The CWAA wishes to join the UN

The Government of United Citizen's Federation would like to join the UN and the UN Security Forces. We are asking to join the UN Security Council as we believe that we would be a great help to you the World. We are trying to help devert a war between the nations that are going out to destory each other in the Americas.

The UCR wishes to Join the UN.

The People's Republic of Asian China wants to be a member of the United Nations.

Hu Jintao
President of the People's Republic of Asian China

The Delegation from the Emirate is surprised to be noted as "President" of the UN. Nonetheless, we are present and ready for any discussion that arrives to this venerable establishment.

OOC: It's only for the month. :)

OOC: It's only for the month. :)

IC:

The Great Sixth Reich urges ALM to set the agenda to "Expanding the United Nations."

OCC: You should be asking me to Expand the United Nations, as I'm one step ahead of you.

IC: The Republic of United Nations respectfully declines to attend any meeting or follow any rulings the UN sets. The UN has showed itself to be an ineffective organization incapable of doing nothing but, incessant chatter. Action is required today in the 21st century. As, such the members that formally made up the Iberian Netherlands banded together to form a new United Nations, this one having a backbone and capable of getting done what needed to be done. The Republic of United Nations have brought Peace to nations all over the world, ended Civil Wars, rebuilt nations and paid for these actions in it's own blood and with it's own money. The nations of the world don't desire peace, but merely want war and suffering. If, Peace must be bought for in blood and suffering, then so be it, the Republic of United Nations is willing to pay the price to secure Peace.

Every week, the Republic holds a Security Council in the city of The Hague. If, the nations of the world want to see how a real UN works-they can attend if they so wish.

However, if the UN is again willing to play the role it was intended to in preventing war, then the Republic will fully support that goal to it's very end.

OCC: IC, my nation(s) are very annoyed and upset with the UN. Hence, they created a new one. I was trying to capture that anger and frustration.

Alim Al Khaliffa shall represent the Emirate in the UN.


The delegation from TG6R makes a laudable note, as we do wish to expand the UN, in terms of its involvement, its membership, and its benefits.

We currently have a number of countries wishing to join the UN, and seeing the cooperative work that those countries have contributed, we - as the Emirate - see no reason why not to allow them membership. They have our firm support, and we hope that the other members present agree.

As to the remarks made by the representation of the RUN, we do believe that the UN has not been as active as it could have been, mostly to the dismay of those involved in the short-lived Red Sea Conflict. However, we perhaps stand best at a cross-roads to secure the legitimacy of the United Nations and stand better to gain from using its resources to providing a global forum; establishing international precedents, protections, and mandates; and founding principles that will guide international conduct in a manner that is constructive and useful. With these expanded roles, the UN can better serve the constituent states that form it.

The Emirate does not believe the policies of the former were cooperative or constructive. However, the Emirate will use whatever legitimacy it can procure to make the UN function as a reliable international organization.

Security Council Working Paper 3 (2007)

Prime Minister Mary McAleese

OOC: Earth V Only.

The Republican Republic of Great Romeo votes for this draft resolution.

I think that it's safe to say that the Draft Resolution passes and is now in effect. We welcome the four new members to the United Nations.


Are there any other points or motions on the floor?

The Delegate from the Government of United Citizen's Federation is present. We would like to draft about the conflict in the Americas and pass a resoultion againt the use of any weapons of mass destruction and attacking any land in the Eurpean Continent at all for the sake of safety for the nations around the warring country or countries.

The CWAA is present at this time

Topic on the floor:

The Use of Nuclear Explosive Devices and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction in the American conflict

Any seconds?

[We second].

The motion passes, so we are now talking about the use of WMD in the American conflict.

Any speakers wishing to speak?

The CWAA would like to know if chemical and biological weapons are considered WMD's. The CWAA would allow use of chemical weapons to a small degree, but not enough to wipe out entire civilian populations.

WMDs are the follow:

Weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a term used to describe a munition with the capacity to indiscriminately kill large numbers of living beings. The phrase broadly encompasses several areas of weapon synthesis, including nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) and, increasingly, radiological weapons.

The Government of United Citizen's Federation would like to talk to the Security Council about this matter.

Great Romeo wishes to be added to the speaker's list.

The Nations of Guinnea, Lebanon, and Senegal wish to added to the UNited Nations roles.
These nations seek to be added under the a single title "Bedou Islamic Confederation".

