It is my general impression that over the last six months, many flawed resolutions have been passed by the UN. A recent example of this would be the union-rights resolution, which many people agreed with in principle (protection of union rights) but likely over-stepped its bounds (went beyond securing rights, and instead legislated specific non-rights related laws on all UN nations).
That is only one of numerous examples where a good idea was taken to an extreme, and then passed, contrary to the true spirit and intention of the UN.
If there is some support of the idea, I'd like to propose a "made in Canada" UN resolutions review committee, whereby nations can propose flawed UN resolutions, and try to propose new resolutions which are consistent with the old resolutions, but which ensure that the aggregious portions of the old, flawed resolutions are struck out.
We would draft the new resolutions and review the various drafts on this forum until there was a general concensus (if you want legalistic wording, I'm your guy, if you want a plain language approach, I can try, but I suspect someone else would be better suited to that).
Once the wording is finalized, we could come up with a strategy to try to get the resolution approved by the requisite amount of delegates to be put to a vote.
Anyway, this is something I've wanted to try for some time now, and thought I'd throw it out there for consumption now that it appears our region is slightly more active.
An interesting idea, there are a few of the UN resolutions I looked at that, at first glance, looked good but, had indepth problems.
One of the problems in this game is not everyone will approach elolutions form a legalistic background and may miss some fo the finer points. To me the biggest question will be "Does this resolution oppose what issues I've decided for my nation.
Yeah, that's clearly the approach most people take. They look at the general intent, and don't examine the finer points. It drives me insane - some of thos resolutions could be so much better than they are now. However, I seem to be one of the few people bothered by this.
