The People's Republic of Zarpiya proposes the following:

THAT every United Nations Resolution passed by a majority be given 60 days, during which it cannot be repealed, pursuant to the following conditions:

1. No Repeals may be brought against United Nations Resolutions passed within the past 60 days.

2. ( a ) Nations in breech of this Resolution will face an international Tribunal, which will determine whether or not their Repeal is valid in spite of the terms of this Resolution, pursuant to Article 3.

( b ) In the event that the Tribunal finds the offending Nation is without cause for the attempted repeal, it will be subject to the following penalties:

( i ) the offending Nation will be stripped of its right to submit Proposals for a period of 60 days following the ruling of the Tribunal.

( ii ) the offending Nation will be stripped of its right to vote on United Nations Resolutions for a period of 60 days following the ruling of the Tribunal.

( iii ) if the offending Nation is a Regional Delegate to the United Nations, it will be stripped of its right to endorse other Proposals to the United Nations for a period of 60 days following the ruling of the Tribunal.

( c ) All United Nations Delegates endorsing any Repeal in breech of the conditions of this Resolution will face similar penalties, as determined by the Tribunal mentioned in Article 2, Section ( a ).

3. ( a ) Repeals of United Nations Resolutions passed 60 days ago or less will be considered as valid if the Repeal is based on:

( i ) Grammatical or other errors in the wording of the Resolution in question which make it invalid or which create loopholes in it.

( ii ) The Resolution in question is contradictory to previous Resolutions passed by the United Nations.

( b ) Repeals of United Nations Resolutions passed 60 days ago or less must cite Article 3, Section ( a ) with respect to why the Repeal has been brought forth.

( c ) If the Repeal of a Resolution passed 60 days ago or less does not cite Article 3, Section ( a ), it will automatically be considered invalid and the proposing nation will be subject to a ruling of the Tribunal mentioned in Article 2, Section ( a ).

4. Nations that disobey the ruling of the Tribunal mentioned in Article 2, Section ( a ) will be expelled and barred from the United Nations for a period of 30 days, after which the Nation may apply for membership once more.

Definitions:

"Resolution" - any Proposal that has been accepted by the United Nations and made into International Law by virtue of a majority vote in the United Nations.

"majority" - the number of votes FOR the Resolution exceeds the number of votes AGAINST the same by 1000 or more.



~~~~~~~~~~~~Explination~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have noticed in many different places a gross lack of confidence in the United Nations, based on the fact that Resolutions passed are quite often repealed very shortly after, making the whole process seem like a joke.

We feel that the above Proposal is the answer to this problem.

The actual period of time that the Resolution would be immune for would be determined by a regional vote before this Proposal would be submitted to the United Nations. The Zarpiyan people feel that 60 days would be a decent length of time for this immunity.

Furthermore, we propose that should this Proposal be favourable to the nations of Canada, that our Minister of Foreign Affairs should drum up support for it throughout other regions PRIOR to the Proposal being submitted. This would allow for more time to increase support for it before the voting deadline.

This proposal would force United Nations members to consider their votes more carefully before deciding whether to support or oppose a Resolution. Subsequently, confidence in the decisions of the United Nations would increase proportionately, making the body more effective and more beneficial to its members.

If you have any ideas for additional clauses to be added to the Proposal as it stands, or changes that should be made to the proposal, please feel free to reply. This is to be a resolution proposed by the region of Canada, not by any single nation.

In solidarity,
The People's Republic of Zarpiya.

I think The People's Republic of Zarpiya should read this thread :).

I'm pretty sure a proposal like this would be illegal.

Time for a game of Count the Violations.
The People's Republic of Zarpiya proposes the following:

THAT every United Nations Resolution passed by a majority be given 60 days, during which it cannot be repealed, pursuant to the following conditions:Illegal, game mechanics (1)

1. No Repeals may be brought against United Nations Resolutions passed within the past 60 days.Illegal, game mechanics (2)

2. ( a ) Nations in breech of this Resolution will face an international Tribunal, which will determine whether or not their Repeal is valid in spite of the terms of this Resolution, pursuant to Article 3.Assuming that this tribunal would be the same as a committee in how it's staffed then this would be quasi-legal, if it's staffed by people then it's illegal.

( b ) In the event that the Tribunal finds the offending Nation is without cause for the attempted repeal, it will be subject to the following penalties:

( i ) the offending Nation will be stripped of its right to submit Proposals for a period of 60 days following the ruling of the Tribunal.Illegal, game mechanics (4)

( ii ) the offending Nation will be stripped of its right to vote on United Nations Resolutions for a period of 60 days following the ruling of the Tribunal.Illegal, game mechanics (5)

( iii ) if the offending Nation is a Regional Delegate to the United Nations, it will be stripped of its right to endorse other Proposals to the United Nations for a period of 60 days following the ruling of the Tribunal.Illegal, game mechanics (6)

( c ) All United Nations Delegates endorsing any Repeal in breech of the conditions of this Resolution will face similar penalties, as determined by the Tribunal mentioned in Article 2, Section ( a ).Illegal, game mechanics (7) (and furthermore this would constitute a major problem for nations like WZ Forums :D)

3. ( a ) Repeals of United Nations Resolutions passed 60 days ago or less will be considered as valid if the Repeal is based on:

( i ) Grammatical or other errors in the wording of the Resolution in question which make it invalid or which create loopholes in it.Irrelevent due to mass illegality of this idea.

( ii ) The Resolution in question is contradictory to previous Resolutions passed by the United Nations.In which case the proposal usually gets caught by the mods and deleted before it comes up for vote.

( b ) Repeals of United Nations Resolutions passed 60 days ago or less must cite Article 3, Section ( a ) with respect to why the Repeal has been brought forth.Illegal, game mechanics I think.

( c ) If the Repeal of a Resolution passed 60 days ago or less does not cite Article 3, Section ( a ), it will automatically be considered invalid and the proposing nation will be subject to a ruling of the Tribunal mentioned in Article 2, Section ( a ).Illegal, game mechanics (8)

4. Nations that disobey the ruling of the Tribunal mentioned in Article 2, Section ( a ) will be expelled and barred from the United Nations for a period of 30 days, after which the Nation may apply for membership once more.Illegal, game mechanics (9)

Definitions:

"Resolution" - any Proposal that has been accepted by the United Nations and made into International Law by virtue of a majority vote in the United Nations.We know what a resolution is.

"majority" - the number of votes FOR the Resolution exceeds the number of votes AGAINST the same by 1000 or more.
No, a majority is when the number of votes on one side outnumber the number of votes on the other even if the difference is only one vote.

Wow, I counted at least nine game mechanics violations in there, that's got to be a record.

Gross lack of confidence in the UN? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thats a good one. Now where would you get an idea like that? Anyway thats an understatement. Personally I'm supprised that the UN can find its own posterior without a map, GPS fix, and some helping hands on a good day even. Figurlatively speaking of course.:p
