Against the current GA proposal because apart from anything else it (note where I've added underlining): "Requires Member Nations, in making their determination, to consider whether war is necessary for self defense, to protect an innocent nation from imminent danger, or to correct a grave public evil such as aggression or a violation of basic human rights;"
Well, if you're trying to engage in military combat with a terrorist state, declaring war on the state doesn't seem so burdensome - it seems routine, actually. Killing individual terrorists, on the other hand, isn't typically done unilaterally anyway - and even though the U.S. has broken that standard before, I don't think it's a very good idea to intervene in another nation to kill citizens suspected of being terrorists without the the consent of that nation. Personally, I'm very neutral on the current resolution at vote as written, but I think its goals are straightforward and agreeable enough. I agree, there are some improvements that could be made, but I don't think the concept's such a bad idea... Ehh, I digress. I've lodged my vote against the resolution, in accordance with the will of the region.
On a separate note, I apologize for my limited activity lately, I've been busy in real life. Now that most of my exams are over (for the time being...), I should be resuming normal levels of activity.
The state I'm referring to is a roleplay thing I'm planning on bringing in later, and it's basically Somalia but with a religious terrorist movement staying there. Arthuriana, while passively pacifist, will respond violently to anyone attempting to violate their peace. For example, recently a Violetist defence minister of the state in question was discovered to have been putting together a plot to do the equivalent of 9/11 to Arthuriana. He then had the nerve to visit Arthuriana to discuss an aid and peace package. The First Consul took the opportunity, with the agreement of the other Consuls, to have his plane "disappear" on the flight back.

And if we do not have some regulation of this board, let's please keep political advertisement to the telegrams.
Against the current GA proposal at vote. That final line in it rubbed me the wrong way.
I'm inclined to agree. Reasonable idea, bad implementation.
That may be being a bit generous, the reasonable idea part.
