Proposed by: Teh Netherlands

Description: Open source software is software of which the authors allow other people to view, edit and redistribute the source of the software.

UN governments should force their public sector to adopt open source software wherever possible. Not only will this mostly be cheaper, but will also make the government as a whole more open to general public.

By using open source software, governments also cannot and won't favour one company over the other, as all companies that want to can contribute which, in turn, will be beneficial to the governments again who get to use better software.

Therefore all governments should adopt open source software in at least 50% of their public sector within one year, and have switched completely in three years.Why is it any of the UN's business what kind of software a nation's public sector uses.

Decision: Legalize


Proposed by: NEw Rolland

Description: Since modern times Cannabis has been outlawed particularly because it is said to cause bodily harm, yet if if u take a look at Nationstate statistics you can clearly see that this is not true at all. World Wide, 4.9 million people die from tobacco and 1.8 million deaths are attributed to alcohol use while 0 are a result of Cannabis. Once legalized Cannabis will be regulated and controlled like tobacco and alcohol, the legalization will also illiminate the crime and black market that surrounds Cannabis.

Under the Cannabis Act:

1. Cannabis shall be legalized and de-criminalized for personal and industrial use.

2. The sale and distribution of Cannabis on a personal and or corporate scale is legal as long as the seller and or distributor is registered and approved by the CSDA

3.The CSDA, Cannabis Sale and Distribution Agency is founded to regulate and monitor the sale and distribution of Cannabis. All sellers and Distributors must register and be approved by the CSDA to legally be able to sell or distribute Cannabis.

4. Persons of any UN nation may cultivate up to 10 acres of Cannabis for personal use or sale. Look, a nation's pulled stats out of their ass, either that or those stats are from RL, but it can't be that as that would be illegal.

Proposed by: Ttai aSuhl

Description: RECOGNIZING that the United Nations does not formally endorse any single religion over any other,

FURTHER RECOGNIZING that the United Nations does not formally endorse the practice of religion over the non-practice of religion,

NOTING that the term "marriage" and its translated equivalents possess strong religious connotations in many faiths,

FURTHER NOTING that not all religions possess an exact equivalent to "marriage" in their doctrines,

FURTHER RECOGNIZING that member nations possess the sovereign right to legally recognize the union of two individuals under their own laws and the laws of other nations,

FURTHER NOTING that official recognition of the union of two individuals by a religious body is not a universal requirement of member nations for legal recognition of the same,

PROCLAIMS that as concerns United Nations resolutions

(1) The terms "marriage" and "civil marriage" shall be formally omitted from the language of the law.

(2) All previous and future instances in United Nations resolutions where the above noted terms occur shall be read as the term "civil union."

FURTHER PROCLAIMS that as concerns United Nations resolutions

(1) The terms "same-sex marriage" and "gay marriage" shall be formally omitted from the language of the law.

(2) All previous and future instances in United Nations resolutions where the above noted terms occur shall be read as referring to "civil union rights extended to the union of individuals of the same sex."

FURTHER PROCLAIMS that this resolution shall recognize the right of a member nation to define its own legal language as that nation sees fit, and that this resolution does not apply to the internal laws of member nations.I'm thinking that this is illegal, but I'm not sure which rule in particular.

This seems to make new legislation in a repeal. Furthermore:
1. The UN does not and cannot have Peacekeepers.
2. Duplication of UN Resolution #150, "UN Demining Survey".not to mention "barder" defense.

Stop gun crime

Maybe you should just have a separate thread, called "Gun Control is silly".

Anyway, this thread is probably the best place to remind the mods that, tomorrow, when the repeal passes, this other one (http://nationstates.net/page=UN_proposal1/match=marriage) should be deleted.

I'm thinking that this is illegal, but I'm not sure which rule in particular.This line, maybe?
(2) All previous and future instances in United Nations resolutions where the above noted terms occur shall be read as the term "civil union."
Amending unspecified prior resolutions and preventing future, possibly unrelated resolutions from using specific words? Yeah, that's illegal.

Maybe you should just have a separate thread, called "Gun Control is silly".Agreed. James_xenoland, you're effectively spamming. How about letting it rest.

Anyway, this thread is probably the best place to remind the mods that, tomorrow, when the repeal passes, this other one (http://nationstates.net/page=UN_proposal1/match=marriage) should be deleted.So noted. Not that we need to hurry or anything.

Definition of Aid

A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Edelfen

Description: It has become necessary, as we look back on all nations that have been engaged in a war or blotted by an unforeseeable incident that lowered the standards of living, that we must define and implement an aid system that will be voluntary unless the situation is so dire as to require the support of all U.N. Nations. In order to define aid, we must make note that aid refers to both military aid and economic aid. All nations, should this agreement be passed, will be bound by the rules listed below.

I) Definition of Aid

A) Definition of Economic Aid

1)The Definition of Economic Aid as it concerns the U.N. and it's members, refers to the helping of a nation that has become so affected by any one economical issue so as to be unable to help itself economically. Economic is defined as anything having to do with that nation's citizens. It is not meant to be defined as any small concern any nation may have about their economy.

B) Definition of Military Aid

1) The Definition of Military Aid as it applies to the U.N. and it's members is the helping of any nation that has become so occupied by one military issue as to be unable to defend itself. Military is defined as any army resource. Again, this does not mean every small military problem a nation may have.

II) Precepts of Economic Aid

A) Limits and Requirements

1) If the U.N. so decides that a nation is in need of economic aid, then all members are asked to send as much aid as possible without destabilizing their own economic stability. No nation may be forced to destabilize their own economic stability; that nation however can freely choose to do so.

III) Precepts of Military Aid

A) Limits and Requirements

1) If the U.N. so decides that a nation is in need of military aid, each member is asked to give as much aid as possible without harming their ability to defend their borders. No nation may be forced to send more military aid then is necessary, or so much that it leaves their borders undefended; that nation may choose to do so freely however.

B) When dealing with two U.N. member nations

1) The U.N. must pass a bill that states whether the attacking nation was justified in it's action, if it is found to be justified, then all members are asked to send military aid as long as it does not lessen their ability to defend their borders. No nation may be forced to give aid in these circumstances, all nations have the right to request neutrality.

2) If the attacking nation is seen as unlawful in it's attack, then it should be immediately expelled from the U.N. All nations are then asked to send aid to the nation being attacked, however, as before, no nation may be forced to and all nations have the right to request neutrality.

IV) When dealing with any of the above

1) All situations above are voluntary unless the U.N. passes a bill that requires all nations to do as the aforementioned rules state.

V) Special Cases

1) It might be one day, that a nation needs aid and no nation in U.N. is capable of providing aid without the aforementioned rules being broken, this is why it is proposed that any nation with extra supplies should send them to the U.N. to put in storage for when a situation such as the one mentioned occurs. At any one time the U.N. may have no more than ten-thousand military units, comprised of both naval, air, and land units, and ten-thousand units, defined as any crate of any supply, of economic aid.

This is not here for being silly, as it is very well written, and I like it. Shame it mentions expelling nations from the UN in section B) 2. Though it does only say the nations "should" be expelled, not that they must be. Is that vagueness enough to save it?


UN Members' Unity Act

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.


Category: Global Disarmament


Strength: Strong

Description: United Nations are peaceful organization of peaceful and democratic states that shares common interests of Stability, Integrity, Safety, Human Rights and Mutual Co-operation and Aid,
THEREFORE,

United Nations' member states should not enter the wars, aggression, or any kind of hostility, so every UN-state must scrap nuclear weapon completely and conventional weapon on defense minimum.

HOWEVER,
if any UN-state is under attack, the other states will assist her diplomaticaly, if possible, and at the and the entire UN shall attack the aggressor, isolate him, interrupt every relation with them, so the aggresor-state should cease to egsist, or stop the war.

EVERY TIME when a new Member is joining to UN, the world shall be one step closer to Everlasting Peace. Co-operation must be first, war-engaging the last thing UN should do in effort to complete its mission.

Illegal. Contradicts res 109.

Is that vagueness enough to save it?Doubt it.

It's one of those which would have benefitted from being discussed here first.

I've just noticed at the end it mentions the UN having military units too. If the problems with legality were fixed, and that wouldn't be hard to do, it would make an excellent proposal.

I've just noticed at the end it mentions the UN having military units too. If the problems with legality were fixed, and that wouldn't be hard to do, it would make an excellent proposal.I'm too nice....TG to author:
Hello there,

Having seen your proposal "Definition of Aid" I wished to write to inform you that it may well be deleted for a few violations of the rules.

