The Security Council,
RECOGNIZING The Federation of Auralia as one of the most prolific General Assembly authors of all time, having passed twelve resolutions to date;
PRAISING Auralia's commitment to promoting economic development and international trade, especially through the following resolutions:
GA#209 (World Assembly Trade Rights), which promotes free trade by prohibiting discrimination in international trade between World Assembly member states,
GA#226 (WA Development Foundation), which encourages foreign investment and structural adjustments in developing World Assembly member states,
GA#232 (Foreign Copyright Recognition), which provides legal recognition and protection for copyright in all World Assembly member states,
GA#256 (Foreign Trademark Recognition), which provides legal recognition and protection for trademarks in all World Assembly member states;
APPLAUDING Auralia's repeals of poorly written environmental legislation, including the following resolutions:
GA#246 (Repeal "Vehicle Emissions Convention"), which repealed a resolution that arbitrarily required World Assembly member states to implement a progressive schedule for automobile emissions reduction regardless of their current emissions levels,
GA#262 (Repeal "Rainforest Protection Act"), which repealed a resolution that needlessly prohibited certain farming and mining practices in rainforests,
GA#283 (Repeal "Industrial Pollution Control"), which repealed a resolution that contained vague and contradictory pollution reduction mandates;
NOTING WITH INTEREST Auralia's vision for the General Assembly, particularly the nation's planned reforms to the de facto constitution of the World Assembly, GA#2 (Rights and Duties of WA States);
GRATEFUL for Auralia's many technical and administrative contributions to the General Assembly and the NationStates community at large, including:
a comprehensive list of passed General Assembly resolutions by author,
a tool that allows nations to easily communicate with a vast number of other nations,
another tool that allows nations to easily manage protectorates;
ADMIRING Auralia's contributions to Lazarus and the South Pacific as a World Assembly adviser to both regions, and to the nation's home region of Catholic as a former delegate and member of the High Council of that region;
BELIEVING that Auralia's substantial contributions to the international community make the nation a worthy nominee for commendation by the Security Council;
HEREBY COMMENDS The Federation of Auralia.
Thane's Opinion
I'm late in putting this up but only because I was totally stunned by how quickly it attained Quorum. I'm against this due to Auralia's history of RPing non-compliance and attempting to force Catholic beliefs on the WA in resolutions with misleading titles, so I'm voting against. Unfortunately, the big delegates stacked for this, so it looks like its going to pass. Which is disappointing.
