Hey guys, so I guess no one really seemed too motivated about returning to discussion on the wiki. It also appears that little discussion has occurred on the blog as well. Below is the proposed draft resolution 2.1 which we will be voting on today:
The Asian Summit on the Rights of Women and Children,
Recognizing the growing issue of both human trafficking and prostitution that exist in high frequencies throughout greater Asia;
Noting with great concern the colossal violation on human rights that has for too long been ignored by members of the international community;
Hoping to bring an end to the gross injustice that is human trafficking and prostitution;
Calls for the stricter enforcement of international borders, so as to reduce the number of trafficked humans;
Declares prostitution as illegal and a punishable offense;
Proposes internationally adopted ‘zero tolerance policies’ that will address the
issue of human trafficking and prostitution with judicial zeal;
Stresses the need for better and more consistent education for women, in hope that more educated women will be at less of a risk for human trafficking and exploitation;
Suggests the implementation of a system aiding the safe deportation of previously trafficked person, current illegal aliens, to their country of origin;
Suggests further, as part of the previous clause, that rehabilitation and reeducation facilities for victims of human trafficking and similar exploitation be instituted in countries of destination.
If there is something you want to add or remove, either post it (boost your online grade) or just bring it to class. I have enjoyed doing this mock summit meeting so far, although I think it would have been better if the summit was our only academic focus and we could likewise divert all our time and efforts to it rather than give it a small fraction of our efforts like we have been doing. I think this week has been crazy for all of us, and the product of our labors for this summit is not equal to that which we are capable of given rest and reliquished of stress. Nonetheless, it has been a good show and I look forward to our next one.

I agreed with much of what was said in this resolution. However, one very important point that I thought was missing was the creation of a council, in order to make sure that these resolutions are being upheld and to assist those countries who need help to uphold them. I think during the summit people would tend to forget that some countries have limited resources to uphold these newly formed resolutions. That is why it is important to have a council because it gives a support system and the resources for those countries who are not able to uphold these resolutions on their own.
