[GA] At Vote: Repeal "International Expositions Act" [Complete]

General Assembly Resolution at Vote:

Repeal "International Expositions Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.​

Category: Repeal | Resolution: #172 | Proposed by: Jean Pierre Trudeau


The World Assembly,

Acknowledging the effort of General Assembly Resolution #172 "International Expositions Act" to highlight the rich and diverse traditions of World Assembly members,

Concerned #172 mandates an "International Exposition of Culture" every year, whilst failing to account for the massive cost, and time needed to construct facilities for such an exposition to take place,

Confused by the fact the "International Exposition Authority" has the full authority to select a member nation city to host the "International Exposition of Culture", whilst failing to define the nomination criteria of such a selection,

Befuddled #172 states these expositions must be carried out in the manner of a worldwide fair, whilst failing to define what a world wide fair should entail,

Disappointed clause 7(a) states host nations have the right to deny entry to nations of which they are currently in conflict with, thus denying legitimate member states the right to showcase the heritage and culture of their nation to the rest of the international community,

Further confused that host members may not omit certain ideologies, cultures, or beliefs from these conventions, whilst simultaneously stating they may deny entry to nations of whom they are in conflict with, thus defeating the purpose of clause 7(a), by causing intentional conflict with said nation,

Hereby repeals "GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION # 172 International Expositions Act".

Please vote For, Against, or Abstain.
 
Ministry Review
Written By: Separatist Peoples
Voting Recommendation: FOR

The repeal effectively highlights the drawbacks to this resolution, which seems to rely on nebulous descriptors and expensive endeavors to make a point which could likely be more eloquently rephrased in a replacement resolution.

It is succinct, deliberate, and clears the WA of another resolution that, as currently written, does more harm than good. Though the target resolution, as noted in the debate thread, would likely have been a fun Roleplaying opportunity, it doesn't appear to be especially popular or polarizing. To this end, and after careful consideration, the North Pacific WA Ministry recommends a vote FOR.

(Not voting.)

Nah, this was an OK resolution.
It certainly wasn't offensive, but it might benefit from a rewrite. I wrote the recommendation For for that reason, but I honestly flipped a coin for my personal vote. I lost the coin, so now I'm not voting.
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
