Cobdenian UN Compliance

Cobdenia, although a member of the UN and active within the General Assembly, does have some issues with compliance, be it due to to the fact they cannot comply to the original spirit of the resolution due to the slight time warp problem, or because they don't want to comply with the spirit of certain legislation because it's rubbish or otherwise detrimental to the Cobdenian economy.

Below is the list of resolutions which Cobdenia does not truly enforce or adhere to in either spriti or wordin or both, and those which are irrelevent to Cobdenian legislation, and their compliance status:

4. UN Taxation Ban: Irrelevent to Cobdenia, as it deals with only international law restrictions

7. Sexual Freedom: Non-compliance; we cannot in good faith permit people to do whatever they like just because both consent to the activity. Such as the manufactur of weapons.

11. Ban Single-Hulled Tankers: Non-Compliance as we still have a few wooden hulled tankers about

24. Metric System Non compliance as we find the metric system inferior to other measurements in some fields, such as astronomy and naval and air navigation.

25. Child Protection Act: Compliance in wording but not spirit as we permit the use of corporal punishments in schools

26. Universal Bill of Rights: Compliance in spirit but not wording, as in the Cobdenia judicial system, there are three possible verdicts: not guilty, guilty and not proved, with the barristers attempting to proove one way or the other. If there is reasonble doubt of either, the verdict should be given as not proved, and thus one is "not proved until proven innocent or guilty"

32: Global AIDS Initiative: Irrelevent to Cobdenia, as we don't have AIDS yet

39: Altenative Fuels: Compliance in wording but not spirit. Oil is slowly beginning to supplant coal as the main fuel source in Cobdenia, thus all reseacrh is to new types of oil based fuels.

47. Definition of Fair Trial: Compliance in spirit but not wording (see resolution 26)

50. United Nations Space Consortium: Irrelevent to Cobdenia, as we don't even have reliable aeroplanes let alone space rockets

52. Ballast Water: Legal Non-Compliance due to Optionality; we have no idea what deoxification equiptment or UV steralizers are.

55. World Blood Bank: Non-compliance, as we do not possess the technology to stroe blood in banks or keep blood outside of the body

56. Bio Rights Declaration: Irrelevent to Cobdenia, as we have no clones or genetically engineered lifeforms

64. Tracking Near Eart Objects: Legal non-compliance due to optionality, we don't have the technology to do this

70. Banning whaling: Non-compliance, as we do not feel that whales are endangered or need protection

71. Sustainable Energy Sources: Non-compliance, as we do not have the technology for non-fossil fuel energy sources

72. Reduction of Green House Gases: Non-compliance, as we do not have the technology for non-fossil fuel energy sources

75. The Nuclear Terrorism Act Irrelevent, as we do not have the technology for nuclear weapons and cannot import them

82. Stem Cell Research Funding Legal non-compliance due to optionality, as we don't have the technology

84. NS HIV AIDS Act Irrelevent to Cobdenia, we don't have HIV or AIDS

89. Rights of Indigenous Peoples Non-compliance. If the Fraganoo's culture didn't involve sporadic blood fueds, kidnapping children and marrying them, and attempting to wipe out the 12 Infantry Brigade, then we would be in compliance

96. UNWODC Non-compliance, as we do not possess the technology to store organs or otherwise perform transplants

131. IT Education Act Non-compliance, as Cobdenia has only one computer. It is mechanical, and tells people cookie recipes.

172. Help Prevent Ozone Depletion Non-compliance, as there are no alternatives to CFC's at this moment in time in Cobdenia

174. Orbital Space Safety Act Irrelevent to Cobdenia, as we have nothing in space
