Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Outlaw

Description: DEFINING for the purposes of this resolution, a "recreational drug" as a chemical substance whose primary purpose is to act upon the central nervous system where it alters brain function, resulting in temporary or permanent changes in perception, mood, consciousness and/or behavior,
AWARE that member nations may not wish to outlaw drugs,
OBSERVING that trafficking of drugs across borders may lead to large untaxed amounts of money being poured from one nation to another,

FURTHER NOTING that drug trafficking in many instances directly funds terrorism and illegal weapon trade,
CONCLUDING that cutting down on international drug trafficking will benefit all nations involved economically and socially,
THEREFORE HEREBY MANDATING all member nations to follow this resolution that is:
§1 ENACTING that nations put immediately into effect laws imposing a fine, imprisonment, or other such forms of correctional action that are allowed by the UN upon drug traffickers.
§2 DEFINING international drug traffickers as any individuals who are caught involved in the international:
-Buying
-Selling
-Otherwise exchanging in any form
of drugs that were not legally passed through the borders of the nations involved.
§3 URGING member nations to consider imposing sanctions on nations who do not follow similar courses of action.
§4 ADVISING each member nation to consider imposing sanctions on nations who do follow similar courses of action, but fail to present their choice of correctional action as sufficient and fitting for the crime committed.
REITERATING, finally, that member nations who do carry out legal drug trade will be able to continue to do so.
