Repeal "Citizen Rule Required"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #8


Proposed by: Dankism

Description: UN Resolution #8: Citizen Rule Required (Category: The Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The United Nations,

COMMENDING the democratic intentions of Resolution #8, “Citizen Rule Required,”

NOTING that not all U.N. nations wish to be democratic,

FURTHER NOTING that Resolution #8, “Citizen Rule Required,” claims that citizen rule promotes “international peace,” which is not always true,

UNDERSTANDING that Resolution #8 fails to define which position the declaration for "citizen rule" applies to, making the resolution vague and ineffectual,

CONSIDERING that Resolution #8 does not adequately define “rouge nations,” nor how citizen rule deters said “rouge nations,”

ALSO CONSIDERING that Resolution #8 condemns certain governments, such as anarchies and dictatorships,

UPHOLDING that it is outside the mandate of this body to condemn specific political systems,

BELIEVING that member nations should decide on their own form of government at local, regional, and national levels,

REPEALS Resolution #8 “Citizen Rule Required.”

What exactly would this do... I'm not quite understanding it...

[Skwerrel]

It seems that there was a UN proposal that got past that required every nation to be a democracy. This repeals that and basically says that what form of goverment a country has should be up to that country.

Oh, well in that case, I'm all for it being repealed... this is about freedom of choice within the nation states environment and community
