[DRAFT] Repeal “Commend The Macabees”

Postby Sallyut » Sun Jul 15, 2018 9:24 pm

The World Assembly,

RECOGNIZES that whilst The Macabees have high Political, Social and Economic freedoms;

IS APPALLED by their allowance of slavery, a inhumane and primitive form of labor;

NOTES the nation's extremely high wealth gap, which is currently the 4,955th highest in the world, and the nation's crime and death rates, 496th and 643th highest in the world, respectively;

HIGHLIGHTS two of the nation's leading causes of death, malnourishment and scurvy which should be completely unacceptable for a supposedly developed nation;

CONDEMNS the nations's lack of safety and health;

DECLARES that The Macabees, which even though made great contribuitions, a nation with said issues should not receive a commendation;

HEREBY repeals “Commend The Macabees”, for the nation does not deserve a commendation.

Thanks for any feedback :)

The Kiravian WA Mission categorically opposes commendations/condemnations or repeals thereof on the basis of any nation's internal characteristics or domestic policy, rather than their international, gameplay/community, or WA-related actions. The original resolution commending The Macabees is entirely sound and should remain in force.

Much of the resolution falls foul of Rule 2d - it addresses the internal affairs, not the international business, of The Macabees (as the Kiravian mission has noted).

Against. Much of the original commended The Macabees for reasons that didn’t have to do with the nations stats. There’s no reason to take away the badge for the petty reasons stated in this proposal.

This. The proposal makes no reference to the resolution it repeals, other than the name and number, Also, it makes no sense to repeal a nation's commendation based on national statistics.

Fwiw, the status of slavery in my country is very similar to the American 13th Amendment:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.


Edit: And we have due process of law and liberal law, so it's not like we're enslaving people for the crime of being of a specific race or political ideology. They're just prison work programs.

Edit 2: Like the commend states, we're currently at war with a number of slave states in an effort to further reduce the slave trade.

This proposal is complete garbage as the SC is not concerned with a Nation's internal politics and laws. Against.

Again, this. Commendations and Condemnations are for international acts e.g. liberations/raiding, promotion of goodwill, but not internal acts. Plus, technically all the slavery and malnutrition are RP.
This is my signature. The old one was odd.

Against. Both for the rules violation, and for the fact that the SC doesn't make a habit of repealing commends based on nation stats.
