The Shoebox Test: What do I mean by the BELIEVING clause? Imagine, in the far future, that all records relating to NationStates are destroyed, except for a single book containing the full text of every SC resolution which is hidden in a shoebox and buried in a field in your local area. What would you find out about the character (not necessarily the achievements) of the nominees if you were to unearth and read that book?
Anime Daisuki (see the post below this one) has "incredible attention to detail" and is renowned for her "persistence and diligence"; McMasterdonia's work as "a gifted diplomat... promoted peaceful collaboration" and also delivered "stability & unity within the North Pacific"; the Black Hawks are "aggressive" and have a record of "repeated, flagrant defiance of the [SC]'s mission"; Alasdair I Frosticus is "reli[able]... and well-respected by many other debaters" on the General forum. Kuriko, on the other hand, seemingly has very little going for her in SC#300 beyond a list of her achievements!
Repeal "Commend Kuriko"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.Category: RepealResolution: SC#300Proposed by: Tinhampton
Security Council Resolution #300 “Commend Kuriko” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
THE SECURITY COUNCIL:
ADAMANT that every resolution it passes should act as an accessible guide to the historical and present context and actions of its subject, combining a certain level of detail supported by empirical evidence with prompts for further research by world leaders into the subject's nature;
BELIEVING that Commendations and Condemnations should not just reel off a laundry list of their nominee's achievements, but also provide information about that nominee's behaviour; regretfully, although Kuriko is utterly deserving of recognition from this august body, the target resolution does not make its rationale apparent and it does not do their "outstanding contribution" to the international community justice;
CONCERNED that SC#300 refers to Kuriko's work using extremely broad terms that could be applied to many other nations - such as "administering the region’s assets," "training members of the government to effectively handle the coup," and "co-ordinating voting and discussion procedures" - without providing many examples to underscore their significance, or explaining why at all Kuriko (rather than any other nation) should be Commended for such work;
SCEPTICAL of the target resolution's claim that Kuriko's election as WA Secretary-General was a result of "their vision to create a better future for the World Assembly" as a whole organisation, when the Kurikoan campaign was in fact centred around strengthening the Security Council at the expense of the General Assembly;
HORRIFIED at the many sloppy errors contained within SC#300; such as its claim that Kuriko "has served served as a Tactical Officer for the The Thousand Islands Treaty Organisation," its argument that Kuriko's authorship of Liberate The Monarchist Entente "result[ed] in the stability of the region," and its recognition of the "world assembly voting bloc" organised by 10000 Islands;
REMINDING authors to take heed of every piece of commentary, criticism and complaint they are given in drafting and re-drafting their proposals; and
NOTING that a more detailed and efficiently-worded proposal to Commend Kuriko is currently being drafted, and will be brought to the attention of delegates after the passage of this repeal:
HEREBY REPEALS SC#300 "Condemn Kuriko."
