Really? I guess we've just living in a reverse Golden rule then. I specifically wrote them all to include the same inattentive assertions that you so commonly employ. In fact, it's even built on the same semantic structure as your response! Assert something about moral philosophy, assert the...

Wow. I really did call it exactly. Foremost, the entire discussion on the GA forums was OOC, so there's no much ground to backpedal on. I happen to agree with the opinion delivered by the ECHR, the 'statist claptrap', if I recall correctly. No, it isn't. Talk about 'aspersions' right here, when...

Then we have a fundamental disagreement of the role of the state in society. It is the duty of the state to socialise its members. It is the duty of the state to ensure that portions of society are not so isolated from each other that they can start civil conflict. It is the duty of the state to...

"The court stressed that the decisive point was not whether home education was equally as effective as primary school education, but that compulsory school attendance required children from all backgrounds in society to gather together. . . . The applicant parents could not be permitted to keep...

I'm unclear on what exactly is the lack of disagreement you claim exists. Your proposal grants parents the right to homeschool. The ECHR dismissed Konrad's case petitioning for the right to homeschool. I think that's a clear disagreement. Okay. Even if that is the case, that doesn't mean that...

So? Your proposal creates a right for parents to homeschool. Re: (I'm too lazy to go back for the quote) Other things about whether or not education is a right. Okay. It's a right. Is choice in education a right? And does that choice extend to what school is attended, rather than simply, as the...

Cross-posted from Europeia's forums. On the topic, I have a few thoughts. First is whether or not the matter is really an international issue. I don't really believe it is. The preamble of the resolution is coached in the language of universal rights, but those rights aren't universal. This ties...

I've noted this on the WALL Discord chat's IFV drafting channel, but it seems to me that the existing GA resolution 'Food and Drug Standards' already requires that nations put safety labels on foods and drugs sold in their borders, which to me, seems to include tobacco. Given that is the case...

I will note that this proposal is now in queue. Also, I will also note that the primary purpose of this proposal, creating a centralised database for various medical texts, was already achieved years ago by the Universal Library Coalition, founded in this resolution by Mousebumples. I struggle...

Below is a copy of the campaign telegram I sent to all delegates those delegates which don't block campaign telegrams.

Why exactly are you voting against this resolution? I realise that for ABC, that may have to do with the fact that their currently drafted resolution would become illegal for duplication, but writ large, I cannot see any major flaws with the resolution as currently proposed.

WA proposal link: https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=imperium_anglorum_1489638177 WA forum thread: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=405074 I should note that this resolution has been approved by the delegates of TNP and IDU, and the World Assembly...

This authority is granted the ability to issue fines against anyone who provides Internet access, including national governments. It is granted the ability to do so without any limits and with far-reaching discretion.

9(a-c) are capitalised whilst none of the other alphabetised sections are capitalised. Is it not the case that clause 7 does not require the existence of clause 6? It would be simpler and less intrusive to have government registration required only if some firm wants to export armaments.

Kaboom, if you're still pursuing this, I'm somewhat concerned about the comments which Gruen made as Schutzen-whatever-phalia and West Ruk-something-land on Europeia's Vinage drafting centre. I remember posting something similar to this on the GA forums recently. SP noted at the time that there...

I think it's probably a good idea, honestly. There has to be a tradeoff between admin work time and the benefits to a region. If a process such as this could be automated, that would be one thing, but it required tons of time for everyone to – which seems an unfair tradeoff if there is so little...

Ah, thank you, I must have mixed my constitutions up. There have been attempts in the past.

Hello from Europe with an update, courtesy of the Foreign Office! Larger than ever! The government has continued to send out recruitment telegrams at a blistering pace. Over the last few months, over 10 thousand recruitment telegrams have been sent to new players. And those telegrams have...

I've got to agree, but I do think there are practical considerations in his government. Losing a referendum such as this as such a high level certainly does mean an issue with his conception of Italy. It seems that this would basically be a three-line whip if it were in Parliament.

I believe the repeal of this resolution to have missed the point (a repeal which also failed spectacularly before it was passed). This is for three reasons. 1. It would be ridiculous for the World Assembly to mandate any kind of action of this import without also making it easier to follow. If...

This is actually impossible. The SC cannot do that, and even if it did have such power, it would never get exercised (oh, and we would have to condemn everyone). No committee is created called Compliance Commission. The establishment clause (§ 1) says "Establishes and empowers the WACC", so no...

This is my residential IP address. I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of Cyril Parsons, pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no...

What if I don't have immediate access to my domestic ISP and would be using an academic IP address for most everything?

A future resolution to establish a court would require the repeal of On Universal Jurisdiction, which has been in the works for some time. The reason why it was not added to this resolution is because doing so would violate On Universal Jurisdiction. Secondarily, its non-inclusion makes it...

I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of Cyril Parsons, pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war...

I would like to note that the proposal is not illegal per the ruling delivered by the GA secretariat here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=30574358#p30574358. What the proposal does, to be clear, is create an investigative commission. Foremost to the goal of stopping war crimes...

Could any of you elucidate the reasons for your opposition to the proposal?

I ought note that Ransium's proposal has been removed for a category violation. It will not be coming to quorum any time soon.

Europe has voted against the resolution at vote due to its WA campaign. I recall that The North Pacific is a signatory of the WA Accord Against Campaign Spam. To maintain the credibility of the coalition, I recommend (if you would permit me the honour) that the North Pacific vote against the...

After some time and a number of polls which failed to reach the quorum requirements necessary to pass and implement the relevant embassy request, a poll has been held which meets that requirement. The government, taking that advisement from the people of Europe, has requested an embassy, which...
