Category: Social Justice


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Mesvah

Description: It has been found that:
-nations with strong economies find nations with lesser economies inferior
-resolutions and proposals by lesser known nations are blatantly ignored by United Nations
-nations with prior records of dominating regions are treated as wreckers of peaceful union
In recognition of these facts, it will become unlawful for United Nations members to judge nations because of thier economic and regional powers, thier social standings on Civil Rights and political freedoms, as well as thier prior actions.
In effect,Proposals and Resolutions shall be greeted with open minds, and vendettas shall not be taken out upon the world stage on fellow nations.You mean we don't judge proposals with open minds?

Proposed by: Wet sponges

Description: SIMPLY HITTING THE SKY (Representing the point where peopple are stepping over the line)

REALIZING people are sloppy and poorly presented everywhere they go.

SUPPRTING the fact that we support people of our nations deserve to be protected from certain indecencies.

RESTORING the good and peaceful times since last year.

TRYING to help those who have been abused to be protected by these laws.

I want to see my people more protected from things like indecent exposure and prostitution.

I JUST WANT THE BEST FOR ALL PEOPLE OF THE UN, NOT JUST MY OWN.You want to do what now?:confused:

Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize


Proposed by: Kbm

Description: GAMBLING of any nature shut bee legalize.

BECAUSE it's peoples life and their choice either they are gambling ore not.

IF wee wish a more free world this shut bee a big step.

TAXES on gambling could bee a great deal for the governments worldwide.

RESOURCE shows that only 1% taxes can make billions of money to a government.

MONEY that can be use to better hospitals, schools ore something else.

THERE is a chance for that gambling can make people poor but it's thir choice to gambling.

IT can also make people rich and happy.

LEGALIZE gambling in every UN country to make a better life for the peoples in the world.I'd suggest spell check but I don't think it would help.

Illegal. UN Resolution #109 Nuclear Armaments prohitbits making nukes illegal so there for you can't cut off teh power sorce for nukes
Actually as Forgottenlands pointed out yes you can do this, besides the proposal never actually says that you can't produce nukes, it only says that you can't mine uranium so if you have a stockpile of uranium already mined, or you obtain it from a source outside of the UN you're still able to produce nukes.

And speaking of nukes
Category: Repeal


Resolution: #109


Proposed by: Shar-Vajra II

Description: UN Resolution #109: Nuclear Armaments (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: While acknowledging the dangers posed by external nations, and also realising the need to protect individual nations and their sovereignty, the NationStates UN UTTERLY REJECTS the use of nuclear weapons on humanitarian, environmental, economic and global terms, these being:
The horrific sicknesses and injuries caused by nuclear weapons
The massive amounts of innocent civilian death, and the unreliability of weapons aiming systems
The immense environmental destruction of the surrounding area and the risk of endangering rare and unique animals in the gene pool
The end of economic activity in the area and in the whole nation as resources are diverted to the aid effort - this means the end of a useful trade partnership or trade opportunities for years
The creation of carte blanche for rogue nations and terrorists - they feel that if powerful nations have the right to use nuclear weaponry, then they also have that right. This leads to the impression that any peaceful disarmament is a form of subjugation. This can lead to the development of, trade in, and the use of, nuclear weapons.

As a result, the NationStates UN proposes an embargo on nuclear weapons within all UN nations, as a shining example to the rest of the world. However, the use of atomic energy for power generation and all medical uses shall be permitted. These should be carefully monitored by the UN.Oh joy, another illegal attempt to repeal my resolution.:rolleyes:

Now, it should get blown out for being bloody stupid since nuke-era nations can just turn to....TRADING WITH NON-MEMBERS

And because of this illegal clause...

Will set up a Uranium mining police force to check that all nations abide by this law

Legalize Illicit Substances
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.


Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Legalize
Proposed by: Pelham Manor

Description: Noting that the world, not to the exclusion of most UN nations, currently is engaged in many cross-border, often militarized, conflicts.
Also noting that the world is currently threatened by traditional types of crime, such as hate crimes, random acts of violence, rape, slavery, poverty, starvation, ethnic cleansing, as well as murder.
Considering the fact that for years, the world has, quite unsuccessfully, and, if anything, rather counter-productively, engaged in a financially detrimental and wasteful "War on Drugs," that has, if anything, exacerbated the problems in which this "War" has attempted to resolve.
As the world is and will be continually threatened with unprecedented levels of terrorism; and the UN and its members are simultaneously faced with a moral obligation to defend worldwide democracy, to fight these terroristic threats, and in doing, warding off the dangerous influences of religious fundamentalism, which has and will continue to threaten democracy and religious liberty and tolerance as we know it.
Realizing that out of the many threats the world currently faces, the so-called "War on Drugs" has shown itself to be a futile endeavor, and that the UN and all member nations must cease participation in this meaningless effort at once. Rather, we must focus on the aforementioned legitimate and meaningful threats to the world as we know it.
Appreciating that legalization of all currently worldwide illicit drugs and other substances will improve the world's economy, reduce worldwide crime, and allow the world to focus on more important issues.
Requiring and urging the UN and its member nations to legalize all currently illicit or illegal drugs and other substances, such as, but exclusive of, marijuana, cocaine, opium.
This action will result in a greater worldwide level of liberty, improved worldwide economy, lessened crime, and will finally allow us, being UN member nations, to focus on true threats to democracy, humanity, and civilization, such as the aforementioned fight against terrorism and religious extremism.

UN - Leave us alone!
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.


Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: 360 Heaven

Description: The UN's laws should be weakened and their effects placed only on those nations who vote FOR proposals.
Those who vote AGAIMST proposals should not have to be subjected to the UN's laws.
(NOTE: that is for all proposals after this one - obviously)

Approvals: 2 (Penguinlanden, Desert Storm Iraq)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 128 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Thu Jun 8 2006

Firstly, the proposal does nothing - It says that nations who vote FOR have the resolution effects placed on them and doesn't sort out what to do with nations who vote AGAINST or not at all. I mean, no-one can possibly vote AGAIMST (not that I know of anyway)

Ignore the spelling mistake and basically, the UN doesn't exist because everyone is happy because nations who want the proposal get it placed on them and those who don't won't. Isn't the whole of the NSUN about people complaining about bad resolutions that have been forced on them?

Anyway, funny proposal. It might create peace and harmony in the UN though. Anyway want to approve it?

I've always been of the opinion that if a proposal is so blatently illegal then not only the author should get a warning, but every one who approves it. Alas I'm a minority of one here. Yes this is a mechanic violation, you can't change the way the NS UN works; when a resolution is passed the cateory code is applied to all UN nations ... NO EXCEPTIONS.

Alas I'm a minority of one here.

Proposed by: Lebanes Cedars

Description: Every kid has a rite to be educated like the right to be protected. if all the kids that are poor are funded money and are being taught they can have a better future but not only that later on when they are working they can make the countries economy bigger. at the end it all ads up when all these poor children cant work and its all so not about the money.You know, I'd make a joke about how the numerous spelling and grammatical errors make this proposal's case for it, but that would be mean.

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Nospam

Description: This proposal controls the assault of non-solicited pornography and marketing, establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them. The proposal recommends the creation of the UN CAN-SPAM Commission authorized to enforce CAN-SPAM.

Here's a rundown of the law's main provisions:

- It bans false or misleading header information. Your email's "From," "To," “Subject,” and routing information - including the originating domain name and email address – must be accurate and identify the person who initiated the email.
- It requires that commercial email be identified as an advertisement and include the sender's valid physical postal address. Your message must contain clear and conspicuous notice that the message is an advertisement or solicitation and that the recipient can opt out of receiving more commercial email from you. It also must include your valid physical postal address.

