What are your opinions on this upcoming Security Council proposal?

Remember that World Assembly members are free to vote however they want on proposals.


Condemn Hippostania
Proposed by Demphorian WA Seat
Delegates and Representatives of the Security Council,

Confirms that The Republic of Hippostania is a member of the World Assembly,

Draws the attention to GA RES. #2 ‘Rights and Duties of WA States’, GA RES. #9 ‘Prevention of Torture’, GA RES. #27 ‘Freedom of Assembly’, GA GA RES. #30, ’Charter of Civil Rights’, GA RES. #35, Freedom of Expression, GA RES. #43, WA Labor Relations Act and GA RES. #174, Right to Petition are promoted and largely accepted General Assembly Resolutions that protect numerous categories, including the civilian right to express themselves and the protection of their rights and the right to protect nations from unlawful intervention,

Reminds the World Assembly that all WA member states should follow these Resolutions, for they protect their citizens and way of government,

Deplores the fact that The Republic of Hippostania has violated GA RES. #2, Section 3 by refusing to ‘refrain from unrequested intervention in the internal or external economic, political, religious, and social affairs of any other NationState’ by overthrowing a democratically elected government in Longfort and participating in the conquest of Falsea,

Strongly Condemns Hippostania for further violating GA resolutions #27, #30, #43 and #174 by most notably and infamously passing and recently renewing the Subversive and Dangerous Ideologies and Activities Restriction Act, which outlaws leftist political parties, threatens the formation of unions, and infringes the right of citizens to petition, all of which violate the previously stated resolutions,

Further Deplores that the Hippostanian Army violated GA RES. #27 by authorizing troops to violently attack protesters in a foreign country,

Further Deplores the fact that The Republic of Hippostania has violated GA RES. #9, Articles 3 – 6, 8, 12 and 13 through the construction of the Anzère Correctional Detention Facility, which is used to round up people who seem ‘hostile to the Hippostanian government and punish them for political misdemeanors, such as promoting communism, socialism, anarchism or promoting “anit-Hippostanian propoganda”’

Therefore, concerning that Hippostania has openly violated numerous resolutions, it should be in the interest of the Security Council to,

1. Condemn The Republic of Hippostania for openly violating GA RES. #2, #9, #27, #30, #35, #43 and #174.

I am AGAINST this proposal because I do not believe Hippostania has violated all of these resolutions.

Resolution 9: Prevention of Torture

No evidence is given that Hippostania tortures the people whom it imprisons.

Resolution 27: Freedom of Assembly

This resolution protects only peaceful assembly and does not protect calls for violence. The Hippostanian law being criticized by this proposal outlaws:
  • Attempts to bring about any political, industrial, social, or economic change or disturbance or disorder within the Republic by promoting Marxist socialism as interpreted by Lenin or Trotsky, or any related form of this doctrine including anarchism, syndicalism, national socialism, council communism, libertarian communism and also any doctrine that aims at bringing about a despotic system of government based on the dictatorship of the proletariat or any doctrine or plan aimed at promoting a spirit of hostility or disrespect towards the basic Hippostanian values of liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.
Certainly, there is no right to organize revolutionary groups that call for the overthrow of democratic government. Hippostania has elections, but it does not allow anarchists and revolutionary socialists to participate since they advocate anti-democratic ideologies and overthrow of the government. A nation has the right to protect itself from organizations, internal and external, that seek its destruction.

Resolution 30: Freedom of Expression

This resolution excludes from protection "incitements to widespread lawlessness and disorder."

The goal of anarchism, which Hippostania forbids, is lawlessness.

Communism, which Hippostania forbids, calls for revolution against the existing social order.

Resolution 35: The Charter of Civil Rights

In this proposal, no evidence is given that Hippostania has violated this resolution.

Resolution 43: WA Labor Relations Act

The condemnation proposal is correct here. Hippostania, because it has a laissez-faire economy, does not protect the rights of workers. Unions are technically allowed; although, the lack of labor regulations in Hippostania does make it difficult for them to exist. Business owners do what they can in Hippostania to smother unions.

Resolution 174: Right to Petition

No evidence is given that Hippostania restricts the right to petition.
