Repeal: "World Assembly Headquarters"
Recognizing that GA 8, the resolution establishing the World Assembly Office of Building Management (OBM) and a centralized World Assembly headquarters, is inefficient and misguided in both its conception and execution;
Concerned that the resolution diverts valuable resources away from the WA’s primary mission of addressing critical global issues such as universal rights, economic development, and environmental preservation, by focusing on the costly and redundant task of real estate management;
Acknowledging that the authority granted to the OBM to impose arbitrary fees on member nations for office space and facilities usage creates opportunities for inequitable treatment and financial burdens, disproportionately affecting smaller or less influential states, especially as these fees are imposed on top of existing member dues mandated by GA 17 'WA General Fund,' resulting in double-dipping and placing undue hardship on less prosperous nations;
Emphasizing that the legitimacy of the WA does not depend on a physical headquarters, but on the international cooperation, diplomacy, and shared values that the WA fosters can be achieved without centralized physical infrastructure;
Noting that the establishment of a WA headquarters on "neutral international territory" risks sparking territorial disputes, legal complications, and geopolitical tensions, which contradicts the resolution's aim of promoting international harmony;
Disapproving of the dismissive and unprofessional language used in the resolution to describe WA diplomats, which undermines the dignity and credibility of the World Assembly as a serious international body;
Hereby repeals GA 8 "World Assembly Headquarters."
