Repeal "Condemn Vandoosa"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
 
Category: Repeal
Resolution: SC#188
Proposed by: Wallenburg

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #188: Condemn Vandoosa shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Applauding international efforts to combat raiding;

Recognizing that condemnations do little to discourage raiding, and often serve as badges of honor to prominent raiders;

Alarmed at the assertions that Vandoosa participated in raiding Alternate World History and is its current delegate to the World Assembly, both of which are incorrect;

Dismissing the claim that the Glorious Nations of Iwaku have fallen apart due to Vandoosa's actions, considering that the region has not fallen at all, and is actually quite successful;

Questioning Vandoosa's true impact on the international community, and recognizing the lack of evidence for many of the claims in the condemnation of Vandoosa;

Noting the dissonance of condemning Vandoosa for supposedly injuring the Glorious Nations of Iwaku, yet explicitly stating the further injury of this region's activity as 
one of the condemnation's main goals;

Believing that nations should not be condemned on false pretenses;

Observing no benefit to any nation but Vandoosa itself in the continued existence of SC#188;

The World Assembly hereby repeals SC#188, "Condemn Vandoosa".

I have no strong opinion on this resolution, as I don't know much about the circumstances described in the original condemnation or in this repeal. I therefore intend to ABSTAIN.

I do, however, oppose repealing condemnations on the grounds that they are "badges of honour". We use censures and condemnations all the time in real life, and we don't much care whether they're construed as "badges of honour" by the recipient. As such, I'm not particularly fond of the repeal's use of that argument, for what it's worth.
