Security Council Vote Recommendation

Resolution at Vote: Commend BearNation
Vote Recommendation: Against

Ministry Review
Written by Mousepony

The majority of the commendation for BearNation seems to focus on the "promotion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) equal rights throughout Nationstates" (largely through serving as WA Delegate for Gay), which sounds great on the surface. However, the Constitution for the region of Gay - which the Commendation text states was authored by BearNation - contains a few concerning points:

  • Section 11D equates "raiders" with "fascists and Nazis" and "homophobes."

  • Section 14 refuses the opportunity for anyone who has ever raided (with one exception) to serve in any major governmental office within Gay.

These clauses undermine the "promotion of LGBT rights" that BearNation has hypothetically put forward, as they only serve to promote rights within Gay for LGBT players that are defender leaning or neutral. It seems hypocritical to celebrate BearNation as a player that promotes equality within his region, when this Constitution stands as a documentation of the region's bigotry.

For these reasons, we recommend a vote against this commendation.
