Statement from the World Assembly Delegate on vote AGAINST Security Council proposal "A Celebration of Exceptional Rarity"

Comrades,

I have voted AGAINST the current proposal at vote before the Security Council (page=sc), "A Celebration of Exceptional Rarity." Currently, the vote amongst SLU members is 11 in favor and two (including myself) against. As such, the Constitution requires that I explain why my vote differs from present regional majority opinion.

In short, it is my strong opinion that the Security Council is not the proper venue for this proposal. The mission of the Security Council is to "spread interregional peace and goodwill, via force if necessary" and to "recognize and respond to individual nations and regions, with the aim of ensuring global harmony;" to this end, the Security Council commends and condemns nations which contribute to global peace dynamics and liberates regions deemed to be under unjust occupation. What purpose does a resolution which encourages nations to engage in a "Leap Day Jig" once every 4 years have before the Security Council? No purpose whatsoever. For this reason I have cast my vote AGAINST the proposal.