Penalties
Each violation of the above provisions is subject to fines of up to $11,000. Deceptive commercial email also is subject to laws banning false or misleading advertising. Any nation that fails to live up to the rules of CAN-SPAM will be cut off from the Internet!

That's just as silly as can be.

This was never actualy proposed but It is funny anyways:

Tt should be individual nations' choice whether or not it wants to enact such a restriction on its oil industry. The industry may want to use single-hulled tankers, seeing as they are ligheter, faster, and cheaper to build. True, doubl-hulled tankers are more safe,

INSTEAD OF DOUBLE-HULLS, companies should be required to train their tanker crews extensively to help prevent environmental disasters. True this may cost money, however it wouldn't be nearly as expensive as it is to build double-hulled tankers are single-hulled.

In the end it comes down CHOICE, and it should be individual nations' choice.Next time, try submitting the repeal correctly.

Proposed by: Fredirikton

Description: Terrorism is a global threat.

The UN must act on this threat.

I propose that the UN create a global anti-terrorism unit (UNATU) to combat the rising threat of terrorism.

UNATU will be able to enter any UN country to arrest and detain an individual or group.

UNATU will work in co-operation with national police and intelligence forces.

Any nation in the UN can appeal an arrest made inside of their national boundaries.

National intelligence agencies will be required to give up information on any terror suspect if requested to do so by UNATU.

All people arrested by UNATU will be handed over to the nation where the arrests were made after they have been charged using the nation's pre-existing laws.

This anti-terrorism unit will significantly increase the security of all UN nations.Illegal, the UN can't have a police force.

Proposed by: The Generic Land Mass

Description: RECOGNIZING, whoever controls what words you can or cannot hear, read, or use, or what images you can or cannot see, restricts the global exchange of ideas and the free flow of knowledge and information, effectively halting social progression.

CONSIDERING, The censorship of certain words, phrases, and/or images by the government of any nation contradicts the core values of transparency and freedom of information, which are fundamentally essential to the advancement of any society.

WHEREAS, excluding certain words and/or images from collective thought serve to ultimately rid society of certain concepts/ideas in time, be they desirable or undesirable, at the state's discretion.

WHEREAS, the global exchange of ideas and free flow of information is an important aspect in the progressive development of a functioning society.


IT IS HEREBY DECLARED AND RESOLVED BY THESE UNITED NATIONS that the use of censorship as a tool to mold the minds, ideas, and ultimately, thoughts of the people by its government is banned, and expressly prohibited.

IT IS MANDATED THAT no United Nations member nation censor the views, words, expressions, ideas, images, and/or thoughts of the people.

The penalty for censorship shall be expulsion from the United Nations.

The United Nations is hereby REQUIRED to assemble and convene a committee on censorship, which shall be known as "The United Nations Committee on Censorship" (UNCC), to review the censorship laws of United Nations member nations, and expel those member nations who have not complied with this legislation within 180 days from the date of passage of this act. The aforementioned committee shall consist of UN member nations who at the time of passage of this resolution have laws in place banning the use of censorship as defined by this resolution.

Expelled member states can, if desired, apply for review, and ultimately re-admission to the UN, by the UNCC no earlier than 365 days from the effective date of expulsion

No part of this resolution shall be construed as banning the release of information damaging to the national security of UN member nations, or as denying any person their right to individual privacy, as defined by the individual classification laws of the respective nations.And again we have a resolution that tries to eject nations from the UN.

Description:
The Government of Royston--Vasey has noted a rise in the number of road deaths in all nations in the past 10 years. This is due to the reckless driving of some people who do not stop at crossings. To encourage drivers to stop and so reduce road deaths, the Inflatable Gandalf Act would install 4 inflatable Gandalfs on all road crossings which shout "You shall not pass" at speeding vehicles which refuse to stop at crossings where pedestrians are waiting to cross. Where there are no road crossings, the act would provide the local residents with their very own Inflatable Gandalf to aid safe passage.

Proposed by: Gava

Description: The Free Land of Gava proposes a set of rights for adoptive parents. There have been many situations where children are taken from good homes and returned to their biological parents against the child's wishes. Returning a child to parents who have already shown that they don't wish to be a part of that child's life can cause lasting emotional problems for that child. In the interest of protecting children and adoptive families the following should be enacted:

I. Upon the adoption of a child, parental rights are transferred to the adoptive family for as long as that child is considered a minor.

II. The biological parents of a child placed up for adoption relinquish all parental rights to that child.

III. Children cannot be forced to leave their adopted family and return to their biological parents.

IV. Adoptive parents will have all the same rights to their children that biological parents have to theirs.

V. Biological parents are not permitted to seek out their children after placing the child for adoption until the children are no longer considered minor. Adopted children ARE permitted to seek their biological parents at any time. Didn't we already do this, or at least something along these lines?

This also HEREBY STATES: Government funds for education shall also increase, making it easier for families to pay off debts they might owe in order for their loved one to go to school.

Continued: This will also increase the want for higher positions in the work place. Increased competition means businesses will be receiving the top employees for the job.

Furthermore: we will also see an increase in graduate admissions which will increase the number of Doctors, Lawyers, and Professional Businessmen.

Encourage: vote for our children's education, vote for our future.

Description: There has been talk in recent weeks in the media of the governments in certain countries taxing people dependant on their body mass index.

This proposal would take a less radical approach, and aims to improve personal environment and general health of the nation’s state population.

The FAT TAX would work by applying a higher FAT 'Fat Added Tax' to all fast foods that are purchased over the counter of a fast food restaurant.

The FAT TAX proposes that any item of food sold in a fast food restaurant with a fat content of 10 grams or higher be subject to a an additional tax to the value of 10 percent of the price of the product.

To Further discourage the purchase of fatty foods the FAT tax also looks at decreasing the current tax rate on fresh produce purchased at the supermarkets or grocery stores by 5 percent overall.Should this pass all fast food restaurants in The Rogue Nation of Flibbleites will raise their counters and pass the food to the customers under the counter thereby negating the clause that requires the tax be added to all fast foods purchased over the counter.

Should this pass all fast food restaurants in The Rogue Nation of Flibbleites will raise their counters and pass the food to the customers under the counter thereby negating the clause that requires the tax be added to all fast foods purchased over the counter.

4.) A longer lifespan for the populace in general.

5.) More responsible parents, knowing that it is they who are entrusted with their child's safety, not a labor manager.

I think those make good points so please UN Delegates and Members help our children and support this proposalHasn't this been done already?

Area of Effect: Educational


Proposed by: Darklands2006

Description: Considering the quick development of the Information and Communication Technologies in the World;

Considering that Information is Knowledge;

Considering the needs of e-inclusion in all Countries of the United Nations;

Considering that the United Nations are delayed in what concerns to the Information Society subject;

Concerning the need to promote the use of Information and Communication Technologies by the citizens, enterprises and public administration as a way to eliminate bureaucracy;

We propose that a discipline of "Information and Communication Technologies" should be introduced in primary school.

This will be VERY IMPORTANT for the future of our nations. Since the use of Information and Communication Technologies would be spread in our Nations, take a look in the advantages:
1) We can promote an environmental proposal to all business and public administration bodies to reduce the use of paper and to foment the use of Information and Communication Technologies. This would be cheaper to the enterprises and much better for the environment. It's a win-win;
2) The Government can reduce his costs too, by eliminating bureaucracy;
3) The enterprises as well as the Government processes will be faster. And we all know that time is money;
4) The citizens will have more chances to communicate with their friends and relatives.
5) The Country, in general, will be more Technological which is a clear advantage
6) The development of an Information Society will bring advantages to areas like: Business, Enterprises, Government, Citizens, Education, Technological Development, etc.

