A question for MODs about UN resolutions

I would like to know whether it is against the game rules if a resolution states that it affects non-UN members, for example a human rights resolution that states that sanctions will be imposed for non-compliance no matter if the concerned nations are UN members or not?

I would guess that it is not permissible, since the resolution would then give an impression going counter to its actual effects, but I would be grateful for a MOD opinion.

Thank you.

Not a mod, but hopefully I can save them the work...

You can't enforce UN law on non-UN members, no. You can mention non-UN members in proposals, but only with regard to what UN members are allowed and not allowed to do to them.

Rehochipe is correct.

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, btw.

My question was more like this: Would a proposal that threatens sanctions to non-UN members (for any reason) be allowed at all?

Nope.

In fact, it might even be considered a "Major Infraction" and result in immediate ejection from the UN.
