Vagabundas wrote:Calderax wrote:"A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights" - More like a resolution to impose WA Tyranny on individual nationstates.
While Clause 2. leaves it to individual states to decides who is able to enter into contracts ("any person who a nation regards as competent"), the latter clauses completely spits on this sham of any kind of freedom for individual states.
Clause 3 essentially states, "The WA can regulate your nation's contracts or agreements."
Clause 4 essentially states, "You must enforce the rules/regulations which the WA can/will regulate."
Clause 5 essentially states, "The WA, in addition to regulating rules and regulations of contracts, can also regulate the medium in which contracts are considered valid."
This resolution is absolutely ridiculous. It's pure tyranny wrapped in a pretty name, declaring that it will provide human and civil rights, but it does NOTHING BUT PROVIDE POWER TO THE WA over what goes on inside individual nationstates.
Calderax votes AGAINST.
Actually, I don't think this bill is giving such power to the World Assembly and I suggest that the Honorable Delegate of Calderax should read this proposal again.
Yours,

Relevant areas indicated. "collective WA action" I assume means another resolution by the WA. So, essentially, Sir Vagabundas, this resolution opens the door to more WA regulation of contracts within member nations.
Clause 3 indicates that the WA may impose resolutions regulating "certain contracts...if doing so is [in] some compelling interest;" --notice the very vague "some"... So, we're looking at a bill that opens the door for more regulation being shoved through easily due to "some" compelling interest of the WA collective body.
Clause 5 does the same; introduces further guarantees for more imposing regulations on individual member nations, which Clause 4 then forces us to enforce on our own dime.

Its a human rights proposal, and I fear if I vote in favor of too many of those boogers, y'all will start to think that I've become softer than a sneakerfull of grits. However I don't deeply despise it down in the cockles of my blackened soul, so i'm willing to comprimise. For the right fiduciary incentive I will change my vote to a yea....or if the price is right I'll keep it as a negative. Its your choice fellow ambassadors, and remeber all gifts are non-refundable, and in God I trust, but all others must pay cash!"
At this point the good but unwholesome senator reaches under his desk to grab his large empty Fine Yeldan pickle jar(TM), which he then places on the desk.

Therefore, we cannot vote in favor of this act.
Very well. I should expect that many pro-socialism nations might hear the word "contract" and run for the hills. While I think it's clear that the Act in no way infringes upon the policy goals of socialist and communist nations, I'll (try to) refrain from offering further defenses of this kind. Nations are perfectly capable of reading the resolution and coming to their own conclusions about its merits.

Some ambassadors get so catty when it becomes clear that their position is utterly detached from that of the majority.

The legislation states the agreement of a contract to only be between individuals, at no point does it state, or is legally binding to corporations, governments or other such organisations.
As a union we perceive this to be a major and damning flaw and will oppose this legislation until such time as it is removed from the world stage.

Clause 3 is a Nat Sov friendly clause, what are you talking about? "member nations - either individually or through collective WA action - may regulate ..." Doesn't say the WA may regulate.
By the way, the WA can do whatever it feels like doing. If you don't like it, vote against it or leave. But that's what you agreed to when you joined the WA.Calderax wrote:Clause 5 essentially states, "The WA, in addition to regulating rules and regulations of contracts, can also regulate the medium in which contracts are considered valid."
CLAUSE 5 says "MEMBER NATIONS"... CLAUSE 5 says "MEMBER NATIONS"
Please out down whatever it is you are smoking ... it is clearly bad stuff.
Pleae do not confuse nat sov clauses with int fed clauses; you only look like an ass when you do and most asses don't want to be associated with you.
