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:

a. 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;

b. an "infected person" as any person with a serious disease in a nation undergoing an epidemic of that disease;

c. a "quarantine" as any area where infected persons are kept in isolation in order to halt the spread of the disease;

d. a "treatment" as any action done to an infected person with the purpose of:

i. curing the infected person;

ii. rendering the infected person non-contagious;

iii. ensuring the infected person does not undergo any unnecessary harm; and/or

iv. 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:

a. create at least one quarantine per epidemic in the nation;

b. move all infected persons into the appropriate quarantine that is nearest to their current location;

c. 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;

d. move anyone that ceases to be an infected person out of the quarantine;

e. 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:

a. review matters of necessity and promulgation within quarantines;

b. ensure that such matters are handled with proper consideration of the infected person's well-being;

c. 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.
