We - the Holy Empire of Naktan - committed to the ideals of the United Nations body, submit this proposal to a willing UN member state to propose this resolution on the floor for the condemnation of the Rogue State of Gilabad. Their actions have violated the basic rights of all humans, and furthermore uses its law - in contrary to the subjects and agreements it places in the UN body - to justify its actions.

For this purpose, we submit to you the following resolution in the next post.

FOR A HISTORY OF THE ISSUE: (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=468508)

Gays and GLAD Members Shot Dead!

Earlier today, the Gilabad Secret Police (GSP) raided a suspected "Gay" hideout in the southern sector of Gilabad DF (capitol). Upon braking in, they found 29 men and 18 women who were not only Gay but were taking part in Gay marriages. This of course is strictly illegal due to article 3 of the "Anti-Gay" bill. The GSP immediately lined them up on the wall along the street and made a final count of how many there were. Then they were given a chance to explain themselves. Most of their arguments were that the Gilbadian government was wrong in prohibiting Gay marrriagess. Then the GSP loaded their weapons which included UMP 45s, USAS-12 full auto shotguns, and MP5A4s. They took aim fired. First they aimed at their feet and worked their way up so they would die slowly. After their magazines were completely unloaded, they urinated on the bodies and threw what was left of them into the local sewer system, via a manhole.


The United Nations General Assembly:

Cognizant that the nature of the recent actions of the Rogue State of Gilabad are within its right to national sovereignty,

Stating that most states generally accept as the premises for basic human rights to be life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness,

Concerned that these actions - under the protection of national sovereignty of the Rogue State of Gilabad - constitute a violation of these said basic human rights,

Aware of the role of the United Nations as a moderator and protector of these said basic human rights,

Recalling UN Resolutions #19 (on religious tolerance), #21 (on the nature of fair trials), #26 (on the nature of human rights), #27 (on due process), #41 (on barbaric punishments), #47 (on the definition of a fair trial), #49 Section III(on the rights and duties of UN members), #53 (on the freedom of choice), #69 (on the rights of the sexes), #73 (on the nature of habeas corpus), #80 (on the rights of minorities), #88 (on fairness and equality), and #115 (on the freedom of conscience),

Noting that the Rogue State is a member of the United Nations body,

1. Declares the actions committed on 13Feb2006 by the Rogue State of Gilabad were contrary to the said UN Resolutions;

2. Condemns the said actions of the Rogue State of Gilabad against the basic human rights of its citizens;

3. Calls for an investigative review of the said actions to determine the length, breadth, and intensity of these actions;

4. Authorizes member states to employ diplomatic pressure - up to and including but not limited to - the following forms to encourage the Rogue State of Gilabad to desist in its violations of human rights:
a) official condemnations by the member state;
b) reports to the nation urging to desist the said actions; and
c) cessation of special needs and resources through economic sanctions, among others;

5. Discourages member states to use violence or excessively forceful diplomacy while engaging the Rogue State of Gilabad, reminding the member nations of the use of peaceful diplomacy.

Afraid this is illegal. You can't isolate specific states in resolutions: that's MetaGaming. You would have to turn this into a more general proposal on rogue states...except that's largely been done.

Hmm...thinking about it, this might be a case where The Pretenama Panel could be convened. Is that what you're asking for?

Good lord, the UN condemns the US for enacting a unilateral trade embargo against Cuba and this is illegal? How does the UN work here? I haven't been on in over a year, but I don't think it's been that way...

well, regardless of the case and point, the resolution (or not) is to convince the UN body as a whole to do something about these numerous violations by Gilabad...the ultimate point is that international laws clearly show that Gilabad is not upholding its end of the bargain, and they have to be redirected to follow the obligations that they created...

OOC: That's the RL UN. In the NSUN, resolutions can't target specific nations. Gildan's actions do contravene several resolutions, though, so the 'best' (slow bureaucratic pain, but still) option would be to hold a session of The Pretenama Panel, which would judge whether humanitarian intervention was needed. If you simply want to exert diplomatic pressure, embargos, that sort of thing, then the UN probably won't be that effective: you'd be better off calling for support in II.

in which case, it would be best to perform the necessary tasks to resolve this issue in the best mannere possible...namely as you stated through the "slow bureaucratic pain" of the Pretenama Panel. The point is that something seriously should be done about it, and nothing doesn't appear to be a viable option...thanks for the update though...this would be a llllot nicer if there was a UN security council...but nope...its all a big gentlemen's party spiel...come and go as you please and follow the orders...leave when you feel that youre not welcome anymore...that sort of stuff :)

SOO FRUSTRATING

OOC: Yes, I know. The problem is of the 30,000 UN members, not 1% of that take the game to the forum level, I'd say, so things like Security Councils would be tricky to implement.

[ooc] affirmative...that said...
