Factual accuracy check
Hi I had some questions about UN section of the article. First: it says Ariddia left the UN, but it also says Ariddia is a CACE member. Given UN membership is a requirement of CACE membership, has Ariddia's membership been suspended, or has ESAT assumed this role?
Also: there is a list of resolutions that were changed. But I don't understand how this is so. Specifically:
- UN Taxation Ban repealed - does this mean the UN can now directly tax Ariddia's citizens?
- United Nations Security Act repealed - does this mean Ariddia now does not have the right to construct any defensive weaponry?
- Education for All reinstated - what does this mean, given Free Education does not appear to have been repealed?
- National Systems of Tax reinstated - again, how so, given Representation in Taxation has not been repealed?
- Elimination of Bio Weapons reinstated - once more, I do not see the 'point', given UN Biological Weapons Ban is not repealed.
- Legalize Prostitution reinstated - yet again, is this possible, given The Sex Industry Worker Act is not repealed?
- Save the forests of the World reinstated - in what way can an essay be 'reinstated'?
Maybe I am missing something, but I think this section may need to be reworked, to conform to a greater level of factual accuracy.
- Hi, whoever you are. Regarding UN membership, Ariddia has simply adopted its own version of the strategy which a number of other nations use (Knootoss, Cluichstan...) to remain within the UN without being affected by its resolutions. For CACE purposes, ESAT probably holds Ariddia's official CACE membership, but is merely a mouthpiece for Ariddia itself. It's a matter of legal technicality.
- Regarding those resolutions, as it says in the article, Ariddia has 'reinstated' them as a matter of principle, adapting them to fit into Ariddian legislation. Which mean they're technically Ariddian statutes, but more specific legislation exists covering much the same ground. Regarding the UN Security Act, for example, I fail to see how repealing it would prohibit Ariddia from constructing weapons. A repeal means a void in legislation, not a prohibition of any kind. I'm not sure what you mean by "factual accuracy"; maybe that part of the article is just a little confusing? If so, I can rework it, or maybe shorten it and make it less specific.
