Quarantine Regulation
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
Category: Health
Area of Effect: Healthcare
Proposed by: Umeria

Description: The World Assembly,

Understanding that there are many communicable diseases which spread easily if they are not treated hastily;

Noting that there are times when some communicable diseases cannot be treated hastily;

Realizing that such diseases should instead be promptly contained to prevent an international epidemic;

Hereby

1) Tasks the Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Center to define as a "serious disease" any disease which is harmful and contagious enough to create the need of a quarantine in the case of an outbreak of the disease;

2) Defines, for the purposes of this resolution:

an "epidemic" as a time, in a nation, when there are enough people with the same serious disease(as defined by the EPARC) to significantly decrease the nation's functioning and/or well-being;

an "infected person" as any person with a serious disease in a nation undergoing an epidemic of that disease;

a "quarantine" as any area where infected persons are kept in isolation in order to halt the spread of the disease;

a "treatment" as any action done to an infected person with the purpose of:

curing the infected person;

rendering the infected person non-contagious;

ensuring the infected person does not undergo any unnecessary harm; and/or

ensuring the infected person is not deprived of any necessities a non-infected person would normally receive;

3) Urges that all member nations, in the event of an epidemic in their nation, screen for any infected persons in that nation not yet known to be infected;

4) Requires that all member nations, to the best of their capability:

create at least one quarantine per epidemic in the nation;

move all infected persons into the appropriate quarantine that is nearest to their current location;

provide every treatment to all infected persons that are in a quarantine while taking any available precaution to ensure that the people administering these treatments are not infected;

move anyone that ceases to be an infected person out of the quarantine;

disband any quarantine that ceases to be of use; and

5) Mandates that the EPARC cover the costs of the requirements in clause 4 for any member nation that has difficulty maintaining quarantines.

In my opinion it is a very bold proposal. I think it's one of the most difficult political issues legally regulate.

However, I think it contains no substantial differences with GAR # 53, Epidemic Response Act. I think he might have been better to present it as an amendment to GAR # 53.

Broadly speaking, it does not establish the procedure for prevention cases. Understands the quarantine only cases where an epidemic is declared. I think that should define the measures to be taken to safeguard the uninfected areas. Also whether to suspend civil rights and for how long, who will handle the emergency government in severe cases and their political powers...

I miss some mention of preventive to be adopted by other countries in the event of an epidemic measures.

It is a typical legal initiative can only succeed the 'worst' option, so

Against
 
Honestly, I haven't the time to read through this resolution with the necessary scrutiny to make an informed decision, so...

Abstain

As a point of order, Amendments are not allowed under WA proposal rules.