Don't be disheartened - it is unlikely that a recently founded nation such as yourself would be aware of the myriad of rules and your proposal has far more merit than many of the others submitted.

I think there is scope for a resolution similar to your proposal, and there are nations (such as myself) who would be interested in assisting you in drafting a resolution that's legal, and supply you with support on resolution writing and getting your proposal to quorum.

If you are interested, please join us on the United Nations forums which you can find by clicking on the forums button on the left hand side.

If you choose not to take this proposal any further, we wish you well in future endeavours.

Regards,
Hirota

I'd like to know if the last sentence of 'Repeal "Hearing Imapired Aid Act"' makes it illegal or not (before I spend more time telegramming delegates about it :rolleyes: ).

The cost to provide mandatory skilled interpreters to all hearing impaired students in public schools and also to outfit all libraries, museums, theaters, malls, and other public buildings will create too much of a tax burden for everyday citizens. The decision to provide these type of services should be a choice by each member nation.

Also, the requirement to have an audiologist on staff at every hospital will raise the cost of health care for the average citizen. Changing the requirement to have an audiologist on call serving a number of different hospitals would better serve the average citizen.

I'd like to know if the last sentence of 'Repeal "Hearing Imapired Aid Act"' makes it illegal or not (before I spend more time telegramming delegates about it :rolleyes: ).Quite possibly. It certainly suggests legislation.

I don't think that's illegal. All it's doing is suggesting a better way of doing it. That's exactly the sort of argument a repeal surely has to make.

To clarify: if it said "we should change the requirement", maybe it'd be illegal; if it said "the requirement is to be changed", then yes. As it is, it seems legal.

Resolution: #73


Proposed by: Ondalle

Description: UN Resolution #73: Habeas Corpus (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZING the importance of habeas corpus to the basic rights of many citizens;

NOTING that nations exist which are not in favor of supporting this ideal;

FURTHER OBSERVING that the standing resolution does not allow for full suspension of habeas corpus during times of war or national crisis, when such power would often be deemed necessary;

AWARE that the time period required of those wishing to file charges is too short and ineffective when the filer of charges is in fear of the suspect, such as in cases of assault, rape, or other violent crimes;

PROPOSES the following:

1. Strike from the record Resolution #73, "Habeas Corpus", and replace it with the following rights in regard to habeas corpus:

2. I. ALLOWING any nation that feels the need to suspend habeas corpus the right to do so indefinitely;

II. PERMITTING these nations to determine how and when to do so in any manner, including that of a popular vote;

III. GRANTING the nations who wish to uphold habeas corpus the full and unlimited power to do so;

IV. NON-INTERFERENCE in any UN member state by the UN regarding any laws or practices relating to habeas corpus unless explicitly requested to do so by the member state.

V. EXCEPTING prisoners of war from habeas corpus, in which case other laws prevail over these practices.Illegal, repeals cannot introduce new legislation.

Category: International Security


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Kryobaijan

Description: Compromised security aboard commercial aircraft poses a dire threat to international safety. Hijackings endanger both the passengers/crew on board the plane, and can have disastrous outcomes should the plane itself be used as a weapon upon arrival at the aircraft's destination.
Malicious entities such as terrorists have in the past and will continue in the future to bypass security screening procedures at airports. Thus, it becomes necessary for further actions to be taken to ensure the safety of the skies.

Article I: All international commercial flights on which the number of passengers is equal to or greater than the number of crew members shall be required to have at least two (2) plainclothes security personnel (hereafter AIR MARSHALLS) on board.

Article II: Efforts shall be made to maintain the anonymity of all AIR MARSHALLS. They should wear no uniform indicative of their position.

Article III: In the event of a hijacking, all AIR MARSHALLS must perform the tasks necessary to ensure the security of the aircraft. To this end, all AIR MARSHALLS shall have extensive training as police, as well as special training with disarming explosives and the operation of the aircraft.

Article IV: All AIR MARSHALLS shall be armed. Their armament shall consist of an appropriate handgun that is concealed. The bullets used shall be jacketed hollow point rounds so that collateral damage is minimized the fuselage of the aircraft is not damaged in the event of a firefight.

Article V: It is the responsibility the flight's nation of origin to provide the aircraft with such AIR MARSHALLS. An aircraft shall not be allowed to depart without the requisite number of AIR MARSHALLS on board.

Article VI: The appropriate authority (i.e. a nation's organization for airspace regulation) shall be granted the powers to execute and enfore the Secure Passage Act.Excessive micromanagement, and with reguards to Article II, Duh, you said in Article I that they'd be "plainclothes.":rolleyes:

Description: Many children in all of our states are a part of families too poor to afford the costs of athletics for their children. I propose the UN steps in and makes nations pay for children in unfortunate circumstances to be able to play sports, if the children want to play sports, they should not have to be told no because of financial woes.No, just tell the poor kids that if they can't be a athlete they can at least be an athletic supporter.:D

Proposed by: WHOPSES

Description: We suggest simply that our countries road and weichle authorities get togheter once every 2'nd year and agree to a common understanding about the rules for getting a drivers lisence in the different countries. This will mean that the requirement for getting the driver lisence in all UN countries are so simmilar that people can use theire drivers lisence in all UN countries without any extra tests or confusion if they are on vacation or move permantly to another State. The only demand is that the driving test are taken in a UN country and issued after 01.12.2006 (the first authorety assembly has agreed to the rules by this date)

The way it is now people are confused where they can use theire lisence or what they must do in the different countries to be allowed using it here and there. In extreme cases grown ups that has been driving for decades gets told they have to take the test completely from scratch after moving to a new state. This is an easy, cheap and risk free resolution we should be able to agree to quick that will have only positive affects for all parts. Espcially UN inhabitants.

Leaders doesnt always have to make things difficult.
Lets go togheter and try to MAKE THINGS EASYOK, can anyone tell me what the heck, "the first authorety assembly has agreed to the rules by this date" is talking about? I don't remember any "authorety assembly" agreeing to any rules on January 12, 2006.

Marriage Rights Act
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Nordic Northern States

Description: In view of the Universal Bill of Human Rights, and the Gay Rights resolution;

The UN HEREBY :

DEFINES marriage as the civil joining of a member of any nation with any other member of any nation, regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other characteristic, with the exception of age;

RECOGNIZES that the age of the individual(s) as a just reason for not recognizing marriage, as per Article One of the Child Protection Act.

Firstly, this is plagiarism. Secondly, it's not exactly the most subtle attempt to improve upon Definition of Marriage.

Thirdly, "the Gay Rights resolution" was repealed...

Execution of Minors Act
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Technocratifica

Description: This resolution;
-REQUIRES that UN member states ban the execution of those under their age of majority, as this is both a violation of basic United Nations tenets of fair trial and near universal modern cultural prohibition of the killing of minors, regardless of said cultures different definitions of minors and adults.
-RECOMMENDS that member states find more efficient ways to deal with youth crime, such as social programs, better education, and youth prisons
-RECOGNIZES a sovereign nation's individual right to decide its stance on the execution of adults
-ACKNOWLEDGES that different cultures and societies view the age of majority differently, and does not seek to abridge their right to decide when adulthood begins and adolescence ends.
It's not illegal - and its final two clauses made me approve it.

But damn was I disappointed by its text, after such a great title.

Prevent Extinction
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Woodchipping

Proposed by: Freedom Hill

Description: To stop the indiscriminate hunting of rare or endangered species, including the felling of trees.
Animals should be colour coded in order of rarity, ie. RED = rare, AMBER = endangered, GREEN = common.
Penalties should be given to anyone killing an animal and punishment should depend on the animals "colour code".
Duplicates/contradicts Resolution #119, "UNCoESB".

Which is a shame, because I'd love to implement the colour coding part - which seems to be suggesting we paint animals different colours based on how rare they are. I think it an especially good idea to paint some fragile, secretive, highly endangered species a particularly bright and obvious red.

Oooh... I like. Let's use lead-based paint, too so we can poison 'em!

I could just see -- the day after this gem passed -- battalions of dwarves racing madly around Ausserland, trying to put teeny tiny dabs of green paint on houseflies. :D

I'm just wondering if Spatial Forces have to go to Spatial Schools in a Spatial Short Bus.

Spatial is an actual word you know. "Relating to, occupying, or having the character of space." I mean creating forces to generate space to protect our planet does sound extreemely high tech, if not psudo science, but if you look any any hand waved FTL system you are basically talking about generating special forces of and in space.

I don't think it is what the resolution author had in mind but technically the creation of neither space nor a force constitutes an army by the UN standards and thus this proposal is legal. It would probably cause the death of the entire cat-girl race because of the bad science, but it really ought to be legal.

