[DEFEATED] Condemn Emporia Towers

[Frisbeeteria]

Description: The Security Council,

NOTING that GA resolution #242 bans use of bio-weapons
(defined within resolution #242) for purposes other than research

POINTING OUT that The Empire of Emporia Towers has sold millions of dollars of chemicals for "Military Applications" to numerous WA and non-WA nations through the company Spaarti Biotechnology such as:
a. Human Immunodeficiency Viral Agent- A T-cell destroyer specifically designed to cripple the human immune system
b. Spaarti Neurotoxin- A neurotoxin that induces rapid muscle contractions that end in death

REALIZING that the storefront title "Military Applications" shows that it was know they would be used for illegal purposes, with some buyers even stating their military was buying them

SHOCKED at the government's inability to stop these sales

HEREBY condemns Emporia Towers

Fixed Typo in Red in the quote. I have little else to offer other than to post prior to publishing as then you gather feedback and other players can bring attention to any problems / suggestions they might have.

[Spuddsvania]

Thanks!

[Lamoni]

It would also help your case if you provided some kind of evidence of these supposed grounds for condemnation. A link to the sales in question, for example.

[Ratateague]

Why would GA legislation apply to The Emporia Towers when they are not a member of the World Assembly?

[The Black Hat Guy]

Emporia Towers is not in the WA, and therefore is not subject to WA. What he's done is not worthy of condemnation, as it's an action that is not only legal (if not preferable), but one that anyone can take without any sort of special effort. That's not the kind of thing that the SC should be condemning.

AGAINST.

[Emporia Towers]

I'm amused that this proposal is only behind the Liberation of the South Pacific in approvals, a legitimate proposal, when I'm not even in the WA.

[Ponderosa]

Liberating the South Pacific is pointless, as is this proposal here. AGAINST.

[TheMilitaryOrderof Scandia]

"The legal issue is: If nation is a memeber of the WA, then international law shall apply, (with some evidence proving guilt) warranting a security council condemation, but if a nation is not a memeber of the WA, than that particular nation can do a it pleases, unless the comdeantion in question is a general statment (without any oprative cluases in this resoultion) of world opinion, " from the Security Council.

AGAINST!!!!!!

[Eist]

I am once again disappointed in world delegates that this is in all likelihood going to make quorum. It's a poorly written proposal for a nation that has yet to do anything of note in this game.

[Leutria]

I would agree with my fellow delegates that a nation that is not in the WA should not be condemned for not following WA resolutions. Furthermore in comparing back to passed condemnations I believe even of Emporia Towers was in the WA this would not be quite enough to condemn them.

[Delegate Vinage]

The positive thing about this proposal? I can claim this Scotch here on my nation's expenses.

Cheers for an otherwise waste of time

POINTING OUT that The Empire of Emporia Towers has sold millions of dollars of chemicals for "Military Applications" to numerous WA and non-WA nations through the company Spaarti Biotechnology such as:

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

I cannot abide the fact that they've sold millions of dollars in chemical weapons and I won't accept it.

They ought to be condemned, and strongly too, because it is frankly completely unacceptable that they are selling clearly defective weapons. How else could the possibly get by with such low prices? They're undercutting Dourian weapon sales, and this is not something I can abide. Good/Arms Inc. is a purveyor of only the absolute best of weapons... and it shows in our profit margins. The low margin nerve and viral agents of Emporia Towers are inappropriate in a free marketplace, and ought to be banned.

Remember people, for every man, woman, and child killed by a viral or chemical weapon, that's three less guns you can sell, and approximately a hundred thousand bullets. This has to stop and it has to stop now.

Nice plug.

[Wartom]

Why is this even being voted on?

WA has really fallen low.

[Orisonte]

Why is this even being voted on?

WA has really fallen low.

That's why my nation isn't and probably won't ever be part of it. Such silly moralism that bothers even outsiders is outrageous.

[Kringalia]

The Republic of Kringalia in agreeing that Emporia Towards is not subject to the jurisdiction of the WA will vote AGAINST this resolution.

[Iron States]

AGAINST
Dear Security Council,
The Democratic Republic has been advised The Security Council and the World Assembly, in their charters, both declare that either force has no power over a Nation which does not have membership in the WA. Emporia Towers has no such membership which would violate the carter and should be deamed ilegal. Therefor the Iron States is AGAINST the resolution at hand.

Thank You,

Pierre Pearson
President Of The Democratic Republic Of Iron States.

Represented by:Sen. Nikolai Yezhov-Secretary Of State

[Jarjarbinks (Ancient)]

why are we debating this? the nation that is being condemned is not even WA. the lack of evidence is just icing on the cake.

[The Red Legion]

The Red Legion also agree this legislation is a total waste of WA time.

[Nation of Doom]

The Nation of Emporia Towers has the right to distribute as they see fit and whole heartedly support them

[Orisonte]

The Most Serene Republic of Orisonte is not a WA member. However, we feel that we must denounce this outrage. With what right do your SC decide to condemn or not a nation that has NOT agreed to any of these resolutions? Are they at fault for not abiding to YOUR one-sided rules? This is a direct attack to our independence as legitimate not-member nations and to our right to rule ourselves. Orisonte won't quietly accept this abuse of power.

[Imperium of Tanith]

And This is the reason why I no longer support any possible Resolutions.

I'm also seriously contemplating about making a Resolution that says people have to pass a Fething IQ Test to join the Security Council.

[Nautic]

Sadly I was not fully on top of the South Pacific motion, for I think many of you who felt the motion was "pointless" could just have done with a little evidence. As for Milgorad, there is no good he's done for that nation; in fact, he's simply culling nations that he doesn't care for at a complete whim.

For example, my new nation of Nautic was initially placed there and- without cause or reason- thrown out by Milgorad. Perhaps since I did not get around to endorsing him within 3 days of making the account, it was unacceptable I remain in the South Pacific.

As for someone who isn't technically part of the WA, members of the SECURITY council must take note of the threat to SECURITY an open arms dealer in weapons that are widely regarded as immoral and illegal poses to other nations who are members- not to mention people, since most put stock in human life. I am FOR this resolution, as I am a person AGAINST apathy.

[ErasmoGnome]

ErasmoGnome stands firmly AGAINST this resolution, for reasons already stated numerous times above.
