It is with regret that the General Assembly of the United Nations takes note of the current impasse of the US electoral process. Whereas the General Assembly reaffirms the inalienable rights of US citizens to express their will and choose their own destiny, United Nations member states also have to consider the potential threats to peace and stability that the current situation implies. In line with its mandate and established jurisprudence, the General Assembly of the United Nations therefore decides that: The permanent seat left vacant at the Security Council shall be filled ad interim by the next country in alphabetical order, Uzbekistan; A United Nations Transitional Authority for the United States of America (UNTAUSA) is created to take over the administration of the territory until 2004, when the next presidential and congressional elections shall be organized; To avoid repetition of past problems, the next elections will be organized by UNTAUSA. Due to their particular ability to explain complex procedures in numerous languages, the European Parliament and the Indian Lok Sabha will provide technical guidance. To ensure a fair, equitable, transparent, representative and non-biased process, they will be assisted by a non-partisan, non-denominational, geographically weighted, impartial group of outstanding international civil society organizations elected by their peers. They include: The Saddam Hussein Institute for Democracy (Baghdad) Le Fonds Laurent Kabila pour la Preservation des Droits de l'Homme en Afrique (Kinshasa) Che Guevara Hasta la Victoria Final o la Muerte Fundacion para la Sobrevivienda de los Desperados (Habana) The Lee Kuan Yew Effective Governance Award Nomination Board (Singapore) The US armed forces are placed under UNTAUSA command. To limit the risk of nuclear proliferation, the control of US forces will be jointly exercised by the other four permanent Security Council members: Russia, China, France and Britain. Actually, as a former colonial power, Britain is disqualified. But India and Pakistan will be invited to join as observers. Or more if they wish; A no-fly zone will be enforced on the US territory south of the 35th parallel to control threats such as narcotraffic and terrorism. The Colombian air force has already offered to help police the zone; The US Treasury Department has been given seven days to pay its dues to the UN and all affiliated organisations. The Fed will be administered by the Bank of Japan. Both the US dollar and the yen are official currencies. To keep a balance with other UN missions, the official language of the new Transitional Authority will be French As a gesture of encouragement and a confidence-building measure,the headquarters of the United Nations will be maintained in New York. As an emergency measure, drug donations and food aid, including camembert au lait cru and British beef, are welcome to help assist vulnerable populations in and around the city. Logistical support will be provided by UNHCR. New York residents will be issued special passes to facilitate commuting. These passes will also facilitate travel to and from other UN-administered and designated safe areas such as Srebrenica, Kosovo and East Timor. If the mess persists in 2004, Florida and Texas will return to Mexican administration for a minimum period of 99 years.
