Canada walks out on Iran's UN speech in 2009.
Canada walks out on Iran's UN speech in 2010.
Canada walks out on Iran's UN speech in 2011.
I wonder what the rules are for UN Walking? We should have some guidelines, shouldn't we? From the last three walkouts I've determined that the existing rules are: "when Iran talks, we walk."
Not very UNy.
Kinda got me thinking how we (in Canada) could formalize this sorta thing so that we know when to walk out on a speaker. My criteria for walking out would be:
- walk out on states that refuse to separate church and state;
- walk out on states with fewer than three viable political parties;
- walk out on states with "live fire" military forces in more than two foreign countries; and,
- walk out on states with gradated human rights (eg sexual, religious, political).
Hmm, maybe I'll add to this list later ...