Considering all that is written above, lets introduce a discipline of "Information and Communication Technologies" in primary school. This discipline should follow the pupils since the primary school until the end of their educational process.I know this one's been done.:rolleyes:

Respect National Identity

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Brandon Burum

Description: ABSTRACT: This resolution restricts future resolutions to matters concerning only international commerce and relations. This resolution furthers democracy because it gives the right to make decisions on national issues by the nations in question without homogenizing mandates by the UN.

INTRODUCTION: Recently many resolutions up for a vote in the UN have infringed on the right of individual nations to decide how to resolve issues themselves. Resolutions such as abortion, euthanasia, missile tags and tree planting impose a standard set of values on all member nations. Nations are individual states because they have the right to determine their own values and own solutions to the forementioned issues. Homogenizing national values through UN resolutions inhibits democracy as all member nations are supposedly bound by these resolutions. Resolutions such as international waste disposal, copywrite, and pollution standards however should be encouraged because in those cases the actions of one nation affect other nations.

DISCUSSION:
RECOGNIZING - the UN does not punish nations labelled as “psychotic dictatorships” and therefore forfeits its right to pass resolutions on human rights.
RECOGNIZING - the UN is a council of many cultures and ideas, and as such should understand the value of not imposing one standard for national values.
RECOGNIZING - the only reason to have an international council, such as the UN, is to govern international commerce and relations.
AFFIRMING - the UN should respect the autonomy of all nations, members or not.

THIS RESOLUTION MANDATES that the only resolutions this body is authorized to pass are those concerning international trade and relations, not in the spirit of imposing values (regardless of clarity or vagueness).

3) The nations with military bases in other nations shall withdraw and evacuate all their armed forces and weapons from those foreign bases.
4) Within 1 year all the nations with weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, biological and chemical weapons) must dismantle those weapons and give the inspectors of IAEA and CDBCW full access to the sites for verification that no weapons of mass destruction remain.

The poor can eat
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Bradendon2

Description: This resolution will issue all nations with a fine for every citizen that can not afford to eat or a decent standard of living.

This resolution recognises that some member nations do not have the money to pay for the poor to eat. Therefore it will set up humanitarian aid for all governments to give their Populus food and water

This resolution will issue all nations that have less than a $100 a day income per person to increase it to that bare minimum. This means that nations that do have the money and do have the ability to do but chose not shall be fined the value of $500 per citizen. This means that it would be cheaper and easier to give the citizens of the nation the money to pay that.

Nations that can not afford to do this shall be exempt from all fines and all fines paid shall be put back into the aid packages for the most needy.

This resolution is to improve the life of all the nations that can not afford a decent standard of living. A decent standard of living is having enough to eat, drink and having the education and healthcare facilities to a bare standard.

This resolution will mean that all very poor nations that do not have enough money shall be giving that money by humanitarian aid and money to the nations to supply the citizens with that money.

Also means that all nations that can afford this shall be forced to do so and improve the life of those citizens that are the most needy.

The main aim of this resolution is to help the citizens that have had a bad hand dealt to them in life and to give them a better chance and opertunities in life.

Pressurized traffic lights
Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation
Proposed by: Princepotonia

Description: I feel an proposal should be made on the issue of traffice lights.

As many of us have seen, traffic lights will turn to red on the lanes populated with cars and to a lane with no cars at the time on them. This is due to the inadequet timing of the traffic light systems currently used today throughout these nations. This problem can very easily be solved by the instalation of pressure pads, and cameras and intersections with traffic lights. With the instilation of these devices, Traffic flow could continue smoothly without unessecairy interuption. The pressure pads, working together with the cameras, determine how many cars are on the roads of the intersection in each lane. For example, if the lane going east has 20 cars going through the intersection, but the North lane only has three stopped cars, the system will determine that the east lane lights should be kept green. But once the level of volume decreases, say three cars on the east land and 7 on the North, the system will then change the lights. I feel that this will keep traffic in our nations flowing smoothly, and keep agravations levels down.


Wow this is a really stupid proposal. Most intersections don't have traffic lights let alone presurized ones with camera's. :p

Actually, it disregards a lot of facts.

1) Pressure pads often only gauge the front tires of the first car in a line. It generally ignores the other cars.
2) They are expensive to install
3) Not everyone is smart enough to operate them, thus meaning you might be sitting behind someone for half an hour because they don't know what the cuts in the road indicate
4) Timing lights is must more accurate
5) Pedestrian crossing abilities also are a consideration
etc.

Continental Air Filters

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Uranium Mining
Proposed by: Pardflingo

Description: This is a plan to introduce a concept called Continental Air Filter (C.A.F.) to improve the air quality of every nation. A CAF is essentially a massive air filter built in the middle of a continent, that soaks in all air pollution and spreads pure air to all people of that continent. Here are the benefits of them

1. By cleaning the air of all continents, people will be healthier.
2. Acid rain will decrease.
3. The matinence and operation of these massive filters will create millions of jobs worldwide.

The CAFs will power themselves, running on polluted air, not needing electricity or any other power supply.

However, if a CAF is installed on your continent, Uranium Mining will take a severe blow. Very sensitive technology is inside these machines, and a high uranium concentration could interfere with a CAF cause the entire devise to explode.

So, in conclusion, I urge all of you to trade the small cost of Uranium for the large benefit of more pure air in the future.

Say No To Handguns

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: SdKfz 186

Description: The General Assembly of the United Nations,

RECOGNIZING the role of handguns in criminal activities

FURTHER RECOGNIZING most murders occur with the use of a handgun

NOTING police and government officials will not be subject to this law

DEFINES "handguns" as any small gun, normally fired with one hand. Thus either a revolver or a semi-automatic pistol, but including sawed-off shotguns, meant for personal use (used by one person) in short-range action.

HEREBY

1. MANDATES the removal of all handguns from private persons;

2. MANDATES that all arms manufacturers immediately cease production of handguns for private retail and sales.

3. REALIZES that private persons of some nations have a right to bare arms, but also realizes that the type of arms these persons can own should be limited for the betterment of the whole nation.

While I understand that mods often use this thread to check for illegal proposals, I note that not all of them are illegal, nor do we report all illegal proposals here. While I agree that if they are illegal, we should mention that (and perhaps we could ease your pain by saying "this looks legal but :rolleyes: "), but this thread isn't about pointing out all the illegal proposals that we find, just the extremely stupid ones - legal or not.

Oh, you're no fun.

Illegal for a RL reference, "$".Actually, we usually let currency symbols slide.


1) Pressure pads often only gauge the front tires of the first car in a line. It generally ignores the other cars.
2) They are expensive to install
3) Not everyone is smart enough to operate them, thus meaning you might be sitting behind someone for half an hour because they don't know what the cuts in the road indicate
4) Timing lights is must more accurate
5) Pedestrian crossing abilities also are a considerationActually, actually...

1)Most interesections by me have at least three in each lane, as well as an overflow to trigger if traffic is way too backed up.
2)True
3)Nah, you usually only get total lock-outs in the middle of the night. Most (well planned) systems still have timers; the pads are just to accelerate the change.
4)Not always. The problem with timers is that municipalities are usually terrible at reasessment, leading to timers that are woefully insufficient. There's one by my house, actually. Two very busy roads where E/W gets a 90 second light, but N/S gets a 30 second light. It's also by an expressway... fully loaded semis can easily take more than 30 seconds to clear an intersection after a full stop.
5)Just a matter of priorities. In all honesty, police strobes screw up things more.

