[PASSED] Repeal Liberate The Arab League

Postby Shah-Armen » Thu Feb 16, 2017 5:42 am

Hi. I'm the World Assembly Delegate of The Arab League, which was occupied by Elite Region of Global Command and Nazi Europa. We were liberated and defenders swooped in to assist. I've come to the conclusion that the region continuing to be liberated is only creating more threats for the region. The text of the liberation is below. I'd really appreciate constructive feedback on this. Thank you.




Applauding the Security Council for liberating The Arab League from another anti-Muslim occupation;

Grateful to the Arab community and to various concerned regions for helping to stabilize TAL by supporting the region’s native government;

Knowing The Arab League’s government is dedicated to preserving TAL and will never abandon the region, as did the former TAL administration following the passage of SC#200;

Observing the influx of unknown nations to The Arab League;

Fearing SC#213 will enable determined anti-Muslim forces to topple the native government and destabilize The Arab League;

Believing that returning full control of The Arab League to its rightful government will further stabilize the region by allowing it to be password-protected against inevitable future invasions;

Hereby Repeals Security Council Resolution #213, "Liberate the Arab League."

Again, I'd really like to get some constructive feedback. Thanks!

This is purely an aesthetic comment - although password is a legal term, I think a phrase like "reinstating border controls" reads better. Can't see anything illegal in the draft and I also agree with LollerLand's comment.

Decently written, but personally against. You wanted it, you have to live with it for longer.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

They should be punished until people stop abusing the liberation resolution. It is used far too often and too much.

You have our support, though, not being familiar with the Arab Leagues politics I must ask what assurance we have that the current government is the rightful one? Did you have an election, or is Shah-Armen the pre-invasion delegate?

So we arbitarily pick on TAL, one of the smaller ones and less likely to be able to defend itself in the first place, because others (including KGB's piler force, The Invaders) have abused the system?

Where was this mindset when The Invaders (who back then were actual invaders) were obviously and deliberately shitting on the sanctity of the Security Council with proposal after proposal submitted for purposes of recruitment and publicity?

If we're going to punish people for abusing the liberation resolution we should start with the most clearcut case of abuse, offensive liberations.

I was always vehemently opposed to the crap the Invaders dumped on the SC and said so in these forums.

Edit. I should have been more explicit in my agreement with CQ. I agree with the second sentence of his statement, not the first.

I don't know the particulars of that incident, but I would have been against that sort of thing. Though I don't think the Security Council has any sanctity. It's a many-headed cat, most of those heads corrupt or with an agenda.

I was one of the few Independent-Imperialist voices against that (once) most famous of offensive libs, Liberate Nazi Europe. So yeah, I was against that too.

Looks like there was a hiccup, this should've gone to vote at the last major but didn't.
