Congress of the ILN

[Anduk Hessen]

ILN Mainpage: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=525311&p=40050633#p40050633
Where the bills go after being discussed to be voted on: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=525312
A place where all members of the International League of Nations come together to debate issues, filibuster, delcare stump speeches and other political motives.
As such one must navigate itself through the waters to survive

Let the 1st Congress of the ILN come into session!

[Anduk Hessen]

I would like to put a bill on the floor


Resolution Bill:

Condemn Niratania

I.i.a. For general disregard for human life
ii.b For the disregard of cultures and languages.
II.i.a. For the aggressiveness shown towards anyone who thinks differently than him.
III.i.a Embargo Niratania as soon as the law passes.
Thus this short bill in discussion would condemn Niratania and would keep them from coming into the alliance.
Any other things you want to attach can be done so

[Polonium]

It's got a Yes vote

[Anduk Hessen]

It's got a Yes vote

Honorable Judge, I assure you that we understand your footing with this bill right now. But this is purely a discussion floor.

Oh ok.

If you have bill ideas to put across that would be wonderful to hear. I just dont believe my bill is completely ready to leave the floor.

New bill proposal:


It would fall under Congress:

II.iv.d When a member of Congress (eg. anyone) wants to move a proposed bill from the Congress floor to the voting bloc, they must state how long the bill will run for and also must have the signature of at least three nations.

I can accept a diplomatic settlement, but our alliance should not take sides.
I'm against.

Prisoner and Criminal Rights Act

In order to combat the abuse of prisoners, I've written this resolution. This resolution aims to eliminate the terrible treatment of incarcerated individuals, as well as give everyone a fair trial. All member states must follow the clauses of this resolution (if it is passed).

I.) A citizen of any member state has the right to a fair trial.
II.) If possible, a public defender will be sent to a criminal currently in trial if they are impoverished or cannot hire a private lawyer. If the defendant wishes to represent themselves, they aren't sent a public defender. In cases where the government cannot send a public defender, anyone may volunteer to represent the person.
III.) No incarcerated individual will be placed in solitary confinement for more than 30 consecutive days, and may not be placed in solitary confinement for more than 60 days in a 120 day period.
IV.) Incarcerated individuals must have access to basic medical care and medication.
V.) Incarcerated individuals must have hygienic living conditions. Thus, prisoners must be able to shower at least once every two days, they must have their bedding cleaned at least once a week, they must have a toilet and sink, and they must have access to clean food and water. Prisoners must also have access to a pair of clean clothes, and these clothes must be washed at least bi-daily.
VI.) No individual that has obvious signs of insanity may be imprisoned, and must undergo psychiatric evaluation to determine whether or not they should be sent to a mental hospital or a prison.
VII.) No incarcerated individual will be unfairly discriminated against due to their race, sex, or views.
VIII.) Incarcerated individuals must have standard legal protections.
IX.) Incarcerated individuals may be subject to corporal punishment, but may not undergo it repeatedly (for more than a 6 hour period).

Discuss, give signatures, bring this to the voting bloc!!!

Remember, prisons are to reform and punish, not torture. Prisoners are citizens too!

Thexaelen doesn't seem to have any issues with the resolution so far, and is interested to hear others opinions.

This is a good act, and I will fully support it when it comes to voting.

If positive feedback continues, I'll bring this to the voting bloc in about an hour or two.

Should I bring this to the Voting Bloc? I believe it may be ready...

I believe yes,

[Thexaelen]

So I accidentally posted this yesterday directly to the Voting Bloc instead of the Congress, and then made minor changes, it would help if I was informed exactly of any issues this new bill. presents.

Official ILN peacekeeping Arbitration Forces Bill (R.2)

Partially in light of the chaos the war between the Republic of Nuevo maya & the united states of niratania had caused, aswell as rousing unrest experianced by multiple nations, Thexaelen feels compelled to establish a formal governing body, dedicated to exclusively to assisting those suffering the consequences of war & maintaining peace throughout the ILN. If successfuly passed, member states will adhere to articles below.

I. The Peacekeeping Arbitration Forces(from now on will be referred to as the PAF) Shall be established as the ILN's primary Peacekeeping branch.

II. The PAF shall be overseen by a triumvirate consisting of the current league president, vice-president & Minister of defenses, or its own exclusive council if so.

III. Unless for a "just" purpose, such as waging war against those who commit crimes against humanity as an example, All nations should attempt to settle arguments or disputes with diplomatic and/or peaceful means before turning to violence

IV. All members with active armed forces shall be required to give a minimum of 1K troops to become PAF troops

V. This bill cannot impair a members right counter-attack & defend in the worst case scenario of a foreign Invasion

VI. Along the same lines of article V, if a member state requests it, the PAF can atleast attempt to provide a resolution to any armed conflicts members are involved in, likely one that benefits the member state.

VII. If war happens, the PAF can decide to send troops to mostly provide humanitarian relief, and to help the main military in defenses if the situation calls for it.

VIII. If a member state requests it,The PAF can decide to (temporarily) blockade or start demonstrations against nations that are attacking or displaying extremely aggressive behaviour towards members.

IX. Finally, member states may inquire of any issues regarding this bill and seek to have them resolved.

I really, really dislike article three. Otherwise, it looks ok. Also I think you should do a percentage of troops instead of a set number to send to the PAF.
