The Security Council’s opinion is that recent episodes involving the applicant have revealed fractures between Wonderess and the rest of the community. Of particular concern is Wonderess’ statement that he “will not protect the existence of a regime if I find it broken.” This assertion is at odds with the Security Council’s oath and mission to defend TNP. Despite the applicant’s having expressed regrets for his statements, those negative sentiments towards our government have damaged the bonds of trust with the community. For the Security Council to effectively lead in times of crisis, trust is paramount. There should be no doubt that every council member will put the region’s affairs first, despite whatever policy disagreements they might have.
We all recognize that it takes time to build trust. Once trust is broken, it takes time and positive action to rebuild it. We hope that in time, Wonderess can reestablish the confidence needed to assume the role of Security Councillor.
