Ballast Water
This ballast water resolution is intolerable! I resign.
ah well, that's no great loss to the UN. I doubt any present members will mourn the loss of such a small state.
Close the door on your way out would you old boy?

The Sophistan delegation calls dibs on his chair in the main hall. We'd like the extra leg room to stretch accordingly after this victory.
Sincerely yours,

Minister of Foreign Affairs
Why is it intolerable? Surely ballast water is something that truly is within international jurisdiction? I feel confused.

Actually, I'd like to see more issues along the lines of the ballast water one, as opposed to those which trample the rights of government to rule as they see fit.

I agree. Even though Grand Hobgoblonia opposed this resolution as a non-UN member, it is one of those resolutions that if Grand Hobgoblonia were a UN member, it would still be able to live with it. Opposition was due to economic faults and perceived futility of resolution.
Grand Hobgoblonia remains a non-UN member because of many other much more invasive resolutions previously passed by the UN.
Assertively,
Prime Minister Baragh IV,
Loyal Servant to the One True Monarch
of the Holy Empire of Grand Hobgoblonia
