The IAO ( International Aid Organization)

Postby New Cla » Thu May 18, 2017 4:19 pm

International aid can help a lot of people in developing countries but we can do much more if the world assembly has a organization helping distribute international aid and making sure it get their.

Article 1
- the IAO is founded
- the IAO distributes international aid and makes sure it gets their
- all nations in the world assembly have to give at least 0.5% of government spending to international aid

Article 2
- however the world assembly can dismiss the leader if he does any crimes and does not give a nation in need any international aid.

And therefore the IAO is now established. What do you think?

Wow. A whole 39 minutes.

By the way, it's illegal. Committee only. If you had given it a little more than 39 whole minutes, you could have avoided the embarrassment.

Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.

The Empire would never donate .5% to this committee. That's more then we donate to the general fund, which we consider is foreign aid. The Empire doesn't give money to GA institutions we do not use.

Submitted​ version also contradicts GA Res. #51.

This isn't an afternoon's random entertainment, it's​ a real project (yes, for a web browser game, but one that requires commitment to be any good at).

It contradicts GA Resolution #2, as well: The WA can not "remove" national leaders...

If the nation is classified as 'Anarchy' there still is a [strictly limited] national government... and those aren't "biker gangs", they're traditional cross-Clan 'Warrior Societies', generally respected rather than feared.

What is defined as a leader's "crimes"? Does it mean going out on the street, joining a gang to be "closer to the people", killing some random citizens, and finding themselves in court? Or does it just mean "refusing to give a nation foreign aid"?

Plus I can't help noticing the very specific wording of this clause. Because I am not a he. Neither is the leader of Calladan (when they were a member of The WA). So if this clause only applies to male leaders of The WA, does that mean both of us can go on genocidal rampages without being dismissed as leaders of our respective nations? Because that would be cool!

"Oh, good point. Our president is samar, so that wouldn't apply to them, either." Iksana flicks his tail. "If that's the leader the proposal refers to, Princess Winters. I suspect it really means the head of the IAO, which means that it's either saying that the leader of the IAO must be a man, which I believe is illegal by WA rules, or is trying to claim 'he' as a gender-neutral pronoun. Now, I admit my knowledge of this language is a bit less than perfect, but I'm almost certain that's not a true claim."
Trust Factbooks, not stats.

The Ambassador of Essu Beti is Iksana Gayan and he's an elf. He’s irritable and a damn troll and everything he says is IC only. I would never be so tactless OOC.

National News Radio: A large-scale infrastructure project will soon be underway. During this time, for safety reasons, the island will be closed to tourists and foreign news agents. We do expect a minor loss in revenue due to this, but this will be greatly offset by both the long and short-term benefits of the infrastructure project. If your job is negatively impacted by the island closure, please send a letter or verbal message via courier to the Council so that we can add you to the list of beneficiaries of foreign aid.

So no genocidal rampages for Lucinda and me? Well that blows. (On a related note, if neither of us can be appointed to head the IAO that is also kind of bad, and possibly the kind of thing that would trigger genocidal rampages, if you know what I mean :))
