Repeal "Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#380
Proposed by: Imperium Anglorum
Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #380: Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: The General Assembly,

Confident that humanitarian aid has already been expanded by passing such resolutions as 340 GA "Access to Humanitarian Aid" and 51 GA "Humanitarian Aid Coordination";

Concerned about a number of issues with the resolution that cause unintended consequences, most of which were not picked up due to the premature submission and passage of the target resolution;

Conceding that repeal is the only option, as it is impossible to amend legislation and patch these issues;

Worried about the incredible costs associated with:

forcing governments to expand their public sectors and subsidise rebuilding efforts when a nation may simply choose to move people out of harm's way via evacuation and

transportation to and fro for foreigners at the national expense;

Troubled by the possibility of using this resolution to bypass quarantine regulations, since the resolution fails to provide any clauses allowing nations to prevent aid workers from entering quarantine areas; and

Flabbergasted with the requirement in 380 GA § 6(b) of rewarding nations which are unwilling to help their own citizens by wasting World Assembly funds in paying private organisations to provide 'aid' without any necessary oversight to ensure that World Assembly contributions are not wasted, squandered, or used to commit crimes against the people which this resolution would ostensibly help; hereby

Repeals 380 GA "Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act".

Please vote: For, Against, Abstain, or Present.

As a reminder, a vote in favor of the repeal means that you want to remove this resolution from enforcement.
 
Ministry of World Assembly Affairs Recommendation
Written by Deputy Minister Corporal Clegg

In the GA resolution, "Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act", there are some important issues that necessitate its repeal:

  • The original resolution forces member nations to pay to rebuild damaged infrastructure when they could just as easily use other means of recovery
  • It also causes the WA to just give large amounts of money to nations' private aid organizations with no oversight, restrictions, or accountability
  • It fails to define what aid organizations are, so the money could possibly end up in hands other those that actually need it
It is for the above reasons that the Ministry recommends that you vote for this repeal.
 
For the repeal. Persepo had problems with the resolution's broad scope of preventing host nation "interference" despite valid host nation "security checks." With no standards to guide, the resolution should've failed immediately.
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

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