Overview
This resolution proposal seeks to establish the "Heritage Protection Committee (HePC)" by unifying the extinct Cultural Heritage Preservation Committee and Monument Assessment Committee, whose mission is to protect heritage sites of historical value and character, in accordance with each nation's relative listing, all archaeological sites of extisting nations, preserving the sites in periods of war or natural disasters, also financing their restorations and studies and intangible heritage.

Recommendation
We believe the resolution provides for overly-specific micro-management of heritage protection, in particular article 3 (which will not work for nations using different calendars) and article 5, which again fails to account for the diversity of member states across the multiverse. We believe this resolution was not ready for submission at the point of drafting and was rushed through with disregard for the conventions of the GA.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the General Assembly resolution at vote, "Heritage Protection Committee Creation".

Packed paragraphs without spaces, Roman numerals under Arabic numerals, several grammatical mistakes, inconsistent division (section and Roman numerals), all of this is a travesty.

Against.

The emphasis on formatting is undue; however, the content is not acceptable in its own right.
 
This is not quite up to the standard that I would like to see in a proposal. There are a few examples of this, but to me the clearest is the setting of numeric periods of imprisonment as penalty. With some more drafting, this could have been easily rectified, and it is not an obscure convention of the GA to avoid fixed punishments. Though the idea is sound, the execution and formatting compel me to vote against this.
