I am inclined to agree that this isn’t strictly necessary and that the Court would be unlikely to uphold misuse of the current clause 37. That said, I like the proposal to have the law clearly say the NPA is the region’s military, it feels weird that it doesn’t at the moment.
For.
I think some of the arguments made for the repeal are overblown, in particular, I don’t think it is right in terms of the effect of clause d of the target being to make all fatal uses of force necessarily murder, the target does not require a fatal use of force to be criminalised as being...
I agree that it could perhaps be restricted, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that just because one type of restriction (as punishment for a crime) on a right is justified that other restrictions on the same right are justified. The justification here would be due to interest in the outcome but...
I don't see any issue around whether or not the parties or the Justices vote. I would assume that the Justices would usually abstain, but, ultimately, if the vote is narrow enough that it will be decided by the votes of the parties or the Justices, then I am not sure it is one where the Assembly...
I am very glad to see this and all the progress that has been made in relation to declassification since the passage of the laws on this. Given I spent a fair amount of time annoying candidates and applicants over declassification, I do also want to say thank you to you, the Council, and the...
@Madeline Valois, at the moment, it seems we are waiting for the Speaker’s determination on whether your appeal is valid and, if determined not to be, on what is to be done about it.
While we are waiting for that, I wanted to let you comment on something that is troubling me about this...
I would be minded to vote against this proposal.
I don’t really see the harm done by including the example lists. They are all pretty obvious things that I would hope would be on people’s minds when considering disclosure but if they aren’t then the lists seem like a healthy reminder to me. If...
Brief
If it pleases the Court,
I submit this brief as amicus curiae to assist the Court, however, in the interest of transparency I note that I did give some assistance in terms of drafting to the Petitioner.
The Issues
It is submitted that the questions before the Court are: what limit is...
Nation in The North Pacific: Zyvetskistaahn
Ministry you are interested in joining: World Assembly Affairs
(Optional) Previous experience in this area of government: None, save for commenting on proposals as a resident/citizen.
Against.
While I think that this is an area which could usefully be subject to international standards, there are a number of issues with the proposal that lead me to think this is not the appropriate resolution for the job.
The definition of paid leave does not identify whether the payments...
Looking at this further, the HSB seems to me likely to be quite an ineffective entity. Obviously it is meant to be a monitoring mechanism for compliance with the Resolution, but the ability for it actually to monitor compliance seems very limited. It doesn’t have any power to investigate or...
@Tinhampton Could you answer a question I have about clause 1.c: when it refers to “the steps that employers in each sector of the economy must take to reduce these risks”, is it envisaged that member states would here be setting out existing obligations for employers or that member states would...
Nation: Zyvetskistaahn
I 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 against the North Pacific. I...
