I, Separatist Peoples, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as WA Minister, 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...

Bloody hell, I forgot I switched nations... I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of Infectious Microorganisms, 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...

It blocks any attempt at WA oversight over noncompliance. It absolutely blocks any meaningful attempt at a court system, because it can't supersede any member state's jurisdiction. As for the requirement to charge with appropriate severity? This is the World Assembly. It would hardly be the...

I strongly advise a vote against. By refusing to allow a WA court at all, this blocks future legislation that might create arbitration courts to settle disputes. Moreover, this bill, by excluding the WA's guaranteed impartiality, allows the ability to engage in outright corruption by removing...

The entire point of not defining war crimes was so that a continuous list could be made through future resolutions instead of bickering over a list that would have to be totally comprehensive in only 3500 characters!

I genuinely want to support this. I might have been able to if it had another, hell, week of editing. CP rushed it to vote to beat UD, which was unfortunate. I still think that the WA needs to have a hand in the trying of criminals against humanity or committers of war crimes. UD allows for a...

This is my opinion exactly. I intend to vote against.

I don't think I currently have a vote, but, as a WA advisor, I'd recommend a Nay vote. It isn't a bad idea, but CD didn't fully take into account instances such as contract work where the labor and manufacturing is done in one jurisdiction and then completed within another, which has no formal...

Totally Against. This was incredibly short in drafting and fails to deal with necessary exceptions, such as the expenditure of military ordinance, or fuel dumping for those craft in imminent danger of catastrophically failing. This needed a lot more time in the drafting phase, and should not be...

Just a heads up, my new TNP Nation is Infectious Microorganisms. http://www.nationstates.net/nation=infectious_microorganisms

Against.

That's an unfair characterization of my decision making in the extreme. I made it perfectly clear of my technical concerns with the resolution, and I pointed out only that my experience with Auralia makes me leery, not summarily opposed. Auralia, while that may be the norm in real life, I...

Against. I don't like the time-span it requires to respect patents. It seems pretty focused on fields, such as pharmaceuticals, where a long amount of time goes between filing and release of the product. 20 years is a long time for some fields, especially when there are issues regarding...

So, for the recommendation, I obviously think we ought to encourage TNP to vote for. :P As author, I'm biased, but I think its important to point out to voters that, while nations are unable to counterfeit, they receive both protection from other nations' counterfeiting, as well as support from...

Against.

For. I like Chester :P

Against!

This just made quorum, so no worried about leaping over firearms in a proverbial sense. I don't think it would be fair for me to do more then express my support for this. :)

I can see the benefit of merging the discussion and recommendation threads, but I think the real issue is lead time for the officials to get on and post a recommendation, what with RL being an omnipresent factor. Starting the recommendation thread before or just as the draft is submitted is a...

Ok, let's do this again now I'm not traveling, shall we? I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of Separatist Peoples, 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...

Code: Justice (select 1): < abstain > Would you like to reopen nominations? < No >

Against, though I'm glad CP got it to quorum without it being unfairly yanked this time.

If the ICC still existed, I'd recommend a recommendation TG FOR, as its fairly unrestrictive, but, in light of an utter lack of accountability for war criminals and crimes against humanity, it seems fairly pointless. Without such a mechanism to punish violators, and because there are so many...

The response was especially nasty from DSR, who has a strong, negative opinion about everything done in the GA these days, and Chester Pearson, who is acerbic by nature. Considering your clarification later in the thread, I don't think the average GA regular has as nasty an opinion as those two...

Defwa has some great ideas, but, regrettably, submitted this before it was ready, I think. She has something of a vendetta against players who use WA puppets, and tried to shoehorn it in there, as well. I've voted against.

Hello, everybody, pleasure to be here! Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Separatist Peoples! I was invited to serve on the WA Affairs Ministry, so I hope to get to know more of the regulars here! Feel free to say hello, here or on Nationstates, I'm always up for a Telegram!

Sorry for the double post, computer lagged...
