The question of compensation to civilian victims, or their surviving heirs, of armed conflict

After a conflict ends, or while it is dying down, we see that military casualties are not the only results. Rather there is always a huge signnificant number of civilians that suffer. Damage that occurs to civilians can be very severe, and sometimes people lose their whole life from a conflict, one bomb to a building or a forced withdrawal by troops of the people is all it takes. Therefore now we see that as our efforts are developing in attempting to resolve conflicts in the best manner, if nations cant do this, then we as delegates must be able to stabilize the issue before it affects the civilians in the long term. One of the more efficient ways of dealing with these civilians who have lost everything due to a conflict is compensation, and yet this can be a confusing matter. Many quesitons arise when compensating people, it is not a simple payment that makes everyone happy. Questions such as; who gets how much money? who gets priority in amount of payment? Therefore the delegate of Sudan, whose nation deals with issue right now as many civilians may be left unsatisfied by the handling of compensation. Thus again the delegate of Sudan fully believes that compensation of surviving heirs or victims is a good way of dealing with the damage done to civilians due to conflicts but only if there is well organized structured way of handling it.

1- Recommends that the recognized definition of a civilian victim be one who has suffered during a conflict, and has suffered damages worth equal to or more than $5000, so as to ensure that the matter does not get complicated with smaller and more trivial compensation matters

2- requests that to ensure the validity of all surviving heirs requesting compensation, a system be set up where all heirs provide documented proof that they in fact are related to said civilian victim

3- Urges that to ensure the success of any such implementation of a framework that would compensate civilian victims, that any conflict deemed in need of compensation would require only 3 signatures from GA nations for compensation to be allowed
