Ladies and Gentlemen,

I really do not know, how to feel about the resolutions I will propose today. On the one hand, I could be hopeful, because if the members of this house are willing to discuss and vote on this resolution, it means, the World Forum has not failed completely yet. It means, it serves its purpose as an international forum and it wants to improve itself wherever it falls short. On the other hand, it is heartbreaking to see, how the following resolutions, the Federal Republic of GI-Land will bring into the discussion, are needed, because we do not deliver on the promises we made to the world.

I personally want to decide, to remain hopeful and thus our delegation has analysed, where the problems of this organization lay. As the Efladian delegation already found out, our Charter might be too vague. This has had its justifiable reasons, no doubt about it, but time has shown, that the fundament of this organization is too hollow within and is one of the reasons, why we sometimes cannot take certain actions, or sanction members of this organization, who are not willing to follow our own set of rules. This means, even if it needs a 2/3 majority of this Assembly and a re-ratification of our Charter, that we need to make some changes to the texts of the Charter and the basic resolutions governing this forum’s organs.

What we also noticed is, that we might need some procedures, e.g. another, additional kind of resolution process, that is quicker and not tied to expansive formalities. While there are problems in the world, we need to tackle together and that demand resolutions or treaties, that are formulated extremely well and detailed, sometimes certain “basic actions” should not need a vast resolution text to be voted upon and adopted. A catalogue of standard actions will thus be proposed by us in cooperation with the Committee of International Law.

Lastly we need to make our adopted resolutions more accessible. It needs to be clearer, which resolutions are mandatory rules and which are voluntary. It needs to be clearer, that any of our members must follow certain procedures, as short or long as they may be, and know our rules and not do ego-trips the entire time. This is noticeable, ladies and gentlemen, and it has been criticized by us more than by any other nation in this Assembly: With all due respect, take this organization seriously finally and stop ignoring it and then blaming us, that our hands are tied! This is not how it works!

Now we propose the following and ask the Speaker to allow, that we will have separate votes on the chapters 1 and 2, and if wished for by the Assembly also on chapter 3, after the Assembly’s discussions have concluded, also because partially different majorities and national procedures are needed to implement the proposed changes.

[OOC: Text of the Resolution in the next post. I decided to not post this resolution in the thread created by Eflad, because this proposal is way more expansive and does not solely affect the Charter of the World Forum. While I think, what Eflad has proposed, can be found in this new resolution proposal combined with all resolutions we passed already, this draft is not based on his proposal. Thus I created this new discussion thread.]
