Rotovia

The Resolution is an outragous expense that will end up being footed by the wealthier nations who are often not at high risk from a tsunami threat. It is typically Asian and Pasific nations of a lower socio-economic standing that find themselves at risk of tsunami threat, and it is nations of which tsunamis are of little concern who will be forced to shoulder this massive burden.
The United Nations has already seen fit to clutter itself with wasteful and over-zealous projects that have left many nations billions out of pocket and it is a dangerous trend that seems to be taking root.
We cannot allow nations to claim sovereignty and yet divorce themselves of their duty to protect their borders and palm the responability off to other nations and this institution.
Rotovia for one will NOT be party to the third world's attempted hijacking of our resources and exploitation of our kindness. Not only is this Resolution unacceptable in where the burden of cost will fall, it is over-ambitious and in need of re-evaluation.
It is for the aforementioned reasons that Rotovia has cast the Delegate vote for Reformed Oceania AGAINST this Resolution and encourages others to follow suit.
