A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Wildeson
Description: Believing in the sovereign right of minors to their own safety and well-being;
Concerned that there are individuals who still willingly and deliberately abduct minors against their will;
Noting that the abductor can be anyone, whether a stranger, trusted parent, family member or friend;
Defines, for the purposes of this resolution:
Minor: a citizen who is under a nation's established age of majority;
Abductee: a minor who has been abducted by an individual or group of;
Abductor: an individual who has willingly and knowingly kidnapped a minor;
Abduction: the act of kidnapping of a minor or group of minors by force for any reason.
Considers runaways as missing minors, for the purpose of this resolution: such cases will be tagged as such to distinguish from abductions;
Hereby establishes the Return Home Safe Agency (RHSA) to create and maintain the missing minors database and alert system which will track the whereabouts of minors who have been reported as missing or abducted.
Mandates that each member nation shall maintain their own database that shall be accessible only to the law enforcement authorities of the nation.
Urges each member nation to make available their database to RHSA whether or not there is reasonable belief that the missing juveniles have been taken across internationally recognized borders.
Requires that where a minor has more than one parent or guardian, that the accompanying guardian or parent have an authorized notice from the other stating that they are permitted to take the minor across the international border.
Permits non-member participation and cooperation in RHSA for the benefit of safely returning home abducted minors who have been taken across international borders into non-member nations, with the mutual understanding that sovereignty will be respected.
Suggests that upon the safe return of the abductee that the case be considered resolved.
Recommends that should the abductee, unfortunately, be murdered by the abductor, efforts should be made to return the body to the family for an appropriate funeral and to bring the abductor to justice.
The database shall contain the following information but is not limited to:
- The minor's last known whereabouts; where they were kidnapped from
- A physical description of the juvenile; weight, height, unique features
- Their age, date of birth
- Languages known and/or spoken
- A recent photograph (or if unavailable, a sketch) preferably dated within the last three months before the abduction
The alert system shall include but is not limited to broadcasts across all available media (such as TV news), mass notification with alerts going out to all border crossings, transportation hubs and notification to all other legal enforcement authorities in the nation.
The notification shall contain a brief description and a recent photo or sketch of the abductee and information on the abductor if it is available.
Law enforcement authorities of the abductee's nation shall not cross the internationally recognized border without first receiving clearance from the other nation if ever they wish to conduct an investigation abroad.
