1. Prohibiting all member-nation’s government from directly authorizing, encouraging or enforcing the publication of propaganda materials that refer to another nation and its political identity, a political representative of another nation or its military;
Would calling another government an "illegitimate junta" be considered propaganda? What about calling the neighbouring dictator a "strongman" or a "tyrant"?
(a) Propaganda as the dissemination of rhetoric aimed to influence a community’s perception toward some cause or position, by conveniently omitting any convincing and obvious counter-argument,
If the above is to be the working definition of propaganda it seems that it would be made illegal for a Foreign Ministry Spokesman to refer to an illegitimate leader who may, for example, commit crimes against humanity as a tyrant. Maybe he built a hospital or two for sick children - would the spokesman have to reference that in order to avoid "conveniently omitting" a counter-argument? 'Tyrant' carries connotations that would "influence a community's perception," so must it be avoided as well?
While the resolution by and large is well-crafted, the Serri delegation feels strongly that changes should be made to the definition of "propaganda" with the above argument in mind.
