UN Resolution: UN Space Consortium

[Parthini]

UN Space Consortium
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Rixtex

Description: Whereas the nations of the world wish to unify their efforts at space exploration, and

Whereas, no nation can claim title to the Moon,

Let it be resolved, that an agency to be named the United Nations Space Consortium (hereafter referred to as “U.N.S.C.”) is hereby created. The purpose of the U.N.S.C. shall be to establish a permanent Lunar Base capable of furthering the exploration of space for knowledge and resources.

The U.N.S.C. shall be incorporated under the charter of the United Nations and entirely funded through the sale of stock to any desiring nation, regardless of their affiliation to the United Nations. Non-participating nations are free to pursue their own space objectives, but would not reap the rewards of the investors. No taxing authority shall be created by the passage of this resolution.

A Provisional Board of Directors (“Provisional Board”) shall be composed of a representative from each nation participating in the U.N.S.C. immediately following the passage of this resolution. The Provisional Board will then proceed to elect a permanent Board of Directors (“Board”). No sale of stock shall occur before the seating of the Board.

Full operational control, design, development, priorities, and administration will be assigned to the Board whose service will remain subject to the will of the stockholders, as provided for in the Articles of Incorporation.

Let the nations of the world move forward together to a new frontier.

Ok. Here's the Issue. Sorry for not putting it up earlier. Busy week!

Nonetheless, what does everyone think? I think it's a good idea which is quite clear and fits in with space exploration which is needed.

Give Your Input!

I'd say no to that, but since a few of the past resolutions didn't make sence to me at all, I left the UN 6 weeks ago.

[Boktavia II]

I'm abstaining from voting on this issue. I am normally for space exploration, and generally this wouldn't be a horrible idea, but some of its specific points I don't agree with. I guess if I had to advise you, Parthini, I would go with no, but I myself have decided just not to vote.

[Odracir]

I voted for it. I think it is a good idea, and a well-written proposal. I recommend to vote for it.

[Bad Infinitum]

I agree, it is very well written, and it covers all the bases. I respect the proposal because of this. However, I also respect the Germans in World War II, simply because they were excellent soldiers, even if their cause was unjust. The Allies, as you all know, eventually defeated the Nazi regime, and I want this bill to be brought down as well. It proposes a monopoly in space, something that seems to be deemed unnecessary in my eyes. Vote no, we don't need to move into space, there's plenty of room on the NationStates server for all of us.

[republicofsnackmen]

I would like to point out that this resolution was made by our allies from Texas. If you want to show your support for them then vote yes.

[nnn]

North New Narnia votes yes on this issue. I think it is a good thing to support as well as supporting our allies.

[Ambivila]

Ambivila votes Yes on the UN Space Consortium. It does not propose a monopoly, but rather allows for the sharing of new territory and technology.

[Thewsconia]

I think that this resolution has the right intentions but is to flawed ot be passed. It has the potential of causing a monopoly in the vast realm of space and could lead to future crisis/wars over territory in space. The Peoples Republic of Thewsconia votes no on this resolution.

[newwallia]

The People's Republic of New Wallia considers Space Exploration, whatever the cost, to be a fundamental drive toward human endeavour and harmonisation of the word's nations.

I vote yes.
