A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#454
Proposed by: Slui
General Assembly Resolution #454 “Debtor Voting Rights” (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly:
Noting that the resolution in question comes from, and represents, a part of the World Assembly most member nations are in favor of, notably the Furtherment of Democracy;
Nevertheless disappointed with the phrasing of the resolution in question;
Concerned that the resolution in question may be too broad, by failing to, among other things, define “debt”
or adequately provide for proper implementation;
Worried that the author Imperium Anglorum is simply pursuing an additional resolution for nationalistic gain and in doing so violating the spirit of the World Assembly;
Further concerned that the language of the resolution as written may violate national sovereignty in some instances, due in part to a lack of definitions, as mentioned above;
Hereby repeals GA Resolution #454, entitles Debtor Voting Rights

The above resolution is nothing less then an insult to the world assembly community. If one is to lose the right to vote on grounds of debts then is not an attack on said persons civil rights?
I ask this body to overturn this resolution on grounds that it is too vague on it's meaning. How much debt is grounds for suspension of the civil right to vote in ones nation?

Honest Mistake, the resolution specifically prevents what the repeal is arguing that it does

Debt shouldn't become reason to deprive someone rights to vote. Therefore this resolution need to be repeal and abolish.
Same as resolution before, honest mistake as it prevents exactly this.

Noting that the proposal "Debtor Voting Rights" makes an exception between all the crimes commited due to the need of money.
Acknowledging that this exception is difficult to apply because of the concreteness of it and the protests or possible riots caused by this differentiation between criminals imprisoned for the need of money.
Knowing the titanic work that is requested to the smaller countries with higher crime rate to comply with this exception.
Calling for the third point of the #419 GA Resolution, "3. Reserves for member nations the liberty to legislate on the issue of enfranchisement for individuals under incarceration." to notice that "Devtor Voting Rights" contravenes this point of said previously approved resolution.
The WA members hereby repeal the proposal passed at 18/01/2019 "Debtor Voting Rights".
Honest Mistake for highlighted parts. First It doesn't make an exception for crimes. Second, it doesn't prevent nations from disenfranchising inmates. Individuals imprisoned for debt are still inmates and therefore can still be disenfranchised based on the fact that they are inmates (regardless of why).
