Repeal "Cultural Heritage Protection"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#72

Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy​

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #72: Cultural Heritage Protection (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The World Assembly,

Understanding that culturally significant sites are important cornerstones to many societies,

Regretting, however, that Cultural Heritage Protection(GA#72) fails to perform its function without placing an undue burden on WA nations,

Knowing that GA#72 "DEFINES a cultural heritage site as a [sic] area of interest, archeological, historical, or cultural to any member nation within its own jurdisticion [sic]" regardless of that site's current use,

Lamenting that any site, even those of incredibly minor "archeological, historical, or cultural" importance, may be designated as protected at the whim of the nation housing such a site,

Accepting that, regardless of its cultural importance, a site used to house military weapons, soldiers, prisoners of war, or used as a base for espionage should be a valid target for military attack or liberation,

Bemoaning that, while cultural sites are often housed in or near population centers, GA#72 may encourage the use of cultural sites to house military assets because of the protections it provides,

Believing that GA#72 was never intended to provide protection for military assets,

Regretting that this error has been left uncorrected despite open acknowledgement by nations involved in writing the resolution,

Hereby repeals Cultural Heritage Protection(GA#72).
 
Ministerial Review;

Considering the Author is normally quite strong at repeals this seems an exceptionally weak bone for The Dourian Embassy to pick. The text itself focuses on a singular aspect of the original act which despite having been accepted by the author of the original piece as a design flaw, isn't actually as tremendously susceptible to exploitation as the Repeal author would have us believe. Common sense more than anything really should prevail among nations in regards to the original act.

Ministerial Suggestion;

Having reviewed the piece itself, and a proposed replacement, we at this time cannot reconcile a for vote. The only current replacement that is lined up focuses solely on war time and thus leaves a serious hole in terms of what should be expected of a replacement for this act. Balancing that again with the narrow scope of the repeal.... The suggested vote in this instance is "Nay".

As always this is a suggested vote, you are free to cast your own vote as you see fit to do so

Please vote Yay, Nay or Abstain below.
