SC Proposal: Repeal "Condemn The Pacific"

[Wischland]

Repeal: "Condemn The Pacific"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: SC#268

Proposed By: Cormactopia Prime

Security Council Resolution #268 “Condemn the Pacific” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The Security Council:

Recalling that the New Pacific Order -- the ruling regime of the Pacific -- has a long history of committing flagrant acts of aggression, many of which were articulated by SC#268 and a preceding resolution which has been repealed, SC#177;

Maintaining, however, that the inaccuracies of SC#268 weaken the argument in favor of condemnation to such a degree that the Pacific cannot be considered worthy of condemnation based on the arguments set forth by SC#268, warranting repeal;

Noting that while Feux and A mean old man did infiltrate Lazarus and Osiris through puppet nations, these nations were not "notable members of the New Pacific Order" at the time of said infiltrations, nor were they members of the NPO at all during that time period;

Dismissing claims that these infiltrations constituted intelligence operations conducted by the NPO, due to a lack of evidence to demonstrate the NPO knew of these infiltrations while they were ongoing;

Acknowledging that Aleisyr and Pergamon, at the time the nations chiefly responsible for governing the Pacific, later became aware of these infiltrations but allowed these nations membership and advancement in the NPO, without informing either Lazarus or Osiris of the infiltrations, but that their reprehensible silence and inaction do not prove the aforementioned claims;

Celebrating that Aleisyr, Pergamon, and other nations responsible for the NPO's duplicitous machinations resigned or were removed from power, in some cases departing the Pacific altogether, and that they were replaced with a new generation of leadership that does not appear to share past aims of strife and conquest;

Observing that Topid, the nation that authored SC#268, has released a communique through a puppet nation expressing its government's belief that the Pacific has made progress toward reform, enough so that Topid has made peace with the NPO;

Recognizing that there is a growing consensus among major global powers that apparent reform efforts undertaken by the NPO are progressing sufficiently to warrant reopening diplomatic relations with the Pacific;

Reflecting that this renewed openness by prominent regions to normalization of relations with the NPO indicates a rising optimism that the Pacific can rejoin the community of regions in good faith, without further condemnation by this body;

Respecting that the nations and regions of the world may yet have varying opinions on the veracity of the NPO's alleged reform efforts, but fervently hoping that such efforts will prove sufficient to avoid any need for this body to condemn the Pacific a third time;

Hereby Repeals SC#268: Condemn The Pacific.

Snip (Quote Edit - Not Malicious) 

I’am not in the WA, though I would like to comment on this proposal. To more on that, I’am citizen of The Pacific but I am definitely not biased towards either side until I can be convinced into using my WA Puppet to cast an vote.

Benefits

Though not every SC or GA Proposal has Benefits to The Public, I would like to point out how this can benefit NationStates Regions. I have watched members go and come to The Pacific, The Government Vote. 

- Holding A Grudge Against NPO (New Pacific Order) and Their NS region (The Pacific) is not going to benefit any Anti-NPO people out there because the original proposal was written years ago and The Troublemakers are Exiled Long Ago and Banned from Re-Entry and even some ceased to exist. Giving NPO a chance is an good idea, to prove theirselves worthy of being a region especially controlling a large feeder.

- The Original Proposal is largely inaccurate compared to Modern Events- even an telegram by the East Durthang (Lord of Darkness on their forums) and he telegrammed some regions  have developed an exceptional hate for their region and blackmail them, to encourage and glorify un-endorsing their delegate (I received the telegram myself few months ago). They insulted the region, Complained about what the region done, and then continued to use the original proposal as a backup to all of this. That was a disgusting experience and I never want to see the telegram again.

- With the proposal out of hand, big sinkers and other regions can be friendly to The Pacific, given the chance 10,000 Islands can take advantage of that and go ahead to diplomacy again. This would welcome a new power into the world - something better then constantly leaving them alone in a state of isolation. 

DrawBacks

This one has drawbacks. Like it’s name, I not biased in any way and hopefully this guide can provide an valuable resource to those that cannot decide on this proposal - you weigh the benefits and drawbacks manually and make your ultimate and fair choice. 

- The Pacific has committed some crimes, which harmed regions, nations and more such as frequent intelligence operations that may be collecting information on other regions secretly. The Pacific may use this repeal as chance for more benefits - back to the crimes they use to do without the big dishonoring sign above their region. They can ignore your good faith and go for their own win - lone wolfs are we talking about. 


- The Original Proposal is probably the only durable piece of evidence that NPO committed these crimes and had bad faith. Repealing it will give The Pacific an notoriously clean image - their is simply no evidence The Pacific did anything wrong in their time in NS. As many organizations and regions relay on this to protect the public from The Pacific’s harm, their out of luck now.

My Final Recommendation is Neutral (Either Side is Fine) and/or Abstain
What Did I vote on this repeal: For.
