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; Hereby 1) 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.

First it makes the nation quarantine its citizens and then tells the nation how it must treat those quarantined. Not to mention its definintion of quarantine is overly broad. It literally could mean a bad flu season.
