AGAINST This proposal never defines "perfidy," and Sections 1 and 2 have vague language potentially allowing for overly expansive interpretations of perfidy by the ICC: "including, but not limited to" and "especially." |

I think deception can be a very useful tactic when a larger country is potentially oppressing a smaller country and I think that we shouldn't be trying to make war "civil" through legislation as this seems to be doing. War will always be messy and putting restrictions on things like this wont help it will only put one side at a disadvantage. Against |

Against Though I sympathise with the intent of this resolution, the language is quite vague, and furthermore, it would be practically impossible to enforce. Also, as a National Sovereigntist, I oppose any expansion of the World Assembly's powers over member nations. Edited by Xinxian, Friday Jun 6 2014, 01:30 AM.

“It is significant that, as innocent babies are killed, and capital punishment is withheld from their murderers, the same men who plead for the murderer's life also demand the “right” to abortion. Usually, the same picketers that carry a sign one day, “Abolish Capital Punishment,” also carry “Legalize Abortion” another day. When this is called to their attention, their answer is, “There is no contradiction involved.” They are right: the thesis is “condemn the innocent and free the guilty.” ~ R. J. Rushdoony, founder of Christian Reconstructionism "Don't give up! I believe in you all. A person's a person, no matter how small! And some very small persons will not have to die If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!" ~Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who | |

I support this statement for all of the above reasons, in addition to which I cannot help but see the vague language as being very deliberate in nature. Against. Edited by East Jordan, Friday Jun 6 2014, 03:24 AM.
