For. The resolution is limited in its aims and would appear to achieve them. Preventing an employer from controlling a worker’s immigration status is a good thing to do. Clearly the resolution doesn’t prevent the member state from making wider decisions about its immigration system, such as the...

Abstain. The criticism of the REQUIRES clause as being the only mandatory provision overlooks that the clause effectively allows the WAFC to mandate appropriate requirements by not approving logging that does not meet such guidelines and standards as it establishes. I don’t agree with the...

Abstain. For the most part, I think it is a worthy resolution. I am uneasy about a requirement that member states permit punitive damages, rather than the damages being compensatory only. The point about prior involvement could be misconstrued but a reading directed towards having previously...

Against. These are matters, save for the exception of endangered animals, which ought to be left to member states to determine, as the target resolution properly does. The criticism of clause 5.C(v) of the target resolution seems to me to be apt, as I would think the 99 year limit sufficient of...

Nation: Zyvetskistaahn I pledge loyalty to The North Pacific and its territories, 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 against the North...

Brief I apologise for the late filing and, if it pleases the Court, would submit the following brief: This brief will first raise an issue of jurisdiction which it is submitted the Court ought to resolve before considering the substantive issues discussed. It will then go on to address the...

Though I am grateful for the nomination, I must decline.

I, Zyvetskistaahn, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Bar Commissioner, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code in a legal...

Aye. Given that makes it an absolute majority for Aye and we have all voted or abstained, I end this vote early. Clearly we will need to inform the Chief Justice of the selection, I would also be minded to say that we should publish this thread if you both are agreed?

I think this is a fair choice, it would be difficult to narrow it and maintain the flexibility generally around executive officers. My thought on a way around it would be to allow the Delegate to specify on appointment which executive officers would count but I do not think it is too much of a...

I have some points concerning the mechanism for the Delegate being declared absent by the Executive Officers and the Vice Delegate. The main one is whether this is intended to cover all those who are Executive Officers or some sub-set? Presumably, Ministers are definitely supposed to be...

We are in a bit of a tough spot without any other members of the bar. I am somewhat surprised that only Dreadton has applied. Obviously, it is a matter for you if you want to apply for membership Viv. I would say that if Dreadton does want to be Justice again then it would probably be best for...

I am glad to see engagement with the Commission’s decisions. I and, I believe, my fellow Commissioners recognise we are in the early days of implementing the application process and expect it to be subject to revision, so input from the Assembly would help me in that and, I would think, my...

Following appointment and oath, can I be masked as Deputy Speaker?

I, Zyvetskistaahn, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Deputy Speaker, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code in a legal...

Congratulations to the victors, commiserations to Bobberino and RON.

Against. Primarily due to clauses 7, which appears to require the receiving state to create new rights, privileges and duties benefitting or burdening (as the case may be) affected inhabitants over the citizens/residents of the state prior to the transition. While I can appreciate the aim here...

I am not entirely sure I follow why this bill is needed for the purpose set out. At the moment, Gameside Advocates are government officials if the Delegate appoints them and this issue could be solved by the Delegate making those appointments rather than leaving them to the Lead Gameside...

Against. I do not like insta-repeals and I am unconvinced by the core argument. Best interests is, necessarily, a difficult concept to define as it must encompass such a wide range of factors and will always leave a significant area of judgment for the courts of member states. While the...

Congratulations to the victors and commiserations to the defeated.

I would be inclined to agree with Pallaith that revoking a treaty should need the involvement of the Delegate, essentially for the reasons set out by COE in the debate linked by Pallaith. I am not overly concerned with the threshold but would say that, if revocation were left to the Assembly...

At the moment the law allows for a state of war to exist as a result of another region’s declaration or acts (if the Assembly deems them to have done so), the change would remove that. Obviously, a declaration of war could be made by the Delegate and approved in response to another region’s...
