I vote 'no' for a reason that has already been worded by Mikitivity; I'd like to add that I fear that if this resolution passes, it weakens the standing of the UN in the world and voting yes would be counterproductive to the IDU value of a powerful UN in my eyes.
A second reason is that the UN in my oppinion sometimes has to pass culturally insensitive proposals (and has done so many times) for the 'greater good', as pathetic as it may sound.
And as it cannot be guaranteed that the UNCoESB will indeed pass, I will not support this repeal proposal. If it passes, we can repeal the Dolphin Protection Act to reduce paperwork, of course.
