[DRAFT] Commend Morrdh

[Robespierre]

Commend Morrdh
Category: Commendation | Nominee: Morrdh | Proposed by: Francois Isidore​

The Security Council,

Acknowledging the Commonwealth of Morrdh as being a State historically committed to the works of a more perfect world; those of which align with the World Assembly's mission.

Highlighting the Commonwealth of Morrdh’s staunch commitment towards upholding national sovereignty on a regional level within Greater Dienstad, as can be seen via the display of various humanitarian efforts assumed by Morridane establishments.

Noting the campaigns of the Commonwealth of Morrdh to remove atomic weapons from its own arsenal and act in the spirit of promoting a tone of peace and prosperity on a universal scale by moving towards nuclear disarmament.

Praising the creation of the Commonwealth Colonial Authority (CCA); a multinational organization that sought to better equip and prepare the world on Earth for space travel and exploration into the next half-century by offering up programmes such as the "Weymouth Project" (Agricultural Research) and the conduction of joint space operations with allied nations.

Admiring the Commonwealth of Morrdh's unwavering loyalty and consistent allegiance to its fellow anti-slavery front-esqué allies such as The Macabees, Lamoni, Lyras, Imbrinium, Holy Marsh (The Grand Theocracy), and The Holy Empire (Stevid).

Accentuating the many militaristic and diplomatic undertakings of the Commonwealth that have sought to combat the forces of racial discrimination, human rights negligence, and the trade of human lives in the form of un-indentured slavery. As can be seen by:

• The Morridane Government’s condemnation of United World Order (UWO), a nation that was later officially condemned by the World Assembly at large via SCR#272 "Condemn United World Order", for the passage of chauvinistic legislation in the Fourth Reich indexing known as the “Berlina Race Accords”.
  
  
• The passage of the "Anti-Slavery Act 2012" through the State's Parliament, a legislative piece that replaced the previously enacted "Human Trafficking Act 1971", that of which effectively granted the Royal Morridane Navy permission to board and seize any slaver vessel it encounters, freeing its victims/captives and depositing the ship's incumbent crew in the nearest neutral plot.
  
  
• The pioneering of naval patrol initiatives on an extensive scale within Greater Dienstad on behalf of the Commonwealth, procuring efforts which were declared with the intent to better oppose the trading operatives of known slaveholder nations such as Ralkovia and The Scandinvans.
  
  
• The sinking of death ships (slaver vessels) belonging to The Kraven Corporation, a nation previously condemned by the World Assembly via SCR#61 "Condemn The Kraven Corporation", on the part of the Royal Morridane Navy for their repeated activities that lead to a demoralization of human traffickers.
  
  
• The Commonwealth of Morrdh’s deployment of carrier groups containing fighter escorts into international waters in response to the Protectorate of Dukopolious’ territorial claims upon New Empire, those of which were regarded as the actions of an aggressor in an imperialistic-driven campaign of annexation that when given the chance to resolve things diplomatically failed to do as such.

Observant of the continued steadfast judgment that the Commonwealth holds dear in the face of adversity and international diplomatic disharmony; often electing to offer nations in violation of civil rights abuses the chance to stand down and desist before preemptive military actions are taken.

Believing that the core principles of the Commonwealth of Morrdh, a Constitutional Monarchy with a democratically-elected government, as described and outlined herein, are reflective of the exuberant will in peacekeeping that the World Assembly seeks to further. As such, we - the nations of this body herein assembled - would do well to observe these values and preserve them in text inscribed for future regimes to emulate.

Hereby commends Morrdh.

[Robespierre]

Originally, this was a proposal I wrote at the beginning of last year and it was an idea I began drafting on NationStates forums in mid-January. You'll note that the nation who first introduced this is not the nation I currently use as my main, however, I have recently sought consultation from moderation team on-site and they've said it's perfectly fine for me to continue on pursuing the passage of this resolution, now at a later date, so long as I indicate with my older nation that I am the same author and same person as before. It will not count as plagiarism, seeing as to how I'd like to use the previous draft as my current draft (barring a few additions that'll include their actions since the beginning of 2019), and furthermore posting in the old draft thread will not be considered gravedigging provided I post as my old nation and indicate I'll be resuming with my current main nation as the author and future proposer.

This proposal was opposed by Yohannes way back when it was first drafted, as they believed there to be a few issues with it passing at that moment in time giving the situation, but I've spoken to them since they arrived in the North Pacific as a citizen and they've now expressed their support for such an idea to be resumed. As a result, I've re-introduced the draft here and will shortly indicate as such on the NationStates site itself.

(EDIT: A year ago, the main criticism was that it was a bit too soon and that there needed to be more activity observed in the Portal to the Multiverse and International Incidents section of NationStates forums. As this link will indicate, the nominee has continued to make quality posts in these areas in the time since this proposal was last drafted and their most recent post was actually yesterday. They're a very active nation who's headed further down the path they've been traveling for quite some time now, and hopefully the breather in between the original draft and now will do the overall success of the resolution some good.)

As an N&I RP poster in the NationStates Forum, I can vouch for this proposal (it's much better than the previous one--this includes Morrdh's sample RP/IC posts).

For

That being said, it's worth noting that Morrdh's actions have mostly been restricted (only) to/in Greater Dienstad and Gholgoth. I'm speaking as someone who actually hold In-Character (N&I RP) relationships with 100+ nations from multiple open world (and some closed world) regions. Greater Dienstad and Gholgoth are just two (tiny) regions--they are not (even close to being) the whole world (re: "prepare the world on Earth for space travel"); they are not the centre of the universe (multiverse?)

Edit: This is Yohannes on NationStates

Morddh is good people and very much deserves this. I don't have any feedback to give, just felt like it should be said.

I know I'm not a TNPer, and I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to post here, but I just want to say that I'm very happy you picked this back up Robespierre. I think it's very well written, and I'm very much looking forward to voting for it. I hope to see you writing more, because you're very good at it

Thank you very much for that, I appreciate you saying so! For me, authorship is definitely a passion and it’s something that I enjoy doing. As far as writing more often, I have a handful of drafts that have been on the back burner for awhile now as they’re either incomplete or just in the idea stages. Otherwise, I’d love to get working on writing more considering I have an abundance of time on my hands to do so.

In fact, I may soon start to seek out co-authors for things and provide others with opportunities to contribute and improve upon my ideas. No need to be hesitant about posting here, anytime!

Picked up a small mistake: End of the 4th dot point under Accentuating - "demoralization of human rights trafficking"
I don't think "human rights trafficking" is a thing, so I think you meant "human trafficking", and you can't demoralize an action, only demoralize people.
So I think the correct phrasing is "demoralization of human traffickers". An alternative is "decline of human trafficking", which has a somewhat different meaning, but I suppose also works.

Thank you for finding this! I’ve made the necessary edit and it’s now reflected on the current draft. Good catch!