I don't think it is what the resolution author had in mind but technically the creation of neither space nor a force constitutes an army by the UN standards and thus this proposal is legal.

I disagree, the proposal says that one of the duties of these spatial forces is to "to defend the integrity of our planet." In order to defend something you would need some sort of military power which would therefore make them a UN army.

But planetary integrity is pretty easy to maintain. Most planets already have sufficient mass to maintain integrity as a planet. To me the biggest problem is exploring the space. Forces; magnetic, gravatational, strong nuclear, weak nuclear, etc aren't really into exploring.

The Patron Arts
Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Hizerius the Great

Description: The Patron Arts are the most important arts in making a sucessful and educated nation. They have been proved to be a very useful tool to many people in finding work.

We must make these arts compulsory so that the level of education in our member states far surpasses any other.

The Patron Arts include:

- Philosophy
- Maths
- English
- Economics
- Media Studies
- Psychology
- Sociology

The opposite of the Patron Arts is the Servile Arts which entail the following:

- Building
- DT
- ICT
- Plumbing

If this proposal is passed as a resolution the servile arts will be optional but compulsary for those who lack the necessary intellectual capabilites.
The face-smackingly arrogant tone of this proposal aside, this is illegal for contradicting UN Resolution #171, "UN Educational Aid Act".

And I just noticed its inclusion of English. Silly silly.

I could just see -- the day after this gem passed -- battalions of dwarves racing madly around Ausserland, trying to put teeny tiny dabs of green paint on houseflies. :D

Now *that* would have been a sight worth seeing. Almost makes me wish it had passed. :p

"Penalties should be given to anyone killing an animal" sounds interesting, too. It says the penalty depends on the code, but implies that punishment should be meted out even if the animal was "code green". Apparently you'd go to jail or be fined for having your dying pet hamster euthanised...

Resolution: #83


Proposed by: Mitaxia

Description: UN Resolution #83: The Eon Convention on Genocide (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: While staging the necessary recognition that this article of the United Nations international law has in fact served noblely to end some genocides existing around the world, it is hereby noted that it could in fact be used for simple control and political clout.

One nation could use it to argue that a criminal execution was done on the boundries of race and thereby place sanctions, wrongfully, on that nation.

Thereby it is here recomended that resolution #83 be rendered null and void.A couple of flaws with this arguement, first off the NSUN can't impose sanctions, secondly, unless a criminal is the last of their race executing them can't be genocide.

Category: Free Trade


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Bosanica

Description: As an answer to all-present and growing counterfeit aspect of trade, we suggest that Interstate Anti Counterfeit Squad should be established.

It would consist of elite police forces from all states, have regional headquarters in states Un delegates and have general headquarter at UN.

Part of the financial resources gathered this way could go for solution of burning UN issues (environment, prevention of deforestation, anti starvation programs...).

1. ensure that any prisoners taken by thier military are given full medical attention as well as facilities, nurishment and physical activity. the facilities must not be decrepid in anyway or at least on par with a federal prison

2. the nation must see that at the end of conflict with another nation, that they release all POW's to the opposing side.

No worries with that, but shouldn't the original author's name be mentioned somewhere? I don't mean to sound nasty with that, but he/she did go to the trouble of writing it up. All this person did was copy/paste.

Even if it is the same player under a different nation name, having the original name credited would save any confusion.

Category: Free Trade


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Gortania

Description: This proposal would not strike UN resolution 70 Banning Whaling. However, it would create a more acceptable compromise.

1. Whaling would be allowed but only a certain number of whales could be hunted at 1 time.

2.For this to be enforced UN inspectors or Animals rights Workers would accompany each ship on its trip to make sure only the permitted number of whales are hunted.

3. If illegal voyages are launched the crew will be jailed and forced to pay a fine.

This proposal would open up more trade increasing economies around the world while making sure whales are not hunted to extinction so both sides are satisfied.Illegal, contradicts resolution #70.

Not that it's ever been successful, but that's not strictly forbidden. It's kinda like repealing the repeal.

Description: The best weapon of stopping terrorist is silence.

If we hadn't see Bin Laden on the television we probably wouldn’t know who he was, even if he had made the horrible attacks.

The media is a tool which terrorism use to grow.
Children like people on TV and act the same, they think that its normal.

The best way of stopping terrorism is not by killing every terrorist, but to occur new generations becoming terrorists.

What we think is necessary is to minimise the access to media if its about terrorism.
Every act of danger should be solved with thoughts and knowledge and no emotions.


We request all nations to follow these way of dealing with terror so that in the future the loses of innocent will be less.

These proposal is accepted by two other aliened republics.

With the billions of people in the world, and diminishing food sources, we would be foolish to not to at least consider this as an option. But in order to preserve the rights most governments insure the people, it should follow that only those who have lost their rights be considered livestock for another human, not as well fortuned. Of course I'm talking about prisoners, which as a majority of are overcrowded. Condemning these convicts to a death by meat processing would not only clear up the space in national prisons, but provide new food sources for low-income families.No one under this new rule would be allowed to kill someone who is innocent bystander however, since he is still entitled to his basic rights.Hello soylent green.

Youth Classical Music Program
Category: Social Justice
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Revolutionary Justice

Description: All nations should develop a classical music program for children and youths that will broaden their worlds as well as provide alternatives to street gangs and hopelessness. This should be modeled on Venezuela's where Venezuelan conductor José Antonio Abreu, 66, in 1975 envisioned classical music training as a social service that could change the lives of lower-income, at-risk, and special needs children. Starting with 11 young musicians at the first rehearsal in a Caracas garage it has grown to 240,000 children as young as 2 -- some deaf, blind, or otherwise disabled -- now studying and performing in orchestras and choruses nationwide. Hundreds of them tour to international acclaim.
It should be required that all nations start such an orchestra in a small way, and that the UN encourage and challenge (through international competitions and spotlights) nations to match Venezuela's success.

1. Promote and cooperate in the development, application and diffusion of technologies, practices and processes that control, reduce or prevent emissions of greenhouse gases from the usage of fossil fuels;

2.Promote and cooperate in the full exchange of information related to climate change.

Each of these Nations shall :

1.Review its own policies which encourage activities that lead to greater levels of fossil fuel emissions;

2.Developed Nations shall take all practicable steps to promote and finance the transfer of, or access to, environmentally sound technologies to other Nations, particularly developing Nations, to enable them to implement the provisions of the U.N.

3.Review progress after 10 years.

Resolution: #18


Proposed by: Doctor Throb

Description: UN Resolution #18: Hydrogen Powered Vehicles (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: We, the people of The Holy Empire of Doctor Throb, propose the repeal of the UN Resolution #18 -- "Hydrogen Powered Vehicles."

While we agree that air pollution is a problem in almost every nation in the world, we disagree with the resolution for the following reasons:

1. Hydrogen fuel cells, although they have been around in some form or other for decades, have always been inherently unstable during transport. Even the recent manufacturers of hydrogen fuel cells will admit to this danger. Hydrogen is incredibly explosive. Even one small spark during an accident could create a disaster for those involved. The danger to our populace must be considered before this technology can be instituted throughout the U.N. member nations.

2. The forcing of member nations to spend valuable resources on this single technology removes funds and manpower from the development and use of other future "green" technologies. By forcing nations to comply with this resolution, smaller nations are forced to spend their limited funds on a technology that may ultimately be found to be harmful.

3. At this time, although we admit hydrogen power seems a worthwhile means to reduce auto emissions, the simple fact remains that there is not a viable infrastructure from which to base this industry. While gas stations abound throughout our lands, hydrogen filling stations do not. The installation of these facilities would cost hundreds of billions of dollars beyond the simple building of hydrogen vehicles. This is an unacceptable cost to small member nations. The building of the infrastructure must come first, before cow-towing to the demands of simple "cleaner vehicles" resolution. Only then does this technology become a viable alternative to the current one in place.

We recognize the need for a cleaner environment, but do not believe this resolution to be the means by which it can be achieved at this point in time.

Please repeal UN Resolution #18 for these reasons. Illegal, branding.

Contradiction/duplication of Resolution #164, "Individual Self-Determination".

But that's not why I'm posting it here. Why, the hell, would you copy a resolution on terrorism (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11434528&postcount=169) for something on this subject? I noticed the other day a proposal on drugs that was clearly copied from the current proposal at vote. I'm all for people looking up how to use legislative style - but ripping the backbone of another resolution, on an entirely different thing, seems really odd.

My list would be slightly longer, since it's not limited.

