7. Noting with mixed feelings that there has not been any extensive success, in neither 3rd world nor
8. developed countries,
9. Deeply concerned with lack of enforcement in countries that do have initiative combating human
10. trafficking in place,
11. Bearing in mind that should no dynamic action be taken, this issue will not solve itself,
12. Noting further that these laws rarely target the root cause of trafficking,
13. Believing that global action currently being taken is insufficient,
14. Affirming individual nations recognize the best course of action for their people,

15. Encourages sovereign nations to take initiative to both institute laws combating human trafficking
16. as well as make sure their own official enforce such laws;
17. Reminds that there are many things that cause people to turn to human trafficking:
18. a. poverty,
19. b. regional instability,
20. c. inadequate education regarding the topic,
21. d. lack punishment towards criminals,
22. e. former victims sometimes becoming offenders,
23. f. tumultuous family life, that results in children being sold into the trafficking trade;
24. Recommends main action be taken to include:
25. a. the implementation and enforcement of a global zero-tolerance policy against traffickers,
26. b. educate countries on how to catch, prevent, and deal with traffickers,
27. c. institute ‘half way houses’ to help victims of human trafficking back into mainstream society,
28. d. making sure individual countries know the root cause and situation of the problem, seeing as
29. it differs between places, and craft policies to meet their own needs as well as the UN’s,
30. e. Infrastructural work to give alternatives to people trapped in trafficking;
31. Solemnly affirms that many people trapped in trafficking chains do not seek help for many reasons,

36.d. dependency on their ‘masters’;
36. Calls attention to many instances where sex trafficking victims try to seek help, yet are jailed for
38. prostitution;
39. Further requests that countries take action to make sure that trafficking victims are treated as such
40. and not punished for coming forward to escape the heinous human trade;
41. Further invites countries to take national interest in human trafficking as to make sure the people
42. are well educated in the topic;
43. Recommends countries appropriate an adequate amount of funds toward initiatives to stunt human trafficking
44. within their own bounds;
45. Designates that should all countries take steps to eradicate the trade of people and help the victims the end of the
46. trafficking trade should be within hindsight;
47. Supports initiatives within countries that severely punish offenders as to deter any person that may think to join the

*I'm really sorry, the lettering/italics/underlines got messed up when I posted (all the spacing disappeared) I'm going to try to just type up the whole resolution on the site next time, because I'm not sure how else to fix the problem. If the formatting on this one isn't good enough, let me know and I'll try to fix it ASAP. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience. :-/

REDO

Connie, you've got a lot of good information here, but there are some things that could use work:

1) Line 11, I think that if we didn't have to do anything about the problem, we wouldn't bother talking about it. Also, you're operative clauses are kind of doing just that, solving the issues, so you might want to revise that line.
2) In your operative clauses, a lot of your clauses seem like they belong in the preambulatory clauses. Lines 17-23 seem like things that are background information. There are other clauses you might want to look at as well. Just remember that preambulatory clauses are how you set up the issue, and the operative clauses are the actions that need to be taken. I think if you keep that in mind, it'll be better. Other than that, you've got really good information, you just need to organize it a little better.

Thanks, sorry about that, I must've forgotten to rearrange parts of it before posting.

All I needed was to revise line 11 and rearrange/edit some of the lines right?
