Please correct me if I am wrong but would it not be more ideal to amend rather then repeal this resolution :( :eyebrow:

Amendment is illegal. It would be more ideal, though.

The repeal of 'Protection of Sapient Rights' might be a bad thing for some of our civilians. A mass purge will most likely occur as the insane government and human-supremacists take control. The HSP (Human socialist party, they are basically nazis) will be very uppity. It will be a very bad time to be non-human here.

"I highly doubt these 'Human Socialists' will have time to start a massive campaign against the rights of nonhuman sapients, take power, repeal protections for said sapients, and begin a policy of mass purging before the replacement goes up. Besides, genocide is still illegal under World Assembly law."

hehehehehehee...... The Human Socialist Party isn't really a party. It's a combination of politicians from other parties. They in total make up 80% of congress. I personally am not a fan of genocide, everything I write is for the sake of being weird, insane, immoral, etc. I really don't think World Assembly law really applies, as it seems half of everyone doesn't even bother to look.

WA law applies to all member nations. If your government won't comply, the gnomes will take things into their own hands.

Gnomes are the official operators of the entire WA. Who do you think makes the daily WA reports on nations?

But if a member ever tells you the gnomes will be deployed to your nation, do not fear. Lowly members do not control the gnomes. :eyebrow:

I'm just letting him know Kenny. I've never claimed control of the gnomes.

OOC: That remark was IC.

IC: "Of course not, Mme. Trevanyika. We all know that a much darker and more sinister force commands the gnomes."