Of course, this is hardly a matter for the UN, but it's not a horrible idea in and of itself.

Cool

1)Most interesections by me have at least three in each lane, as well as an overflow to trigger if traffic is way too backed up.

Huh. Never seen an intersection like that....but then again, I've never looked at places less than 20 minutes from downtown for the markings.

2)True
3)Nah, you usually only get total lock-outs in the middle of the night. Most (well planned) systems still have timers; the pads are just to accelerate the change.

That would be sensible, now wouldn't it. However, point to me where the author indicated they should be used simultaneously. (Speaking of which, having watched my friend try and develope image interpretation algorithms, the cameras are a shite idea too). He seemed to have the theory that cameras and pressure pads are all that you need.

BTW - there's one intersection at the YMCA I used to go to where they didn't put a timer on the minor road, and only one side of the minor road had a pressure pad. You actually did have to go and press the pedestrian button if you wanted to get out of the YMCA parking lot.

4)Not always. The problem with timers is that municipalities are usually terrible at reasessment, leading to timers that are woefully insufficient. There's one by my house, actually. Two very busy roads where E/W gets a 90 second light, but N/S gets a 30 second light. It's also by an expressway... fully loaded semis can easily take more than 30 seconds to clear an intersection after a full stop.

Er.....I was on crack when I said that. Timers CAN be much better done and certainly it is near impossible to have a reasonable system without them. That said, the city I grew up in seemed to be very good with timing out where I lived. Other areas.....maybe not. But I certainly never experienced any problems. Where I live now, the timers are crap, but that's because I'm going opposite the flow of Rush Hour so.....

5)Just a matter of priorities. In all honesty, police strobes screw up things more.

Yeah. But again, he left no option to give them any priority. Pressure sensors don't really do too well for pedestrians. Pedestrian buttons work well. Timers also work quite well. Pressure sensors......

"If you would like to cross 51st Street, please stand with your feet in these two holes."

Of course, this is hardly a matter for the UN, but it's not a horrible idea in and of itself.

Intent is ok for municipality consideration. Text is crap for municipality consideration.

Fair 'nuff. I believe we can agree on the following?

"Good idea to consider for locals. Bad idea for UN. Shit text."

Proposed by: Lisergicanabis

Description: The Commonwealth of Lisergicanbis asks for the support of the nations in this organization to pass this proposal
------------------------------------------------------------

RECYCLING PROPOSITION



KNOWING that recycling used materials improves the conservation of the environment and reduce the world demands for the exploration and destruction of wildlife and flora.As well as reducing the risk of lost of human lives in mines and similar activities that could be greatly avoided if the recycling percentage of the wast was re-used for similar and in many cases totally different purposes.

WE propose that all UN States members should reinforce existing recycling laws and the creation of such laws on non law-existing members.


PROPOSED STANDARDS

THE RECYCLING OF ONE QUARTER (25%) OF ALL POSSIBLY RECYCLABLE ORGANIC AND NON-ORGANIC WASTE OR
REDIRECTION OF THE SAME TO OTHER STATES WHERE IT WOULD BE PROCESSED

THE TRADING AGREEMENT IS OPEN FOR DESITION TO THE NATIONS THAT TAKE PART ON IT.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS THE THAT THE WASTE MUST BE TRADED TO DESTINATIONS WHERE IT WILL BE TREATED.

This proposal will directly influence in the increase of welfare where is adopted the creation of
recycling laws in the UN members thus enhancing the environment and creating new economic
opportunities in the creation of new recycling industries in states where it doesn't, growth in
the already present industry existing states that recycling isn't very developed as well as
expanding the chances of trade on "un-recycled" material for processing in other nations (the
inclusion of organic waste that can be re-utilized in the farming industry for egg.)
As well as a possible significant growth in the trading relations between member states there is
a clear "side -efect" that is creation of job in a primary and secondary scale in numerous other
bussinnes including but not limited to Transportation, Cargo&Delivery, Portuary industries,
Recycling plants, Agricultural and many others.

The trade limitations are due to the possibility of members of the UN just ditching their
un-ricycled wast into nations that wont recycle it.
Thus the possibility of trading the wast with nations that are non-UN or that dont have and local
recycling rules but are willing to take in waste adn recycle it as an economic commodity such as an
recycling industry. As well as leaving opportunity for friend or allied nations to take un-recycled
wast for free.

Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Sila Newsomia

Description: AFFIRMING the common belief in the sanctity of life and common goal of the protection of life.

BELIEVING that all mean are created equally, which opposes the practice condemning life based on the merit of a man or woman. The practice of attaching merit and the right to live opposes the acts of murder whether decided by the judgment of one human being or the consensus of a group.

ARGUING that there are better methods to deter crime whether minor offense or extreme. Neither individual nor group has the natural right to decide the fate or right to life. Attaching merit to a life to decide its right to continue existence is what occurs in criminal murder and in the "lawful" condemning of an individual to death. It is right to say that the severity of a punishment should fit the crime but the problem with capital punishment is that in cases where the crime is savage, how can the community punish the guilty and maintain its humanity? The question become, “how much will we degrade ourselves in pursuit of justice?” and “how can we consider our cause righteous if we act along the same thought pattern as the criminal?” If we believe in the sanctity of human life and the violation of that sanctity is considered barbaric and uncivilized, why should we pursue the same means for punishment?

BELIEVING Capital punishment does not show any regard for the sanctity of life but rather becomes legal barbarism. The goals of capital punishment, retribution and deterrence go unaccomplished in a justice system. Not only does it not accomplish its goal but also it is almost impossible to fairly administer this type of punishment.

ARGUING- Mohandas Gandhi said, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind”. This quote is important because it contradicts the basic argument for capital punishment. Most proponents would agree that retribution for the crime committed is one purpose of capital punishment. There are better deterrents to crimes.
MANDATE-
1. All countries shall abolish the death penalty

2. There shall be mandatory increase of government spending for education in the classics, art, history and music.

3. There shall be mandatory education in world religions, cultural practices, and philosophy.

4. There shall be mandatory government spending for crime prevention initiatives including cross culture contact because of a "Buddy Abroad" program starting in elementary schools. Other types of initiative programs will be decided by the government.

5. Mandatory institution of programs in prisons, created by the government, with the goal of producing viable citizens and deterring further crime.


FINAL ARGUMENT- Capital Punishment serves only to offend the public leaving a bitter after taste. Secondly, capital punishment is death by merit or the lack thereof. The goal of punishment is rehabilitation, retribution and reconciliation. We place people in jail to allow them to think and change so that when they are set free they are expected to be a functioning member of society once again. They are to learn from their mistake but capital punishment is a ‘pessimistic’ punishment. It allows for no rehabilitation, no salvaging of the humanity that we condemn the criminals for lacking. Therefore, Capital Punishment is restricted to revenge instead of retribution, which is no more noble the act that created the want for revenge.:rolleyes: (that's a "legal but stupid" one Fris)

Go Green Act 1
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: Galldie

Description:
1)The enviroment is being destroyed by global warming and must be stopped.
2)It means we much change our energy sources to renewables eg solar power,wind power and tidal power.
3)It also will require funding from governments into advancements into renewable sources of energy.