A museum of cavity searches? I demand a throwing up smilie for that one!

I'm really rather surprised that someone would try to destroy the UN through a UN proposal, personally...

That, and the fact that it's mostly incoherent.

Maybe you shouldn't be so serious. Personally I think it is hilarious.

Minimum Wage
Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: United People of Peace

Description: People who live in nations with low economys often don't make enough money to provide for their basic needs. Therefore I propose that all UN nations have a minimum wage of 5.35 in that nation's currency. Otherwise poverty and unemployment will reign.
5.35 in that nation's currency? At its height, the old Turkish lira was about 0.00000006 USD. So 0.0000003 USD would be a minimum wage in Turkey?

(It also doesn't 5.35 per what...per hour? per day? per annum?)

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Truella

Description: "This is a resolution to require all nations to grant self-rule to all citizen on some level. Local, Regional, or National is no matter, just so long that all citizens have some say and control over the way they are governed."

This resolution was repealed by the UN, primarily because it lacked clarity in its directive. It also claimed that it deterred 'rogue' governments and ensured international peace, which was obviously wrong. But what this issue does do is ensure that citizens/subjects are involved in the political process of their nation that could previously be denied.

This resolution was also criticized because it appeared to isolate several types of governments, including anarchies and dictatorships. But dictatorships are by definition corrupt politically and controlled by a dictator or a group of dictators, that deny their people the right to involvement in the political process of their nation. The UN is also a body that works towards guaranteeing the best future for every citizen within UN nations, and by ensuring citizens liberty in involvement in the political process of every UN nation, they grant a right that could previously be denied.

Therefore, this resolution must be backed by the UN, to once again grant the people of UN nations to right to self-government, as is the desire of every person. The UN must set the standards here, and discourage corruption and exploitation of its member-nations' citizens.

POWER SUPPLY PACT
Category: Free Trade

Description: • The prime aim of this pact is to DEVELOPES/BIG NATIONS TO PROVIDE ENERGY FOR INDUSTRIES IN SMALL NATIONS, WITHOUT ANY TAX AND THERFORE CHEAP.
• THE CLAUSES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
 Any nation with surplus power is permitted to sell it to small nations without any trade tax and restrictions.
 The power supply must be distributed in accordance with the need and mainly POTENTIAL of the nation.
 The profit must not exceed 10% of the production cost.
 A “GLOBAL POWER COUNCIL” must be formed with the most selling and buying nations representation.
 The cost of building and maintaining the power apparatus to be borne by the “GLOBAL POWER COUNCIL”
 The “GLOBAL POWER COUNCIL” gets 0.8% of the profit gained in selling power.
 Credit facility must be given by the “GLOBAL POWER COUNCIL” at its discretion of any nation.
That the symbol didn't work is not really the author's fault.

The obnoxious CAPITALISATION of everything even where there is NO OBVIOUS NEED, and the astonishing medley of Marxism and neoliberalism, most definitely is. Also iffy with regard to UN Resolution #154, "Nuclear Energy Research Act", and contains a committee violation.

Rogue Nation Act
Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Saint Revan

Description: A rogue nation can be defined by the following:

1. One which state is in rapid collapse and is on the brink of
anarchy, if not already in a state of anarchy.

2. One that actively supports terrorism and terrorist organizations.

3. One that is not a member of the United Nations or is threatening one
that is with military strength. Note that this only is in effect if numbers
one and/or two have already been confirmed true in a nation.

4. One that is critical in the trade of illegal drugs.

Noting that many nations are under this threat;
The Rogue Nation Act calls for the UN to send military aid to UN member
nations that are at war or under threat by the rogue states.

1. UN member nations would send their troops to aid other UN member
nations that are at war with rogue states, if these member nations
agree to it.

2. The UN may not force any nation or nations to give military aid
to another.

3. A UN member nation may only strike at a rogue state if it is in
retaliation.
This strikes me as a particularly bizarre proposal. The definitions are weird - seemingly unaware of the existence of a) the Anarchy UN category and b) many peaceful and fluffy anarchies, and UN membership seems utterly irrelevant.

Anyway, I'd argue it contradicts the collective self-defence clause of Rights and Duties, it could potentially contradict UN Resolution #134, "Rights of Neutral States", it borders on a UN army violation (it's been stated in the past, though I have no link, that the main issue with this is UN mandate, rather than the assembly of troops in itself), and it doesn't use the word "rouge". :mad:

Er... I'm afraid I have to go into grammar nazi mode, Gruenberg.

"Rogue" is the correct spelling, to the best of my knowledge (And Merriam-Webster's), so unless he was trying to get rid of reddish-pink-colored nations...:)

In-joke. Resolution #8, now repealed, used "rouge nations", so it became something of a stock line in the UN for people to lament the rouge nations, the mascara states...

A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.


Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Alexandersom

Description: Recognizes: peoples rites to wear what they want when they want.

Disapproves : Public nudity .

Recognizes people's rites to be naked on their own property.

States that public nudity is psycologicly damaging to children.

states that anyone who is caught displaying their sexual organs or chest shall be put on an offenders list , this list shall be shown to the public.

States: If caught a 2nd time then the offender is able to be placed on a short prison sentence form 1 week to 3 months.

States that if caught more than twice than the offender will face a harsher sentence of 6 months to 2 years without bail or awards for good behavior.

If this resolution passes then children's minds will not be warped and society will become more polite and pleasant

The fact that they used "rites" as opposed to "rights" is mildly funny. Anyone who shows their chest in public? What's up with that?

Anyone who shows their chest in public? What's up with that?Clearly they're attempting to ban Lifeguards.

Guns for all

Decision: Relax
Proposed by: Onaga The dragon king

Description: I propose Each person 18 and over should have ONE gun, they will be trained to use it, in high school under proper supervision. to prevent accidents each gun registration will be noted with the name of its owner.
Contradicts Resolution #171, "UN Educational Aid Act". Also a category violation, by my reckoning: these laws would be a tightening for many states.

Ban Gambling
Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Outlaw
Proposed by: Agnosial

Description: Gambling does nothing but corrupt our people. Sure, they win a few bucks here or there, but they keep going. And as they keep putting their hard earned money that they need for their kids and families use, they become addicted to it. Soon many families are in debt, because those of weak wills have gambling open as an option for them.

I declare that we must outlaw gambling now and forever. If we continue to let our people play themselves into a hole, we'll never have good economies.

With the passing of this ban, all member nations will have to:

1. Shut down all casinos in their respective territories within a year, recovering all legal tender from each facility.

2. Pressure their police forces to crack down on underground gambling.

3. Use aquired funds from casino closings to make more theaters, resturants, or whatever else will keep our people clean and happy.
I really detest these proposals. Not necessarily a fanatical supporter of legalised gambling myself, but the logic always follows:
- people have weak wills
- therefore we should ban gambling

Because...this will somehow steel us with resolute determination? No, it won't. It'll mean they'll be playing dice with someone who doesn't have to abide by fair practice rules, because it's illegal anyway. Silly, silly, silly.

I think clause 3 may verge on a category violation, though overall, the proposal is probably legal.

Repeal "Hydrogen Powered Vehicles"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #18
Proposed by: Euleos

Description: UN Resolution #18: Hydrogen Powered Vehicles (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The United Nations,

RECOGNIZING the importance of the goal of UN Resolution 18 Hydrogen Power Vehicles,

BELIEVES that the resolution is inadequate to its goal,

REALIZING that other issues must be addressed in order to develop hydrogen powered vehicles,

FINDING that there is not a specific goal about the development of hydrogen powered cars in the resolution, and no explicit mandate or statement of encouragement to member nations to develop hydrogen powered vehicles,

FINDING that there is no statement encouraging or requiring UN member nations to start phasing in hydrogen powered vehicles to be used over time, nor is there a deadline for the start of development.

REALIZING that these above issues mean nations could develop hydrogen powered vehicles but never need to use them, and reduce the benefits of this resolution,

AND ACKNOWLEDGING current technological issues with hydrogen fuel cells that the resolution does not mention, particularly,

FINDING that the current resolution, while citing reduced use of oil, and presumably other fossil fuels, and better air quality, does not address these issues in the context of building hydrogen powered vehicles,

FINDING that the resolution does not specify where or how the hydrogen for vehicles should be obtained, which can have varying impacts on the environment,

REALIZING that the resolution does not address the issue of making hydrogen fuel cells, and that depending on which technology is used, could require just as much oil and other fossil fuels,

CONCLUDING that these issues diminish the benefits of the resolution,

IT IS PROPOSED that UN Resolution 18 Hydrogen Powered Vehicles be repealed in the hope a stronger resolution will replace it.
This repeal is fairly well argued, although a lot of the clauses seem to merge together, essentially saying the same things.

