Commend The Cat-Tribe
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
Category: Commendation | Nominee: The Cat-Tribe | Proposed by: Unibotian WA Mission
Description:
The World Assembly,
RECOGNIZING a civil, but nonetheless productive debate on the topic of Abortion in the World Assembly was the result of The Cat-Tribe’s resolution, the Reduction of Abortion (GA#44),
NOTING that the Reduction of Abortion (GA#44) respected national sovereignty on the issue of abortion’s legality, and made a groundbreaking compromise that as a result has permitted a comprehensive sex education to help reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in all member-nations,
FURTHER NOTING the countless lives that GA#44 has undoubtedly bettered in (1) nations with otherwise high obstetric death rates, (2) nations where the prohibition of Abortion would have been the source of more dangerous self-induced abortions,
BEARING IN MIND that the nominee recently returned to the hallowed halls of the World Assembly to ardently counter Christian Democrats and several of its allies during a resurgence of the Abortion debate in the World Assembly. The Cat-Tribe's presence in the debate was instrumental --alongside several other actors-- in establishing a compelling case against numerous prohibitive abortion proposals and an attempted repeal of GA#128,
APPLAUDING the constructiveness that can follow when debate is abetted with the decorum, civility and thoughtful meticulousness that The Cat-Tribe has demonstrated in the World Assembly, but also in general,
IMPRESSED that The Cat-Tribe has been awarded twice (an unchallenged feat) the ‘Grand Prix for General Debating’ award in the 8th and 10th presentation of a popular award ceremony that recognizes "excellency in the Fields of General Debating",
CELEBRATING the conduct demonstrated to receive this popular recognition, which includes:
- Not accepting assertions as fact, thus requiring proper research and citation. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
- Distinguishing between fact and opinion.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
- Seeking to uncover assumptions, unquestioned beliefs and faulty logic. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
- Distinguishing between connotative and denotative meaning. [1][2][3][4]
- Being open to new ideas. [1][2][3]
- Applying reason and logic to discussions. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
ACKNOWLEDGING The Cat-Tribe's thorough willingness --in the spirit of goodwill-- to thoughtfully share their expertise in Law upon request,
UNDERSTANDING that as an exemplary model of constructive, critical, informed and civil forum and general conduct, The Cat-Tribe will help future generations of NationStates establish further resolutions of peace and goodwill,
For the sake of posterity,
HEREBY COMMENDS The Cat-Tribe.
