[PASSED] Commend Bergnovinaia

[Unibot]

Just wondering - why is the word "assitance" in the penultimate clause italicised? Also, it should be "assistance", but that observation comes a bit too late

Entirely intentional. Not joking.

[A mean old man]

You wiseass.

[Bergnovinaia]

I know it's bad form to post in my own commednation thread, but I think is hyserical you put "assistance" in italics. Dislexia ftw!

[Unibot]

So.. this is in the queue and will be up-to-vote in a day, I hope it goes well.

[A mean old man]

Congrats. I will be voting for it.

[Flemingovia]

All in all this seems a very solid commendation. I will be voting for it, I think.*


*although it would be improved by the introduction of a few Nazis.

*giggles*

Perhaps I will put that off for my next project?

[Frattastan]

The resolution is well written, Bergnovinaia deserves it and starting commending RPers is a good thing.
Oh, and the assitance thing is amusing.
For.

[Noders]

i was for this from the onset.............BERG GET MY COFFEE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needs MOAR Nazis.

"Commend" a country that gives subsidies to internatioanal lawyers and supports international courts?

If the word was "condemn" not "commend" the resolution would make sense. As written the resolution does not make sense.

This resolution does not explicitly state that international courts are 'good', it merely states that having lawyers available for people would be better than not. However I think we can safely assume that the Security Council supports its counterpart in all that it does.

From the Desk of Prime Minister Roberts
Head Chair of NAA

Although we try to prevent nuclear attakcs from occuring, we cannot stop every single one, nor can we condemn every single nation that uses nuclear attacks, especially after they are done using them.

Yours,

Prime Minister Kennan Roberts of Bergnovinaia
Head Chair of NAA

Wouldn't it make more sense to condemn a nation/region for something that they've done, rather than something they are going to do? In order to qualify for condemnation, you have to have done something bad. Although I suppose one could be condemned for something they are in the process of doing... but not for something they are thinking about doing. That's just the same as condemning for an ideology, which is illogical.

What does that have to do with this thread...?

[A mean old man]

It looks like a complaint against the workings of the NAA, the body your nation founded which is referenced in the text of the commendation.

I guess... I thought he was saying I should be codemned because I said that and I was kind of confused...

[Delaclava]

UNDERSTANDING that Bergnovinaia authored GA#65, “Biological Weapons Conference”, which authorized a widespread member nation disarmament of biological weapons to aid in efforts for international peace;

NOTING the sheer number of human casualties that were prevented with the adoption of the aforementioned resolution which is all due to the commitment and determination of the Bergnovinaian delegation;

I doubt how much this has actually done for the world as a whole. WA nations (namely The Final Rome) used biological weapons, and no casualties were prevented. I expect that there is a similar pattern throughout the rest of the world.

CELEBRATING their creation and continued funding of the International Bureau of Lawyers (IBL), which united attorneys from twenty-two different countries with a range of specialities including criminal and international as well as corporate and transnational corporate law to represent those -- in domestic and international courts such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) -- who otherwise did not have a decent legal representation at their defense;

Again, this has, from what I can tell, had little effect on the world as a whole.

FURTHER CELEBRATING the nominee’s creation and leadership of the Nuclear Arms Assembly (NAA), a --now dissolved-- body of member nations committed to:
• The non-proliferation of nuclear weapons;
• Humanitarian support (particularly for radiological and nuclear disasters);
• A reduction of nuclear warfare;
• Peaceful mediation and peacekeeping;
• Replacing outdated nuclear technology;
• The education of nuclear technicians;

ACKNOWLEDGING that the NAA, in its prime contained sixty-two powerful member nations, and was a guiding peacekeeping and humanitarian force in international incidents including:
• The evacuation, and recovery of the Southern Province of Pan-freeland after civil turmoil in the fledgling nation had caused a nuclear war;
• Mediation in a successful peace conference between the following WA member nations... Jlop, Juthra, Kriania and Almaniania, that resulted in a total nuclear disarmament between the involved parties and a peaceful resolution;
• The successful resistance of an Orlkjestadi invasion of Slaytesics, a WA member nation;
• An engagement of heavy economic sanctions and war against Southern United Africa, for their barbaric history of chemical warfare;
• The diplomatic arbitration in a conflict between Chezovolvia and Sunkistodia, while aiding in the containment of the disease which instigated the conflict;
• Support for Seculartopia, by constructing temporary barriers around the southern end of the Sagan River Bank -- thus protecting citizens from radiological contamination and flooding;

An incredibly short list of incidents in a world of 55,000. The contributions seem absolutely minor and petty. Speaking as an NAA member, little was done during my time, and when I was an active member the organization was fairly close to its prime. Plus,

BELIEVING that while the NAA may have recently dissolved because of inactivity -- the spirit and the contributions of an international actor like the NAA or a state-actor like Bergnovinaia, deserve to be immortalized for future generations to find inspiration from;

you stated the problem - the NAA is now dissolved. Not very inspiring, eh?

With consideration to the renowned contributions of the NAA and Bergnovinaia to world peace and wellbeing in addition to their assitance of those in need,

HEREBY COMMENDS Bergnovinaia.

Condemnations are earned by helping a great portion of the world and accomplishing truly fantastic things. The number of nations this has affected is enough only to fill a couple of large regions. What past commended nations have done have accomplished things that have affected much of the world.

Non-compliance is illegal.

Last time I checked, those are for doing harm to the world...

Edit: How does the eradication of biological and chemical weapons held by WA member states not better the world as a whole...?

Might be, but it still happens.

Meh, ignore that. You know what I meant.

In response to your edit, as previously stated, it still happens, and the passing of the resolution has not actually eradicated these weapons. And there are not only dangerous weapons that don't fall in this category, but weapons that are technically biological and chemical weapons but are described in a way to fit the loophole. Besides, it's not just important to help the WA nations, but also those nations not a part of the WA that still need help.
