Kim Possible (C) Disney.

Resolution 555a (2006)

Adopted by the United Nations Security Council on

29 February 2005

The Security Council,

Recalling all its previous resolutions and statements of its President concerning the threats posed to peace and security by supervillainy,

Stressing its resolutions 111c (2003) and 182f (2005) on mad geniuses, 167g (2006) and 173a (2006) on the need for accomplished freak-fighters, 153a (2004) and 161c (2005) on teen superheroes, and 023d on professional standards of dress,

Reaffirming its commitment to decorum, propriety, and general good taste in matters sartorial,

Reiterating its previous calls to consistently maintain such decorum, propriety, and general good taste in a manner consistent with the era,

Further reaffirming that such maintaining of standards need not leave this body mired in styling archaic looks;

Welcoming opportunities to take a fresh look at the United Nations' de facto dress codes;

Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

Finds that traditional standards of dress at the United Nations tend to crimp, bunch, ride up, and result in exorbitant dry-cleaning bills;

Calls on the Secretary General and country delegations to adopt a more modern dress code that befits 21st-century diplomacy;

Welcomes in this regard the recent appearance before the Security Council of world famous teen hero Kim Possible and her sidekick whose name was unfortunately not recorded in a timely manner;

Notes that said sidekick, upon his airborne arrival in this chamber, was lacking pants;

Underlines that he explained his pantslessness on the grounds that he is "all about comfort;"

Condemns rumors suggesting that such explanation was merely an excuse concocted ex post facto by the young man for the absurd purpose of attempting to save a shred of his dignity;

Welcomes the ensuing hubbub over whether breeches, lederhosen, plus fours, slacks, chinos, khakis, dungarees, cords, or for that matter any form of pants or lower-extremity-cover is truly necessary;

Emphasizes that being "all about comfort" is a worthy goal for any modern deliberative body, especially one which routinely meets during the humid New York summer;

Calls on those who argue in favor of wool suits to get current;

Recalls that Kim Possible herself has a generally impeccable fashion sense;

Affirms that, in making the statement in paragraph 11 of this resolution, this Council is prepared to overlook her historic over-reliance on tanktops and capris;

Requests the Secretary General to immediately appoint an Under Secretary General for 21st-century Sartorial Affairs;

Urges that this new position immediately issue new guidelines for dress that explicitly endorse trouserlessness on the grounds that the UN is also all about comfort;

Requests that this trouser embargo commence immediately;

Commits to eventually trying to remember the name of the sidekick who has led us to this positive development in United Nations dress;

Notes that the above commitment, while sincere, is not exactly a priority;

Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.
