The Security Council

Commend Libertanny

Commendation

Nominee: Libertanny

A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.

Proposed by Aivintis
The Security Council,

Believing that there exists few nations of such caliber that can permanently better the fates of their regions through work of extraordinary difficulty and nearly unmatched inspiration, of which Libertanny of The East Pacific (TEP) can be counted,

Applauding Libertanny’s contributions to TEP as Minister of Information in early 2018 and Chief Minister of Communications in late 2018, a period in which they worked to involve members of the unrepresented Regional Message Board (RMB) community within the Ministry, and played an integral role in expanding the reach and scope of the Eastern Pacific News Service (EPNS) as an informative tool, also repealing the EPNS Act (which heavily restricted the operations of the EPNS) in the Magisterium so that the EPNS could function with greater flexibility and effectiveness,

Identifying Libertanny’s contributions to design and art in TEP, serving as Minister of Design in late 2018, where they engaged a formerly decaying ministry, circulating various design programs to assist nations in their pursuits, and creating numerous designs including the TEP delegate seal as well as various flags, badges, and awards.

Admiring Libertanny’s valiant efforts to oppose the 2019 coup d’etat of TEP by Fedele via the founding of a legislative bloc which actively and publicly opposed Fedele’s actions, the proposal of a symbolic Magisterial resolution to condemn Fedele for openly ignoring regional law, and the assistance in unendorsement campaigns during the coup to depose the usurper, ultimately playing a vital role to overcome the subversion,

Recognizing Libertanny’s restructuring of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following the coup, creating a new leadership council consisting of senior diplomats and delegating leadership responsibilities to it, helping democratize the decision-making process, ease the burden of leadership, and allow for such greater efficiency that it remains in use to this day,

Noting Libertanny’s extensive structural reforms of TEP’s Government during their eight-month tenure as Delegate, including but not limited to:
  1. Empowering World Assembly influence in the region by establishing the independence of the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs from the purview of any other ministries, strengthening its decision-making power and building engagement within this very Assembly,
  2. Creating Ambassador positions for various, underrepresented communities within TEP's government, such as the RMB and the Cards Association, TEAPOT; connecting TEP’s government to more isolated parts of the region and fostering a greater sense of community in TEP,
  3. Instituting the precedent of allowing regional legislature representation in treaty negotiations, improving upon the prolonged process of drafting treaties and eliminating a large hindrance to the advancement of interregional diplomacy, and
  4. Directing the creation of REWARD without aid, a World Assembly Development Program which has strengthened regional security by incentivizing the endorsement of regional security officers and encouraged a more vibrant endorsement culture within the region,
Saluting Libertanny’s contributions to TEP diplomacy during their delegacy, mainly by building treaties emphasizing goodwill, mutual defense, and cooperation, with regions such as The Free Nations Region and Thaecia, both of which have become some of TEP’s closest allies,

Appreciating Libertanny’s initiative in creating and helping to host all editions of the well regarded 2020 “Paradoxical Event”, a gaming festival regularly enjoyed by 100+ nations; this boosted regional activity for participating regions, and encouraging the forming of new and bountiful international relationships; and in founding the subsequent “Paradoxical Corporation,” which will continue to host such events,

Accrediting that Libertanny has single-handedly transformed and bettered The East Pacific as a respected leader, hard worker, and reformer on a caliber befitting such a commendation,

Hereby Commends Libertanny.

Honestly, this isn't the most commendable of nominees, but it's very well written.

Against. No degree of good writing will make up for an uncommendable nominee.

A very poor argument. I'm sure someone has already had a conversation with you on why a proposal shouldn't be passed just because it is well-written.

It's dubious whether many of the listed achievements actually improve the region. For example, the so-called "independence of the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs" was essentially a nominal change, which didn't really affect the running of the ministry. The practice of including the legislature in treaty negotiations I don't recall improving the efficiency much, and I don't believe it was continued after his Delegacy. Developing REWARD is good, but it was done without an aid only because they failed to utilise their relationship with regions like TNP. And of course the proposal leaves out the various failures of his Delegacy, including The Consortium, an ill-conceived project, and some pretty bad diplomatic fallout with TWP and Osiris. To be clear, the failure isn't about losing relations with TWP and Osiris, but rather on how it looked to outside observers.

I'm not entirely opposed to single region contributor commends if it's a storied and exemplary record, Tsunamy for example. But looking at this commend it seems like it starts in 2018 and includes some really basic things, some of which Gorundu mentioned.

Kind of throwing stones from a glass house since I think my commend mentions endo dispatches of all things, but I'm Against this.

I enjoy talking to Lib, and think he's a neato burrito. But not commendable at this time.
