[GA - PASSED] Repeal: Preparing for Disasters

---

General Assembly Resolution #105 “Preparing For Disasters” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The General Assembly,

Acknowledging and appreciating the good intentions of Resolution 105, “Preparing For Disasters,” in its aid to international coordination in the leadup to natural and artificial disasters,

Aware that Resolution 105 does a reasonably good job in achieving its goal,

Concerned, however, at several potentially negative implications reaching beyond the scope of the resolution, such as:

• Clause two mandating that the World Assembly Disaster Bureau provide “all the help that a nation requests in [inspections mandated],” regardless of the nation’s actual need of help, potentially opening the door for malicious states to drain the funds of the World Assembly General Fund by requesting unnecessary assistance that the Bureau is required to provide,
• Clause seven requiring the World Assembly Disaster Bureau to share research regarding technologies used to assist in responding to disasters with all nations, regardless of the nation’s World Assembly member status or any other potential applications of the technology, meaning that any research found by the Bureau that may prove hazardous or otherwise dangerous if in the wrong hands must be shared with all nations, including malicious actors,
• Clause eight instructing the World Assembly Disaster Bureau to work with all World Assembly organizations, regardless of relevance or necessity to the overarching goal of the Bureau, which could prove to be burdensome as the network of World Assembly organizations expands,

Believing that, regardless of whatever good Resolution 105 provides, the negative consequences that the language of the resolution allows necessitates repeal,

Hoping that, following the repeal of Resolution 105, a suitable replacement will be promptly passed, ultimately minimizing whatever negative effect will be felt by not having a resolution of this topic on the books,

Hereby repeals Resolution 105, “Preparing For Disasters.”

Overview

The proposal seeks to repeal and replace General Assembly Resolution #105. The grounds for the repeal are to prevent fraudulent use of WADB funds, keep technology that can be used for nefarious purposes out of states that are threats to international peace, and ensure the organization communicates with relevant agencies. The overall goal of the proposal is to replace it with a resolution with language that leaves no room for ambiguity and clear-cut guidelines for World Assembly Disaster Bureau.

Recommendation The World Assembly resolutions that dictate itself or member states must be updated to represent the reality of the modern world. GA #105 is a noble resolution, but the language is outdated that can be taken advantage of by member states. The repeal and replace proposal will remove the ambiguous language and set clear guidelines for WADB and member states.

For these reasons the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Repeal: Preparing for Disasters".

Thanks for noting it, but it will actually proceed to a vote at Major on Thursday, August 5, not Friday the 6th.

Edit: you had it right, I thought today wasn’t Monday for some reason.
