Abyssinia is surprised at the wide plethora of resolutions being proposed that a) say pretty much the same thing, b) the UN would have a difficult time at best trying to enforce, and c) nations have, in some cases, already voted down past resolutions that had the same initiatives and goals.
Considering these three factors, we feel it is absolutely ludicrous that nations vote on these so earnestly and with so much conviction and yet when the whole crisis in Somalia first began and we asked - nay, BEGGED - for UN Peacekeeping missions to help stabilize the situation, all we got was a few token votes but no action. We had to depend on help sent in by a select few blessed individual nations' own initiatives, and then ended up having to cave in to a separatist movement, all as the UN remained inert and just observed impotently.
Our disillusionment with this body continues to grow each day, we are sad to say. First it stood by as foreign... ehem... "volunteers" entered our sovereign territory, essentially giving approving of the invasion and partition of a UN full-member state by another. but now we spend our time arguing back and forth over who can jump around on the Moon.
We suggest that you all bring yourselves back down to Earth and actually vote on issues that matter and on substantive resolutions that can actually be enforced by the United Nations, lest this organization lose what little meaning and importance it still has.