If this is acceptable the Confederation will be represented by Michael O'gimbi of Senegal Africa.

The ALM delegation will have some words after the those set to speak on the Speaker's List.


The Speaker's List:

1) United Citizen's Federation

2) Great Romeo

3) Alif Laam Miim

=====

We have another prospective country wishing to gain admittance to the UN. We can close the current topic [about WMD], and move to introduce the topic to admit another member to the United Nations, with a possibility to return to the original topic [WMD] after that, or we can debate the current topic and move to introduce the new member after the current topic has been exhausted.

Any other points or motions?

[ooc: where did Bedou acquire Guinea and Senegal?]

The Democratic Republic of Russiane wishes to join the U.N. Security Council. I, President Yletzvik Nikinor, am hereby handing over control to six of our Hrimfaxi Class Type Two submarines. Whether we are allowed to join or not. Consider it a gift.

OOC: "ooc: where did Bedou acquire Guinea and Senegal"
I posted I would be claiming three nations...Lebanon was the first.
If you look in the thread where I first claimed Lebanon I posted the Senegal and Guinnea--they were listed open.

I was going to do more rp turn over but I am trying to actually involve myself in the rping wiht others more then just writting backstory ...

Was the listing of Senegal and Guinnea being open incorrect?
If so..I will go hunt down replacements...though I hope not I did a lot o f reading before I picked them.

[ooc: sorry, this is Earth V only, as is clearly indicated by the title. We cannot recognize this welcome measure [although the UN technically doesn't have a fleet in this RP I believe...]

The Emirate delegate is unaware if the UCF delegation decided to take a very long bathroom or what not, but he has a limited time before his slot in the speaker's list expires and we will then automatically defer to the next person on the Speaker's List - which would be the Delegation from Great Romeo.

Are we working on resolutions right now? The chair looks favorably upon a concise resolution that gets the point across and isn't cluttered in UN jargon, because we're all grown up here [maybe...].


Anyway, just a reminder that the UCF is supposed to be on the floor right now, even thought TG6R has not yet updated the Speaker's List and topic of discussion.

The UCR is late, but is now present.

The CWAA votes to continue WMD debate and admit the new member later. We also would like to be added to the speakers list, please.

The Government of United Citizen's Federation would like to bring to the floor that the use of WMD's in a conflict such as this because the people involved in this conflict have holdings in Europe as well as other places. We are thinking of the effects that if will have on rest of the population in Europe. I think that we as the UN Security Council should request a look at all WMD's in the nations in the conflict. We would also like to start a UN Military Forces to look into matters of other nations with WMD's. The Government of United Citizen's Federation would like to allow the UN Security Council to look our WMD's. We will be willing to also allocte some of our military forces to be permanently attached to the UN military forces. We would like to say that as of the nations that has Nuclear Forces. We yield the floor now. Thank you for our time to talk.

We ask all members of the United Nations to recall that the sovereignty of other nations is a crucial aspect of modern international affairs. Any limitations on Weapons of Mass Destruction at anytime relaying on United Nations inspection would be useless, as a nation in war will never consent to such inspections.

As for the United Nations military idea brought up, we strongly oppose the idea of forming a military force for that purpose due to the aforementioned reasons. We yield our time to the chair.

As the next and final speaker on the list, the ALM delegate rises after a long hiatus:

"It is with good intentions that the Emirate speaks its opinion on the matters. It is a tricky business when dealing with nuclear weapons, and while the Emirate has no intention to acquiring these vile weapons or see their use in the near future, we realize that some countries believe that it is an inherent part of the domestic security. While we feel that these thoughts are flawed, we have no intention to interceding the thoughts of those who would govern themselves.

"However, as the global arbiter of peace and stability, it is the role of the United Nations to establish peace and order. And one of the tenets of this peace is a sustainable future for our posterity. Nuclear weapons and other forms of weapons of mass destruction mutually assure the world that the threat of an unsustainable future is always at hand, and with the recent neighborhood of states possessing nuclear weapons expanding, the proliferation of these weapons is - to say the least - distressing.

"We have met with the recent tests of nuclear weapons in the Indian Ocean, and more distantly, a dastardly nuclear attack upon the city of Tashkent. It is apparent that these disconnected events can only show how fragile this peace has become with the advent of new states - either developing or acquiring nuclear weapons technology. And whereas the Emirate strongly disapproves of the use of nuclear weapons, others have taken a less defensive approach to their use, often citing their destructive power as reason to impress upon others the ultimate consequences of unsatisfactory actions.

