REVISE

Laws concerning "the calibration of tax brackets" is outside the jurisdiction of the United Nations. Also, you don't really talk about what the role of the UN is in this topic; rather, you talk about recommending countries to take action. Perhaps make the operative clauses more related to the UN (create a committee to work with nations to better account for income distribution)

Looks good to me - if Akshay has something to add, however, or wishes to revise my decision, he is more than welcome to do that. However, it's entirely probable he won't even check the forum again until round 2 of resolutions, so just to be safe, I'll issue my decision here, as he has not indicated whether your revision passes or not.
