Repeal "Protect Historical Sites"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal

Resolution: #15

Proposed by: Jey

Description: UN Resolution #15: Protect Historical Sites (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The General Assembly of the United Nations,

COMMENDING Resolution #15: "Protect Historical Sites," for its intent to safeguard historically significant locations within member nations;

HOWEVER NOTING that Resolution #15 wholly lacks any apparent methods for which to protect the historical sites referenced to within the resolution text, only saying "we cannot let historical sites go to waste;"

FURTHER NOTING that Resolution #15, at no point within the resolution text, defines what constitutes a "historical site" that is worthy of protection, thus leading to confusion and misunderstandings among member nations;

CONCLUDING that Resolution #15 is an insufficient and ineffectual resolution, given that it lacks any form of implementation of its admirable intent;

REPEALS Resolution #15: "Protect Historical Sites."

Hmm, I'd vote FOR on this, but then I would believe a new proposal which better worded and fully explained the current resolution (ie. a new version of 'Protect Historical Sites') should be used in its place.

My government is a weak opposed to this repeal. Some of the arguments made in favour of the repeal are "boiler plate" and could be (and often are) said about any other resolution. The repeal fails to recognize that resolutions are merely statements of international position, and not meant to be true one-size fits all laws.

The idea to protect historical sites is still valid, and for a "#15" resolution, my government's legal interpretation of this early resolution has caused no significant confusion or conflicts with any other governments ... despite the claims of the repeal.

I'd say go FOR it. I actually tried to repeal this once before, but the idea was shot down.

EDIT: Oops, didn't realize it was already done.

I don't want to vote for it, but I see how it makes sense and I don't want to vote against it.
So I'm abstaining.