"As I have stated earlier, weapons of mass destruction clearly present to us the most dire threat to the sustainability of our future, and as long as they exist, they will continue to exist. For this reason, it is the formal opinion of the Emirate that a international convention be established to ascertain the development, proliferation, and use of WMD technology. The purpose of this organization would not be in its nature to prevent other countries from acquiring WMD or even to dismantle existing stockpiles, as those would clearly violate the sovereignty of those countries - rather, this organization would come to regulate its use and proliferation, especially for military matters. Regulation is the key here, for as long as the United Nations is able to ensure the sustainability of the future world, its mission is accomplished in the long run.

"Such a convention would exist and operate under UN protocol, and thus be accountable to all of the countries present, allowing them to police themselves. It would not hinder future development or manifestation by legitimate governments, and it would increase the awareness of WMD technology, its proliferation, and most importantly, its consequences. No country would dare conceive a deliberate strategy of mutually assured destruction as a first strike policy, and hence its regulatory function would be to ensure that WMD stockpiles are stable, safe, and secure. It would also ensure that governments are not under the constant threat of facing total annihilation at the hands of a despotic regime that considers the sustainability of the future secondary to the objectives that that government wishes to attain.

"As always, the UN jurisdiction of this convention would be by the states that govern this body, and hence its judgment will be assured to be just, if not unbiased completely. But as is the case in the UN, we are open to debate, and realizing these policies are but suggestions at the moment, the Emirate would encourage debate to continue. I yield the rest the my time to the chair."


===

The Chair, recognizing the first speakers have spoken, calls for the CWAA representative to speak now, and actively calls for other delegates to sound up for a chance to speak, as if the speaker's list folds, we will automatically proceed into voting procedure for a resolution that does not yet exist.

"The CWAA believes that nuclear weapons should not be used in the American Conflict. The harmful radiation could drift into neutral countries and cause untold damagaes through sickness and contamination of their lands.

"We do, on the other hand, belive the use of chemical and biological weapons may be used, to a certain extent. These are much more pinpoint and controlled than nuclear weapons and is only damaging to living organisms, leaving the surrounding structures intact. We now yield our time to the floor.

The Emirate of Alif Laam Miim rises to speak again, as there are no more speakers on the speaker's list - and seeing as such, we offer a resolution to discuss for possible passage of the UN's actions about NBC weapons:


=========
The United Nations Security Council:

Aware of the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction [WMD],

Concerned by the possibility of their use during the current crises in the Americas,

Reflecting upon previous experiences with WMD usage and their fatal consequences on the local populations,

1. Authorizes the establishment of a new ad hoc UN committee to supervise and regulate usage and proliferation of WMD in the following manners:
a) Inspection of stockpiles to ensure accountability,
b) Incentives for deferred usage of WMD,
c) Support for peaceful uses of alternative solutions for WMD [i.e. nuclear power, antidote research, et cetera],
d) Authorization to enforce clear standards of WMD conduct and behavior, to be determined at a later time;


2. Endorses the establishment of non-nuclear zones, as the recent declaration by the Kingdom of Kopparbergs in Africa;

3. Reminds states that currently possess WMD platforms of the drastic and unintended consequences of the use of WMD in any circumstance;

4. Encourages states to refrain from WMD research, with possible incentives to be determined at a later time;

5. Authorizes member states of the United Nations to display vigilance and prevent the usage of WMD by irresponsible international actors and unrecognized non-state entities;

6. Considers for options to resolve this problem solutions not currently offered in this resolution but offered in future resolutions that refer to this resolution.
=========


The Emirate feels that much if given in this resolution to prevent the use of WMD platforms, while maintaining the distinct authority of states to ensure their own responsible policies of national defense. We encourage all those present to offer changes, to render their support and to vote on it when the time comes.

[ooc: TG6R, UCR is now supposedly present... as are Asian China and someone else...]

The Emirate delegation bumps...

The CWAA seconds this and calls for a vote if there is no further debate on this resolution.

The call to enter voting procedures has been seconded by CWAA - we ought to have a vote on this, but I think that we can simply proceed to voting procedures.

The vote is for the passage or non-passage of Resolution 2.1 [2 being WMD debate, and 1 being the first resolution on the topic] - please make your vote now!