This proposal is for the good of the enviroment and the earth. Some answers from an expert:

If global warming occurs, will it be harmful?
The idea that global warming would melt the ice caps and flood coastal cities seems to be mere science fiction. A slight increase in temperature -- whether natural or mankind induced -- is not likely to lead to a massive melting of the earth ice caps, as sometimes claimed in the media. Also, sea-level rises over the centuries relate more to warmer and thus expanding oceans, not to melting ice caps. Contrary to some groups' fear mongering about the threat of diseases, temperature changes are likely to have little effect on the spread of diseases. Experts say that deterioration in public health practices such as rapid urbanization without adequate infrastructure, forced large scale resettlement of people, increased drug resistance, higher mobility through air travel, and lack of insect-control programs have the greatest impact on the spread of vector-borne diseases. Larger quantities of CO2 in the atmosphere and warmer climates would likely lead to an increase in vegetation. During warm periods in history vegetation flourished, at one point allowing the Vikings to farm in now frozen Greenland.

That is the proposal please pass it.

So, the environment (which is being destroyed by global warming) "must be stopped"! :p
Either the author is trying to mandate an immediate 100% changeover to renewable sources of energy, or they're allowing every government to take as long as it wants (and to spend as little more on research as it feels like) which would make the proposal fairly useless, but their wording's so vague that it isn't clear which of those conflicting alternatives was intended...
Illegal for a RL reference, to the Vikings in Greenland, anyway...

NO guns in the Un

Category: Gun Control
Decision: Tighten
Proposed by: Seperatist planets

Description: I believe that we should destry all factories that are used to make guns and/or bullets and other pieces of ballistic weaponry. This will indefinatly stop all gun crime as there will be no guns to use. the army, navy and air force will need guns but small factories inside training camps can be built so that every fighting man or woman may have one weapon. The countrysides should be sweeped from the ground and air to see if there are any illegal gun factories and in a matter of days the factory would be surrounded and anybody that is not registered to make weapons arrested there and then. Police officers will need more traing yes but then they will be able to incapacitate over kill the offender.

Takes the police's guns away, then sends them to arrest the people in illegal gun factories who will (I presume...) be likely to use guns against them.

Tightening Gun Control

Category: Gun Control

Proposed by: Freedom-novia

Description: Allowing only members of the armed forces and the police to carry guns with are DNA encoded, therefore allowing no person apart from the rightful wielder of the gun to use it. This would make streets safer and reduce the amount of violent crime. If a member of the armed forces or police was discovered to be misusing his/her gun, then they would be removed and after a certain period, or after regaining trust, or if the gun is needed, to have the gun issued back to them.

It should be illegal to put people in the position where they need to work to eat. If governments were force to focus on labour and resources instead of money social justice and freedom would be a birthright and not just for the priveledged. Put basic needs first and we can all retire at 26. Money IS the root of all evil. This is not religous mumbo jumbo, it is the truth. Freedom for all. This also includes religous oppression.

If a UN resolution mandates the creation of an enforcement "force", it's a UN Army regardless of who funds them or where they live.

The same ruling applies to any request for "Peacekeepers" to be supplied and commanded by national armies. It's not the chain of command or the nationality of the soldiers that matters - it's the UN mandate.



Besides, it's not like I needed to find an excuse to delete that one. It was just amusing to have so convenient an excuse.

Proposed by: Galactic Peace

Description: Friends: I have been a member of the west pacific for a long time now, and i have been violently distressed on one particular subject. Spam. Recruitment posters. These are the plague of the regions. People who have just started up a new region, and are trying to steal the citizens of ancient ones. It is distressing to look at, and they are there all the time, and interrupt with talks between other nations. If this proposal is turned into a resolution, then you will be voting to ban all people who go round other regions asking for people to go to the new and improved funland etc. We must stop this at once, and if all nations vote for this, then people will start to enjoy the new, spam free NationStates as never before. So, once again, i plead with you to vote for this proposal, and destroy the spam.I'm not sure what the exact rule, metagaming I think, but I know that this is illegal.

Forcing moderator action.....acknowledging an RMB......sounds like metagaming to me.

Upon passage of this resolution, all suffrage of women must cease in every member nation.

HAVEN'T THEY SUFFRED ENOUGH?!I have to wonder if the author realizes that there are multiple meanings for suffrage.

I wish to change this.
This bill proposes that any UN resolution which passes or fails by less than 500 votes, may be brought to the regions themselves. If it is found that 3/4 of the UN population in a particular region is against the particular decision, it may be overturned in that particular region.

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Uranium Mining
Proposed by: [removed]

Description: This is a plan to introduce a concept called Continental Air Filter (C.A.F.) to improve the air quality of every nation. A CAF is essentially a massive air filter built in the middle of a continent, that soaks in all air pollution and spreads pure air to all people of that continent. Here are the benefits of them

1. By cleaning the air of all continents, people will be healthier.
2. Acid rain will decrease.
3. The matinence and operation of these massive filters will create millions of jobs worldwide.

The CAFs will power themselves, running on polluted air, not needing electricity or any other power supply.

However, if a CAF is installed on your continent, Uranium Mining will take a severe blow. Very sensitive technology is inside these machines, and a high uranium concentration could interfere with a CAF cause the entire devise to explode.

So, in conclusion, I urge all of you to trade the small cost of Uranium for the large benefit of more pure air in the future.I'm at a loss. Honestly. Mind-boggling.

And I can't help but read 'CAF' as Custom Avatar Form... >_>

Description: Recognizing that sovereign states must determine their own destiny and rule on their own positions regarding sensitive matters no nation or organization shall violate this right with the express consent of that nation.

In order to enforce this the following standards will be assiduously applied:

1. nations will not be required to spend money or alter their laws on internal matters by any other nation or entity

2. the United Nations will seek, foremost, to represent and protect the interests of its member states

3. in cases where individual human rights are at issue the UN will seek to balance the need for national sovereignty with the need for human freedom

4. Towards this end the UN will appoint a committee to write a proposed international bill of rights which must be approved by 2/3rds of all member nations If only this were legal. *sigh*

The Commonwealth of Upadaria
Received: 4 hours ago Greetings,

I sincerely request that all delegates oppose the latest UN resolution on euthanasia.

Whatever your views, if you allow that the UN can or should make such resolutions you will find yourself the victim at some point. Imagine a socialist nation being forced to accept capitalism or a capitalist nation being forced to accept socialism.

The moderators refuse to allow for a resolution limiting UN power, but I humbly suggest we must exercise restraint. If the UN can legislate everything then why do we have nation states or this game really about whoever wants to rule the world with an iron first need only get UN Votes? Such a vision is evil and must be opposed.

Please oppose this evil resolution and urge others to do the same. If they are for or against this let them make that choice in their own nation.

Bill C
Regent of Upadaria

What humors me the most is he's more worried about FUTURE proposals rather than the one that's at vote now, as proven by the fact that he chooses TG campaign AFTER he's submitted his vote.

On a side note, when I'm comparing notes with others, I seem to be finding myself removed from a lot of the counter campaigns these days. How interesting.

You know I am not perfect, I do not know how everything works here, but the comments I see here are totally without merit or kindness,

We are human beings, well some of us.

In the thread on that blasted proposal I explained that I could nto access the forums, and the only way I had to communicate was with "silly" proposals.

The fact that you speak such words about me only reveals how rude and obnocious you are.

I apologize if I used the wrong mechanism for deailing with the metirc issue, as I said I am trying to figure out how things are run here,

You will kindly treat me with respect and I am sure I can return the favor.

