And the compensation of artists for whom the WA is allowed to take artefacts?

Alright, the Secretariat finally posted their official ruling. The Majority ruled that the previous WA Peacekeeping Charter violated GA#2 for mandating that the Peacekeepers "prevent and end conflict", which 4 of the Council members believed was a violation of GA#2's Article 10. This means...

This right here is an incomplete understanding of the GA rules. Expanding the mandate of WA Committees is not illegal for amendments, in fact, the WADB has has its duties expanded before (in GA#289 Radiological Terrorism). Looking through the numerous GA resolutions, I am sure you will find many...

Thank you for your feedback so far. I intend to do everything I can to develop a well crafted resolution on this issue. I understand your concerns about the preamble. It was drafted almost immediately after it became clear that WA Peacekeeping Charter was going to be defeated, and was a snipe...

In the wake of the astounding defeat of WA Peacekeeping Charter, it's become clear I need the support of super delegates next time around to stand a chance. I have posted the current draft here for review. I will be drafting this across multiple region's forums, so the version on the NS forums...

Glen-Rhodes did not suggest that until after I had submitted it. In fact, no one suggested I file a challenge against my own proposal beforehand. Under the mods, I never had to file a GHR against my own proposal before submitting it. That was not a complaint I got the previous 4 times I went...

The proposal in question was in drafting for months, with Glen-Rhodes and other GenSec members commenting on the proposal. Legality questions were raised repeatedly and I addressed them. The proposal reaching quorum overnight was not my fault. I simply ran a campaign like anyone else. The new...

Let me assure you, outlawing war is not my intention at all. I want to outlaw the use of the WA as a weapon of war, and I want WA member nations to be able voluntarily ask for assistance in peacemaking and peacekeeping. But outlawing war is certainly not my intent. For those who are not aware...

This particular aspect of legality is currently being debated on the GA forums here. The General Assembly Secretariat has not yet ruled on it, but most likely will. I argue that many of the specific actions of the WA Peacekeepers have been given to WA committees in the past (for example, before...

How can I get the support of The North Pacific for this resolution?

Don't you find it at least slightly disturbing that of the two For votes here, one expressed a desire for less restrictions?

My TNP nation, Silent Fleet, CTE'd, but I have revived it. Wasn't sure if I should post here or the citizen app thread.

Well then, Doggle is obviously not a "healthy, normal adult human", right? Let's say Doggle is mentally handicapped. Now then, he may not be sapient, but he is still a human, and so deserves the rights given to mentally disabled humans. He will get those rights. He still did not pass, however...

They wouldn't. If they have the same mental capacity as a human, they are sapient. How is it preferential that the mentally ill are "grandfathered" (a misuse of the term, as grandfather implies some induction based on a tradition) in? They are of the same species as other sapient beings, and...

I have checked the main page numerous times. You don't explain what is wrong with the definition of sapient being as I have written it, you simply claim that a being could be " too smart" to be sapient (how?) and then some pretty difficult to understand argument about non-humans being left out...
