NationStates Jolt Archive

This resolution is unclear and unfit for the present. serious evidence is a term that some may use to exclude almost all monitoring while others would use it to intrude on many innocent citizens by claiming the evidence is 'serious'. This resolution is unclear and can be dangerous to nations, especially those with problems concerning crime and terrorism. I am calling for more internal control over such matters until the UN sees that a nation becomes a threat to its citizens.

I am asking for the support of all UN Regional Delegates and the support of UN Members to sway their Delegate to this cause.

For those who don't know, this isn't a M.O.S.S. proposal. The first paragraph of his/her post is the actual proposal.

From the actual resolution. I think this puts safeguards in place to stop what you are suggesting.

It does not always. What about nations with a dictatorship without any set Judiciary. Who do you think will set up the judging panel? If its not the Ruling Party then its the UN and the UN cant be brought in at every little issue of every nation.

And how will repealing the resolution make this any better?

First thing is to get rid of this one which is vague and can be used as a sheild to do harm. If the international community feels the need (which they probibly should) they can pass a more descriptive and effective policy that would protect the rights of citizens.

The thing is that, in light of the rampant paranoia about terrorists that seems to be sweeping the NationStates world, I am not sure anything would pass in its place.

Do you have a suggested replacement?
