This is short!Yes it is. And the site has passed
shorter.
But the real question is what length would add. The topic is intuitive enough that no amount of preamble is going to convince anyone to change positions. And there is nothing else that a resolution on this topic would want to cover without being illegal.
Adding sentences that do nothing does not have meaning beyond fitting some person's strange conception of what a proposal is 'supposed' to look like. To inculcate a heterodox conception of proposal format is good for authorial choice.
Badge hunting!If you got extra badges for passing beyond one resolution, then I would need chest expansion surgery like
Brezhnev. But you don't get extra badges. Go check my nation page and see the lack of 24 GA authorship badges cluttering it all up. If you had spoken like a year ago, you could have gone with "you're just doing this to get the award for most resolutions". But that happened already.
But what about some convoluted pathway to end-run about the resolution?- Make being in debt illegal. (1) RNT means that repeal argument is illegal (see [2018] GAS 8, if I recall correctly), because debt is useful and permits savings to be turned into useful capital improvements. (2) Even if it makes insolvency illegal, there now exist political barriers, on the margin, for a nation to impose such laws. And to see that they are fairly executed in line with WA law. National debates then have to be moved directly to the question of whether or not insolvency itself should be illegal, which is one that is much harder to win. (3) That's not a problem, I'll just write up the elimination of debt bondage.
- Anything which executes the law in bad faith? See GA 2 art 9: "Every WA Member State has the duty to carry out in good faith its obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law, including this World Assembly, and it may not invoke provisions in its constitution or its laws as an excuse for failure to perform this duty". Doing so violates GA 2.
- If the argument, at least in the form sent in the all WA telegram, were made in a repeal, it would have been removed for lying in a repeal (i.e. violation of the Honest Mistake rule).
Also, proposal which attempts to legislate on the enfranchisement of persons under incarceration is illegal for violating section 3 of GA 419 ("Reserves for member nations the liberty to legislate on the issue of enfranchisement for individuals under incarceration").
It's too vague!!!Member states must carry out the duties in WA resolutions. This explicitly describes a duty. This is hardly vague.What about an enforcement mechanism?I built it already. And
there's more. There's no reason to include an enforcement mechanism when these resolution exist. Moreover, doing so would likely duplicate or contradict these resolutions, making the proposal illegal.
You can't pass something without a preamble!!It's done in real government legislation all the time.
Look. No preamble.
