THE GLOBAL ASSEMBLY ​

OFFICIAL POLLING CARD THE ASSEMBLY​

​ [ASSEMBLY MEMBER]: Fernando Paulo de Noronha [DATE]: 04/1996 [VOTE]: DECLINE [REASON ]: It should be in the interest of the nations involved within the conflict to protect those who cannot defend themselves, such as women and children, the decision for a peacekeeping force to be sent to the battlefield should be taken by the nations involved in the battlefield, not of the international community. This resolution gives an unfair ability to the Global Assembly of intervening in matters that should be decided by the involved nations, and not the international community. ​
