Recycling doesn't need total free trade to work, but that's not what the recycling resolution did. It encouraged companies to recycle by banning protectionism on them, so companies would have an incentive to recycling because of reduced tariffs on recycled products. This resolution would effectively cripple any resolution that wanted to go about promoting recycling in that manner.
And what I meant about the CM was that there wouldn't be a problem with big nations abusing free trade agreements over small nations, because the UN could define the terms. Similarly, it is possible to have free trade strictly defined, because we have a binding UN to regulate it.
Quote: Similarly, how can the CM force compliance when a resolution includes within it the right to opt out of any future FTA-like provision? It would require and even greater number of silly repeals than occur now.[/quote]
That's assuming this proposal passes.
