Originally, the topic was named "Prohibition of Forced Deportation".)
I am going to regret this but...This new Security Council change bought me back into Nationstates, even though I am opposed to the Invasion subgame on principle. This post, however, raises an interesting point.

My point is that unless C&Cs are capable of being put to the test of scrutiny then they're completely illegitimate. OK so you want to condemn other players, in this case Macedon, but why should any one feel compelled to agree with your dislike of Macedon ? Give us the ability to say " the WA expects this standard of conduct, and you have demonstrably not met that standard and so we condemn you ". If the WA can't do that then it's just involved in settling petty disputes in a completely partial and arbitrary fashion, what is the point of the WA if that's how it operates ?
Qumkent is right. Macedon has not done anything illegal. Deportation is allowed under the current Covention of Genocide, and the WA Counterterrorism Act applies to non-state actors. I understand this will NOT be allowed under "C&Cs", since this is not condemning or commending anyone at all, and I am against proposing this resolution in the General Assembly, because it would be metagaming. But you guys need guidelines.
I'm going to avoid the preambultory clauses for now, and hit right to the Operative Clauses.
1) DEFINES "Forced Deportation" as the removal of a nation from a region without the expressed consent of that nation,
2) DECLARES all "Forced Deportation" are to be prohibited except if the nation in question has violated reasonable rules and restrictions that govern the behaviors of this region,
3) MANDATES that the World Assembly enforce this resolution by condemning all Regions who violate this resolution
