Resolution 2006/28: Concerning the Statement of Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi

OP

The Bhutan has decided to remove Clause 3 from the Resolution. Presumably that means we'll have to re-submit it for a second poll...

Effectively a second resolution (Resolution 2006/28), because this resolution has failed.

South Africa believes a resolution calling on all Muslim leaders to quell the violence in their respective fields of influence would be more appropriate.

And even that, WITHOUT threatening any sanctions (especially military action) should the situation not appear to calm down in the near future. Furthermore, Australia does not find the level of violence with regard to this issue alarming, to an extent that would warrant an entire resolution on the matter.

A more generic resolution to call for global calm on this matter would naturally receive our support though.

A whole new Resolution? Bah. Very well. :p:

A more general clause will be substituted for the now-infamous Clause 3; Clauses 1 and 2 will remain the same.

Not yet.

There's still time although I'm not optimistic of anyone else voting in favour, although if they did this could be modified in the SC.

Pakistan is disappointed with the speech made by the pope, even though the area was a quote of the Byzantine king, its implication was quite clear. We have strived to remove the terrorists from our state as well as in Afghanistan, allies to both the US and UK in their war on terror. Pakistan would like to remind the community that in these sensitive times, it is actively seeking and disbanding any extremist activity as well as working with its religous leaders.

Kenya reccomends that we start a resolution about The Pope before this one. The Catholic Church's stance on condoms in Africa is killing more people then Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi ever could.

Russia would like to point out that representatives are supposed to vote and act with their countries stance rather than their own opinion. For example I will be vetoing resolution 2006/28 despite the fact that personally there is nothing I'd like to see more* than to see it pass.

Russia is particularly concerned by the rather unrealistic comments from the Kenyan representative and fears that some of the Muslim members are letting their personal religious prejudices influence the way their country has voted.

*well ok there are quite a lot of things I’d like to see more.

Nefarious - you talking about me? I thought that would be the stance of Pakistan to be honest.

Actually considering who you represent I thought you were very reasonable.

We don't want to know about those, though :wink:

Yes. Ahem. The Bhutan echoes Russia's call for delegates to remain in character.

Oh goodie, thanks. I just was trying to be balanced in my approached with Pakistan's past and present involvement with terror conflict.

Not much, just like how the Vatican doesn't have (technically speaking) much influence over the UN..... despite the fact that the Pope leads 1 billion Catholics worldwide. Wow.
