Commend Glen-Rhodes

Category: Commendation | Nominee: Glen-Rhodes | Proposed by: Connopolis



The Security Council,

RECOGNIZING the World Assembly ambassador of Glen-Rhodes, Dr. Bradford Castro, as one of the most prolific resolution authors of all time,

FURTHER RECOGNIZING their delegation as a behemoth influence within the General Assembly, and has currently drafted, and passed a plethora of resolutions such as:

  • GAR#52 Food Welfare Act, which distributes food to countries in a state of famine, while also creating an international seed bank to prevent individual crops from going extinct,
  • GAR#61 WA Copyright Charter, which creates an international standard for copyrights, and protects patent holders from possible discrimination by individual member-states,
  • GAR#70 International Competition Laws, which promotes international free trade, while preventing impairments to international trade, such as cartels, exclusive trade, and other anti-competitive policies,
  • GAR#94 Microcredits and Microgrants, which creates the World Microcredit Foundation, as well as a subset - the Microgrant Institute - the purpose of which is to distribute microcredits and microgrants to impoverished individuals,
  • GAR#112 Convention on Execution, which creates a standard in regards to execution, while protecting certain individuals from capital punishment (pregnant individuals, mentally instable individuals, and children),
  • GAR#130 Elections and Assistance Act, which promotes fair election in democratic nations, and creates the Organization for Electoral Assistance, the purpose of which being to assist nations with elections,

ACKNOWLEDGING Glen-Rhodes as a retired defender and the current Head Spokes-nation of the Native Rights Watch - a sub-division of the United Defenders League,

APPLAUDING the government of Glen-Rhodes in their creation of an automatically updated archive of WA resolutions at vote, which reveals the votes of individual WA nations, the votes of individual WA delegates, and the influence that standard WA members have during individual votes, broken down into percentages,

HUMBLED by the etiquette and patience expressed by Dr. Castro while debating in the chambers of the General Assembly, compounded with his persistence and application of logic and reasoning,

CONVINCED that any nation that instills such positive change in the world deserves adequate recognition from the medium in which they conducted such change,

HEREBY commends Glen-Rhodes


I'm pretty new to the SC (I normally stick around the GA), so go easy on me. :p

Dr. Castro is patient? :O

also, i'd describe what the resolutions *did* and what makes them special. Admittedly GR's defending history is less spectacular than his WA stuff, i might focus on that.

the NRW stuff could be important, but its also very new and hasn't done anything yet.

While I support this draft, I would like to point out a couple personal pronouns you missed, esteemed ambassador. However, other than that, you have my full support.

Those ones are OK, as they specifically refer to his WA ambassador.

We've allowed nations to be recognised as a "Prime Minister" or "President" - both of which stretched nation-simulation language about as far as it could go - but "Spokesperson" is a bit too far. You'll need to change that.

So If the head of government/state of a region were titled Chairperson, you wouldn't be allowed to mention in in an SC proposal, because it could be read as referring to a nation as a person? But wouldn't that be an official title, and though it may sound odd to call a nation a chairperson, is it really that different from Prime Minister, President, or even WA Delegate? (All of which IRL, would be titles that and individual holds not an entire nation)

I mean if this proposal referred to Glen-Rhodes as a spokesperson, because he was an advocate for the organization, then yes I can see what you are saying, but the position in question is specifically called Head Spokesperson, a position which the nation Glen-Rhodes holds.

It's the 'person' part of it that unequivocally refers to a person rather than a nation. So yes, you can't say in a proposal that a nation holds a position with the word 'person' in it.

Those are referencing Dr. Castro, Ambassador. However, we are ecstatic to have the support of your excellency.

I've also altered "Spokesperson", to Spokes-Nation.

Do we have any suggestions prior to submission? I plan on altering the text to focus on his WA career, and to leave his defending as a secondary priority.

You've listed a load of WA resolutions, and talked about his conduct in the WA - but you haven't explained how those resolutions are worthy of commendation (how have they benefited the world?).

Nothing. :lol:

I'd have preferred it if Uni participated in the drafting process, but regardlessly, GR is a defender, and the UDL is the largest organized alliance of defenders...

Many delegates have defining characteristics - Dr. Castro's just happens to be vehement IntFederacy. While many might disagree with his views, that doesn't negate the amount of work he's done in the General Assembly.
