Overview

Pazu-Lenny Kasigi-Nero and Forgottenlord agreed in September 2005 to propose a resolution about divorce. As their both agenda was booked, they wrote a draft off-forum and posted it on the UN forum only mid-November.

For Pazu-Lenny Kasigi-Nero, the clause -1.5-, close from Sweden and Finland legislation was something essential to this proposal.

It shall be noted than just before the debate, Pazu-Lenny Kasigi-Nero got engaged to Midori Kasigi-Nero, the Deputy UN Ambassador from Kirisubo, hence his name change, his former name was Nero. He was on a business-romance trip to the empire of Kirisubo, and as they extended their trip, he arrived late at the general Assembly debate. This Love-affair complicated the debate, as Midori was a strong opponent to this resolution, and Kirisubo a member of a franchise Gatesville’s franchise region; Gatesville being the main Anti-UN region and Love and esterel, obviously a pro-UN region
