Ricardo and Smith's new and improved version telegrammed to me:
"Outlaw Religous Terror
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
At the present time, the UN does not have a universal definition of religious terror. Therefore some states are ?legitimately? assisting organisations they regard as ?freedom fighters? or ?liberation armies?.
A religious terrorist group is an organisation that seeks spread its spiritual or fundamentalist religious ideals through the use of force. This force includes domestic terrorism and international terrorism.
A country promoting religious terror is doing one or more of the following
-Offering financial, logistical, military or intelligence support to religious terrorists.
-Providing a safe-haven for religious terrorists to hide or operate.
Countries guilty of refusing to outlaws religious terror will be dealt with in the following way.
- Political leaders of the terror states must meet the UN Delegate of the victim state and promise an end to terror attacks.
- If terrorist atrocities do not desist in the victim state. Then all UN member states cease to trade with the terror-supporting state. This includes economic, financial and military trade. As well as humanitarian aid. The terror state is now a pariah state.
- If terrorist atrocities do not desist. The victim state has the right to attack the terrorist state in anyway it chooses. Other UN members have the right assist victim in attacking the terrorist state in anyway they like. No other state has the right to assist the terror-supporting state. If they do, the above steps will be repeated for them.
Please endorse it."
Language changed to make it apply to all fanatical religious wars, more specific descriptions of actions, easily bumps it up two notches. But I think we can still do better. Especially to get majority support. 8^)
