The World Assembly,
Applauding the resolution at hand for its work at improving the environment,
But Concerned that clause 3 of the resolutions micro-manages member nations to a degree that may be harmful to the resolution's mission by:
- Mandating technologies that may be or are obsolete in some member nations,
- Using vague language regarding maintenance and inspections such as "every couple of years" and "regularly,"
Saddened that clause 4 also lists a number of technologies that may become or already are obsolete in member nations,
Believing that the micromanagement and excruciating specificity inherent in this resolution:
- Will leave nations unable to adapt to better technologies,
- Potentially wastes resources following mandates that aren't necessary in all nations,
- Includes strong suggestions that overstep reasonable bounds of the WA with instructions for spill clean-up that are better left to individual nations to determine properly,
Incensed at the needless re-treading of ground already covered in part by
Responsible Offshore Drilling and
Reducing Spills and Leaks and yet leaving regulation of reduction and clean-up of wildlife impact uselessly vague,
Bemoaning the listed flaws and occasional poor grammar usage,
Repeals GA 444 "Convention on International Oil Spills.