ALM votes yea.

Zhang Yishan, the Asian Chinese UN delegate, said:

- Asian China votes NAY.

- Or reason for this is the same reason Great Rome brought up, "the sovereignty of other nations is a crucial aspect of modern international affairs" and "a nation in war will never consent to such inspections".


As a rebuttal to this critique, the Emirate recognizes that national sovereignty is quite a valid argument, but it can easily be taken to assume that a member state refusing to accede to these protocols does so to preserve their own sovereignty at the detriment to the national sovereignty of other member states; whereas one ensures their own right to refuse these inspections - which are not critical of the programs but more of the policies in using these weapons - they do so at the risk that other state's national sovereignty will be threatened by their own actions, leading to a perilous instability resulting from their refusal to accede to these actions.

I think it would be better phrased as such: "Respect for the sovereignty of other nations is a crucial aspect of modern international relations" - as for the other comment, it is obvious that a state in war has no obligations to accede to any agreements, but again, to refuse inspections would be at their own risk. But any country that is willing to sacrifice the respect of other states is willing to accept the consequences of such actions - with or without the moderation of the United Nations in general.

The UCR, although not listed as present, votes Aye.

Our delegation votes in favor of this draft resolution.

The UCR, although not listed as present, votes Aye.

At this moment, the ALM delegation does not have official presidence over the UNSC body, as the new President is not presently here; but seeing as the Bedou Islamic Confederation is not presently making international actions, we should make this consideration at a later time, if and when their government chooses to reconvene with the UNSC.

OCC: Since, this thread seems to be the only one where all nations get active I thought I join in if you don't mind. Since, the Republic is composed of more then one nation and that would only cause headaches here in the UN. I just decided to have the Republic be represented by one person, one voice.

IC:

After much thought, though the Republic finds the UN to lack the will to preserve peace in our time. The Republic finds that this peace can only be achieved if all nations are willing to work together in forming and maintaining that peace. As the first step towards making Peace and hopefully bringing the war in Europe to a peaceful resolve the Republic officially requests to join the United Nations. Furthermore, the Republic would like the use of the floor to speak to all the nations gather here today.

OCC: That should get this thread active again.

The Irish Republic ask permission to join the United Nations.

OOC: If no one else minds, I will volunteer for the UNSC President.

The UCF would like to also vote for the RUN to be admitted to the United Nations.

The Government of United Citizen's Federation would like to call for the admittance of the Irish Republic to join the United Nations.

The UCR Seconds the UCF's proposal of admitting the Republic of Ireland.

OOC: The Candistani West African Alliance is the current president, who decides the agenda.

Also remember that only draft resolutions and procedural matters can be voted on; discussion of admitting a new member to the UN is neither (although it could quickly become a draft resolution; just look at my last resolution).

The RUN is now a member of the UNSC. We will now move to the current issue of admitting the Republic of Ireland.

Since, the Republic is composed of more then one nation and that would only cause headaches here in the UN. I just decided to have the Republic be represented by one person, one voice.

IC:

After much thought, though the Republic finds the UN to lack the will to preserve peace in our time. The Republic finds that this peace can only be achieved if all nations are willing to work together in forming and maintaining that peace. As the first step towards making Peace and hopefully bringing the war in Europe to a peaceful resolve the Republic officially requests to join the United Nations. Furthermore, the Republic would like the use of the floor to speak to all the nations gather here today.

OCC: That should get this thread active again.

The FSWA would like to call a vote for the admittance of the Republic of United Nations. We yield our time to the floor.

The ALM delegation seconds the motion.

[ooc: we need a president of the UNSC more than anything...]

here and here

I'm a member of the UN and I wish to had a permanent seat at the security council. Can I? Were can I ask for if it is possible.

hmmm, I'd love to do something here, but nothing's going on.

OOC: Luckily we forgot to vote.

IC:

We "no" to this resolution (which constitutes a veto, meaning it fails), move to make "Admits the Republic of Ireland to the Security Council and General Assembly" a friendly amendment, and move to re-introduce this resolution to vote.

The Emirate delegation respectfully inquires what the current motion is.

As does the Republic. The Republic has submitted a wish to be placed on the speakers list so as to propose a resolution to the General Assembly for voting.

The FSWA also wishes to know what the resolution is for. Therefore, the speakers list is opened on debate of the said resolution. The RUN has the floor.

