The Resolution at Vote:
Repeal "UN Educational Committee"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #54
Proposed by: David6
Description: UN Resolution #54: UN Educational Committee (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: The United Nations,
Strongly identifying with the principles of promoting quality in education espoused in UN Resolution #54, "UN Educational Committee",
Taking note of the passage of UN Resolution #171, "UN Educational Aid Act", and specifically its creation of a UN Educational Advancement Fund,
Recognizing that while committees can serve useful functions, assigning two to oversight of UN educational projects is not only excessive, bureaucratic and wasteful, but further poses the risk of creating confusion and inefficiency,
Believing the UNEAF to be a generally better model than the UNEC, given the latter's powers are poorly delineated, and no provision is made for funding of its projects,
Realizing that UNEC's functions are more than sufficiently performed by UNEAF,
Thereby considering that UNEC has been relegated to the status of another useless committee,
Wishing to clarify the UN's objectives, increase its efficiency and streamline its operations, through the elimination of committees that serve no purpose other than to drain member resources,
Repeals "UN Educational Committee".
