Cultural Site Preservation [Complete] [Complete]

Description: The World Assembly,

Recognizing the abundance of sites with cultural significance within member nations and the need to preserve them for future generations,

Acknowledging the World Assembly as the perfect medium to assist with such preservation,

1. Hereby creates the World Assembly Trust for Cultural Heritage(WATCH),

2. Empowers the WATCH to perform the following actions:
a. Designate sites, in consultation with the nation housing said site, as culturally relevant,
b. Create an archive including, but not limited to, visual, verbal, and literary works that pertain to culturally relevant sites,
c. Recommend specific preservation practices to nations for their culturally relevant sites,
d. Fulfill requests by nations to assist in the preservation of sites when the nation in question is unable to do so,

3. Urges nations to follow the preservation recommendations of the WATCH,

4. Encourages all nations to make a good faith effort to preserve their culturally relevant sites, and to assist other nations in the preservation of their culturally relevant sites,

5. Mandates that nations shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid unnecessary damage to sites the WATCH has deemed culturally relevant,

6. Further mandates that nations shall not willingly use culturally relevant sites to house military or intelligence assets,

7. Requires the WATCH to grant exemptions in good faith to the protections and requirements of sections 5 and 6 for a site currently used as an intelligence or military asset in order to preserve its use as such.

In truth, the Ministry has had a hand in developing this proposal. The submitting nation is actually the Osiris WA office and a collective effort between myself and Douria. The piece has been revised extensively and was designed to be as minimally invasive as possible.

Many complaints which were raised during the drafting process such as military assets etc... were addressed in the final mandate, and in all the piece actually looks pretty well as a finished product. Even though we still despise the WATCH acronym.


All things considered, the piece runs well even without the respective bias that this Minister could have in relation to it. That said, we recommend a FOR vote when this comes to vote at major tonight.

AS PER USUAL THIS IS A SUGGESTED VOTE ONLY, PLEASE VOTE FOR, AGAINST OR ABSTAIN AS DESIRED BELOW.

Abstain

I am not voting here as I have no WA right now(due to the Reproductive Freedoms thing that is about to pass), but I am available to answer any and all question on this proposal as I am the primary author. This has a LOT of input though from a lot of different folks.

For.

Running Tally 1-0-1 Tied.

FOR (Many purrs...)

>^,,^<

Against, actually, wait a minute.... I think that vote may be invalid. Yes, yes it is.

I have voted FOR.
