| If we ever did go to war, we would do our utmost to ensure no civilians get harmed, cause we're great like that. However, could this resolution really achieve it's stated goals? How could it be enforced? Will there be UN observers making notes in the battlefield? It's a great idea in theory, but I just can't see it working. |

| 'Meh' seems to be the word for this one... Good idea but unenforcible. Lord Mackey abstains. |

| I'll abstain as well. Seems like a good idea, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to enforce this and it kind of seems like they are trying to tell people how to run their military. |

| Lamoni will abstain for the same reasons as Starblaydia and Khazaron. |

| With a 1-2-4 majority, the Bettian delegate really can't be bothered to vote. |
