"A resolution against terror
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.
Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Ricardo and Smith
Description: Jihadist states shall be deemed illegitimate and undemocratic.
No religion gives the justifcation needed for war.
In a time of great insecurity, all well-meaning states will gently encourge Jihadist states to democratise.
- Trade sanctions.
- Diplomatic meetings.
- A policy of containment.
Jihad can also describe an individuals interpretation of faith. This resolution respects this distinction on an individual level.
Approvals: 1 (Ricardo and Smith)
Status: Lacking Support (requires 148 more approvals)
Voting Ends: Thu Apr 21 2005"
This was posted recently by Ricardo and Smith, a nation I was trying to recruit and one that dropped by to have a look at the region. R&S is looking for approvals for this, but I telegrammed back that I thought it was a good idea but it needs a lot more work before people will make it a formal proposal, let alone adopt it in a full vote.
Since we have such success writing UN proposals, do we want to take this one on? I'm all for it, and I will work on it on my own even if the rest of the IDU does not because it combines several of my cherished values: democracy, diplomacy, moderation, secularism and peace. I would, however, be happy to defer to the experts in these matter who have actually had proposals successfully adopted.
