Repeal "Condemn DEN"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal | Resolution: SC#187 | Proposed by: Nohbdy

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #187: Condemn DEN shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Security Council,

Noting the acts of aggression committed by the DEN war machine against innocent regions and recognizing it as a threat,

Recalling that raider groups have been using the name DEN since ancient times, and that many incarnations of the region have existed,

Recognizing that the current incarnation of DEN was spawned in the wake of the destruction of The Black Riders, but remained a separate entity from The Black Riders, having different leadership, attracting many new raiders who had never been members of the previously mentioned group, and employing different, less mechanical strategies,

Disappointed that SC #187 falls for the common misconception that the two raider groups are one and the same, when they are in fact quite different from one another,

Shocked that SC # 187 insinuates that DEN “destroys unique cultures and communities” throughout NationStates, yet fails to provide even a single example of a refound to support this claim,

Reminded that DEN has not refounded a native region by force since its revival, excluding the raider region Power Is Rising, which negates the second clause completely as none of the listed raids caused regional destruction on any scale,

Skeptical regarding the statement that DEN conducted “The invasion of the region of Christmas” considering the fact that there is no evidence that DEN has ever led an occupation of said region. The only recorded DEN involvement in any occupation of Christmas was the reinforcement of a 2012 raid conducted by Asgard. SC #187 makes it out as if DEN invaded the region, when in reality, DEN was one of four raider groups who merely reinforced a fifth group’s invasion,

Confused as to why DEN’s raid of Paradoxia goes completely unmentioned throughout SC# 187, despite being one of the modern DEN’s earliest and most controversial raids,

Appalled by the simply atrocious number of spelling, grammar, and syntax errors throughout the proposal, including:

• The use of “appaled” instead of “appalled” in the third clause,
  
  
• The inconsistent use of punctuation marks throughout the proposal,
  
• The statement that the invasion of Catholic occurred in “the 2012”,
  
  
• The multiple uses of the phrase “on Nationstates” in clauses two and five, which Sedgistan, a member of the Secretariat, has described as being “grammatically incorrect”,
  
  
• And the horrific half thought, “even though the atrocities they have done to many regions on Nationstates” in the sixth clause,
  
  

Asserting that the language used throughout SC #187 is not fit to be used in a book report, let alone in an international law,

Exasperated by the concept that there were raiding “strategies and tactics that condemned the Black Riders”, when it is a well known fact that it was the Security Council that condemned The Black Riders,

Realizing that the condemnation has been publicly dismissed by many Security Council veterans as being poorly written and hastily submitted,

Remembering that the condemnation of DEN is not a time sensitive issue, and should be done with at least enough care as to not make basic spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as to avoid major factual errors,

Concluding that Security Council Resolution #187 “Condemn DEN” is not fit for use by this esteemed body,

Hereby Repeals SC #187: Condemn DEN.

In favor.

[Jin]

So, is a new and improved repeal going to be presented if this goes through?

[Louisistan]

The condemnation played right into their hands by implying that the current DEN was the successor of the old DEN, when in fact they're just using the name.
Giving them "credit" for something the old DEN did years ago is just wrong. Especially since TITO fought quite hard to have the old DEN disappear.

[Woonsocket]

For.

[Paffnia]

The Islands' vote was cast FOR this resolution.

[The Federal Rep. Of Cellarius]

This resolution to Condemn DEN was created by a high ranking person in my former region, Right to Life, I have mixed feelings for DEN, for now I have voted against because I feel we shouldn't let them rampage, even though they already took St Abbaddon, but I may withdraw to think about it.
