On World Assembly compliance.

[Gallifrey Secundaria]

Repeal "Condemn Hippostania"

A resolution to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal | Resolution: SC#107 | Proposed by: SkyDip


Description: WA Security Council Resolution #107: Condemn Hippostania shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Security Council,

RECOGNIZING the World Assembly as a sovereign and governing body of the member nations therein,

REALIZING that many nations which hold membership in the World Assembly are in violation, intentionally or otherwise, of some laws passed by the General Assembly,

BELIEVING that it is fully unrealistic to expect all nations in the WA to comply to the letter of every mandate, law, and sub-council given power in these halls,

FURTHER BELIEVING that Hippostania exaggerated tales of their WA transgressions and that the nation in question sought a Security Council Condemnation as a tool of notoriety and fame,

NOTING that Hippostania has not carried out any unique or particularly world-affecting misdeeds as characterized in SC#107 and that many of the crimes mentioned have been trumped-up with extravagant claims and information provided by Hippostania, a practice highly discouraged in the Security Council,

COGNISANT that far more evil nations exist in the world that deserve the attention of the Security Council and that such Condemnations should have their use restricted to nations that commit the most egregious transgressions in order to not diminish its value,

CONFIRMING that such relatively minor infractions should not be forever immortalized in the halls of the Security Council,

WISHING TO altogether strike down a Condemnation that could be easily applied to many nations across the world,

HEREBY REPEALS SC#107.

Doesn't this resolution technically break game rules, as every WA resolution is compulsory for every nation in the WA?

Compliance is mandatory in-game because stats are automatically changed after the passage of a resolution; however, some people Roleplay non-compliance, which is what this resolution was referencing. And, because it passed, it is automatically legal.

Also should probably be Security Council.

Shouldn't compliance move over into roleplay as well? Otherwise the compliance has no real implications.

It also says the claims of defiance were "exaggerated," "trumped up," and "extravagant." Furthermore the author of this repeal freely admitted he did not know how WA compliance conventions worked. RPed noncompliance is quite common outside the halls of the GA besides. It's really only the General Assembly that insists its laws mean something; no one else cares, lol.
