Blockland Forums Model United Nations
Welcome to the
Blockland Forums Model United Nations!"what the hell is this" - probably you!
The BLFMUN is a forum game where you will pick a nation and proceed to obtain a seat in the United Nations and decide on issues going from humanitarian to homeland security! As you and the other players vote on decisions, you will shape the game's future and hopefully not cause nuclear apocalypse.
"How will it work?"There will be a 2 day period that will take into account 3 things:
1. Issue, 2. Methods, 3. Voting
On day 1, a issue will be presented to you
(NOTE: You are completely welcome to submit issues through PM.) and the players will proceed to create methods to solve the problem over time. On the next day, voting will begin and methods will be voted on between the nations. When voting has finished, the country who made the method will proceed their actually enact their method through RP and the GM/moderators will determine if it is effective or not.
"Will the Security Council/other divisions of the UN be taken into consideration?"Regarding the Security Council: The permanent members (China, Russia, France, UK and the US) will be allowed 1 veto to renew each week once casted. I WILL be picky about who becomes these nations. If they believe a method is inconsolable, they may veto it
before it ever reaches the voting table. (EDIT: If the security council are HELLBENT on stopping the vote, ALL security council nations MUST VOTE to veto the vote) If they can't do it by then, too bad, so sad. If a UN member believes this method is still consolable, they may call for a counter-veto, which members will vote on to veto the veto on the first day and morning of the second day. After a veto has been counter-vetoed, the method cannot be vetoed again.
Regarding other divisions of the UN: The divisions of the UN will be taken into effect once a method rolls out.
Rules:1. Do NOT RP for someone else or create a method in someone else's name. It MUST come from their mouth, not your's.
2. Don't be a richard.
3. Don't make unrealistic methods to solve issues.
4. UN SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERS: Do NOT!!! forget around with your veto.
5. Remember to study your sources and use actual information to solve issues.
school is a bitch!!
it's time
Political status of Kosovo
Kosovo is a disputed territory and partially recognised state in Southeast Europe that declared independence from Serbia in February 2008 as the Republic of Kosovo. The small territory of Kosovo has been disputed over it's legitimacy for some years. Claiming it's own independence from Serbia in 2008, only few major countries have recognized it's independence.
It resides within the European Community, and was a part of the former Communist bastion of Yugoslavia. Stemming from the breakup of Yugoslavia at the end of the 20th century, and the ensuing Yugoslav wars. In 1999 the administration of the province was handed on an interim basis to the United Nations under the terms of UNSCR 1244 which ended the Kosovo conflict of that year. That resolution reaffirmed the sovereignty of Serbia over Kosovo but required the UN administration to promote the establishment of 'substantial autonomy and self-government' for Kosovo pending a 'final settlement' for negotiation between the parties.
The UN-sponsored talks began in February 2006, and though no agreement was reached between the parties, a proposal from UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari was presented in May 2007 which recommended 'supervised independence' for the province. After many weeks of discussions at the UN in New York, the United States, United Kingdom and other European members of the Security Council formally 'discarded' a draft resolution backing Ahtisaari's proposal on 20 July 2007, having failed to secure Russian backing.
On 17 February 2008 representatives of the people of Kosovo, acting outside the UNMIK's PISG framework issued a declaration of independence establishing the Republic of Kosovo. The International Court of Justice ruled that the declaration did not violate international law and argued that the signatory authors represented the broad will of the People of Kosovo, rather than the Assembly of Kosovo under the umbrella of UN resolution 1244.
A method must be created to protect Kosovo's independence gracefully or return it to Serbia.