However, the bolded phrase is wrong. Whilst the mandate is arguable, the resolution clearly does at least encourage member nations to develop HPV. Therefore, it's illegal as an Honest Mistake, misinterpretation of the original.

Repeal "Banning the use of Landmines"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #40
Proposed by: Agnosial

Description: UN Resolution #40: Banning the use of Landmines (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: War could mean the destruction of an entire civilization, even civilians, if one side chooses to exterminate them. The use of landmines could save the lives of more civilians than they would take.

Think. If a battalion of enemy armor or troops are crossing a point in the wilderness and mines are deployed, the advancing forces could be more easily stopped by the mine field and lives would be inevitably saved. In a city. If an army occupying another's or defending their own city, deploying mines could stop an enemy assault.

We could use the many brains of the UN to make mines that would have timers, so to speak. If we were to mkae mines that only remain active for a preset period of time, we could warn civilians to stay away from certain areas or, if necessary, entire towns, until the mine timelines in said areas passed.

The use of landmines can now save more innocent lives than they take, if we act swiftly.
I agree with this repeal, and I think it's legal - the third paragraph is making some general suggestions, not new law.

Still, I like the phrase "the many brains of the UN", in the context of making landmines. Me, I'd put explosives in my landmines...but if you think stuffing them full of grey matter will help, carry on.

Repeal "Protect Historical Sites"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #15
Proposed by: Rhyeland

Description: UN Resolution #15: Protect Historical Sites (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: COMMENDING the intentions of resolution #15.

HOWEVER it is up to a nation what is considered a historical site and what is not.

REALISES some nations may need to tear down historical sites for housing, governmental buildings, etc.

IN CONCLUSION each separate nation has their own definition of a historical site and have the right to decide what happens to their historical sites.

REPEALS resolution #15.
Misreads the original resolution, because it doesn't prevent nations from doing the things described in "REALISES..." Also interesting to see whether this falls foul of the rule against national sovereignty arguments, as that is essentially what this is.

Bio Testing Facilities
Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Ryonian Powers

Description: PROPOSE:

Change in the laws to allow any UN Government to test chemical weapons on their own citizens within top secret testing facilities

Legalization of chemical weapon production

Citizens can be abducted and transported to testing facilities without question

REALIZES:

Not all citizens deserve this

This would cause national uproar

COUNTERS THESE ISSUES:

Proposes that the citizens selected would be chosen from prisons

Keep such facilities and their actions a secret

RESULT:

Lowers prison population

Allows further development in military biological advancements

Lowers the amount of tax money required for prisoners depending on how many are transported to said facilities
Contradicts Resolution #115, "Freedom of Conscience", and probably some others. Also dreadfully written.

Repeal "Stop privacy intrusion"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Ninja Skiing Wallys

Description: UN Resolution #10: Stop privacy intrusion (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: This law should not have been passed for many reasons:

1)With this law in affect, the government must wait until the crime is commited to arrest the person.
2)Without this law we will be able to stop crime before it is actually commited.
3)By the time enough evidence is found to allow monitoring someone's moves, the person who commited the crime could have gotten away easily.

Due to these reasons, this law should be repealed.
Illegal for Honest Mistake misreading of the resolution, although in a sense I do agree with this repeal. But it's not that the crime has to happen, just that a warrant has to be presented based on serious evidence. So, we'd have to find the blueprints and the explosives manual, but we could still tap their phones before they blow up the building.

Furthermore, Resolution #10 doesn't deal with arrest: just the collection of evidence.

End Space Warfare
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Saint Revan

Description: Observing the incresing amount of space based weaponry.
Calls for nations to DISARM THEIR SPACE WEAPONS.

1. Space Exploration and non-military satellites do not count as space weapons.

2. Non-Military Ships that have small gun turrets for defense may keep their weaponry.

3. Prohibits the use of orbital weapons that can be fired upon targets on Earth.

4. Allows the construction of Industrial Facilities in space.

5. Prohibits the manufacture of Star Warfleets, but encourages Merchant Star Fleets.
Contradicts Resolution #110, "United Nations Security Act".

And a perfect example of a resolution unsuitable for NS. Gruenberg would formerly have supported this, because we're not a space nation, so fuck them!!! However, now we have in on the regional Death Star...

Repeal "Metric System "
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #24
Proposed by: ARCS Virgin Islands

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

Argument: RECOGNISING this resolution goes too far. It mandates that all nations should be forced into using metrics, this seems to be taking away the nations right to use their own localised forms of measurement.

NOTING that barriers in the sharing of research and the international marketplace are nonexistent in todays world of computer, metres can be transformed into feet and inches in the blink of an eye.

ARGUING that tourism would also remain unaffected, as it is affected by climate, exchange rates and sightseeing availability NOT a specified form of measurement. Otherwise tourism would be lost because of currency variations between nations, as is clearly not the case.

ALSO ARGUING that Fair trade is equally possible when weighing in pounds or kilos.

ACKNOWLEDGING that science has many variations and measurement forms – be it degrees Kelvin, Fahrenheit or Celsius. The beauty of these variations is that we are able to notice the least significant of changes and fit it into statistical models. With just one standardised type, we lose the ‘fine tuning’ ability we have with all the variables.

SUGGESTING that our children are likely to have far a more versatile way of thinking if they are able to leap between measurement methods – much like speaking many languages enhances a child’s education, so does adapting to and learning these measurement types.

IN SUMMARY, the UN shall repeal this law so each and every UN nation have the autonomy to choose whichever measurement methods they wish.
The final line seems to make new law, though this repeal might well be legal. It's silly, though, inasmuch as it's essentially the same as the previous repeal that failed, and also an example of why using standard format of activating words like "RECOGNISING" is only useful if you're writing to them. Just sticking them in regardless makes the proposal less legible, not more.

Technology Advance Act I
Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation
Proposed by: DeathByPain

Description: Technology...
The thing that makes the world go around when our bodies can do only so much (which equals very little). My proposal is for an advance in available technologies for all regions so that each region has more available to it and can expand to a more modern society if it is not caught up.
Our nations need a good lead so that they are able to broaden their communities for those in need. Proper technology allows us to excel and proceed further for the good of all those in the society. Without good technology, we can only go so far.
For one thing, think about how far we have gotten in real-life commen communities in areas such as in the
United staes. One of the main factors is and always will be technology.
If you feel the same way that I do, and you believe as strongly as I that an improvement in techology could help our nations in so many possible ways, then please think well over my proposal and take the time to decide if you would like to support my act.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this proposal, and I hope you found it helpful and convinvcing.
I didn't.

RL reference - or would be if they could spell "United States" - and it's a vague essay that does nothing. Also a category violation, though I couldn't say what it should be in.

Category: Human Rights


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Dsboy

Description: Noting that previous UN Resolutions on Marriage rights have been struck out and being concerned about the void of any resolution by this body on this important universal civil right it is proposed that all UN Member Nations hereby recognize and define marriage as a union between two people who have commited themselves to each other for life.

This proposal also notes that a couple be defined as two people, either hetrosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual or transsexual and does not include any relationships with any other species or those containing more than two people.

The Nations belonging to the UN, must give all married couples the same basic rights under the law, regardless of sexual orientation.

Religious beliefs should be left out of this law, while respecting that individual faiths may or may not recognize marriage as defined in this resolution, this is a civil legal basic human right and not a moral one.Oh look, it's another nation who fails to realize that not all UN nations are populated by humans.:rolleyes:

Oh look, it's another nation who fails to realize that not all UN nations are populated by humans. :rolleyes:

I'm going to disagree. I'd be the first to complain if it was but it doesn't mention human / non-human. It does seem to kill the notion of inter-species marriages, (ex dwarves and elves) but within a single species everything is fine.

This proposal also notes that a couple be defined as two people, either hetrosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual or transsexual and does not include any relationships with any other species or those containing more than two people.

I might disagree with species purity, but I don't think one should call it "anti-human" as a result. I know in Retired WerePenguins, a WerePenguin marrying a human would be strongly frowned upon. The same is true for a WerePenguin marrying a penguin. Affairs and out of wedlock egg laying is a whole different matter, however.

B) The further claim that artificial oases and reserves using “hydroponic plants” can adequately cleanse the wastewater and sewage, making it safe for human consumption.

