Prohibition of UN Military

[Estayland]

Determined to maintain the neutrality of the United Nations over international affairs, and to protect the territorial sovereignty and integrity of member states,

This Assembly hereby resolves:

1. Member states shall neither raise nor contribute funds or forces toward the creation of any army or police force under the banner or command of the NationStates United Nations;

2. Member states shall neither request nor expect intervention in any armed conflict by any UN-created military or police force.

With respect to the real world, the UN is a joke already. Taking away what little, albeit insignificant, threat they possess will just make them not only barely useful, but entirely ineffective altogether. The UN "military" can only shoot at the ground or the air, they're not even permitted to act in self defense. The UN is built upon threat of force, even if they can't implement it, and downright prohibiting the possibility of force will destroy the organization entirely.

"We're going to get very angry with you, and write you a letter telling you how angry we are! That'll learn ya."

Holy crap I didnt expect such opposition to this! Thanks for voting. You still have a few days to voice your opinions.

That's what I was thinking. If anything, it should be expanded and given more power. If you're going to do this, you might as well dissolve the UN altogether.

This is unrelated but the UN needs to pick better Sec-Gens. A string of dove-like, administrative minded diplomats and ultimately ineffective picks from J.Perez to B.Ghali to Kofi Annan has plunged the UN military from a respected force to be reckoned with, to a purely symbolic, "peace-keeping" (because they don't do anything) group of boy-scouts.

they pick em more so that they look more accepting towards all types of ppl i thinx but anyhow itd be a stupid law to pass.

Is this a sick joke of a resolution from the UN?

NAY!

The U.N. military needs to be used solely as a peace keeping force and member nation need to help contribute if nessisary.
