[GA - PASSED] Repeal "Institutional Psychiatry Act"

[Cretox]

Repeal "Institutional Psychiatry Act"
Category: Repeal | GA 140
Proposed by: Morover | Onsite Topic
Replacement: [Draft] Psychiatric Care Act​

---

The World Assembly,

Believing in the rights of people with mental illness, as laid out by Resolution 140, “Institutional Psychiatry Act”,

Concerned, however, that when discussing the right to freedom of communications that people with mental illness have, that no exception is made for those who are charged with a crime,

Worried that this failure allows criminals with potentially dangerous or otherwise harmful information and just so happen to have a mental illness to release this information to cohorts or the world at large, which may pose a threat to society, and gets in the way of proper justice being delivered,

Believing that this singular oversight is significant enough to justify repeal of Resolution 140, and intending to pass a suitable replacement for the protection of those with mental illnesses,

Hereby repeals Resolution 140, “Institutional Psychiatry Act”.

Note: Only votes from TNP WA nations and NPA personnel will be counted. If you do not meet these requirements, please add (non-WA) or something of that effect to your vote.

Overview
This proposal seeks to repeal "Institutional Psychiatry Act." The main reasoning the author provides is its issues regarding the freedom of communications for mentally ill criminals and that in granting this right, it might stand in the way of justice actually being served.

Recommendation
With a proposal in the pipeline that addresses the issue raised in this repeal, we do not see an issue in supporting the repeal. While perhaps a bit short, it communicates a glaring deficiency in its target resolution and shows that it ought to be repealed.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Repeal 'Institutional Psychiatry Act.'"

When I tell you I hate myself sometimes. I don't even know how my brain did that.

For. I already made my comments on the draft on the replacement on the Forum, assuming Morover adopts it.

For me, the main issue is either Nurse Ratched (the book or the movie, not Sarah Paulson) or Lisbeth Salander (whichever comparison more relevant to you depending on your age).

 

[Anne of Cleves]

For (WA)

Reason: I’m sure that there are other oversights than the one described in the repeal, but the fact that criminals can abuse the resolution that is being appealed is already a major concern and is enough justification for a repeal.

Just for future reference: you don't need to note (WA) unless you’re either new to the WA. I assume WA unless otherwise noted, hence why we ask for you to note not being in the WA.
