Suggestion to a proposal: Right to Appeal

Since this is the technical portion of the game, I shouldn't have to worry about ejection from the UN, since I'm already ejected from the UN. This is a SUGGESTION for a proposal allowing the Right to Appeal UN proposals are law which have been ratified. And I don't believe nothing should be immutable, written in stone, with no possibility of change or improvement. This is my two cents worth.


Written by the Terran Assemblage


"Right To Appeal


Category: Political Stability
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Terran Assemblage

Description: It is with understanding that regions, laws, and governmental politics are mercurial at best. That laws may change according to the needs of nations or court systems do to unforseen events and occurances. That this change may be instigated by either forces and actions within or without of national bounderies.

At certain junctures of time, nations of one region may change leadership, laws, membership, and philosophy. With this change past executive decisions may be overturned, overlooked, or ammended to new ideals and laws which more closely reflect the newer government or entire regions.

A proposition to change, amend, or repeal a law must be arbitrary to all parties, or of two thirds commital votes within the UN member nations. Any law, including that of UN law that does not meet a 2/3rds majority vote may be appealed and revoted upon or ammended.

It can not be said that nothing be written in stone and that decisions made in haste, or without full disclosure of information to the public awareness, should be given the chance to be rectified. Knowing that we hold this truth to be universal, that errors can be made and correct, timely, solutions can be implemented to the contentment of all nations and regions.

We put forward this Right To Appeal any UN law or resolution not meeting a 2/3rds majority vote. At any moment in future time, second thoughts or change in political climate may occur within the bounderies of any or all UN member nations. That every nation be allowed the chance to recast their vote on decisions whose bases are not wholly understood because of innacurate information, or decisions passed by the most narrowist of margins. We also concede that any law passed by a majority 2/3rds vote is popularly accepted by the majority of member nations and shall be exempt from this Right."

As I believe I said when this was a proposal (and if I didn't, then mea culpa), a coding change of this sort is almost certainly not going to be added before NS2 arrives.

I was specifically told to take my proposal and shove it into Technical forums. I did so.

Like I said, nothing is ever written in stone. Who knows, maybe five years from now, maybe they will change the game mechanics and code. I don't know, you don't know, we don't know. YOU NEVER KNOW!

=^o.o^= Keep an open mind will you.

I wholeheartedly agree with this idea, like many others. Terran Assemblage, read 'A Declaration to the Peoples and Nations of the World', 'We Should Have Repeals, but I Understand The Problem', and 'Improved Rights of Nations'. I wrote these and it adresses this very same idea, argues for it, argues against the moderators, and attempts to provide some common sense to what we are exactly asking for. Join the quest!

Coding change to NS1, or only added in NS2?