OOC: The RUN is not in the UN until the (now) current resolution passes. The last motion was to introduce the revised resolution to vote (and quickly pass it so the RUN has a chance to speak).

From my understand it already did pass. The last resolution brought to vote accourding to your post-"We "no" to this resolution (which constitutes a veto, meaning it fails), move to make "Admits the Republic of Ireland to the Security Council and General Assembly" a friendly amendment, and move to re-introduce this resolution to vote."- has already been voted by all who are present or most and they said yes.

Your post is very confusing Sixth because you seem to be saying, no to admitting the Republic of Ireland and then putting again to vote on admitting the Republic of Ireland to the UN. Unless, your thinking of some other resolution Sixth-then from the last few posts including mine- none of us have any idea what resolution you want voted on. Which by de facto gives me the floor since no resolution is being voted on and I have asked for the floor twice-once before you had re-introduce that resolution to vote. Which ever resolution that is because not even I'm sure. :confused:

It's all very confusing and even typing that was confusing.

What's going on? Anyone? :confused:

Well Someone made a resolution to admit the Republic of Ireland and the RUN to the UNSC. Does anybody honestly have objections to either joining, because if not, I think they should just be admitted.

OOC: Opps, you're right. Security Council Resolution 5 passed a week ago according to the President's post, which I missed. Ireland is now in the UN and UNSC.

IC:

Security Council Working Paper 6 (2007)

The Security Council,

Recognizing the need for the United Nations to expand,

Appalled at the bureaucratic blunder of the delayed draft resolution,

Acting under the Charter of the United Nations,

Admits the Republic of the United Nations to the Security Council and General Assembly.

Sponsors:

The Great Sixth Reich

We move to introduce this draft resolution to vote.

OOC: We can all assume it passes, correct? No one has any objection to the RUN joining the UN?

There is a draft resolution on the floor. Is there a second to vote on this resolution?

I think you just did that Candistan. Anyway, here's a bump so others can see this and we can move on so I can speak.

The Republic of Ireland thanks the nations of the UN for admitting the Republic in UN and UNSC. We vote aye for the admittance of RUN (if it's still in voting).

I really don't think anyone will obeject to you so as of right now, you are on the speakers list and are recognised.

The delegate for the Republic of United Nations [RUN] rises to speak, "Continuing on the groundwork started by my esteemed colleague from the Emirate of Alif Laam Miim, we submit the following resolution on Weapons of Mass Destruction [WMDs] to the UN Security Council to debate for possible passage if the majority of the members agree.

====================

The United Nations Security Council:

Aware of the threats posed by weapons of mass destruction [WMD] and specially Nuclear Weapons,

Reflecting upon previous experiences with WMD usage and their fatal consequences on the world's populations should they ever be used,


Authorizes the establishment of permanent non-WMD zones in Africa and Europe:

This covers the removal all types of Weapons of Mass Destruction-Chemical, Biological and Nuclear from these areas;

Allows the use of Nuclear Power for Civilian Uses and on military vessels such as Carriers and Submarines in the non-nuclear zones;
Recognizing that states that currently posses WMDs might be unwilling to dismantle all their weapons on the grounds of National Security, imposes a limit of a maximum of 550 warheads of all types per state;
Encourages all nations to permanently dismantle their nuclear weapons and/or at least reduce their numbers to the limit of 550 warheads of all types:

Furthermore, encourages all nations to stop research into the other types of WMDs and to completely destroy their Chemical and Biological Stockpiles;

Endorses the research on Nuclear Power for peaceful uses and to make Nuclear Warheads safer to maintain;
Permits member states of the United Nations to display vigilance and prevent the usage of WMDs by irresponsible international actors and unrecognized non-state entities including the use of imposing sanctions and need be force to prevent the spread of WMDs in these designated non-WMD areas;
====================

The Republic of United Nations [RUN] feels that the passage of this resolution will bring about a greater stability in the world, while at the same time maintaining the rights of the fellow nations of the world to still maintain their own responsible policies.

We encourage all those present to offer their opinions to improve the resolution, to give their support and to vote on it when the time comes.

There is a draft resolution on the floor. All in favor of the resolution state so now.

The Emirate is fairly certain that the United Nations Security Council already passed a similar resolution and we would like to understand how this resolution differs or enhances the previous resolution.

Despite our rather silent stance in the previous two months, the Emirate delegation wishes to ask of any updates for the months of May and/or June.
