The General Assembly :
“Nothing can justify the horrid October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas. We reiterate our call for the
immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and nothing can justify the collective punishment of
the Palestinian people. It is time for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and for every second that we
waste, more and more innocent lives are lost so we must take immediate action.”- United Nations Security
Council
Deeply disturbed by the fact that more than 200 humanitarian workers have been heartlessly murdered
within the first 6 months of this conflict,
Noting deep concern due to the number of casualties from this conflict as it has been estimated to have
reached over 38,800 and over 2 million individuals displaced.
Aware of the engagement of activities directly against essential infrastructure,
1. Encourages countries to cut off their supply of weapons to Hamas and other terrorist
organisations by many ways. These include having diplomatic, political, and strategic approaches
to a weapons embargo should be imposed on Israel, Palestine and Hamas under the guidance of
the general assembly. This will reduce the risk of threats and attacks.Another approach we could
take is Building alliances with countries that influence suppliers to all the parties involved and are
geographically in close proximity to these 3 groups.
2. Setting up specialist teams on sites to evacuate the displaced civilians in safer surrounding
countries (medical, rescue). This Will be undertaken by international humanitarian organisations
such as the UNHCR and the WHO along with local NGOs, such as the UK NGO MapAction,
3. A multinational committee called the UNIPOA (United Nations Israel-Palestine Overseeing
Agency) which will encourage peacebuilding and monitoring the funds being provided from
external countries and organisations agreed upon by representatives of both Israel and Palestine. (
This committee will be lead by the DISEC and will be considered a subcommittee of DISEC)
such goals can be achieved by:
○ Implementing laws and regulations such as treaties to prevent any mishap while creating
a two-state resolution, similarly to The Oslo Peace Accords, 1993.
○ Gathering direct financial support from countries for humanitarian assistance, and for
humanitarian aid organisations to provide a more effective response to this crisis.
Purpose and Objectives:
International Oversight-: Establishing a specialised governor body to oversee the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict ensuring coordinated and sustainable effort to address
the humanitarian needs, facilitating peace, and enforcing international law. This
governing body will disband after a reliable and effective treaty has been drafted
and agreed upon by both the parties, and a successful 10-year observation and
testing period.
Composition:
Balanced Representation- Involving representatives from donor countries,
international humanitarian agencies, relevant UN bodies and other stakeholders
to maintain a balanced approach. Involves 20% surrounding countries and the
remaining will include 50 % israel and 20% Palestine
Mandate:
Humanitarian Oversight-: Monitor the delivery and distribution of humanitarian
aid to ensure it reaches those in need without obstruction, with the help of the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency ( UNRWA ),
Peace Negotiations: Facilitate and mediate peace negotiations between Israel and
Palestine, providing a continuous platform for dialogue,
Reconstruction Coordination: Coordinate international efforts for the
reconstruction of infrastructure and homes, ensuring efficient use of resources
and avoiding duplication of efforts,
Regulation of Foreign Intervention: Establish guidelines and agreements to
manage foreign involvement, focusing on humanitarian aid rather than military
support,
○ Enforcement Mechanisms:
International Accountability: Strengthen mechanisms to hold accountable those
responsible for war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law
including and not limited to the 1949 Geneva Convention,
Inclusion of Stakeholders: Include nations with advanced weaponry in
discussions to foster a comprehensive and inclusive approach to regulating such
technologies,
Independent Investigations: Conduct independent investigations into allegations
of abuses and ensure perpetrators are brought to justice,
Sanctions for Non-Compliance: Implement sanctions against nations or groups
that violate the principles of the governing body, including:
● Military and Economic Sanctions: Impose sanctions that cripple the
ability to wage war or continue unethical practices,
● Revocation of Rights: Revoke the licence or ability to own certain types
of weapons, including the confiscation of AI and other advanced
weapons used unethically,
○ Operations:
Field Offices: Establish field offices in key areas to ensure ground-level presence
and real-time monitoring,
Funding: Secure long-term and consistent funding commitments from
international donors and financial institutions to maintain consistent support and
resources,
○ Collaboration with Existing Bodies:
Integration with UN and Other International Organizations: Work closely with
the United Nations, the International Red Cross, and other relevant bodies to
enhance coordination and leverage existing resources and expertise.
Implementing the two state solution as they will be handling this
○ Establishing clear and mutually agreed upon borders between the two states ensures
security as well and ensures these boundaries are respected and maintained by both states
promoting.
○ The division of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 borders with land swaps,
ensuring territorial continuity and fair resourcing sharing.
○ Adding signed treaties to prevent any mishap from occurring, especially from other
countries, can benefit this as if some country plans to interfere.
4. Establish clear international agreements to stop foreign countries who are not well versed in the
problem at hand to step away from the conflict and instead provide help through humanitarian
aid:
○ Drafting of Agreements which include detailed and formulated treaties where foreign
intermission is impermissible and detailed knowledge of the conflict must be shown
before any direct involvement,
○ Creation of international monitoring bodies to oversee and ensure foreign countries can
support without any direct intervention and the prevention of entanglement in political or
military conflict,
○ Drastic sanctions and incentives ensure compliance, and countries that intervene without
proper understanding could face diplomatic or economic penalties,
5. Create regular supply drops for the refugees at the refugee camps, and start evacuation into
nearby countries, (families to be provided with a feasible settlement fund to be allowed to settle
comfortably)
○ Implement safe passages and temporary shelter and reception through surrounding
countries such as Egypt,
○ To create conditions conducive to the immediate return of Palestinians, who were forced
to flee their homes during the war in Gaza, to their areas of residence
○ Include coordination and logistics for the supply relief drops monitored by the UNIPOA,
○ the establishment of a humanitarian corridor, secured and monitored, to ensure the safe
and timely delivery of aid. This corridor would facilitate the entry of essential supplies
and the rotation of humanitarian staff without undue delays or security threats,
6. Implementing technological mechanisms for humanitarian aid, especially in war zones, including
and not limited to surveillance drones: Technology used could include Drones and UAVS;
Satellite Imagery and surveillance using HAPPS;
○ Deploy HAPPS (solar powered) surveillance drones to identify terrorist and military
movements in the area and determine safe passages to supply aid and refuge evacuation
making use of lidar to provide a comprehensive 3d scan of the terrain and area,
○ Establish a system of drones to create a communication network, providing access to
communication in an otherwise remote zone,
○ Deploying a mapping system which identifies zones with a high population of civilians,
providing necessary information to make plans for supplying aid.
