Voting deadline: August 3358
Description[?]:
| PAC believes that, whenever our glorious nation can, we as humans and peace-loving Dranians should provide our terran neighbours with aid. This aid should not necessarily be economic, it could come in other forms. Such as humanitarian aid through Dranian sponsored programs. As such, PAC proposes the following: The Establishment of a new governmental entity in charge of the evaluation process of this aid to poorer neighbour nations. This entity will be subject to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and shall decide what aid should be given to what country and the circumstances which said nation must meet in order to receive such aid. Said entity shall create the criteria that each candidate nation must meet in order to receive any aid. Said criteria must be valuated and approved by the assembly. All aid given to any nation must be strictly monitored by the official Dranian government in conjunction with the receiving nation's official government. The aforementioned entity shall be charged with the duty of supervision of said aid and must establish mechanisms to effectively allow the allocation of said aid the way it was planned on a case by case basis. Dranland shall not give any development aid if the receiving nation does not accept the conditions of Dranish supervision. Aid shall be separated into categories which shall be determined by the respective entity here mentioned. |

| Message | More of big government policies, bureaucracy and state control will not prove effective. We continue to stick to our position in favor of free trade instead of subsidies. Arnold Deckstein (GNP) Minister of Foreign Affairs |

| Message | I must agree with the Rt. Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs; however we find ourselves disagreeing with the current law in place as well. Our citizens should never be obligated to pay taxes toward the funding of the rich of other nations, as in reality that is what foreign aid is. We believe it is outright evil to force our hardworking people into generosity; if someone is well off and generous they will donate themselves to humanitarian organizations which can ensure that the money is used to buy necessary articles and sent to the poor of various nation. Regardless, we would be much more interested in the proposals of PAC regarding the poor in this nation - we haven't completely solved this issue yet we feel obligated to solve it in other countries? -PR Chairman |
