PASSED: Humanitarian Aid Coordination

[Mikertaz Kein]

Think of it as you will, there is still the matter of majority. If these smaller nations really do not want help, and if they really feel the way they say they do, I cannot help but question their place in the WA to begin with. If it wasn't for the many aid efforts of those around my nation, we would surely have been destroyed in the Ganzopean war, the reason my country is still very weak.

If things really do turn out to be like 7 has stated, then we can always still repeal that resolution. I for one, will place 50% of my PIT's for aid efforts and use 10% of my tax income to stockpile non-perishables and other necessities in disaster so that I may help. And who knows, if my country ever goes through a disaster again, I will have my own aid supplies ready!


We of the small nation of Mikertaz Kein remain for this resolution. I cannot find anything against small countries in either the body or what the body implies.

Wait, wait, this resolution includes none WA members saying that they will receive supplies. Well, none WA members don't have representation here, they have no vote. The fact is some nations don't wish to receive "help" as we saw with some other nations, they don't want outsiders. Now you may say we won't force it on them, but honestly what is considered forcing? The WA could bother, and nag the nation until it is "compliant" also the nation will have a huge burden pressed upon them. If the nation refuses it will put them in bad standing with its people and the WA. A nation should not have to deal with their beliefs being compromised to stay in good standing with other nations.

Honoured ambassador, the World Assembly does not have jurisdiction over non-member states. The resolution is describing in terms of member states, although member states are encouraged to help non-member states, but since the WA has no jurisdiction over non-member states, it is up to the member states whether to do so. Also remember that member nations must abide by WA rules. Thank you...

(The Presiding Officer moonwalks to the self-humming of Rock With You.)

Oh, not again, honoured Presiding Officer.

[Sadiston]

Sadiston is willing to admit when it is wrong. Sadiston changes its vote to yes, and hope all nations do the same. Sadiston will always learn from its mistakes. Sadiston apologizes for any, and all implications that this resolution was corrupt, or that its supporters we're corrupt. Sadiston Thanks every nation who took the time to point out everything, and clear up all misconceptions.

[Wencee]

Voting in favor.

[The Land of 7]

4% is a large increase to a small region of poor people. 4% increase on $100 is 40. Which is $40 less to the people plus the normal tax of x amount

I cannot help but wonder, Ambassador, if this is the source of your misconceptions about this Proposal. Four percent of one hundred dollars is four dollars. Forty dollars is forty percent of one hundred.

I am somewhat troubled by your allegation that larger nations will oppress smaller ones through this act; I am unable to see how another nation has any control over our nation's relief program.

Sincerely,

Sorry I meant $1000. It was a typo.


The larger nations will throw their weight at the smaller nations if we do not follow as they do. This has happened many a time from what I have seen

The WA may not have jurisdiction over non WA nations but the law has jurisdiction over WA nations.


SO if the law passed says we have to help non WA states we are obligated to do so.

AND seeing no specifics this will most definitely happen

No honoured ambassador to the Land of 7, "URGES" is not an mandate clause but merely an encouragement to help each other: however encouragement clauses can be numbered as you can see with WA Resolution #25, WA Counterterrorism Act by The Altan Steppes...

...I hope you're listening to what I told you earlier, honoured Presiding Officer and now the Reading Clerk. There's already place where you can moonwalk...

[Erastide]

Sadiston withdraws argument.

Sadiston, it's generally not good form to edit out your entire post, especially when people have already quoted you and argued against it. Feel free to post that you've changed your mind or something, but editing everything to this makes it look just like you're spamming.

Urge: the fast movement and obligation to pressure (AH Dictionary)
By this definition it will be the obligation to pressure or URGE the smaller nations that are not complying, because of lack of funds, will be constantly nagged, fought, and harassed.

As you said look at the Counterterrorism Act... it fits





As you can see by the votes my side has lost so I see no point in fighting anymore of this

Again, honoured ambassador, the member state's decision is final...

Ms. SARAH HHARPER: The presiding officer certainly can't resist the temptation of Jacko. I'd like to thank everyone who has supported our resolution and we hope to see what we can do to repeal International Salvage Laws, once the Presiding Officer wears himself out of the dancing...

A very moving debate. Congratulations to Charlotte Ryberg on the passing of this resolution at such a difficult time.
