Votes Against: 6,885 (44.5%)

Note: This Resolution was passed by the General Assembly, but was removed by the Game Administrators for game mechanics violations.
