Since some of you may never have heard of Sacara's Issues Hub before, you may want to read more about it. (Continue not to worry - I actually wrote this draft at the start of August but never published it until now!)

THE SECURITY COUNCIL:
REITERATING the important role that campaigners from many nations serve in alerting world leaders to major issues of international importance, often multiple times a day,
NOTING that, as of early December 2021, activists from [nation=Sacara] have gone to infinity and beyond to provide potential answers for fifteen different issues regarding matters as diverse as:
- opportunities to reform and relax parental licensing standards (known to leaders as "Mother Knows Best?");
- potential consequences for past use of language now widely seen as offensive, whether by currently prominent politicians ("Skeletons in the Closet") or in contemporary pop culture ("With Friends Like These...");
- the legitimacy of allowing children to donate money to politicians, never mind to actually cast votes for them ("A Minor Political Problem");
- to what extent the obligation of police forces to apprehend suspected criminals should restrict the right of religions to hold services without undue interference ("Livin' on a Prayer"); and
- whether or not to make minimum age recommendations for watching disturbing films mandatory ("Curtains for the Horrorshow");
THANKFUL for the work of many Sacarians in helping those from abroad who seek to raise other issues with world leaders with framing the demands and proposed courses of action that they wish to raise in a manner befitting of their international significance;
FURTHER INSPIRED by the Sacarian government's maintenance of Sacara's Issues Hub, a novel tool through which leaders can view highly-condensed summaries of every issue that they could face and vote on what their "favourite" issues are;
OBSERVING that Sacara's finest literary critics have successfully organised two Horror Short Story Contests (in 2018 and 2021), which have attracted entries from storytellers in nations such as Valentine Z, Infected Mushroom, Main Nation Ministry and World Machine (known to the World Census as Shwe Tu Colony) - each of which has a strong tradition of creative writing in their own right; and
BELIEVING that any nation that has done so much to enhance the knowledge and wisdom of so many leaders on so many occasions as has Sacara deserves recognition:
HEREBY COMMENDS [nation=Sacara].
