There is no guarantee that there will be time to debate all of these resolutions. The selection and order of these and any other resolutions will be debated at the discretion of the Secretary-General.
Some motions may change without notice, at times related to world events after the publication of resolutions and prior to MUNA.
The Secretary General will also consider the inclusion of a resolution presented by individual Member Nations or blocs, provided that the resolution is proposed in writing, with an identified proposer and a seconder, and presented to the Secretary-General before the beginning of the assembly
PEACE AND SECURITY
1) This assembly reaffirms the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination including the right to an independent State of Palestine.
2) This assembly urges all member nations to take legislative measures to ensure that their territories and nationals will not be used for the recruitment, assembly, financing, training and transit of mercenaries.
3) This assembly calls for the immediate cessation of any form of nuclear weapons testing in line with the Comprehensive Nuclear test ban Treaty already established, with the longer term objective of working towards the total abolition of all nuclear weapons.
4) This assembly calls for those nations participating in the Afghanistan Compact to exercise increased support though United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and cooperation with International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to develop a holistic approach to restoring political, economic and social stability to the area.
HUMANITARIAN ISSUES:
5) This assembly calls on all member nations to act positively to protect women’s rights in Iraq and to improve conditions for women and girls who are yet to feel the benefits of Iraq’s recovery.
6) This assembly welcomes the global trend towards the abolition of capital punishment and supports the conclusions and recommendations of the report on the 2007 resolution declaring a moratorium on the death penalty.
7) This assembly urges all member nations to act in the spirit of solidarity and share the burden and responsibility in addressing the third country settlement needs of African refugees.
8) This assembly reaffirms the commitments outlined in the Monterrey Consensus and calls for immediate and decisive action from all member nations to alleviate the impact of the world financial and economic turmoil on development.
ENVIRONMENT
9) This assembly recognises that all member nations are greatly concerned about the impact of global warming and the ensuing climate change and notes that these are symptoms of the much deeper problem of over population. Therefore this assembly urges member nations to commence working to develop values systems and actions which will eventually lead to a condition of sustainable population.

It urges all government drawing water from such catchments to develop whole-of-system water management agreements which recognise, safeguard the rights to, and the quality of the water in these systems.
11) This Assembly requires all Members Nations to adopt a moratorium on all whaling including that conducted for claimed scientific purpose.
