Repeals GA 448.

Ministry IFV
"Right to Self-Defense", while appearing to be well-meaning, is noticeably riddled with flaws. Most concerning, the resolution is overly broad and as a result unintentionally allows criminals to employ self defense against law enforcement To reiterate, the opinion of the Ministry is that any nation's rights to self-defense should develop organically, over time, and perhaps through individual judiciaries.

For the reasons stated above, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For this repeal.

I do agree with Pascolar, the case could easily have been made with more strength. There was lots to work with. Hopefully this is enough to get it repealed.
