Repeal "Rights of the Quarantined"
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#389
Proposed by: Wallenburg
The World Assembly,
Recognizing the potential benefits of international policy on quarantines,
Aware that GAR #389 was meant as an improvement upon GAR #385, "Quarantine Regulation", which was repealed for several reasons expressed in GAR #387, "Repeal 'Quarantine Regulation'",
Concerned that the definition of "treatment", identical to that in "Quarantine Regulation", continues to include various forms of violence against and abuse of patients,
Noting that nearly all of the fourth clause of GAR #389, identical to that of its predecessor, mandates that quarantines "provide every treatment to all infected persons", rather than only those treatments necessary and beneficial to the health of quarantined individuals,
Alarmed that GAR #389 therefore gives member states the authority or, arguably, the mandate, to violate common standards of medical ethics and to inflict extreme abuse or even selective extermination of quarantined populations,
Further noting that GAR #385 and #389 maintain identical mandates on the distribution of infected persons between quarantines, forcing the infected into the nearest quarantine rather than accounting for the personal needs of infected persons,
Regretting that the Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Center's duties do not have any concrete effect on quarantines or treatment of the quarantined,
Finding that GAR #389, as a replacement for its predecessor, entirely fails to resolve the issues raised in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth clauses of GAR #387, and that all of these clauses retain their full force as powerful marks against GAR #389,
Refusing to allow a replacement resolution to remain in effect that does not address the concerns raised against its previous iteration,
Hereby repeals GAR #389, "Rights of the Quarantined".
