A resolution sponsored by the Cuban delegation has successfully been adopted by the committee. The resolution, which confers significant latitude on the states’ parties to determine the terms on which religious freedom is protected, recommends the creation of a religious register.
The purpose of such a register is to allow state authorities to monitor idolatrous elements of the citizenry and alert public safety offices to the prospect of security threats. Despite protests by more laissez-faire and socially degenerate states, Cuba was able to achieve great diplomatic success in deftly moving the resolution through the council.
This, significantly, represents not merely a failure by Western states to enforce a treacherous and internationally myopic resolution against vulnerable states, but a truly impressive win for the recognition of human rights regimes in socialist nations as models for the rest of the world.
The resolution further urged the elimination of religious discrimination, the protection of people affected by religious discrimination, and other such good things presently covered by existing DPRK laws.
On a vaguely related point, authorship of the resolution was the responsibility of the US.

After the sudden death of Queen Margret on the 12th of December 1564, the court is discussing who will be the heir to the kingdom of England.
Charles is the “rightful” and “lawful” heir to the kingdom, said the Earl of Northumberland. The kingdom currently needs a ruler who will bring “stability”, “peace” and help in enhancing the “legacy” of the Her Majesty, suggested the Earl of Northumberland to the court. The Earl of Devon supports the Earl of Northumberland for suggesting Charles be the heir. William Somerset, the Earl of Worcester, will lead the kingdom to “death”, said the Earl of Northumberland.
The Earl of Kent expressed his support for William Somerset, the Earl of Worcester from House of Lancaster, House of Beaufort. If someone from England claims the throne, “without conflict”, it will take “foreign interest out”, the Earl of Kent suggested. The Earl of Kent insisted that a “disruptive force” is not needed in the kingdom of England.
Given the historical imbalances in the kingdom of England, the Earl of Kent indicated that the Spanish and the Scots will “pull England apart”, the Lord said. The Lord of Sussex and Lord of Derby support William’s claim to the throne.
The duke of Norfolk doubts the legitimacy of William Somerset. “How can any man support a man like Somerset?”, said the Duke of Norfolk.
Queen Mary has 8,000 troops marching towards the Kingdom from the north of the kingdom. The Earl of Northumberland, Warwick, Norfolk and Devon indicated their support for the Queen who is set to marry Charles and form an alliance.

The court “assures” the people of England a lawful heir to the kingdom which will be decided later today. The court wishes “peace” and “prosperity” in the kingdom and wants the people to have faith in the Lords.
The court is also fearing an attack from the Spanish troops who claim Charles of Westminster, Prince of Wales from House of House of Tudor and House of York to be the lawful heir. The Prince is good friends with the Spanish and will be marching towards the kingdom with an army of 5,000 men from the south.
The court also fears an attack from the Scottish headed by the Queen of Scots, Mary. The 5,000 Scottish troops will be entering the kingdom from the north via Northumberland.
William Somerset claims that he is the rightful heir to the throne. He has supporters in the kingdom which has let him have a troop of 700 footmen and 700 archers who are currently stationed in Sussex.
