The Space Race - UN Building

[Jehoshua]

Tibet refuses absolutely any imposition of a constitution binding on all members of the UN body. It will not cede its sovereign rights to an entity controlled by the interests of those who hold views contrary to the culture and positions of the Tibetan nation.

XONES:

Most excellent.

It is my understanding that the United States constitution, though used as a model for many other constitutions, was hardly unanimous in its passing and came about due to many protections and restrictions on what the government was able to do (I myself cannot imagine restraining my powers; goodness, what were they thinking?).

As such, I shall be entertained to see what sorts of compromises are proposed so as to distribute power in the Union.

Well, the illusion of power the Earth Occupation Governments are allowed to maintain, at least. But hey, that's merely a technicality. Relax and have some fun.

The SUDS require we pass a law ensuring the prospect of needed international intervention if need be. Hence we need a Security Committee to ensure on matters that may require waring requirements.

 

[Double A]

You require it? You don't get to dictate anything outside your own country.

Macedonia agrees with [whatever nation AA is].

You had better propose it; I'm not agreeing to anything required...

I suppose Uruguay has showed up.

Venice joins. We hope the UN will respect the economic policies of all nations in it.
Delegate Elected: Mr. Veneziano. This will be the title of our Representative. He may not use his real name as a delegate.

 

[Jehoshua]

A certain nations "requirement" that mechanisms be established to interfere with the affairs of nations is simply a clear sign that any "United Nations" far from being united in the sense of being a universal exercise, would simply be the imposition of values and principles by certain nations on others in a totalitarian exercise of domination over the liberties and freedoms of nations and cultures.

Such an institution should never see the light of day. The nations of the world should retain merely a forum for nations to engage in dialogue, for it is nations that will solve their own problems free from the coercions of tyrannical impositions of powerful nations on the weaker.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

You know, Jeho, if you don't like the UN, you don't have to join it.

 

[Jehoshua]

Ah, but knowing the people who play this sort of game, they'd do their whole intervention thing on the basis of some fictitious universal jurisdiction if my non-member state violated prevailing orthodoxy. Keeping within the UN at least means I can contest such notions and nudge the collective towards a more constructive IR paradigm.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

So, should I write a draft or not?

And any edict should be universal, otherwise the whole exercise is pointless.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

A draft would be a start, at least.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

OK. I unfortunately don't have the time I thought. Tommorrow it will come.

Again, post me if you want to write a part, have suggestions or anything else.

It is the opinion of the Philip Pines that sovereignty must be the only principle enshrined in the United Nations Constitution. Nations have complete control of what happens within their borders and the only job of the United Nations should be to prevent the violation of sovereignty through warfare. Spheres of Influence are a grey area and thus not be recognized as having any importance in the United Nations or the international community.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Basic layout:

-Legislature structure
-How the General Secretary is selected
-If there is any judicial branch, its specifics should be outlined
-How resolutions proceed
-Any innate powers the UN is given
-Procedure for modifying the UN's constitution

My UN Constitutions tend to borrow a lot of ideas from the United States', but really it's all up to you.

Venice seconds this. War only hurts trade.

Venetian Points:
1: All nations' internal sovereignty is to be fully respected. The internal policy of a nation is included
2: spheres of influence will never be recognized, and therefor is not a valid cause beli for war.
3: The UN will respect the economic policies of all nations.
4: Its only duty is to negotiate ends to a war, and if negotiations end, assemble a peacekeeping force to end it. Civil wars do not count.
5: Civil wars can only be intervened in if the rebelling side has the support of 70% of all UN nations.
6: If said Civil War is a war for independence on one side, once 60% of UN nations recognize it, the UN is allowed to send a Peacekeeping force to liberate them.

The SUDS are concerned the UN is basing itself on a democracy in name only... especilly one which followed the ills of capitalism. We must base on the ideals of peace, justice, liberty, socialism and fine wine. Viva la revolution!

or we go with the points mynations has suggested.

 

[Double A]

yes
sometimes
yes
no peacekeeping
no
no

Why do we need an organization for this? Red tape sucks, stop rolling around it in.
