[PASSED] Reducing Statelessness

[Bears Armed]

But it certainly is interpretable that the 'hereafter clause' extends outside of the resolution and actually renames the committee.

No, it doesn't: "No amendments", remember?

OOC: I think he just means future resolutions could refer to "the Passport Organization", which to me is an excellent compromise between an acronym I hate vs. the bother of repealing an otherwise sound resolution on such flimsy grounds.

Yeah. This.

From the desk of the Grand Freedonian Ambassador to the World Assembly:

Fellow members,
I am profoundly disgusted with this resolution to reduce "statelessness". For many centuries in regions of the world, statless societies have functioned and survived with great prosperity and it is shameful that my learned colleages wish to trample on the ability of free and stateless peoples to live without the burdens of government. It is my contention that people should be allowed to determine their own destinies, without interferance from this international body. It is most arrogant of us to tell stateless peoples that they ought to live under governments as we do, simply because we, in our self-adoration, cannot dream of life outside a massive bureacracy.

"Ambassador, beyond your childish reverence for anarchistic societies, you appear to have entirely misunderstood the legislation. We recommend that your delegation actually read it before commenting upon it."

Congrats!
