Debatable GA Proposals. zOMG!

[New Rockport]

Would the draft press freedom proposal being discussed in this thread be legal or would it duplicate Resolution 30?

[New Rockport]

Is it legal to establish a consortium "among interested member nations," as the Protection of Outer Space Act is proposed to do, or does it run afoul of the rule against nations sitting on committees?

[New Rockport]

Is this category correct? It looks more like Social Justice than Human Rights to me.

Right of Free Access of Water

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Mild


Proposed by: FlagEuropa Eumentis

Description: The World Assembly

RECOGNIZING that Water is a vital and common good of human kind and its access and use is a human individual and collective right,

URGES Nations

- to use, protect, know and promote water as public good;

- to keep public the property of water management societies with its economic issues and its services;

- to warrant a safe access to water in order to fulfill, in quality and quantity, the minimal needs of communities and individuals: in this way we fix a minimum amount of 40 liters a day for one single person and that the costs of its distribution and mantainance have to be paid by the community;

- to apply a balanced tariff regulation based on the principle of solidarity;

- to avoid the overuse of water fixing fines and additional costs in extreme cases;

- to severely punish the cases of pollution and contaminations of waters during their natural cycle;

- to promote system of reuse of water except for alimentation and hygiene;

- to promote and spread the installation of “points of public water” in order to warrant those who have not direct access to it.

And, looking at Global Relations,

URGES Nations

- to pick a little part of tariffs to finance projects of international cooperation wherever the access to water is poor or insufficient;

- to stimulate and promote everykind of research in order to realize this agreement for the whole human kind.

As I do not spot an active thread on this, it probably belongs in Silly Proposals. If you actually want a mod to look at the proposal, file a GHR or post in Moderation.

I told you this thread would only breed confusion.

I lack the words to say how interested I'm not in having yet another place to look for stupidity.

I thought I locked this back in August when I noticed a certain lack of enthusiasm. Sorry, New Rockport, but seems this trial balloon is not going to fly (not even across the country, shutting down airports).
