Repeal: "Digital Network Defence
Category: Repeal | GA #378
Proposed by: Saint Tomas and the Northern Ice Islands | Onsite Topic
Replacement: Onsite Drafting Thread​

General Assembly Resolution #378 “Digital Network Defense” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Observing this assembly’s dedication to protecting the privacy of the various citizens of World Assembly member nations, through resolutions such as “Data Protection Accord”, “Privacy Protection Act” and “Right to Secure Digital Communication”;

Concerned by the total lack of respect for personal privacy by “Digital Network Defense”, codifying the right of member nations to monitor their citizens’ digital footprint and allowing them to easily justify such an invasion of privacy by saying it was to monitor digital security threats, and by blocking future legislation from restricting their ability to do so; and

Realising that in order to restrict member nations from invading personal privacy willy-nilly through World Assembly legislation, “Digital Network Defence” must be repealed; hereby

Repeals “Digital Network Defense”.

Overview
This resolution seeks to repeal GA #378 “Digital Network Defense”, the second attempt by the author to do so. It does so for one reason only: it argues that a right to privacy has been established in other extant law and that GA #378 violates this right to privacy.

Recommendation
While we are adamant defenders of the fundamental rights of a nation’s citizens, we are generally unconvinced by the notion advanced by the author that GA #378 displays a “total lack of respect for personal privacy”, nor do we agree that the legislation necessarily blocks future efforts to codify a right to digital privacy for citizens.

For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the General Assembly Resolution at vote, “Repeal: “Digital Network Defense””.

A bit simple and one dimensional for a GA proposal. More argument or at least more reasons for repeal would be helpful.

Against
 
Forgot to note this the other day, but this proposal has achieved the necessary approvals to enter the formal queue. It will take the floor for voting, presuming it is not withdrawn or marked illegal, at Friday's Major Update.
 
Honeydewistan:
Why tho?

(also interested to hear why others voted against)

Because I don't necessarily see that "reserves" clause as a blocker. I understand it might be, but I don't see that stopping future legislation on the area.