As for my "tg" campaign, why are you poking fun at the fact that I initiated it after my vote was cast?

I do not see the problem there.

I can assure you of this, if you want a hostile relationship with me I will be happy to return the favor but I prefer to be trated with respect as I am sure you do.

The guy would have to have a brain to be able to read the rules. I have proof he's missing one:

tell me what you mean here? You seem to suggest that I cannot or should not do a TG campaign after I submittt my vote. Why is this?

You are extremnely rude and immature for someone who pretends to be all knowing.

If you want respect, stop calling people fascists just because your side isn't winning.

If you want respect, don't pollute the already overcluttered (as evident by 181 pages of silly proposals collected thus far) with crap.

If you want respect, try arguing with logic instead of resorting to bitching about how everyone else sucks because you don't share their opinion.

Why in the hell should we respect you if all you do is spout of bullcrap? I've never seen you say anything reasonable.

I am a former member because the mdoerators here are one worlders too.

I came in here to explain my position, and I was instulted and then banned.

I clearly said I knew that one of the proposal was illegal and was merely trying to make a point.

Right and they're using Area 51 as their secret headquarters.:rolleyes:

Well, when people say the UN has limitless power, that makes them fascists.

Not really. When people say the UN (in this game) has limitless power, they're merely stating a fact. Personally, I think the UN butts into national affairs way too much, but they certainly DO have the power to do so.

Alright, I'm going to be civil in this post.

Also, warning: FL MFLP

1) Drop the namecalling.
2) Some corrective definitions
fas·cist Audio pronunciation of "fascist" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fshst)
n.

1. often Fascist An advocate or adherent of fascism.
2. A reactionary or dictatorial person.


We are not reactionary and seeing as many of us are elected members that wield our power through the UN by getting people to vote on something means we aren't really dictators either. It's really hard to argue you have dictators when you have 30,000 members controlling up to 60,000 votes.

fas·cism Audio pronunciation of "fascism" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fshzm)
n.

1. often Fascism
1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.


I've already noted the lack of dictator, opposition members that we don't censor include Flibbliettes who's laughed at you here, Texan Hotrodders, Gruenberg, Omigodtheykilledkenny, Cluichstan and hundreds of people that aren't members but continuously advocate for a UN that wields less power and respects national sovereignty - just like you. So why do we take exception to you? Well, when you say things such as:

wage relentless war against its sponsor.

ANY nation that thinks it can or should decide this issue for the people of Upadaria is a fascist enemy

Such a vision is evil and must be opposed.

we are less inclined to treat you as our equal.

On a side note, Fascism is generally considered to be right of conservatism on the political scale. Calling us socialists and fasicists simultaneously is rather....oxymoronic.

We have another definition we need to clear up:

e·lit·ism or é·lit·ism Audio pronunciation of "elitist" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-ltzm, -l-)
n.

1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.
2.
1. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
2. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.


While I certainly am an elitist, I have not, in any of my discussions with you, actually displayed it. Norderia is not an elitist, Norderia is a person with a broken temperature control. In this discussion, he's far from the only one. The moderators are not elitists, they're just doing their jobs

Elitism isn't a decision of "my way is better than your way". You're thinking of arrogance. Elitism is "I have more of a right to rule than you do"

3)I do, however, demand a formal apology for you insult.

This thread I use more as a humor mechanism than anything else. Most newbies don't visit this thread when they're checking out the official topic so I prefer to extend the amount of humor I can get out of it. Obviously, in this case, I was wrong and I do, indeed, owe you an apology. I'm sorry, I've only inflamed the situation further through such actions. I do not, however, apologize for my statements made in my TGs to you. While this one is insulting your character, the others were an indication of my patience with you. I do, however, recommend that you take them to heart because there is a lot of worthy information in there, which I will go over in here

4) tell me what you mean here? You seem to suggest that I cannot or should not do a TG campaign after I submittt my vote. Why is this?

No, not your vote. You submitted multiple proposals (illegal, mind you) about limiting the UN's power rather than campaigning against the proposal at vote. The proposal at vote isn't going anywhere and passed resolutions aren't nullified by future ones without a repeal. It would have been better to start working through the TG campaign to try and have this proposal defeated than it is to worry about non-existant future proposals that might be coming down the tube. Considering we get a decent proposal to quarom, on average, just slightly better than one every 5 days, I would say the necessity of your prioritizing your blockers was rather foolish.

5) If you want to learn the rules, ask. However, instead of asking to learn the rules or even trying to determine what they are, you instead were pissed off about biased moderators and fascist liberals. The moderators are not biased; The Most Glorious Hack and Frisbeeteria, who are, respectively, considered #1 and #2 most active within the UN of the moderators, can both be quoted as being pro-National Sovereignty. If you spent more time getting to know them, you'd discover that Hack is a conservative and while I haven't seen his conservative side, I've heard that Fris is a registered Republican. Kind of disproves your bias theories.

6) If the UN can legislate everything then why do we have nation states or this game really about whoever wants to rule the world with an iron first need only get UN Votes?

It is actually rather interesting that this issue was brought up twice over ISD, but I think I've seen it once over my time here (which has now surpassed a year). I feel that my other post does a better job of speaking for me.


We get these things for a reason, the whole point of nationstates is self-determination..

No, the whole point of Nationstates is to simulate a nation and to have a nice political game. Self-determination is only one of the many aspects of NationStates. If you want Self-determination, you really should look at the resign button a bit more often. When Max says you can't ignore resolutions and when the mods say the UN was meant to interfere, you can't really argue that UN members have self-determination left. Bogus argument.



Exactly. So you have a choice to consider - do you wish to be able to determine your fate, be God of your own little realm and your 1024X768 castle of NS playing glory, or do you want to play with the big boys and sometimes have to follow how they play the game, so long as they play within the rules.

[QUOTE]These UN issues should have a scope well above and beyond the little ones we get, instead of just saying "I always pick this option, and now all of you will too!"

Like what? What do you think we should look at instead?

If it makes you feel better, I've got one of, if not, the highest post totals in favor of this proposal since it first was made public and I haven't looked at issues in a year. This isn't about making you conform with my issues. This is about looking beyond my 1024X768 screen and saying "let's actually play a political game where I start duking it out with fellow politicians about issues that matter to me or them or whatever"

You don't want to play that game? Fine. You can go back to your 1024X768 little world and enjoy yourself and ignore the UN. If you're here because you want to be an invader/defender, go for it and ignore the UN. If you want to be the sole person that decides the fate of your nation, fine, leave the UN. If you want to actually play a game with us, then start debating the issue based upon what you believe rather than bitching about how you can't play the game your way. This is a multiplayer game, not your playpen. Get over yourself.

You may or may not agree with the UN's actions, but when we start talking about purpose of the game, don't suggest that the empowerment the game gives you means the UN should stop trying to infringe upon it.

I enjoy the debates of NatSov vs IntFed. I enjoy debates about what we should turn the UN into. I dislike the debates where people treat National Sovereignty as their god-given right and I treat the comments with minimal respect when I see them - snipping at such members as Omigodtheykilledkenny and Ausserland who I have a lot of respect for. Especially Ausserland.

7) You know I am not perfect, I do not know how everything works here, but the comments I see here are totally without merit or kindness,

When you treat others without merit or kindness and every single thing you've said is without merit or kindness, you will get none in return. It wasn't until you came to this thread and saw how little respect you were being granted that you showed any level of merit, and kindness is still a ways away.

