OOC: Are you overlooking the 'Compliance Ministry' TGs that you receive whenever a GA resolution gets passed? Those say, absolutely clearly, that the passage of the resolution has (unless it was a Repeal) been followed by the passage of laws on the subject
in your own nation.
Therefore, as those TGs are an intrinsic part of the game, the passage of those national laws is effectively a condition of WA membership.
Therefore in claiming that your nation's government ignores any passed resolutions outright -- instead of finding 'reasonable' loopholes to exploit -- you are claiming that your government ignores not only
international law but
its own laws as well... and what does
that say about your nation?
Personally I feel that, although the Mods won't do anything about the matter OOC, it would be reasonable for those of us who
do accept the "Compliance is mandatory" argument to RP that nations who blatantly ignore passed resolutions IC either get expelled from the WA altogether or [at the least] have their proposal-submission rights suspended as the apppropriate punishment... which actually means, of course, that we could retcon any resolutions that such a nation had submitted after its non-compliance became obvious out of IC existence on the grounds that the nation therefore couldn't really have submitted them anyway.
