Declaration on the Right to Self-Determination
A resolution to express a position on international affairs.Category: Declaration...Proposed by: Tinhampton
THE SECURITY COUNCIL:
RECOGNISING that previous resolutions have asserted that regions involved in raiding - even if they do not uphold any other particularly objectionable ideologies - ought not to be allowed to raid;
BELIEVING, however, that any attempt to stop raiders from raiding simply because they raid would severely jeopardise the livelihoods of countless nations and regions (including those who insist upon defending innocent founderless regions from attack), thereby destroying modern geopolitics in hand with the guidelines-based international order; and
SEEKING to retain the balance of power between raiders, defenders and natives that most regions in most parts of the multiverse have enjoyed for most of known existence:
HEREBY:
- DECLARES that all regions which have an executive World Assembly Delegate (WAD) - and thus the ability to be raided - and which have not historically posed a clear danger to the most vulnerable nations have the right to be defended from attack, where such defending would be in the interests of those organising the defence and the international community as a whole;
- URGES all regions not to unduly interfere with the right of other regions to freely exercise their own internal and foreign policy, no matter how unpopular that policy may be, except where such interference is necessary to prevent clear and ongoing harm to the newest and most vulnerable nations;
- CLARIFIES that this Declaration makes no judgments about the morality of invading regions with executive WADs, and that neither raiding nor defending as acts in themselves (isolated from any political ideology) pose any danger to vulnerable nations; and
- SUGGESTS that world leaders not call for the abolition of ideologies such as raiding and Independentism simply because adherents of these ideologies often attack regions that pose no danger to the most vulnerable nations, for doing so would also lead to the abolition of defenderism.