8) Limitless power: the only thing that is limiting what the UN can and cannot vote upon is the proposal rules and our own imaginations. You act as if the UN cannot or does not have the power to infringe upon your nation's laws, but the reality is that by submitting yourself to the UN as a member, you have given us that right. Whether we should exercise that right or not, that is up for debate and I do, indeed, look forward to an intelligent debate on that matter. However the UN is not limited from those areas by any rules set that it has passed. There is a belief that the UN's entire point was to infringe upon nations. Whether this belief is true or not is certainly up for debate, but it is worth thinking about, and when one considers how Max Barry designed the UN, one can certainly see how that conclusion could be arrived at. One cannot be a fascist or, really, anything by stating a fact. One can be, perhaps, if it were an opinion, but I wasn't giving you an opinion there.

9) The moderators are not one worlders. Ban socialism falls under the "Ideological ban" violation, proposals that do nothing but limit the UN's power fall under the "wrong category" violation due to there is no "National Sovereignty" category, and obviously repeals can only do one thing, repeal a resolution.

You have every right to disagree and submit questions about the rules. However, that doesn't mean you get to break them. It certainly doesn't mean the moderators are biased. The proposal rules are available for everyone to read. Yes, the running belief is that National Sovereignty should be exercise through restraint and repeals, but that is something to deal with the community. I responded with my opinons about National Sovereignty. I do believe it's the UN's right to infringe upon nations. I will fight resolutions based upon beliefs about the topic rather than belief that it is infringing upon National Sovereignty. I actually don't believe nations in the UN have any more sovereignty than Quebec. I accept the risk that I will suffer to conservative beliefs in the future - though I note that whether we do or do not respect their sovereignty now gives us no proof they will respect ours in the future (and I think we see that in the US now, but that's beside the point)

10) The Conservative Government in Canada right now suffered heavily because people feared the party. They feared (and, actually, many still do) what Steve Harper would do. The reason is is that his backbenchers are some of a growing trend in this world - foaming-at-the-mouth conservatives. These are people that express their views with a venom in their voice, and act as if anyone who thinks differently to be unhuman. Terms such as fascist, morons, assholes, etc, etc, etc are tossed around fairly regularly by these peoples - words inspired to incite emotion in the community around them.

They are generally disliked and often do more damage to the parties they work with than they help.

On these forums, they are ridiculed and dismissed out of hand.

Why do I bring this up? Because you are, so far, acting like one. They are often seen as the bottom of society and shunned just as quickly. If you want to debate, do so. However, if you want to foam at the mouth, you will find little interest in treating you with respect here. They are not welcome on these forums.

Ooh boy, even with the mods reducing the list to two pages there still are some gems :D

First of all, thank you Forgottenlord, for that post. Civility at length is exactly what was needed, and I'm always glad when you step up.

The ITA connects the wealthy nation to trade with a nation in need. The host nation shall aid the dependent nation's economy. This can lead to;
Higher/better education rates
Encourage more business opportunities
Decrease poverty
Higher safety standards
Better road conditions
Better utilities
Greater pay
As the host nation aids the dependent nation, the UN shall reimburse 25% of the "host" nation's expenses straight from government funds. More will be explained in articles II.

II-UN Code (Rules)

1.-Members cannot in any way take advantage of the ITA for military or economy purposes. For example, the host nation cannot use the dependent nation's land to test missiles, establish militarized bases, or for farming land. Consequences: Removal from ITA, up to $1,200,000 fine, and/or complete removal from the UN.

2.-Members cannot at any time cut off trade from the dependent nation, unless they are kicked off/or resign from the UN, are removed directly from the ITA, or the dependent nation requests it. Any threats made to the dependent nation to request it will: Be removed from ITA, or fined up to $200,000.

3.-Trading can only be commenced by sea, unless the dependent nation has no access to a body of water connected to the host nation. Otherwise, a railway will be constructed between the two countries' industrial centers. Only industrial cargo can be transported. Any waste/passengers/none industrial cargo will result in $300,000.

4.-ITA transports must be white and have the Black Eagle logo imprinted on the side, or it is not legal. If the transport must enter non-member waters, the host nation cannot pass through until they meet their demands.

5.-When the dependent nation meets the ITA standards, the host nation will be assigned to a new nation. That nation still may continue trading with the newly remodeled nation.

6.-Non-members of ITA in the UN will pay off 25% of the host nation's expenses. Any result of late or no pay, will result in fines up to $500,000.

III-Standards

These are the standards for the dependent nation before they can be dismissed from the ITA. Here is the list of standards:
% of High School Graduates: %78
% of Industrial Jobs Compared to Population: %60
Crime Rate (1-100; 1 being best): 32
ITA Economy Score: 4550
ITA Trading Score: 3443
% of Home-owners in Population: %90
% of Employed Population: %75
Average Household Income: $30,000

IV-Closing

Proposed by: Timbus Almighty

Description: Fly tipping must stop!!
I propose a Fly tipping police be introduced to stop this from happening.
It ruins the environment and the landscape.Illegal, introduces police force, and incidentally what is fly tipping? I know what cow tipping it but I've never heard of fly tippping.

incidentally what is fly tipping? I know what cow tipping it but I've never heard of fly tippping.

Well, if it's anything like cow tipping, it must require extraordinary skill and patience.

If it's not, we have to ask the question, what service do flies provide that requires that they be tipped? Is 15% adequate?

If a fly is tipped, is it reffered to as "down"? Or "open"?

These questions need to be asked.

Illegal, branded in triplicate.

Illegal, introduces police force, and incidentally what is fly tipping? I know what cow tipping it but I've never heard of fly tippping.

'fly tipping' is the process of dumping rubbish, often on a fairly large scale, at unauthorised locations (for example by the roadside, or out in the country): I presume that there's a connection to the term "doing [whatever] 'on the fly'..."

I prefer Krankor's answer.

Proposed by: Kapsilan

Description: UN Resolution #24: Metric System (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This proposal brings a real-world argument into NationStates. Therefore, it is a violation of United Nations rules.Illegal arguement. Also anyone else notice that apparently the Metric System resolution has a space after system in the title.

Also anyone else notice that apparently the Metric System resolution has a space after system in the title.
Yes, and it's genius!

Just think about it, by sneaking in that space (or a handful of spaces) one could pass a resolution that is possibly twice as difficult to repeal because to anyone else it will appear that the Repeal (with quotes) and not the Resolution (without quotes) will have the grammar error.

It's a conspiracy I tell you!

Resolution: #26


Proposed by: The Iron Angel

Description: UN Resolution #26: The Universal Bill of Rights (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Addressing: the right of nation's to control their populace

Recognizing: the fact many nations world wide disagree with the US and the US’s values. Since this is a basic copy of the US Constitution’s first Amendment, the Bill of Rights, it is a controversial issue that cannot, and should not, be enforced world wide.

When discussing Human Rights what is the right of the humans running a nation. Governments should have the right to run their populace in the way they see fit, justly or injustly, this is an area where the UN should not intercede.

Governments world wide should have the capability to set their own bill of rights, their own required religion, there own methods of law enforcement, and their own right to exploit the populace the way they see fit.

According to Resolution #49Article 1
§ Every UN Member State has the right to independence and hence to exercise freely, without dictation by any other NationState, all its legal powers, including the choice of its own form of government.

Article 2
§ Every UN Member State has the right to exercise jurisdiction over its territory and over all persons and things therein, subject to the immunities recognized by international law.

According to this document it is against UN policy to force nations to part take in a “Universal Bill of Rights”

I and nation formally request that for the sake of international freedom this Resolution be repealed.

Proposed by: Spudknuckle

Description: The proposal to ban circumcision is a tricky one but one which needs to be decided.

