WHEREAS, The United Nations should be an open and fair agreement between the member nations,
and WHEREAS, member nations have avoided responsibility to the world by convenient resignation from the United Nations, only to rejoin
THEREFORE, be it resolved that all resolutions of the United Nations in force are in force for all nations,
AND THAT, all resolutions of the United Nations in force when a nation joins are agreed to by any nation joining.

We hope that this resolution will help the UN to speak with one voice, and that it will find support.

Thank you.

This proposal changes game mechanics so it will be deleted :P

We believe the proposal simply reiterates, explicitly, that resolutions are binding on member nations.
The UN is the world's governing body. It proposes and votes on resolutions, which are then binding on all member nations.
-from the UN faq.

It doesn't change game mechanics, i think but then it doesn't really do anything as it just states the rules of the U.N, so what does this proposal aim to do? :?

It DOES change game mechanics.

When you join the UN, your nation is not altered to reflect the game changes of previous passed resolutions. Once you are a member, you will receive a telegram from the Compliance Ministry each time a proposal is passed. These telegrams are to inform you that certain changes have been made to your national stats. Even if you leave the UN the next day, those accumlated alterations remain with your nation.

THEREFORE, be it resolved that all resolutions of the United Nations in force are in force for all nations,
The way that is phrased, it sounds like you are attempting to impose UN rules on non-UN nations. Sorry, you can't do that. You must be a member to be affected by the UN proposals
AND THAT, all resolutions of the United Nations in force when a nation joins are agreed to by any nation joining.
This would require massive changes in the underlying technical basis of the game. It's a TECHNICAL issue, even though it has obvious political implications.


You can't do it. Sorry.

Seeing as the proposal affects the United Nations, the phrase "all nations", must be taken as referring, for the purposes of the resolution, to those nations who are members of the United Nations.

Again, we differ from this point of view. The only guidance we have, as far as Gleeb can tell is this:Quote:

It is the view of our government that that phrase means that already existing UN resolutions in force are in force for all nations that join the United Nations from the time that they join.

The purpose of this resolution is to state this already existing fact, clearly and distinctly.
