Bill: Foreign Policy Petition
Details
Submitted by[?]: Party of the Republic
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 4177
Description[?]:
| We hold no legislative power, therefore we present this petition to the legislature with the hope that it is enacted. Let it also serve as an indication as to our intentions regarding foreign policy if elected. Hutorian foreign policy in all its aspects must be attuned to our world of change. We will recruit officials whose experience, humanity, and dedication fit them for the task of effectively representing Hutori abroad. We will provide a more sensitive and creative direction to our overseas information program. And we will overhaul our administrative machinery so that Hutori may avoid diplomatic embarrassments and at long last speak with a single confident voice in world affairs. First, those men and women selected to represent us abroad must be chosen for their sensitive understanding of the peoples with whom they will live. We can no longer afford representatives who are ignorant of the language and culture and politics of the nations in which they represent us. Our information programs must be more than news broadcasts and boastful recitals of our accomplishments and our material riches. We must find ways to show the people of the world that we share the same goals—dignity, health, freedom, schools for children, a place in the sun—and that we will work together to achieve them. Our program of visits between Hutorians and people of other nations will be expanded, with special emphasis upon students and younger leaders. We will encourage study of foreign languages. |
