Two hours ago the following was forwarded to the UN Secratary-General by the Nation of the Firstborne's UN delegate, Lauren Pattersen.
"In protest of the weakness inherent in the new Genocide Resolution, the Nation of the Firstborne has hereby and hencewith withdrawn from the UN, and barred UN attaches from its country. All UN representatives in the country have been ejected, and the ARF has increased its military spending in anticipation of potential UN sanctions."
The Nation of the Firstborne, a relatively small country located in the Vallian Plains had oppossed yesterdays vote, but its concerns were summarily dismissed. The ARF's President, General Sean Decker held a press conference shortly thereafter.
"Genocide is not an action which can be debated over, or prosecuted, it is one that requires swift and decisive action, the UN Resolution specifically bars action against those who would massacre their own people and outsiders. We will not allow our hands to be tied in this fashion."
Immediately after the press conference, President Decker met with his cabinet and immediately instituted the war powers act, calling up reserve soldiers and emergency spending.
This really belongs in the International Incidents forum.

Well, it's not recommended; this forum is for debate on UN legislation; which by the own FAQ is exclusionary of specific nations or actions... International Incidents is the proper forum... Or under the "NationStates" forum... Especially if you'ld like it forumlated into a RP...
