CoN 4: Resolution VI

Background
The Council is in uproar, after the passing of Resolution V. The Netherlands and Portugal are citing regional discrimination. The Pope and Trier, though not involved in colonization, had mixed feelings on the matter. Ethiopia didn't even read it, and they were outraged. Malaya, the Mughals, and Japan saw it as a way to protect themselves from the inevitable. Inevitably, however, the Council would change its mind on the matter.

2 MAR 1586

Whereas sentiment has risen as a result of Resolution V;

Whereas it has become known to the Council that the member state of Ethiopia failed to read the fine print;

Whereas the Resolution is denounced, even by it's author;

Henceforth the Netherlands, and many other member states in the Council are calling for the immediate repealment and voiding of the Resolution.

Yea - Resolution V, and all of it's declarations, are to be repealed, no longer relevant to the Council or Judiciary.

Nay - Resolution V will not be repealed. The Resolution remains relevant.

Abstain

Official Vote
The Official Vote of the Council was as follows;

Yea: 7

Nay: 1

Abstain: 0 Final Verdict: The Council votes in favor of repealing Resolution V.

Aftermath
Though Resolution V had been repealed and Europeans could now legally colonize Asia unrestricted, a deal had been brokered between some of the European and Asian states. The Old World would remain mostly untouched for the time being. The New World, however, was anyone's game.
