Libraria and Ausitoria His Grace Alexias Stella Leadership and Interpretations Act [Resolution Number: 56] Believing that the present Executive currently has a flattering but tedious and sometimes unnecessary habit of waiting for Councils to rubber-stamp their wishes and waiting for Summits to invent their policy, The IFC members in Council hereby: 1. Clarifies that the Council: (a) Possesses the ability to make in a vote the final ruling on any interpretation of their own Resolutions, (b) May not under any circumstances be dissolved or otherwise inhibited from making and interpreting resolutions, except with its express permission, 2. Permits the Cabinet and any appointed Executive Ministers, under the direction of the Prime Minister, to otherwise interpret Council Resolutions and to take any measures not contrary to Council Resolutions that such empowered persons may consider necessary and proper for carrying out the delineated tasks of government, without waiting for the Council to discuss such matters, 3. Reiterates that a Prime Minister should, where possible, only permit fully reversible measures, and that any Prime Minister overusing these executive powers without sufficient support in the Council should be subject to a no-confidence motion and dismissed from office, and 4. Charges the Speaker & Vice President and any other specifically elected protectors of the Senate with ensuring that these rights are protected. Signed, [ His Grace Alexias Stella, The Imperial Commonwealth of Libraria and Ausitoria] |

"If I may address the points raised by the Bratislavan delegation, it certainly wasn't necessary to have three acts dealing with the Blue Cross - indeed, I would go so far as to say none of them were necessary: I would much have preferred that the Prime Minister simply got on with it. It was really not a very contentious issue and hardly worthy of taking up so much time and discussion and bureaucracy.
As for resolution 58, a majority in the Council can add/subtract whatever it pleases with governing documents, although so far it seems to please a majority in the council to vote like you.
I would be very interested to know when - if ever - members actually want the RRF to be used? Resolution 58 is partly designed to ensure that the RRF is not used except in certain circumstances, and can be used to initiate a liberal intervention in some circumstances, if approved by the Council. Currently it seems to be underused in the sense that there are plenty of cruel genocidal maniacs at large in the world today and overused in the sense that there are at present practically no limits on its use, except that somebody must ask for it.
As for the general principle, I presume members feel that the IFC should be prepared to combat crimes against humanity, to defend the trade of its members, and not to rule out intervening to end humanitarian disasters, improve stability, and spreading democracy? Currently the IFC seems to be becoming depressingly uninterested in affairs outside our membership, and seems to be becoming - I never thought I would say this - unambitious.

"As for the RRF, we believe it is essential that RRF be kept in its current form and purpose, because member-states have contributed to the RRF with those missions and goals in mind. You state that IFC be prepared to 'spread democracy'? I believe many IFC members will disagree that the RRF should be tasked with doing that. Sure, humanitarian disasters can stipulate the use of the RRF, but RRF has been created for a given purpose."
