Unfortunately that's just where my issue lies. I cannot support a proposal on this topic unless member states are given the ability to fully prohibit the technology within their territory, due to the ethical issues involved.
I understand that nations are not required to develop or import this technology if they are not capable, but the phrasing that "No individual shall be denied the right..." leads me to believe that there is a reasonable legal argument that can be made by an individual to demand their government...
This proposal is on a very much still speculative technology IRL. You don’t need to be a bioethicist to know that there are plenty of ethical issues associated with copying someone’s brain and uploading it to another body. Since clause 2 of the proposal essentially requires this speculative...

The 12-hour-long challenge period has now passed, and the Election Commission is now ready to vote on whether or not to certify the March 2025 Judicial Election Results as given to them by the Election Supervisors, per Section 4, Clause 10 of the Election Commission Rules:

The more I look at our existing system, the more I'm convinced that defendants gaming the system is not a result of a "Byzantine heavily rules based system", but a result of two different issues. The first is a culture that has been built over the years that makes gaming the system pretty much...
A large part of Pallaith's post was about how we don't need to reflect the real world and aiming for a just resolution should be the ultimate goal. Some of what he said was:
I understand that, as you said, there can be no perfect system. But do you really believe that our system should be a...
Since the Justice elections have begun, I was reminded of this post so I wanted to ask - if you believe the issues with our Justice system are mostly procedural, why do you seemingly believe it is broken beyond repair? The court procedures can be amended by the Justices, and you have served...
Given your allusions to lost faith in our Justice system, I'm sure you are aware that a few weeks ago @Pallaith had called our justice system a "sham and an international joke" and described what he believed to be the flaws of the system, partially in response to a proposed bill of yours. Do you...
A few weeks ago @Pallaith had called our justice system a "sham and an international joke" and described what he believed to be the flaws of the system. Do you agree with his opinions? If so, what do you think are the potential steps that the Court can take to address them? If you don't agree...

It doesn't really matter if people float in and out of threshold, because the only time it needs to be checked is when someone actually applies, which is not very frequent. Also, the endorsement requirement for an eligible application is already a floating requirement, being 50% of the...
A few months ago @Sil Dorsett made this observation in his Vice Delegate's report:
I'm not sure how many people saw this, I personally only found it some time later because I accidentally changed pages while viewing the Vice Delegate's Desk thread and this was conveniently located at the bottom...
