Resolves:
- Recommends establishing committees of volunteers to address specific issues present in developing manufacturing nations.
- Desires a main committee, which has the responsibility of overseeing sub-committees. The duty of the main committee is to ensure sub-committees, which have equal power, are fulfilling their objectives. An annual census should be taken by this committee in order to ensure the progress of each committee.

- Request a safety committee, which would oversee the protection of manual laborers, to take preventative measures so fatal accidents occur less often, and to improve the conditions of the working environment.
- Offers that an education committee establishes educational programs to train laborers both in skilled and unskilled jobs. It is suggested a number of laborers, with an unspecified ration of the population within each country, should be sent to more developed nations to train for specific jobs and trained individuals should come to developing countries to train workers. In retrospect, once these laborers return to their home country, or once a trained individual has taught others within a developing country, they can teach others.
- Calls upon a finance committee to oversee the raising of funds and the distribution of funds, based on population and poverty level, to developing countries.
- Supports a technology committee to enhance human resources and tools and increase the production rate of manual labor. The technology should include machines and factories; however, the machine should not replace manual jobs.

- Calls on the UNEP to monitor and improve the environment’s protection during the execution of this resolution.
