[GA - Failed] Repeal: "Ban on Secret Treaties"

Repeal: "Ban on Secret Treaties"
Category: Repeal | GA #408
Proposed by: New Waldensia | Onsite Topic​

General Assembly Resolution #408 “Ban on Secret Treaties” (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Observing that GAR #408, "Ban on Secret Treaties", includes a closing clause defining "secret treaty" as "military-grade weapons and feline animals of varying sizes with tabby coats", a statement that is incongruent with the text of the rest of the measure, and to most appearances is so wildly different as to appear to be meant as a joke,

Believing that it is very inappropriate for such a clause to be found in a General Assembly resolution, making a mockery of this august body,

Noting that the General Assembly ought to be an institution dedicated to serious discussion, necessitating a certain level of decorum and respect be observed when proposing resolutions,

Mindful that GAR #408 sets a precedent that could be detrimental to future operations of the General Assembly,

Convinced that this definition is an improper meddling with the plain understanding of language and the long-standing meaning of the phrase "secret treaty",

Therefore be it known that the General Assembly repeals GAR #408, "Ban on Secret Treaties".
