Irrelevant. That clause is already covered by this one:
"1) The intentional contamination of any water supply that may conceivably serve civilians is prohibited, for purposes military or otherwise, without exception."
'Civilian' and 'citizen' are NOT interchangeable terms. As such, as long as water may conceivably serve a civilian, you can't do anything negative to it. So the ambassador from Ddreigiau has a point; it does leave the door open to invasions if one of your defensive options had been to dehydrate your opponent.
Clause 3 states in the clearest language possible that you must provide to citizens. There is no requirement to provide to anyone else. It does not exist. If you want to contest what I say, please quote what it is that you are actually contesting.BURNINATI0N wrote:We ask the ambassador to kindly point out the statute in this resolution that specifies that I only have to supply water to citizens?

The new Russia was in trouble. Prime Minister Putin was concerned, and thus, through the ancient art of necromancy, he revived the great leader, Uncle Joe.
"Stalin!" he cried as the ghost materialised in his office. "The Motherland is in trouble, what do I do?"
Stalin looked grave for a moment before answering.
"My son" he said pensively. "You must round up all the liberals in the country and have them shot. Then, you must paint the Kremlin building blue."
"Why blue?" Putin asked, confused.
Stalin boomed with laughter "I knew you wouldn't as about the first part!"

And if illegal immigrants sneak into our countries and squander the water supply, that brings up the issue of national security. I guess this issue should also have sort of national security clause to prevent such actions.

Sir;
I, Oase Perpilov, Official Grammarian to the Delegation (I write Dr. Quicksilver's speeches and check their grammar), can tell you sir that citizen and civilian are interchangeable terms, as they both mean the same thing. They both mean someone who is a resident of a country.
Yours

Yes. Let's deny those dirty, dangerous illegals life-sustaining water. While we're add it, let's ban them from grocery markets and make it illegal for them to till soil!
