Re: Resolution 2006/22: Concerning Membership of all countries in the MUNTwo things, firstly a clarification. Is this resolution calling for members to occupy Permanent seats for two months or for at least two months.
Secondly should point 4 read:
Authorises The Secretary General and the Security Council to terminate the said obligation by passing a Vote of No Confidence, which is initiated in the General Assembly;
Once these have been clarified Russia is likely to support this resolution. -

Re: Resolution 2006/22: Concerning Membership of all countries in the MUNI think we discussed something like this in the Off Topic thread at one point, and then we made a resolution about Non Permanent members, but this is the first time were setting obligations on the length of times one must represent a country.

Re: Resolution 2006/23: Concerning Membership of all countries in the MUNSpain is concerned that roughly 50% of resolutions seem to be on how the UN is run rather than global issues, but recognises that as they are not making proposals they are being hypocritical. For the record, Spain supports this resolution.

Re: Resolution 2006/22: Concerning Membership of all countries in the MUNAh okay - i remember going through the motions for something similar to this earlier.(Original post by Nightowl)

Re: Resolution 2006/23: Concerning Membership of all countries in the MUNWe would like the text of this draft resolution to be amended to specifically mention how exactly the Secretary General or UNGA is expected to monitor the movement of representatives, and the time that a representative switches countries, since this can be quite confusing with many other matters to look into.
Australia also wishes to define explicitly the term "month" as 30 days, because this can be interpreted as 31 (or even 28 days) by other member countries. Furthermore, we stress there must be a MINIMUM of 30 complete days, and not even an hour less, for this resolution to be honoured.
We look forward to the adjustments. -

Re: Resolution 2006/23: Concerning Membership of all countries in the MUNMaybe a clause about it being possible to receive immunity to the rule by permission of the security council might be appropriate. I really doubt it will be a problem however, even without such an amendment.