UNCONVINCED that these methods represent the most efficient and economical means of delivering safe drinking water, particularly in developing nations and areas where sanitary sewage systems are non-existent;

FURTHER, believing that there are more conventional and scientifically proven methods of providing safe drinking water;

WISHING to remove UN Resolution #114 so as to make way for suitable replacement legislation;

4. CREATE 20,000 more places in institutions of tertiary education in 10 years for students by:

A)CONSTRUCTION of more tertiary institutions

B)LOWERING benchmark for entrance into non-professional courses.

DEFINES marriage as religious union of one man and one woman as member of any nation with any other member of any nation, regardless of race, religion, color, with the exception of age and by the standards of the church performing the marriage;

Marriage Act
Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Ultrasilvania

Description: This resolution proclaims that the only legal civil and religious union between two individuals, henceforth called _MARRIAGE_, is between two members of the same species who naturally could procreate by using only the combined physical features of the two individuals. Furthermore, any union between members of different species, or members of same species but who cannot naturally procreate with only their combined features should be deemed illegal. Any legal marriage should warrant their participants rights respective to legal codes of local government for unions between individuals (such as tax relief, housing if applicable, etc); illegal unions should not be given any extra rights, other than those already had by the unmarried individuals.

If a species allows procreation by using the physical features of a single member, marriage between two individuals should be allowed only in the case offspring could inherit traits from both individuals (e.g. Earth flowers that could polenize themselves, could also be polenized by other flowers, and the resulting seed will inherit DNA from both flowers).

Description: Concerned that government spending in many cases grows faster than the salaries of the working citizens, and disturbed by the fact that many governments tax at will, without any consultation from the people they tax, let it be resolved that future increases in government spending shall be limited to the rate of inflation plus population growth, and that the citizens vote on all new tax and fee increases.

Spending limits may be surpassed, should a majority of voters vote to raise spending above and beyond inflation and population growth. Also, in case of an emergency or natural disaster, a governing body may temporarily increase spending and taxes, but they will be required to allow the citizens to vote on those increases before being allowed to impose them for more than a single fiscal quarter.

2. Teams shall be sent to clean the ocean.
3. Rather than killing injured or sick creatures, they shall be sent to aquariums for treatment, and to amuse the public.
Probably the most annoying preamble ever written?

That aside, it duplicates UNCoESB, Oceanic Waste Dumping, Waste Disposal Covenant, and some others, and throws in some contradiction too. Also, I really love the idea that sick creatures will be sent to aquaria to amuse people. I do find paralysed dolphins pretty funny.

So naturally he resubmitted identical text as Significant.No... it's a little different. It's now "prosecuted" instead of "persecuted", and it was strengthened slightly. Before it was "no citizen should be..." not it's "no citizen may be..." so it actually is mandating something.

I guess it counts as Mild now. Of course, it probably should be Moral Decency.

Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Ryonian Powers

Description: REALIZES: That under capitalist control, an estimated 3 Billion UN citizens are currently suffering abject poverty.

PROPOSES:

* Tax breaks on the poor SUFFICIENT ENOUGH SO THEY CAN AFFORD BASIC COMMODITIES

* Use tax money to fund companies that will employ the desperately poor to do jobs which may be considered as community service by many prisons systems. ie Road repair, Ditch digging, graffiti removal etc

* Make sure the police officers are funded properly so more of their working hours are spent on the street, not in the office with paperwork.

* State funded schools not only mandatory but must meet the requirements set by the board of education.

* Hire people to provide on the spot soup kitchens for the homeless.

* Draw up waiting lists for state owned housing to aid people off the streets and prevent more from becoming homeless.

PREDICTS: With these things properly funded, it is understandable that due to a decrease in the separation of rich and poor, that not only will crime drop, but with more opportunities for the less advantaged, the economy can only benefit, as well as people's lives in general. Wow, only 3 billion poor people in the world. That averages out to what, about one per nation?

Category: Repeal


Resolution: #6


Proposed by: Broughdom II

Description: UN Resolution #6: End slavery (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Repeal Resolution #6: End Slavery

To the members of the great United Nations.

GIVEN the rights of a nation to lead its own path, the UN has taken it upon itself to designate who is worthy of freedom.

APPALLED that the UN has kept this act in power for so long, the nations of the UN need to repeal this act as a matter of national choice. This issue is best left up to nations, not the UN.

PROPOSE that the UN repeal Resolution #6: End Slavery. Instead make the nations individually decide on the issue of slavery.

REGULATE slave treatment and housing standards:

-No more than 5 slaves in one 10 X 20 room
-No slave may be forced to go 24 hours without food and water.
-Slaves may not be bound or beaten.
-Slaves may not be subject to working weekends.
-Slaves may not be forced into marriages, or forced to bear children.


RIGHTS of enslaved peoples, which are not discussed in this or other active resolutions, will be determined by the nation in which the slaves are owned. The nation must not be punished for the establishment of an institution of slavery, but may be judged on how well said slaves are treated.

Proposed by region, "The Worlds Stronghold" and written by "Takata".Illegal, repeals cannot introduce new legislation.

Description: APPEALING to every nation's citizen's duty to protect the home nation during crisis and/or war situations

ORDERS an emplacement of such duty, if none exists.

AFFIRMS, that an individual may/will be incapable or insufficient to perform his/her duty without proper training, if war should appear.

ACKNOWLEDGING, that certain psychological cases of "going berserk" or "power burst" in order to protect the individual's close persons.

FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGING that this won't be of help in longer time period.

NOTING that training received from the military service is essential on the field of battle, so that:

1) Everyone knows the clear hierarchy of the chain of command, so no-one at anyplace, anytime in any situation would have any second thoughts about, who will be in charge of who, thus avoiding any person to assume the command and by that mixing up the original chain of command.

2) Everyone knows the essentiality of discipline, so that any sort of psychological infractions can be kept in minimum.

FURTHER NOTING, that the military service must be same to everyone, not looking to the gender, religion, political situation, race or marital status.

STRICTLY DENYING the straying from the duty and

RECOMMENDING to punish those, who deny from the compulsory military service, with imprisonment from one (1) year forward as the government individually sees fit.

BRINGS INTO ATTENTION the possibility civil alternative service along with primary military service for those individuals, who can't take the military service for religious reasons,with following conditions:

1) So that Civil Alternative Service won't appear as a lighter, easier 'escape route' for those, who have by their own free will denied to accomplish the military service and taken the civil alternative service

2) So that the period of civil alternative service is overall equal compared to military service

ADMITTING, that the Compulsory Military Service isn't necessary to accomplish, if the individual is affirmed to
be physically or mentally incapable to accomplish the service by a qualified medical doctor and with his/her written consent.

ACKNOWLEDGING, that certain psychological cases of "going berserk" or "power burst" in order to protect the individual's close persons.

... Huh, Does this make sense to anyone? ...

How can you be so blind to the subtle artistry of the Description? Plainly the words are arranged in such a way that they represent the fact contained withn them. This bit

The County OF PCSF HAve Built A Wall To Stop People actually shows you the wall, each Capital Letter indicating where a guard-tower stands. Then, this bit

how are escaping from their own country because of war

celebrates the dauntless human spirit: despite the hellish wall, people are escaping. But, alas, they are changed almost beyond recognition by what they have suffered -- hence 'how' instead of 'who'.

Finally, this tragic fragment

and the pcsf are killing them at the border-

makes us watch a life being cut short in the very shadow of the wall; the poignant word-picture "border-", ending in mid-dash ... how can anyone not be moved by that?

Chastened, we move on to the sombre, brooding coda: "Approvals: 0".

You didn't imagine for one minute that was accidental, did you? Of course there are no approvals! How could anyone approve such inhumanity? Clearly, the author is calling on the international community to not approve the ghastly wall and the repeated murders that stain its stones with blood.

Honestly, Witchcliff, just read the proposal!

