Honorable Speaker, esteemed delegates and colleagues,

let me start by saying that we welcome the resolution brought forward by the ambassador of GI-Land. It has our full support. It provides the World Forum with democratic, transparent and effective tools with which we can rise to our goal of peace around the globe.

It is not only unavoidable for this organization to become a political one, but necessary and imminent! If we want to move forward of the common goal of prosperity, stability and most importantly peace, we must work together to reform this organization to a union which acts like one. And Ambassador Meise's proposal does that. It provides the WF with the needed resources for it to be able to achieve the goals I just listed.
To ambassador Graves, who said that binding resolutions are not to be implemented because undemocratic nations cannot have an equal say in resolutions, I say: Then vote "Nay" and present arguments as to why the resolutions by those nations are to be rejected. Furthermore, binding resolutions require a two-thirds majority which, without broad consent and agreement, is hard to acquire.
Therefore, these measure all but undemocratic.

The only issue we have with this resolution is the clause on "unparliamentary language". This is where we partly agree with the ambassador Graves that it is restricting free speech. We therefore propose a change:

Quote:"Sanctionable misbehavior especially includes unparliamentary undignifying language, insulting or threatening an official, deliberately destroying property of an official or the World Forum and harming the body or health of an official."

Hereby we allow free speech but reject insults.

I finish by saying that with this resolution we would set an example for a World Forum whose members not only talk the talk but walk the walk. And to walk this walk we need shoes, and those shoes are the tool provided here.

Dr. Lina Frere,
Ambassador for the Technocratic Republic of Eflad to the World Forum
