Rights Of The Quarantined
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
Category: Health | Area of Effect: Healthcare | Proposed by: Umeria
The World Assembly, Understanding that there are many communicable diseases which spread easily if they are not treated hastily; Noting that there are times when some communicable diseases cannot be treated hastily; Realizing that such diseases should instead be promptly contained to prevent an international epidemic; Recognizing that in order to efficiently contain a disease, drastic measures are sometimes necessary; Further understanding that in those cases, individual rights are often subverted in order to efficiently contain the disease; Further noting that there are nations that take this subversion too far, and oppress their citizens in the name of disease control; Wishing to ensure that every victim of an epidemic, even those in nations otherwise unable to promptly contain an outbreak, is safely quarantined without any unnecessary impingement of basic rights; Hereby1) Tasks the Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Center to define as a "serious disease" any disease which is harmful and contagious enough to create the need of a quarantine in the case of an outbreak of the disease; 2) Defines, for the purposes of this resolution: - an "epidemic" as a time, in a nation, when there are enough people with the same serious disease(as defined by the EPARC) to be clearly in excess of the normal expectancy;
- an "infected person" as any person with a serious disease in a nation undergoing an epidemic of that disease;
- a "quarantine" as any area where infected persons are kept in isolation in order to halt the spread of the disease;
- a "treatment" as any action done to an infected person with the purpose of:
- curing the infected person;
- rendering the infected person non-contagious;
- ensuring the infected person does not undergo any unnecessary harm; and/or
- ensuring the infected person is not deprived of any necessities a non-infected person would normally receive;
3) Recommends that all member nations, in the event of an epidemic in their nation, screen for any infected persons in that nation not yet known to be infected; 4) Requires that all member nations, to the best of their capability: - create at least one quarantine per epidemic in the nation;
- move all infected persons into the appropriate quarantine that is nearest to their current location;
- provide every treatment to all infected persons that are in a quarantine while taking any available precaution to ensure that the people administering these treatments are not infected;
- move anyone that ceases to be an infected person out of the quarantine;
- disband all quarantines of a certain epidemic when the epidemic ends; and
5) Mandates that the EPARC cover the costs of the requirements in clause 4 for any member nation that has difficulty maintaining quarantines; 6) Establishes a medical ethics board within the EPARC, tasking it to: - review matters of necessity and promulgation within quarantines;
- ensure that such matters are handled with proper consideration of the infected person's well-being;
- ensure that infected individuals are treated fairly with regards to individual freedom and dignity; and
7) Urges that member nations provide infected persons with comfort and security, to help them recover from their unfortunate situation.
Citizens may vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.
