Thread: Imaginary UN Resolution about Israel

So I am in a politics class and we got handed out countries, in which I received Israel. What we are supposed to do is write an imaginary UN Resolution from our country's point of view and the class will either pass or veto the resolution.

I know a decent amount about the Middle East and Israel, but I have no idea of what a good resolution would be that could help Israel, but also with other countries agreeing with it that hasn't already been passed by the UN.

So if you could give me an idea for a UN Resolution, that would be awesome.

From your country's point of view? As in, something your country would want to happen, like kicking the rest of the Palestinians out?

Playing on what Invader said, do something really controversial; but realistic enough that you're able to justify it from your country's POV.

This could definitely be an opportunity to flare some debate and get some thought going. Don't be afraid to push the envelope with this one.

The thing is, that I get points based off of whether the class passes it. Yes, Invader, it is something that my country would like to happen but obviously it needs to be something that the international body would accept. I'm having the most trouble thinking of something that hasn't already been passed in the UN...

Exo, pretty much everything that has something to do with the Middle East is controversial, haha. But do you have any specific ideas?

Anti-Blasphemy laws are the big thing right now. Ireland just past a law, and a number of middle eastern countries are petitioning the UN to make it illegal to criticize Islam. You might be able to use that in some way.

That would be interesting, but I think the whole class would basically be against it. I was thinking maybe something simple like the jurisdiction to be able to strike back against any nations or terrorist organizations that attack, but tbh I don't know if there is already something like that or if that is something that wouldn't work?

What I would do, is suggest an unimportant nonbinding resolution, than most people will agree on because there is no reason not to. Like a resolution condemning something as being bad.
