Amendment
#1

The Ryccian Government(note: the government does not control Ryccia anymore, but it is in Daonlathas, after the council of Ryccians allowed the King to return. He then reunited his government in Daonlathas, but they do not control territory, as the country is occupied) has looked at the IOC proposal, and we propose this amendment

RESOLUTION 001
ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL OVERSIGHT COMMISSION AND CONTINUATION OF INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS

In view of the severe human rights situation in the Constitutional Monarchy of Ryccia, acknowledging that the respect for human rights is a core principle of the Southern Cooperation Organisation and recognizing that international pressure has forced Ryccia to offer conciliatory measures to reform its human rights practices and reduce the size of its military forces, the Southern Council resolves as follows:

1. Establishment of an International Oversight Commission

There shall be an International Oversight Commission and it shall be composed of three commissioners, one appointed by each of the following:
  • Federal Democratic Republic of Awesomiasa
  • Republic of Kringalia
  • Farengeto Republic
The Commission shall exist and discharge its duties for as long as this resolution is valid or until a subsequent resolution determines it should cease its operations, but no cessation of operations shall be effective until the Commission has delivered its final report, as determined in this resolution.

2. Mandate of the International Oversight Commission

The Commission shall be charged with the following responsibilities:
  • Ensure that the Constitutional Monarchy of Ryccia complies with the terms laid out in the following article of this resolution and will not cease compliance when convenient.
  • Report to the Southern Council on the progress of its mission and on the overall context of Ryccia.
  • Recommend further measures to the Southern Council based on the compliance and behaviour of Ryccia throughout the duration of the mission.
3. Compliance Terms

It shall be the responsibility of the Constitutional Monarchy to comply with the following terms, as signs of its sincere commitment to international peace and the respect for human rights:
  • Removal of Dave Isvou as Prime Minister and appointment of a national reconciliation government under the direct supervision of the King.
  • Trial of all major figures of the crisis as determined jointly by the succeeding Ryccian Government and the Commission.
  • Immediate dismantling of the Ryccian nuclear arsenal or transfer of all nuclear material and information to the three nations with a seat in the Commission.
  • Permanent ban on the development and use of weapons of mass destruction and the dismantling of all extant weapons of mass destruction and related prototypes, with the inclusion of the LX-537 Ultra Sound Bomb.
  • Reduction of military forces to a maximum of two hundred thousand active troops and three hundred thousand reserve troops.
  • Inclusion of legal provisions to guarantee due process, equality before the law, freedom of speech and right to petition to all individuals within its territory.
  • Ban over the use of the death penalty or other cruel and unusual punishments and commutation of all inmates on death row.
  • Dissolution of all bounty hunting groups and condemnation of the apprehension methods used by the aforementioned groups.
  • Opening of good faith negotiations with popular leaders in Nueva España in order to reach an agreement on the cessation of hostilities and the establishment of measures for the adequate development of the population thereof.
4. Continuation of International Sanctions

Member States are encouraged to continue imposing sanctions against the Constitutional Monarchy of Ryccia until such a time that the Commission submits a final report before the Southern Council confirming the full compliance with the terms of this resolution and recommending the lifting of all sanctions and penalties. Reports on the progress of compliance and relevant recommendations should be submitted by the Commission at least once a month.

5. Guarantees for the Commission

This Council asks that Ryccia extend the following courtesies and guarantees to the members and families of the Commission:
  • Immunity from arrest and prosecution.
  • Privilege against searches and seizures.
  • Inviolability over their baggages and personal effects.
  • Transit throughout its territory without arbitrary limitations.
  • Protection when traveling to unsafe areas.
  • Facilities for business and living throughout the duration of the mission.
6. Signatories

This Resolution shall be binding upon all members of the Southern Cooperation Organisation and shall be open to all other nations for signature and support. The Secretary General shall serve as depositary of this Resolution and inform this Council of all new signatories.

I do not appreciate the blatant plagiarism. I am the one who wrote this proposal and I find it far from amusing that you would try to pass it as your own.

You have no right to copy my work without permission and pass it as your own. That resolution had been drafted, debated and passed. Including a minor notice with my name at the bottom of your post, after you've been called out on it, changes nothing. You still plagiarized my work.

Furthermore, from an in-character perspective, the resolution had passed, it is law, it is binding. The Ryccian government has no need to propose something that already exists.

Overall, I am extremely disappointed and angry at this. Even if plagiarism is not explicitly against the rules, I would have assumed everyone would have the common sense not to do it.

Look at it in detail. This has some little tweaks. They are not the same draft.

Compare it to your draft, and see the little tweaks Im proposing.

Which is irrelevant. You don't get to take it someone else's work and just alter it as if it was your original idea. I never gave you permission to use it, which leads us back to the issue of plagiarism.

No, I'm not. You're not getting it. You have used my work, and I did not give my permission. You should not be using the text of that resolution at all. I couldn't care less if you call it "proposal" or "amendment".

You should not use people's work without their permission.

Speaking of which, no, you don't have permission to use my resolution.