Argument: Ladies and Gentlemen of the NationStates United Nations:

DEFINING, for the purposes of this proposal, SLAVERY as the purchase and employment of another human being, regardless of race, and without pay; HUMANE TREATMENT as the treatment of the subject (in this case, the slave) with respect and dignity, and not violating the person (in this case, using physical violence) of the subject (slave), and refraining from publicly humiliating (using physical or emotional means) the subject (slave); and SLAVE as the subject of purchase and employment, REGARDLESS OF RACE, and without pay, and

WHEREAS, United Nations (henceforth refered to as UN) Resolution #6 (henceforth refered to as #6, as well as every other resolution, by their respective numbers) is based on reference lacking arguments and inappropriate assumptions, such as, but not limited to: slavery being a brutal act in 100% of cases; slaves being torn from their families in 100% of cases; and the abscence of the right to own property in 100% of cases, and

WHEREAS, these assumptions are not true, and have no associated research, and

WHEREAS, given the proper guidelines, slavery could return to the healthy, economically efficient practice that it once was, and

WHEREAS, the UN has proposed and passed many resolutions (see #18, #33, #60, #82, and numerous other resolutions) of which the primary purpose was the betterment of economy and the furthering of human development, and

WHEREAS, this resolution is of the same endorsement, and

WHEREAS, many in need choose to sell or solicit a child or other human being under their right of attorney, in order to make ends meet and make a better life for them and their families,

BE IT RESOLVED by the UN assembled here today, that:

§I) #6 be struck out and rendered null and void,
§II) all formerly passed resolutions in contradiction with this resolution also be struck out and rendered null and void, and
§III) slavery be legalised and regulations placed on it to ensure its stability and helpfulness of the economy,
§IV) such regulations being, namely,
i) the purchase and marketing of human beings be subject to existing trade laws instated by the UN,
ii) the owner of a slave must treat the slave with humane treatment, as formerly defined,
iii) the slave, should it be asked to perform a sexual act with the owner, be granted the right to decline the request to ANY sexual act, without protest, and
iv) the slave be granted rights of visitation, to be settled in the court of law of the respected country, to its family and children, should it have any.

Please consider the severity of allowing free thought to go unchecked in these harsh environs. A U.N. enforcement force could act around the globe to stamp out wrong doing before it is done.

Proposed by: Forest Whitaker

Description: THE FACTS:

-The grades and a knowledge of today's youth are declining at a rapid pace.

-Future generations will be affected even worse if educational conditions continue.

-The children of today are tomorrow's leaders. If these future leaders are "dumb" then our world is virtually doomed.

THE PROPOSAL:

-Create more schools; these schools should be perfect learning environments with no negative influences.

-Hire new teachers that are actually competent, teach, and are very well qualified overall.

-Make our schools safer by hiring competent security guards, not ones that can't speak english and work 8 jobs and also getting security cameras and metal detectors so that no "Columbine" Incidents ever happen again.

-Add more artistic and worldly subjects to our curriculums so that children can get an all around great education.

-Make homework mandatory by law. Homework helps the information stay in the childs mind.

-Outlaw homework on weekends; we don't want the children to go stir crazy.

-Create more educational media items like more educational TV shows and new informational magazines.

-Make all schools operated by the nation so that no budgets are needed and everything is standard.

-Create 2 break periods within the school day so again, the children won't go stir crazy.

-Make it mandatory that all tests, quizzes, and projects be announced to the students at least 2 weeks prior to their due date.

Repeal "Banning the use of Landmines"
Proposed by: Parkario

Description: UN Resolution #40: Banning the use of Landmines (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UNDERSTANDING that Landmines can cause significant damage to civilians

AWARE that Landmines should not be left behind after a conflict has been finished.

PROPOSING that nations may use Landmines during a legal conflict to hinder enemy supplies and re-enforcements. However the nation deploying the Landmines will be held responsible for their use and will be made to suffer the consquences if they do not remove the Landmines after the conflict or if they deploy Landmines in a heavily populated area.
Makes new legislation, and doesn't even provide much of an argument.

Beyond that...Resolution #40 is one of those that gets the most repeal attempts. Yet almost every single one of them seems completely oblivious to the existence of Resolution #150. So annoying.

I vehemently disagree. Toilet paper must be rolled overhand so that the toilet paper can be easily held on top (as that is the natural direction of the human hand) and separated.

I find that holding the roll still from the top in an underhand fashion tends to cause the paper to break at an unpredictable place due to the amount of space between the two hold points, which is more of an inconvenience in my opinion.

Members of the NationStates United Nations,

SURPRISED at the lack of intelligence in the world.

NOTING the room for improvement.

ACKNOWLEDGING some Honourable Nations in their quest for intelligence.

DEMANDING laws to create schools accessible to all citizens.

ATTEMPTING to create compulsory schooling for children under the age of 18.

CREATING a smarter world.

When the Proposal passes, Intelligence Quotients will be expected to rise 2 points in average citizens every school year.


My intelligence has dramatically increased just by trying to work out HOW to acheive the only thing mandated and it's mandated to be expected so how does this do anything? Illegal & Stupid IMO

Getting back to the more important matter at hand, I discovered during a recent forray into the bathroom that the underhanded orientation of the toilet roll is still the most convenient for me. I have found that I utilize both hands. One hand (the left) is used to hold the end attached to the roll. The right is used to draw the paper out, and break it at the proper length using the left hand as a grip to ensure the correct tearing point. Thus, regardless of orientation, my feeding and tearing mechanism remains the same.

Therefore, having an underhanded orientation of the toilet roll allows me to quickly and efficiently withdraw the loose paper with a simple swipe of the roll in a natural downward motion of the hand, setting the roll into a spin that sees to the return of the errant paper.

With the overhand method, a sharp, forward moving swipe can efficiently tear the paper without sending the roll spinning and without needing to use two hands.

This way, I don't need to put down my reading material.

Ah, so you see. You take your time in the bathroom. I like to be in and out. I don't read, thus, I have two hands to spare. Perhaps I have been underexposed. It seems that due to the unique placement of my toilet, and the roll in relation thereof, and the manner in which I spend my time in the bathroom, I suppose the set of circumstances have led me to prefer the underhand orientation. I can see the merits of the overhand orientation now, and don't consider it to be inferior anymore. Per se.

Area of Effect: Protective Tariffs


Proposed by: Emutonia

Description: PURPOSE: To reduce the protective tariffs on industry as to allow more competition.

REASONS:

1. By allowing more competition there will be more employment opportunities for the public

2. More competition will increase the economy by creating a need for more demand and as a result more supply.

3. By spending money accumulated by taxes on protective tariffs there is less money to spend on schools, hospitals, prisons, etc.

CONCLUSION: By reducing protective tariffs the nations of the world will be able to direct their funds toward resources for the nation, and can only increase the economy.Um, if you're going to reduce tarriffs, you might want to use the "Free Trade" category.

As much as I hate to admit it, underhand is the way to go when mischevous cats are present. Absent them, though, and overhand reigns supreme.

Repeal "Child Pornography Prohibition"
Proposed by: Tickston

Description: UN Resolution #169: Child Pornography Prohibition (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: AGREEING that child pornography must be ended in both the industry and personal world.

RECOGNIZING that "The Child Pornography Act" (#169) is redundant on the grounds that it simply combines two already effective acts; these acts are the acts of "Outlaw Pedophilia” (#22) and "The Child Protection Act” (#25). Outlaw Pedophilia stating that the act of molesting a pre-pubescent minor is deemed illegal in all UN nations. Also, The Child Protection Act Article 2, Number 1 states, "States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the minor from all forms of...exploitation, including sexual abuse..."

NOTING that it contradicts The Child Protection Act (#25) by saying, "'child' as any person below the legal age of consent in their nation of nationality" (Article 1, A of The Child Pornography Act (#169)). This is in direct conflict with The Child Protection Act's First Article where it states, "For the purposes of the present resolution, a minor means every human being below the age of eighteen years unless, under the law applicable to the minor, majority is attained earlier."

REPEALS The Child Pornography Act #169
What a silly, silly argument. What Tickston hasn't noticed is that both resolutions #25 and #169 make the definitions for themselves alone: "for the purposes of this resolution". So yes, The Child Protection Act does define minor differently to how I define child (he also doesn't seem to have picked up that they're different words...). That doesn't matter.

The redundancy argument doesn't hold much weight - it clearly is possible not to criminalise child pornography under TCPA.

So, the repeal is illegal, because it interprets the resolution in a manner that would make it illegal (if it were redundant, it would have been deleted). This is not allowed - recall the discussion on Sexual Freedom.

Oh boy, that is the very last time I will ever mention toilet rolls on this forum again, especially if Flib is active. PS, your proposal forgot the committee :p.

Actually I purposely left out the committee as I didn't want people saying, "Great, another useless committee."

But believing that each nation must be left to pursue its individual path to Utopia.

Recognizing that member states of the United Nations make different choices and face a different consequences.

Recognizing also that local conditions can change without warning and that even the most developed member states must endure brief periods of martial law in order to cope with natural disasters and unforeseen economic upheavals.

Understanding that the people prefer their own bad government to someone else's good government.

Member states must be left to make their own internal domestic policies as relate to human rights and other issues of individual freedom.

Therefore, all binding articles of United Nations resolution #180 are repealed.

Let a hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred schools of thought contend. Only the "binding articles" are repealed huh? Good thing that #180 doesn't have any really binding articles.

