TAP
20 Strengthen the UN
20.1.1 Critical national and international laws and treaties are not being adequately observed or enforced in particular–The International Covenant of Human Rights, the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 and Misprision of Felony.
20.1.2 Because these and other laws and treaties are not adequately observed and enforced, horrific injustices exist–in Gaza, the West Bank, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and North Korea. In addition, the threat nuclear war, abject poverty, and preventable diseases exist.
20.1.3 The UN and its related organizations are grossly underfunded and their authority severely limited by the superpowers in particular–U.S. politicians and their use of the veto in the Security Council.
20.1.4 The UN SDGs are scheduled to take too much time.
20.1.5 No country or its people has the right or legal power to murder, injure, take the property of, punish, sanction, commit any form of violence, etc. against any other country or its people.

----------------------
To ensure the UN and its affiliated organizations are fully funded and more effective, accountable and transparent. Refine the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their targets, make them mandatory and rapidly implement them.
20.3.1 Targets 16.6.1 Reform, Strengthen, Fully Fund and Support the United Nations and its Related Organizations
20.3.1.1 Ensure that the United Nations (and all its related organizations and programs)–in particular its Peacekeepers, the International Court of Justice (World Court), the International Criminal Court (ICC), INTERPOL (International Police), and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA):are fully funded and strengthened.
20.3.1.2 Provide the authority and means to enforce and ultimately make international laws, rapidly settle all conflicts and disputes by pacific (peaceful) and pacific-legal means, and markedly accelerate the completion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
20.3.1.3 Provide the United Nations and its related organizations and programs the support of the UN Foundation, UN Associations and other NGOs.
20.3.1.4 The U.S. help provide the UN and its related organizations the authority, tools, means and funds to settle conflicts-and-disputes by pacific (peaceful) means and provide adequate authority and police powers to the UN, ICC, ICOJ and INTERPOL to enforce their decisions
20.3.1.5 Pacific means–of settling disputes or conflicts–include diplomacy, meetings, conferences, direct negotiations and/or negotiations through a third or multiple parties
20.3.1.6 Pacific legal means of settling disputes-and-conflicts–include negotiations, humane prosecutions, tort claims and disgorgement actions
20.4.1 All countries strengthen and fully fund the United Nations, its affiliated organizations and the UN SDGs.
20.4.1.1 United States pay the $1 billion owed to the UN.
20.4.2 Refine and implement the UN SDGs and their targets beginning with More Important UN SDGs, TAPs and TAs
20.4.3 United Nations establish a UN Global Peacekeeping, Security and Law Enforcement Force consisting of strengthened UN Peacekeepers, ICC, Interpol and the World Court with the authority to open satellite offices, help settle all conflicts and disputes by pacific means and rapidly make and enforce international laws including in particular in countries that are not enforcing their laws. This force shall:
20.4.3.1 Include personnel from all over the world, in particular ex-military who are not prone to violence.
20.4.3.2 Prosecute lawbreakers humanely and privately as outlined in TAP30 in absentia if necessary in countries that will not prosecute them.
20.4.3.3 Utilize selective overseas bases and facilities provided by the United States. the UN, ICC and Interpol.
20.4.3.4 As appropriate, remove or replace foreign troops and mercenaries in countries such as the White Helmets in Syria and ensure the US troops removed from all over the world.
20.4.3.5 Help settle disputes peacefully and resolve problems in Yemen, the West Bank and Gaza.
20.4.3.5.1 Replace foreign troops in countries such as Syria
20.4.3.5.2 Help settle disputes peacefully resolve problems in Yemen, the West Bank and Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea etc.

