Repeal: “Museums Of Musical Heritage”
Category: Repeal | Resolution: GA#86
Proposed by: Roylaii | Onsite Topic​

General Assembly Resolution #86 "Museums of Musical Heritage" (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Recognising and commending the objective of GAR #86 to preserve and promote the cultural and societal value of music throughout the member nations of this august body for the benefit of posterity, yet

Realising that said legislation executes its intention in a flawed and detrimental manner, namely for the following reasons:

1. The target resolution stipulates that "pecuniary compensation (if necessary) will be arranged by an impartial arbitrator". As a result, GAR #86 actively defeats its own intention of promoting the free donation of music, as both the overly liberal phrasing of this clause and the complete lack of criteria by which the impartial arbitrator is to judge the validity of the necessity for pecuniary compensation actively disincentivize entities seeking to make a submission to the MoMH from donating, as they can freely demand remuneration instead;
   
   
2. The lack of guidelines in GAR #86 instructing the impartial arbitrator under what conditions they may decline payment to the contributing entity, or how to evaluate what a fair amount of compensation would be for each submission, enables the arbitrator to formulate and generate their own criteria and conditions based solely and entirely upon their musical preferences for example, which would result in large sums for preferred musical contributors, while those less liked by the arbitrator would be at risk of meagre remuneration, if even deemed "necessary";
   
   
3. This grave oversight in "Museums of Musical Heritage" leads to an irresponsible spending of public money by the WA, where large sums disappear into the pockets of musical entities as an unintended and indirect form of subsidisation of the musical sector, without any oversight to prevent musical artists or their representatives to demand extortionate supranormal compensation rates, and while granting individual actors too broad and liberal a right to spend the WA's considerable but finite funds;

Hereby repeals GAR#86 "Museums of Musical Heritage".
