Security Council Resolution #336 “Commend The Western Isles” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Certain that the main problem with “Commend the Western Isles” is that it’s predominantly a laundry list of treaties
the Western Isles made. Any region can make treaties, but SC#336 does not contextualize them or explain why those treaties are of any note,
Elaborating that the organization of “Commend the Western Isles” sabotages itself; it is merely a list of treaty names, none of which are elaborated on beyond an encyclopedic, dispassionate description which fails to adequately convey why the treaties are impressive or stray from the norm,
Concluding that the “hailing” and “saluting” clauses— the clauses which refer to the treaties of the Western Isles and make up the bulk of the commendation— are merely pieces of fluff that fill space and say nothing about the Western Isles. Such fluff is characteristic of the proposal, and can also be found in the following clauses:
- The “applauding” clause cites a “welcoming attitude” and certain helpful resources, such as a guide and mentor nations, which fail to set the Western Isles apart from a typical region. If these guides and mentorship programs are unique or particularly impressive, SC#336 failed to explain why,
- The “applauding” clause also commends the Western Isles for having a forum for nations to talk in, a typical practice among many regions that's certainly nowhere near commendable or special,
- The “appreciating” clause, which discussed “Citizens of The Isles” failed to explain what this “creative writing publisher” was or what made it special— the same could perhaps be said of its mention of the Western Isles News,
Noting that the aforementioned clauses make up all but the entirety of SC#336, and there is hardly anything substantive left in SC#336 to comment on,
Noticing the ridiculous “impressed” clause which implies that the Western Isles is “small”, a claim that’s not only wrong, but detracts from the idea that the Western Isles is important,
Unimpressed by the drafting of SC#336 “Commend the Western Isles”, whose author mistakenly attempted to rush the proposal to the floor of the Security Council, went silent whenever a nation provided constructive criticism, ignored or gave curt, unsubstantive responses to virtually every genuine question from voters, and failed to change the proposal very much in an absurd twelve drafts,
Finding a final blow to “Commend the Western Isles” in the fact that of the few nations which voiced support for SC#336 in the public drafting area, many did so while admitting that the proposal was too poorly written for their liking, implying that the Western Isles is respected, but the same nations which respect it feel SC#336 did not do it justice,
Concluding that SC#336 failed to provide beyond a shred of evidence of the Western Isles commendability in its pile of fluff, and if the region is commendable, a much more convincing proposal has to be created,
Hereby repeals SC#336 “Commend the Western Isles”.
