Universal Declaration of Love

Yep, after approving countless Proposals as Arkanarsk, I have submitted my own. It is kind of borderline and I fear Enodia might toast it later, but here it is for your consideration. Please approve it if you feel like doing so. And if not, relax, how many Proposals have you seen become Resolutions and get passed? Exactly. :wink:

Universal Declaration of Love

Alarmed by all the hate in the world,

Concerned by evidence that most traditional methods of conflict resolution are counter-productive,

Recognising that some conflicts have brought relations between the affected individuals, communities, nations and regions to particularly tragic lows,

Aware that the pain and differences brought about by disputes can take a long time to heal,

Reaffirming the UN's aim of maintaining international peace and security through the promotion of good international relations and mutual respect amongst the peoples of its member states,

Guided by a belief in the presence of a kernel of good in human nature,

1) Appeals to all nations and their citizens to take a moment to remember the love that makes some parts of the world so pleasant;

2) Further appeals to all nations and their citizens to express this love in a manner of their choosing forthwith;

3) Invites all nations to set aside a day, perhaps giving it the status of a national holiday, to express their appreciation and support for those who believe in peace, tolerance and respect, and those who work towards such things;

4) Encourages world leaders to use this opportunity to express their goodwill to neighbouring nations and extend a hand of friendship to any nations with which diplomatic relations have been interrupted;

5) Reminds world leaders of the wisdom of keeping their populace safe, happy and content, and urges leaders to place this under consideration when formulating policy, particularly that relating to law enforcement, political processes and society;

6) Endorses with appreciation the efforts of all those who will doubtless do their bit to spread this message of compassion;

7) Expresses the hope that all nations and their rulers realise that acts of kindness or even the restraint of acts of hostility can alleviate much of the suffering and animousity in the world.

awwwww...

how cutsey

However my dictatorship feels that the only love that it cares about is that between the almighty godlike dictator Killerkris and his lady. As for the rest of the population, they are still awaiting the compulsory breeding program, our companies are demanding slaves and quite simply love takes far too long to cultivate, whereas a massive enforced program could lead us to the joys of competative advantage against other countries.

however we would actively encourage other nations to follow this resolution, during your "love day" we might slip across your borders and steal your industrial strength, and we'd "love" you for letting us do it....


We like 2 however, we would express our love in massive rally's expressing our delight at the glorious leader of our magnificent country.

3 is a joke, we wouldn't set asside a day of work for WW3, never mind love - our directors wouldn't allow it!

4 - the only goodwill u can get from me is a friendly trade treaty :)

5 - Indeed, keeping the populace happy is vital, however love day would not accomplish the same as mind altering drugs, and they're cheaper! So we wouldn't want to do anything silly like make our population feel they have a say

6 - sure, well done you bleeding liberals ;)

7 - Kindness? We removed this from the dictionary the last time we re-wrote it....

Overall, not bad as a resolution, however what would it acomplish, a diminising of the worldwide productivity, an increase in civil rights, happier people? What kind of country would KillerLand be if we allowed this travesty to pass.... ;)

Well, I realise that this is too sugary for some people, but then the title was deliberately chosen to make the evil ones cringe, hehe. Anyway, if anyone likes the idea of asking governments to celebrate the idea of compassion, understanding and peace, please approve the Proposal or bring it to the attention of your friendly Regional UN Delegate.

There is no honor among thieves, and no love among nations.

Maybe the title should have been Make Love Not War. :)

The saccharine nature of the resolution is making everyone in New Clarkhall wince. However, despite the fact that we think the resolution's hopes of passing are akin to that of a snowflake in hell, we shall support it wholeheartedly. The UN needs a few sugary ones every now and then to make up for the rabid 'DIE DIE DIE ...everyone but ME must DIE and/or submit to my will" resolutions. :wink:

we are all for peace, and some of us are for love.
It make be "contrary to game mechanics:, since NS seems predicated on warmaking, but what the hey.