Said office would inform member states of the tax ramifications associated with each U.N. resolution.

This would be accomplished through automatic e-mail similar to the Compliance Ministry.

Each U.N. Resolution, with a cost associated with it, shall henceforth have to be adopted twice by majority vote in order to come into force.

The second vote can only take place after the member states have received telegrams from the Accountability Office informing them of the tax liability associated with the proposed act. Illegal, game mechanics.

All waste will be transported to countries willing to store them, countries can sell their space to other countries (similiar to the greenhouse gas stamp scheme).

All countries will be encouraged to not produce weapons of mass destruction with their new capabilities, but the UN recognises that the concept of mutual deterramce will prevent any form of nuclear attack.

International Stock Exchange
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Nullarni

Description: RECOGNIZING that the world has no standard Stock-exchange, and, therefore relies on liaisons and intermediaries in order to buy, sell and trade corporate stocks between national borders;

AND ALSO NOTING that there are currently over 100,000 separate stock exchanges and market exchanges, causing loss in efficiency* and economic stagnation on a global scale; inefficiency

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE UNITED NATIONS shall create an International Stock Exchange by:

1) Combining all current national stock exchanges and other market exchanges under one UN regulated market.
Including but not limited to the following reasons:
a. Cutting cost. It is to use the existing national stock exchanges as an infrastructure. They will still exist, just not as individual stock exchanges.
b. Providing standardization. If each nation’s individual stock exchanges remained intact, there would be complications like selling of the same shares twice and other communication and booking nightmares like that.
c. minimalization of financial loss. The international stock exchange, would instantly become a monopoly, decimating the independent stock exchanges. So if you incorporate them into the international stock exchange, they become branches and not competitors of it.
d. Making the the change relatively easy in accordance to point number one.

2) Friendly and (or,) hostile take over and purchasing of all international liaison and intermediary corporations, (whose main source of profit is from purchasing, selling and trading stock between borders,) at the current market value.
(See previous): If there is only one stock exchange, the companies that make money off of buying and selling between stock exchanges would lose their business. Now loss of businesses in this caliber would be damaging to the economy and government purchase of these companies would allow the business owners to reinvest their money into other business ventures instead of having to undergo such a significant loss. And this would, in the long term be much better for the international economy.

3) Ensuring the tariff-free and tax-free purchase, sale, and trade of all stock, within its own market.
(See previous:) Even though there will only be one market, the trading of stocks will still be across borders. Therefore, they are subject to nations putting tariffs on the purchase and sales of the stock across their borders. So, it was included to make the point clear that this action would be considered unacceptable.

4) Providing easy, prompt, and accurate transfer and display of stock ownership and prices for public and private corporations, households, and individuals.
(See previous:) This will allow trading of stock to be more efficient, fluid, and accurate.

5) Provide a means of free currency exchange at each nations exchange to encourage purchase and sell of stock.
(See previous:) Free currency exchange will provide encouragement to purchase stock by allowing stock purchase in whatever national currency the entrepreneur wishes.

DOING SO will provide opportunities of economic growth to all nations within the UN, and encouraging better relations within the UN by causing economic inter-dependency. This will also make the global market far more efficient and cause the transfer of funds to be faster and more economical.

Strength: Mild


Proposed by: Post-Soviet States

Description: Social Welfare Act

BELIEVING all citizens of all countries are equal The Federation of Post-Soviet States proposes that all member countries within the U.N provide adequate financial funding to all in need regardless of age, gender, nationality or religion.

ENSURING this would ensure the avoidance of mass poverty, or poverty of any kind, in all member countries within the U.N.

RESULTING in a happier place to live with a happier populace.

HOWEVER to avoid abuse of the system certain rules must be applied.

1) All applicants for financial support MUST be between the age of 22 and the age at which state pension comes into effect.

2) All applicants must have lived in the country in which they are applying for benefits from birth, or have worked in said country for a period of 5 or more years.

3) All applicants must be either unemployed or under a specific income bracket.

4) Applicants found abusing the Social Welfare Act must either serve a term of penal servitude (to be set by independent legislation within the country in which the offence occurs); or repay all benefits two fold.

5) All benefits will be stopped if the applicant comes into a significant inheritance; and/or fails to 'find' work for a period of 14 months.

KNOWING that not all applicants will have the same financial situations benefits will range in amount (to be set by independent legislature within the country). All payments however must be satisfactory and to a good standard and enable the applicant to live without fear of starvation. Illegal, branding.

Category: Political Stability


Strength: Strong


Proposed by: German Eurasia

Description: Noted: Democracy and the unregulated acceptance of capitalism allow individuals too much freedom.

Noted: The freedom of individuals inevitably leads to overconsumption and hoarding in self-interest.

Noted: This overconsumption and hoarding will lead to a collapse in fossil fuel production in the near future.

Noted: No viable alternatives exist to fossil fuel now or in the near future, and this collapse will tear down the agriculture production epicenters that are so dependent upon oil, leading to a global famine and nuclear war.

Resolved: the United Nations shall support the furtherment of authoritarian states for the regulation of pernicious individualism and resources for the goal of stability and global survival!Good Lord, where do we find these people.:rolleyes:

Category: Repeal


Resolution: #179


Proposed by: The House of Masks

Description: UN Resolution #179: Freedom of Assembly (Category: The Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The United Nations,

Wheras it is noticed that the imposition of Democracy through through this Resolution is inherently contradictory.

Wheras the presence of an opposition party may be an unreasonable threat to the national security of some nations.

The Freedom of Assembly threatens the stability of previously established political systems within the UN in mandating elections, formation of parties, and political activism while restricting the established government from taking action against radical groups who are now given the freedom to assemble in force."The imposition of Democracy through through this Resolution is inherently contradictory." How is imposing democracy through a democratically passed resolution contradictory?

Strength: Strong


Proposed by: Brudescu

Description: After numerous rapes pointed out in my country and throughout the world my country propose a radical position towards the rapists.

Because the rapists didn't manage to rehabilitate themselves and after being in jails they are still raping girls and boys we demand a strong decision.

After showing this attitude to them, they will be afraid of raping small children and young girls who will be traumatize by these acts. We need a strong example and after we will have a world without rapists.

It is a radical decision but sometimes we must take radical decisions if we want to solve something. We take radical decisions today and tomorrow we won't need to take this type of decisions, because the people would know that they are in risk to be put to death.

The castration of the rapists isn't a fair decision. The rape isn't the simple act of force someone to make sex, it is performed in various ways. Even the molestation has a influence in this girls/boys' future. With an iron fist we must put fear into this miserable human beings.

Even if voices will rise throughout the world talking about human rights we think that rapists aren't human beings. They are animals.

For a quite world, vote for this resolution.Someone got the rapist issue. Oh and illegal, contradicts Fair Sentencing Act.

Repeal "Stop privacy intrusion"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Herestia

Description: UN Resolution #10: Stop privacy intrusion (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: We feel that the resolution to stop privacy intrusion (UN resolution #10)must be repealed in the interests of international & domestic security.
The original resolution calls for an end to government interception of 'all personal communication, including but not limited to: face-to-face conversations, mail, telephone, radio, LAN and internet.
This resolution demands that 'all personal communication... shall not be intercepted by the government, unless there is serious evidence of a planned or committed crime'.
However, it makes no attempt to clarify what is meant by 'serious' evidence.
Furthermore we believe the interception of personal communications is neccessary to obtain evidence in the investigation & resolution of some crimes. For certain crimes this is the best means of gathering evidence (in some cases it may be the only means). Also, in many crimes there may be no clues to a planned or committed crime without the interception of personal communications.
To restrict the gathering of evidence in criminal cases according to the current resolution not only hinders criminal investigation and leaves many crimes unsolved, but also allows the fruition of certain crimes that might otherwise have been prevented had the neccessary intelligence only obtainable via interception of personal communications been available.
Finally, the original resolution states that 'evidence of a planned or committed crime...shall be reviewed and approved by the Judiciary before eavesdropping, phone tapping, network traffic monitoring, and other kinds of interception of communications is allowed.' This approach causes unneccessary delays in criminal investigation and can result in reduced success of such investigations and the occurrence of otherwise preventable crimes.
Therefore, in the interests of upholding justice & international security we call for UN Resolution #10 (Stop privacy intrusion) to be repealed.

The Equal Wages Act will lead to the creation of the >>UNEWC>> the United Nations Equal Wage Commission>> the commissions duties shall be to protect equal wages and make sure all nations give their citizens a livable wage and make sure wages of each nation keep up with inflation.
