    [GA - PASSED] Repeal: “Fairness in Collective Bargaining”

    IFV Overview The at-vote proposal seeks to repeal GA resolution #530 “Fairness in Collective Bargaining”, arguing that although admirable in its goals, the original resolution uses vague terminology that could easily be worked around, harming the rights of workers rather than protecting them...

    [SC - WITHDRAWN] Condemn Frenchy

    It displeases me to see the more official aspects of NS being made into a joke. I hope TNP doesn't end up favoring this because to me that would just be embarrassing. Against

    [GA - PASSED] Supporting People with Disabilities

    I do wish that proposals would stop using language of modern critical theory in framing its proposals, but once again the good of the proposal outweighs my dislike for the language. Not everything has to be framed in terms of expressing rights or the oppressed / oppressor dichotomy. We can treat...

    What's your current goal in NationStates?

    Whoever created this thread is a hero, and I applaud them. My goal is to come to know others and to create meaningful and actual community where I can even when the politics of the game may get in the way and disrupt that communal spirit. In particular, I like exploring meaningful topics and...

    [GA - PASSED] Military Death Penalty Ban

    I recognize the reasoning from the Hammurabi order of legal thought, but I like to think that law after the rise of Christianity supersedes that. A human who has committed grave evil acts is not really punished when their life is snuffed out. Sure there may be fear or an instant of pain but that...

    [GA - WITHDRAWN] Right to Peaceful Assembly

    Considering the two freedom of assembly resolutions side by side, I have decided to support this iteration over the other. I find this one gives a government greater breadth to defend the freedoms of its people compared to the other one which is very specific and therefore may run into loopholes...

    [GA - WITHDRAWN] Nuclear Aggression Act

    Using "nuke" as a verb in a formal resolution is discouraged. I also think there is a much more precise way to define nuclear weapon and map the relationship between WA nations in regard to nuclear armament. Generally, this could have been written better, and that is the first issue that stops...

    Executive Officer of Justice Act

    We recently abolished the Attorney General's office due to issues with activity and replaced it with a nominations process by the RA on a case by case basis, so I am unsure how convinced people would be to return to a similar model.

    [GA - PASSED] Right To Assemble

    Against I respect and affirm the need of a resolution that protects the right of assembly, but I believe this rendition to be too specific and therefore limiting to a WA that is thousands of nations large. That being said, a more specific issue I have is in section 5 clause 2 which includes...

    [GA - WITHDRAWN] Right to Peaceful Assembly

    Against The logistics and variables around what constitutes a lawful or good (not necessarily the same thing) protest are so vast that I find an extended attempt to codify it problematic. I think guaranteeing a right to assemble is enough for the WA to do while the individual nations can craft...

    [GA - FAILED] Protecting Sapient Life

    I still dislike the generic euphemistic name and rather we had one enforced document banning the death penalty in full. Seeing this is the currently best option I will vote for it but will not hesitate to repeal if a more efficient replacement comes about. I don't care who the author is if the...

    The RA Hand of Justice Amendment

    To @Sil Dorsett and @Lady Raven Wing perhaps a recall can hold a mandatory stay of hold office as LRW said. The question is whether that is on that particular office, all offices, and how long. There is also the issue of how the law understands the concept of office. It doesn't understand the...

    [GA - PASSED] Repeal: "Freedom of Assembly"

    I understand the sentiment, but I feel that written law will always be able to be interpreted in a way that was against its original intent. There could be fifty paragraphs to specifically define harm and yet even then it is a finite definition that someone could find a way to bend if they tried...
