For the record, resolution text is here:
I assert that the proposal in question contradicts GA#2 by forming a committee with police powers. The final clause states:6. Empowers the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority to issue fines, enforce provision(s) of this resolution and conduct investigations against Internet Service Providers. The Telecommunication Regulatory Authority may also issue declaratory rulings, at its discretion.
I ask GenSec the following questions:
1) Is the ability to enforce a WA resolution through a committee a contradiction of GA#2's Article 10, which prohibits police actions under the WA banner?
2) Is the ability to conduct investigations against private entities in member nations a contradiction of GA#2's Article 10?
