Advancement Of WA Diversity
Category: Declaration | Type: Declare
Proposed by: Thousand Branches | Onsite Topic​

The Security Council,

Recognizing that NationStates is home to a wealth of heroes, villains, and influential figures scattered across its vast plane of existence;

Understanding that the achievements of many remarkable nations, regions, and communities throughout the multiverse remain unrecognized by this council;

Highlighting, in the pursuit of a more diverse future, several resolutions that have previously succeeded in expanding the horizons of the Security Council:
  • Warzone Leadership: Commend Warzone Codger, a resolution highlighting incredible work done in leading, building, and legitimizing the famously unstable warzone regions.
  • Record-keeping: Commend Common Territories, a commendation of the nation’s exemplary records of national history, management, industry, and alliances.
  • Artwork Aggregation: Condemn Koem Kab, a denunciation directed at a nation known for its disgustingly inordinate collection of international artwork and grand, year-long manipulation of the artwork market.
  • Statistical Anomalism: Commend Kindjal, a resolution recognizing one of, if not the most utopian nation in the multiverse, a title that can be proven through astonishing statistical rankings on an international scale.
  • Artistic Generosity: Commend Almonaster Nuevo, a particularly unique resolution commending a nation for their people’s incredible gifts in digital artwork and their generosity in sharing those gifts throughout the multiverse.
  • Sporting Prowess: Commend Vilita and Turori, recognition of a nation known far and wide for its wealth of prestigious international sports victories as well as its sterling contributions to the sporting community.
  • Storytelling Expertise: Commend The Templar High Council, an appreciation of the innumerable and fantastical tales spun by the people of The Templar High Council, as well as their aid in helping others to reach the same mastery of storytelling that their people have achieved.
Praising these resolutions (and several others) for bringing a wealth of little-known communities to the attention of the Security Council, and delighted that the examples they’ve provided lay out a wonderful baseline for future diversity in the Security Council; but

Knowing that vast communities remain entirely unrepresented by this body, and believing that those communities should, in equal part, not be overlooked or denied deserved celebration;

Acknowledging that there remains substantial room to grow, especially as the Security Council continues to modernize its practices and ideals;

Hereby declares that the Security Council and all its authors should, in the future, strive to use their skills and powers to acknowledge under-represented communities across the multiverse in an effort to work towards a more inclusive future for the World Assembly.

Overview
This proposal seeks to promote, and allow the community to recognize, diverse sources of achievement which result in recognition by the Security Council. To do so, they highlight prior areas the Security Council has largely neglected or otherwise has rarely considered in determining commendations or condemnations. The author concludes with several exhortations to WA authors to consider “entirely underrepresented” communities in their SC writing.

Recommendation
For some of these communities the author highlights, there is not a standard for commendability or that standard set by the pioneer person is so high as to be unreachable. That being said though, we concur with the author that more communities need greater representation in the proceedings of the Security Council. While we understand, and are alright with, the prioritization of gameplay or authorship based-recognition, we also recognize that it is in the Security Council’s interests to engage more communities on a substantive level, potentially also providing a new set of authors and stakeholders in the assembly in the process.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the Security Council Resolution at vote, “Advancement of WA Diversity”.

I agree with the message but it kind of feels like we’re commending commendations. I’m not feeling this one.