Aside from when necessary for medical reasons, the act of circumcision is cruel and barbaric. There are also those males who seem to find the need to increase the "appearance" in size of their man-hoods by chopping a bit off the end!!

1. Circumcision should be outlawed for all but medical reasons

2. Any male found attempting to self-circumcise should be disciplined via the nations legal system

3. All pornography from nations with a stance for circumcision should not be allowed.

4. Nudist beaches and resorts should display anti-circumsision sign-age and eject any patron without his foreskin from the area immediately

5. Any practitioner found to be performing female circumcision will be put to trial, with the punishment of death or maximum sentence of incarceration dependent on the nations stance.

6. Any practitioner found to be performing male circumcision
will be put to trial, with the punishment equivalent to Previous Bodily Harm or Gross Assault.http://bak42.notworksafe.com/images/NationStates/UNCards/notagain.JPG

Proposed by: F-Carthage III

Description: The United nations is a massive organization who forces laws on member nations. The United Nations passes laws that are not to the liking of a large number of nations. Soverign nations must have the right to rule their nation any way they wish the UN can not interfer. It is undeniable that the Unitedd Nations is slanted in one direction so the rights of many member nations are being violated. This proposal does the following.

1. Declares all UN resolutions null and void.

2. Ends the proposal making proccess.

The status of being in the United Nations should be kept to enhance the game but the United Nations itself must be disbanned.:rolleyes:

The status of being in the United Nations should be kept to enhance the game but the United Nations itself must be disbanned.

Repeal Fossil Fuel Reducton
A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation
Proposed by: The Free Canadian West

Description: Description: UN Resolution #126: Fossil Fuel Reduction Act shall be struck down and rendered null and void.

Arguement: The United Nations

COMMENDING- The good environmental intentions of resolution #126, is nonetheless;

NOTING: That the 2% yearly reduction rate or fossil fuel consumption, is not yet feasible due to the fact that a massively growing global economy is increasing the requirements for fossil fuels each day. Even with new conversions to renewable energy sources, the growth in consumption is merely offset, but not turned into a net reduction.

NOTING: That the eventual target of reduction by 90% of ceiling consumption rate, down to 10% of current values is drastic, unrealistic, and unneccesary.

NOTING: That many "fossil fuels" are not only used for energy but for other industrial purposes, I.E. Coal for the carbon in steel and petroluem for plastic making and petrochemicals, and that currently no technolgy exists to use other substances for these purposes, and that such industry would almost certainly be necessary for the development of clean energy, and that resolution 126 does not state whether such uses are included in "consumption"

CONCERNED: That sancations against non-complying nations are extreme, unjust, and uncalled for.

GRAVELY CONCERNED: Of the catastrophic economic impact that implementation of Resolution #126, and a 90% worldwide reduction in demand for fossil fuels would have on nations whose only viable industries are fossil fuel extraction such as coal mining and oil drilling, and who have no other significant natural resources other than fossil fuels.

CONSIDERING: The poverty, misery, famine, depression and other tribulations those nations would face under this resolution

CITING: Recent technological developments in fossil fueled energy generation that enable coal to be burned cleaner than even natural gas was in the past.

CITING: Current proven, probable, measured, and indicated reserves of fossil fuels in the world, that are sufficient to likely last hundreds of years.

BELIEVING: That through the natural course of economic/technological growth and change, that a worldwide reduction in fossil fuel consumption will eventually occur anyways.

Repeals Resolution #126

Wrong Category! you can't repeal a resolution without using the repeal form.

Repeal "BioRights Declaration"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #56
Proposed by: Kaplechistan

Description: UN Resolution #56: BioRights Declaration (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: A clone should have no rights, yet they do. A clone should not be created yet they are. Those who are born naturally are said to have soul and a conscious, what about these so called clones. Do they have a conscious, do they even have a soul. A clone can be made at any age, what is made to believe that they do. A clone created just yesterday, looks like it is at the age of 35 yet it knows nothing of life. Clones should not have rights nor should they even be created for they know nothing of life nor do they have a conscious or a soul.


Other than making no sense, I can't find anything "illegal" with this proposal, although perhaps it could be removed for not being worthy of the UN's consideration, and/or stupidity. At least s/he used the Repeal form! :p

Pretty big gap in the understanding of how cloning works....

I think this person here is picturing a Monkey with Four Asses, and a machine that duplicates people...

Repeal "Individual Self-Determination"
Proposed by: Versalia

Description: UN Resolution #164: Individual Self-Determination (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The esteemed members of the United Nations should note that "individual self determination" is Euthanasia by the back door.

Members should note that:
a) The title is grossly misleading.
b) The opinions of individual nations are byepassed
c) The syntax - especially in clause three - allows suicide on demand, without a criterion of terminal illness.
d) No provision is made to prevent corruption/malpractice
e) The resolution forces a controversial measure upon nations - indeed, "Self Determination" means that people should have the right to rule themselves; if the author is concerned with self determination, surely s/he should allow nations to make up their own minds on this matter.
Ok, this is not actually silly. But is it wrong that I find the bolded phrase...strangely arousing?

Laws of ownership

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Dooky Munchers n terds

Description: NOTING that the greatest value in intellectual terds is the creative or investigative straining used to create it, not the medium on which it is demonstrated or displayed,

BELIEVING that creators of intellectual terds should be able to have control over the distribution and display of their work,

NOTING that many nations already have copyright laws in place, but these laws can vary immensely and do not apply to terds,

AFFIRMING that an international convention on copyrights would guarantee copyright owners control over their terds, and thus

CONCLUDING that an international convention on copyrights would give strainers an incentive to market their work both internationally and nationally, improving economies through increased terd trade,

1. DEFINES, for the purpose of this resolution:
a. "intellectual terds" as any work of mainly physical value that is of original creatorship and is fixed in a tangible expressive medium;
b. "copyright law" as law which grants exclusive property rights to the creator of a particular form of intellectual terds and provides protection to those rights;
c. "fair use" as a use or reproduction of intellectual terds in educational institutions for educational purposes, for private/personal use, for use in critical articles or reviews, or for parodies, provided that such use does not excessively infringe on the rights and profits of the copyright holder;
d. “legal entity” as a sentient being or corporation;

2. DECLARES that the copyright law of each nation shall apply to the distribution, demonstration, expression, and use of intellectual terds in that nation, regardless of where the work was originally created or the citizenship of the strainer;

3. MANDATES that national copyright law must provide at least as much protection as the following:
a. No legal entity or government may print, display, demonstrate, reproduce, or store in an electronic system any intellectual terd without the consent of the copyright holder for a period extending until at least thirty years after the death of the srainer, or, in the case of a corporation originating the copyright, at least sixty-five years after the work was placed in tangible form, except under the exceptions for fair use;
b. National copyright law must not discriminate in favor of domestic works;
c. Except as provided in this clause, application of copyrights must take place automatically at the time that the work was first placed in tangible form, with no statutory formalities required for protection. Nations may impose additional requirements for securing copyright, but these may apply only to terds created within that nation by its own citizens;

4. DECLARES that copyright holders may license use of intellectual terds to any or all legal entities under any terms they desire, but that all people reserve the rights to use the work under the pertinent national copyright law;

5. DECLARES that copyright holders may, if they wish, put their work into the public domain, at which time it is free for anyone to use for any purpose, with or without attribution;

6. DECLARES that copyrights may be held by any person or legal entity, and may be transfered or sold, but that the original strainer of the work must always have rights to use his work.
