Could you be a bit more specific?

Except that we have a resolution prohibiting such crimes, along with several other variations on that. So such things aren't happening in member states.

The Remean Lordship wrote:Section II of GAR #2 is much more specific on ideas of war; it takes into account what war is in comparison to the replacement resolution, which only brushes over topic in a way that is almost a summary of Section II.
The Remean Lordship wrote:Clause III of your repeal (Condemning...) does not take into account the fact that td under Section I, Article 3 forces nations to recognize international law (allowing the WA to intervene in unjust affairs), and the document does have clauses that show feelings against international action such as unjust wars (I,3; II,6 and II,7).
The Remean Lordship wrote:Clause IV of the repeal (Distressed...) fails to take into account I,3 also, as I,3 permits WA nations to take intervention within international law and within requests. If a nation is committing "crimes" than the international laws of the WA govern the fact of what is an international "crime." In this sense, the WA determines action for this clause.
The Remean Lordship wrote:Lastly, Clause VI (Concerned...) is the opinionated part. It basically says that the WA should have a standing army, yet that army could act in cases such as tyranny by majority. Furthermore, the clause states that the WA should have a force to mandate its resolutions in other nations, while the WA does that.

Not everyone accepts the notion of mandatory compliance. In addition, not every potential reason for legitimate intervention in the affairs of other member states is authorized by WA resolution, and to assume that could ever be the case is rather naive.
Auralia wrote:Mallorea and Riva wrote:Didn't you learn anything from your last tilt at that windmill? Seriously?
It clearly wasn't tilting at windmills, given your support of "creative compliance". In any event, I learned that GAR #2 prohibited me from passing a resolution governing the interpretation of resolutions, hence this repeal.
Oh so you're asking the mods if it's ok to RP godmodding. Well mods don't generally interfere in RP, however your attempt to legislate RP conventions will fail.

You cannot stop creative compliance. We proved that the last time you swung at that junkball. Feel free to write up whatever you'd like though! After all you believe that WA laws are meaningless and can be ignored whenever you desire, so by all means write on bits of paper in your office. In your mind those are just as important as the serious work that we do here.

Except GAR #2 does not require that wars be just. It requires that war be consensual. Consensual wars are not always just, and just wars are not always consensual.

Defying international law carries with it numerous consequences; it is not something to be taken lightly. Auralia's foreign relations have undoubtedly suffered as a result of its policy of non-compliance with several WA resolutions. So yes, international law still carries significant weight even if non-compliance is possible.

No, you didn't. Not at all. You only established that (at least according to the interpretation of our current mods) GAR #2 is a barrier to the enforcement of proper interpretations of resolutions. With this repeal, I hope to remedy that.
