Well... this was a little difficult for me to make sense of, to be honest. There is a portion of this proposal which needs to be deleted, if you ask me.

"(II) That displaced persons have rights that are not unabridged by their status and that these rights be proclaimed inalienable and enumerated by this Assembly as
(a) freedom from discrimination due to their status, political, philosophical, religious beliefs, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, or other such characteristic that preclude the persecution of,
(b) freedom of speech and practice their religion and to the education of their children of their religious belief,
(c) right of due process of law and access to courts,"

I think you meant to say 'abridged.' Most of the above is re-itterating things like the CoCR. You really don't need to put this in here. I think we all recognize these things as fact by now.

Furthermore... just for clarity, what are you trying to do with this proposal, anyway? Is it some sort of 'Right to Immigration'?

[Philimbesi]

Also I'm not sure you can dictate what the committee make up is.

[Absolvability]

Also I'm not sure you can dictate what the committee make up is.

"Convention, the WACDP High Commissioner shall:
(1) be delegated responsibility with the observance of this Convention by this Assembly,
(2) ensure the organization, policy, plans, and programs of his Commission and report to this Assembly for the performance of the WACDP,
(4) act as an agent of this Convention of carrying into effect, the articles of this Convention and where resolutions pertaining to his office is exclusive,"

In other words all of this should be deleted? The committee does what it does... and we shall never see the faces of these international peoples. There is no High Commissioner, so to speak. And uhm... another thing... 1, 2, 4? WHAT'S THE MISSING CLAUSE!? IT COULD BE IMPORTANT!!

Any committee that is created are staffed by simply mystical beings that spring into life to do the job. I think job titles may not be within the rules, anyway, here's what the WA proposal rules say:

Creating Stuff

Committees may be created, as long as certain things are kept in mind: nations do not sit on committees, they are staffed by mystical beings that instantly spring into existance and live only to serve on said committee. Committees are also bound by the above MetaGame rules. Also, keep in mind that Committees are additions to Proposals; they shouldn't be all the Proposal does.

Also, I have trouble figuring out what "DNS" stands for. Next time, please post the proposal here for proper feedback before jumping into the submissions box. Thanks.

Yours,

[Absolvability]

Heh. Yeah, I don't know what DNS stands for either. Though this proposal might've created the WACDP twice.

Seriously though... possible illegalities and technicalities aside, has anybody really made heads or tails of this? Nearest I can figure, it's a 'right to immigration' proposal. You know what? Scratch that. I have no idea what's going on here.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

I think the illegality may be the format.

Remember where I mentioned needing more than rhetoric? Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. This also includes Repeals with no argument, Proposals that are questions ("Don't you think we should...?"), and Proposals that are just too incomprehensible to make sense of. I realise that not everybody speaks English as a first language (or at all, for that matter). Unfortunately, NS is a game in English. If you cannot compose in proper English, seek the help of somebody (hint-hint, run it through an online translator and post here for clean-up). A Proposal won't be nuked for the occasional typo, but if I have to spend a good chunk of time trying to figure out what's going on, it'll be nuked.

Proposals written entirely in other languages are out, too.

Yours,

[Saxon Amer cest Helix]

My apologies for the confusion: DNS stands for domicile nation state, the place where which the displaced person is currently residing/located. The full context of it was inadvertently deleted maybe because of the character limitations.
