The Embassy was liberated so it could be freed from the occupying raider forces. This has been achieved, and keeping the liberation in effect would only hinder the natives from setting up a password themselves again, thus making the region less secure from invasion. Therefore, the liberation should be repealed now.

The World Assembly,

Understanding the need for nuclear weapons in self-defense,

Noting that some smaller nations' only protection from larger nations is mutually assured destruction,

Confirming member nations' right to possess, and produce nuclear weapons,

Finding, however, that the use of a single nuclear weapon will devastate entire cities, and cause death to thousands and even millions of humans, as well as animals, and completely destroys the environment in a certain radius,

Further finding that, without this resolution, in the event nuclear weapons fall in the wrong hands, one impulse could destroy countless nations,

Seeking to reasonably limit nuclear devastation,

Hereby;

1. Defines nuclear weapon as a bomb or missile that uses nuclear fission, fusion, or a combination of the two processes to create an explosion,

2. Bans the use of nuclear weapons on other nations, except for retaliating to a massive, or repeated, attack from an armed force, or in response to a biological, chemical, or nuclear weapon strike, to one's own nation, or a nation allied by treaty for the purposes of mutual defense.

I believe that is a common sense proposal. I disagree that the definition of a nuclear weapon is vague and have no issues with the definition.

Feel it's vague and not well-written. Honestly, if nuclear attacks are so bad (which they are), just go the whole way and ban the possession of nuclear devices entirely. The way this is written though, there are both too many loopholes (what constitutes a biological strike? A chemical strike?) and too much vague language (how is massive or repeated defined?). This act seems to straddle the fence to cater to all, and in so doing, is pretty toothless. Either go for the jugular and ban nuclear devices entirely, or introduce a gradual disarming program of existing nuclear devices or something similar. This proposal is not great though. We can do better.

In some cases nuclear weapons are necessary to prevent more death and destruction. Furthermore, the resolution is vague leaving many loopholes and I believe it needs more definitions and explanations.

The Office's Analysis

A distinguished member of the NS sports community, Kelssek is nominated by the at-vote resolution "Commend Kelssek" to receive official recognition by the Security Council in the form of a shiny commendation badge. In addition to their impressive contributions to sports roleplaying, their historical involvement in the WA and its predecessor and work for The East Pacific, as convincingly presented by the proposal in a clear and structured manner, finally leave no doubt that the nominee is deserving of such. Thus, OWL recommends a vote FOR the at-vote resolution, "Commend Kelssek".

I'm not familiar with the nominee, but the accomplishments laid out in the proposal seem really extensive and are enough to merit a commendation, I think. Of course the proposal could have expanded a bit more on some points, as others here have pointed out, but I won't oppose it just for that.

Full support. As a former Olympics host, I can personally attest that hosting one is OOCly is a massive undertaking. Hosting multiple... well, it's a blessing that Kelssek is still around in the community.

Electrum wrote:

I wholeheartedly endorse this resolution. Kelssek is a well deserved candidate for commendation. Kelssek's been instrumental in advancing human rights in the World Assembly, with two of its resolutions, the 'Convention Against Genocide' and 'Refugee Protection', forming an integral part of WA/GA law. Hosting four Olympic games also shows an insane amount of dedication -- I can attest to how difficult this achievement is -- many dozens of hours over a short period of time goes into hosting one of these, let alone four of them.

The more I think about it, I just become more skeptical of this proposal. I think the nominee is deserving but the writing is haphazard in some parts and generally lacks narrative and structure. It falls more than almost any other resolution for the "time to list some things" flaw, as it essentially consists of a list of UN/GA resolutions, a list of sports hostings and sports victories, and then a very very sloppy laundry list of every position they ever held in TEP. At no point does it create narrative and the TEP section in particular is sloppy, as positions do not equate to contributions. I'm against with a "go back, fix the writing, and try again" theme

While the proposed resolution has a somewhat solid RP component to it, the list of positions the subject has served as part of The East Pacific with no mention of their particular relevance undercuts the strength of the proposal. The author could improve the proposal by elaborating on the relevance of the subject serving in these positions or omitting the section entirely.

Against. While the RP part may be commendable, the list of contributions to TEP are incredibly unspecific—it is just a list of positions—and should either be removed or explained further. I doubt that the list of positions needs to be included to make the case that the nominee is commendable.
