Description: The Security Council, a indipendent organ of the World Assembly,
RECOGNIZING the region 10000 Islands as a pioneer of Nationstates, being one of the first to create an off-site forum, adopt a Constitution, introduce a regional economy and establish a regional currency for role-play in 2003, thereby pushing the boundaries of game play and setting the conventions for many regions that come after;
RECOGNIZING the fact that 10000 Islands has managed to accomplish the difficult task of remaining active and maintaining a population of over 200 nations for six years;
ACKNOWLEDGING the existence of TITO, the Ten thousand Islands Treaty Organization, a defender army based in 10000 Islands;
APPLAUDING the region of which TITO is based out of, 10000 Islands, for initiating over 1000 successful defensive interventions (through the mobilization of TITO-involved WA nations) to protect hundreds of regions from raider invasion:
AWARE that TITO keeps the World Assembly from being overwhelmed with liberation requests, as their goal of "seek[ing] to live in peace with all regions in NationStates, but [refusing to] back down to the those that wish to impose their will on innocent regions" shares its fundamental principles with the Security Council's "[dedication] to the dissemination of inter-regional peace and goodwill, via force if necessary."
NOTING that 10000 Islands was the very first region that was commended, but the commendation was withdrawn because it was poorly written;
BELIEVING that these contributions go far beyond what can normally be expected from a region, and are hence worthy of World Assembly comendation;
HEREBY commends 10000 Islands.
So, any suggestion???

I like it. I don't know how necessary this clause is, but it doesn't really matter much:

RECOGNIZING the fact that 10000 Islands has managed to accomplish the difficult task of remaining active and maintaining a population of over 200 nations for six years;
ACKNOWLEDGING the existence of the Ten thousand Islands Treaty Organization (TITO), a well-known defender army based in 10000 Islands;
NOTING the achievements of TITO, including its claim of having carried out more than 1,000 successful defensive interventions (through the mobilization of WA nations) to protect regions from raider invasion; (Frankly, I like this clause from GRO's draft)
AWARE that TITO's defence of invasion targets keeps the Security Council from being overwhelmed with liberation requests, as their goal of "seek[ing] to live in peace with all regions in NationStates, but [refusing to] back down to the those that wish to impose their will on innocent regions" and is in keeping with the Security Council's fundamental principle of "the dissemination of inter-regional peace and goodwill, via force if necessary";

I agree that TITO ought to be recognised for outstanding achievement, but this resolution insinuates that defending is somehow morally superior to raiding. It just isn't, they're two different ideologies and neither is superior to the other. If you want to do this then you might as well create a region called "The Defender Ideology" and commend it, it's the same effect.

I could argue all day about defending being morally superior, but I won't bother. I'll simply say that most people in NS recognise it as the case (if they have an opinion on it), and that the resolution could easily pass if it stated that.

By whom? I don't see the necessity, anyway.

I think so; but it's your call.

I didn't. I just trimmed unnecessary flab, and reworded the second part about the SC motto, because the clause as a whole contained too much added-in missing text (within square brackets).

I know that WA neutrality as a law hasn't been enforced, but that doesn't mean that as an IC organisation to uphold the interests of the whole world it shouldn't be neutral. Of course it should and as such we shouldn't commend regions for taking a certain side, it should be for excellence in what they have achieved or benefiting the whole world.