20.4.3.6.1 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which includes the right to social security, the right to work, the right to equal-pay-for-equal-work, the right to rest-and-leisure, the right to a standard-of-living adequate for health and well-being, the right to education, and the right to participate in the cultural life of the community.
20.4.3.6.2 International Bill of Human Rights which consists of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (with its two Optional Protocols), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
20.4.4 Make the implementation of the UN SDGs mandatory in particular to: ensure that everyone in the World:
20.4.4.1 Has a job providing the basic necessities-of-life including providing government funded adequate shelter, food, water, health care, sanitary-sewage systems, clothing or energy etc.
20.4.4.2 Is a recipient of the government funded basic necessities of life.
20.4.5 Reform the UN Security Council
20.4.5.1 Eliminate the veto power of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council:
20.4.5.2 Increase the number of electoral regions for the UN Security Council from four to nine in that each would have one permanent-member and each region two-revolving members to add up to a 27-seat Council, thus better reflecting national, cultural and population realities
20.4.5.3 Require the Council to take up all issues–of threats to peace and security–and decide how to act on them and disclose its reasons for deciding (or not deciding) to take up the issue
20.4.5.4 Require the Security Council to make its substantive deliberations in public and transparent
20.4.5.5 Require the Security Council to take reasonable measures to consult with each nation that would be impacted by its decisions
20.4.5.6 Work with the UN and other countries to reform and democratize the Security Council to end all hostilities by pacific and legal means. Lead efforts to amend the United Nations Charter to require the Security Council to take up any and all cases of violent-conflict immediately upon their commencement, and to immediately provide a course-of-action to halt hostilities by pacific means of a cease-fire in place, to require mediation at the UN (with the aid of regional-partners if desired), and if necessary refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court for cease-and-desist injunctions, arrest warrants, etc.
Reform the following as necessary:
20.4.6 General Assembly–Reform, Strengthen and Organize by Function
20.4.6.1 Simplify its programs by considering the following:
20.4.6.2 “Adopt a super majority for decision making and abandon reliance on consensus since it results in watered down resolutions”
20.4.6.3 Pay more attention to implementation and compliance with its decisions
20.4.6.4 Organize UN Committees by functions that parallel the UN SDGs and their targets including full employment, global security, water, shelter, nutritious food, etc. (TAP #12)
20.4.6.5 Someone (unknown to the compilers) suggested to: Add a Parliamentary Assembly of members elected by the citizens of each country and in which the number of seats and/or the weight of its votes allocated to each country would more accurately reflect population and perhaps economic power. Then any decisions of the GA would have to pass both houses. Such "global MPs" would also be able to represent the common welfare of humanity in general rather than being required to follow the dictates of their governments back home as the current State ambassadors are.
20.4.7 International Court of Justice (World Court)–Strengthen, expand the jurisdiction of and speed up the processes of the International Court of Justice (World Court) including filing injunction to cease-and-desist hostilities
20.4.7.1 U.S. Fully accept the World Court's jurisdiction and recuse itself when the UN Security Council is voting. The U.S. enforce rulings that affect the U.S. “After the court ruled that the U.S.'s covert war against Nicaragua was in violation of international law (Nicaragua v. United States), the United States wrongfully withdrew from compulsory jurisdiction in 1986. The United States accepts the court's jurisdiction only on a case-by-case basis.[3] Chapter XIV of the United Nations Charter authorizes the UN Security Council to enforce Court rulings. However, such enforcement is subject to the veto power of the five permanent members of the Council, which the United States used in the Nicaragua case.” From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Court File enforceable injunctions to stop illegal conflicts, occupations, offensive arms sales, torture, violations of rights, etc. by pacific means
20.4.8 International Criminal Court (ICC)–strengthen and expand the jurisdiction of and speed up the processes of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Work with the Coalition for the International Criminal Court, www.coalitionfortheicc.org, and others to:
20.4.8.1 Provide authority to the ICC to humanely and privately (not secretly) investigate and prosecute senior public and private-sector officials when national courts are unable or unwilling to do so” as described in TAP30 Humane Prosecutions and TAP29 Humane Criminal Justice Section V. Link to Wikipedia entry.
20.4.8.2 U.S. sign and “deposit the instruments to accede to the Rome Statute” that has already been ratified, so that the U.S. joins and participates fully in the International Criminal Court (ICC) and encourage all other countries to do likewise. See: Link to ICC Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court
20.4.8.3 U.S. submit a declaration to the International Criminal Court (ICC) under Article 12.3 of the Rome Statute giving it jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute grave crimes committed on its territory or by its nationals since 1 July 2002, the date of treaty’s initial entry into force, if U.S. authorities are genuinely unable or unwilling to do so.
20.4.8.4 Request ICC adopt procedures to humanely and privately (not secretly) investigate and prosecute senior public and private sector officials by refining and using the Plan to Humanely and Privately (not secretly) Prosecute Lawbreakers With Timely Restitution For Victims, Rehabilitation for Lawbreakers and Restorative Justice for Both described in TAP 30 Humane Private Prosecutions and TAP 29 Humane Criminal Justice. Under this plan the International Criminal Court (ICC) could humanely and privately investigate and as appropriate, summon (or quietly arrest if necessary), indict and prosecute in absentia if necessary.
20.4.9 INTERPOL (International Police)–Strengthen, Expand the Jurisdiction of and Speed up the Processes of the International Police (INTERPOL)
20.4.9.1 Allow Humane, Former Special Forces Members to Join INTERPOL to Make Difficult Arrests

20.4.12 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)–Strengthen, Expand the Jurisdiction of and Speed up the Processes of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). United Nations-IAEA and Member Countries develop and implement a program/plan for all countries to immediately cease all fissile material enrichment, implement energy conservation measures and alternative sustainable energy sources, phase out nuclear power programs and ensure all fissile materials and radioactive waste are kept secure under each Country/United Nations–IAEA joint supervision
20.4.13 Do not make the UN a World Government.
20.4.14 U.S. Government Officials Act in the best interest of the people of the U.S. and World
20.4.15 U.S. ratify and comply with all Treaties–Unsigned or Unratified–by the United States, or explain why not; in particular the following ASAP:
