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.

The Tal got shit on a lot throughout history and are still second-class citizens in a lot of countries in the world my nation is in, so it would make sense to learn about at least a few of the massacres they've been subject to. But we really don't need to know that a thousand years ago in North Tenahuari, Village A wiped out Village B all the way down to the livestock, only for most of the region to die of plague a few decades later."

"Or, alternatively, we can allow nations to teach history in a way that is appropriate for their curriculum and not dictate the teaching of meaningless historical trivia to individuals who have no need for it? If a student wishes to pursue this kind of information, they'll self-educate or take the necessary history courses to learn about it. This would be better reorganized into a policy to avoid suppression of historical atrocities, rather than a promotion of their promulgation. That would be far less invasive."

The Fauxian ambassador (OoC: should name soon in sig) attempts to dodge the bottle, but it hits his hand in the process. He goes to the medical wing, before his intern says "What is the difference between mandating and suppression prevention in this case?" He chucks a pie at Bell.

"'Misconstruing'"United Massachusetts wrote:Ahem...I present the updated version--Prevention of Denialism, which effectively prevents the state from misconstruing the reality of atrocities, genocides, or war crimes. I'll update the preamble later per the new topic, but are the clauses themselves tolerable for those here?

The pie and scotch bottle were not thrown at the same timeDeropia wrote:Jason can't help but laugh as the scotch bottle and pie fly through the air of the chamber. "Ah, this place may be a mad-house...but its the best damn posting I've ever had..." He chuckles again as he reads over the revised draft.
"This looks agreeable...I have to say, I like the change from mandating changes to our current curriculum. I believe that preventing governments from skewing the facts surrounding genocide and the other atrocities mentioned, or worse yet glorifying them, is a noble endeavor. I look forward to seeing the full draft."

Forbids the deliberate spread of the denial or "revisionism" of a genocide, war crime, or atrocity on behalf of a World Assembly member nation, by any means
