Repeal: "Supporting and Valuing the Humanities"
Category: Repeal | GA #495
Proposed by: Tinhampton | Onsite Topic​
General Assembly Resolution #495 “Supporting and Valuing the Humanities” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Reminding member nations that the General Fund, which relies on “donations from member states”, is not a bottomless pit of money;

Appalled that GA 495 does not sufficiently ensure that the World Humanities Fund does not pay for wasteful programmes that are only tangentially related to its objectives or permit member nation subdivisions to request funding for local educational needs;

Troubled that GA 495 fails to require that Fund-bankrolled programmes could not be paid for adequately by recipients without WA money;

Dismayed that this failure creates incentives for member nations to pawn off costs to the World Assembly and then pocket the difference, encouraging reckless spending of other peoples’ money;

Incensed at section 5’s requirement that “the GAO... cease the allowance of funds to the transgressing nation or organization” “if incorrect use of funds is reported” without adequate due process;

Interpreting that provision to apply to all GAO disbursements, rather than just World Humanities Fund handouts, even if nations or organisations receive funding in separate programmes with different oversight for separate purposes, such as:
  1. protecting nuclear materials from unauthorised release,
  2. primary education,
  3. healthcare for people in poverty, and
  4. economic development;
Extremely concerned that, by cutting off member nation ministries from resources voted to them in previous resolutions for the wrongdoings of unrelated ministries, GA 495 would then:
  1. weaken nuclear material safeguards, increasing the chance that those materials end in the hands of terrorist groups,
  2. worsen primary education in other topics, harming literacy and basic education as a whole,
  3. hamper the ability of health systems in developing nations to cope with infectious diseases, and
  4. destroy jobs in weak economies, plunging workers into poverty; and
Convinced that GA 80 “A Promotion of Basic Education”, which already requires schools in member nations to offer more humanities courses than the bare-minimum single course required in Article 2 of the target resolution, renders the target resolution unnecessary, hereby:

Repeals GA 495 “Supporting and Valuing the Humanities”.

It got pulled from queue.

Aside from that... why is everyone except Praetor and Noah against?

Against. Not seeing anything worth repealing over. "Interpreting that provision to apply to all GAO disbursements" is not true in any good faith interpretation.

This proposal has been pulled by the author. In the event it is reintroduced without major edits, this thread could be reused. Otherwise, a new thread should be created at that time.

I removed this because - in light of McMasterdonia's deapproval telegram, which I have not had the pleasure of reading but which at least one WA Delegate (Esperantist Mars of the region Mars Planet) has told me exists, and general TNP support/stompability - I did not believe that this venture would receive sufficient levels of support on the voting floor.
