| Message | We cannot agree with Article 2 on this, and are on the fence about Article 1. How would we define "extreme circumstances"? It seems to be an easy tool that any government, now or future, can use to block out certain refugees, simply because that government does not like them. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
