A Request from the Grand Chancellor

Respected Senators,

As there is presently a close vote in the World Assembly Security Council regarding the liberation of Panem, a proposal which has caused a deal of discussion and debate amongst the WASC regulars, I thought this would be a good time to renew focus on the World Assembly Procedures Act of 2014.

The World Assembly Procedures Act of 2014 states under Security Council Responsibilities:

Quote:
 
(7) Recognizing the potential political implications of Resolutions before the Security Council the Speaker shall be empowered to call a vote of the Senate to determine the vote cast in Commendation, Condemnation and Liberation proposals.

(8) The Speaker may defer this vote to the majority opinion of Independent WA Members in cases of Commendations and Condemnations with the advice and consent of the Premier. In such cases the WA Delegate shall follow the same procedure used when voting for General Assembly votes to determine the majority opinion of Independent WA Members.

(9) Recognizing the political implications of Liberation proposals a vote of the Senate shall determine the vote cast by the WA Delegate when a Liberation is At Vote before the Security Council. Upon certification by the Speaker the WA Delegate shall be directed to cast his or her vote as determined by the Senate vote.


For liberations such as this, and I'm sure more controversial ones will arise in the future, I would like to encourage our Speaker to keep a vigilant eye on the World Assembly to ensure these provisions of the WA Procedures Act (2014) are upheld and executed in a timely fashion.

There is little more than a day left in voting on the liberation of Panem, thus I beg the Senate to hold a vote for the determination of how our WA Delegate shall vote on the Liberation.

Thank you.

I beg to move that the World Assembly delegate is ordered to vote in favour of the liberation.
