[GA - Passed] Repeal Convention on International Oil Spills

Repeal Convention on International Oil Spills
Category: Repeal | GA #444
Proposed by: Lord Dominator | Onsite Topic​

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.
