urges, not requires.
That's not how contradiction works.
For example,
GA #378, Digital Network Defense merely encourages "nations which possess digital devices to assist in securing such devices against cyberattacks". If you tried to ban nations from doing that, it'd be contradiction. Same here.
Again, I don't believe this qualifies either. Section 1 of the proposal addresses citizens leaving their home nation to seek care, not nations allowing entry for seeking medical care, whereas GA #76 speaks of "entry to a nation".
If you're traveling to another nation, you are by necessity entering the other nation. Also, your proposal doesn't say anything about leaving a nation, it just bans any restrictions on "seeking healthcare".
This is your strongest point of contention. "Requires... to the best of their capability" isn't a full-blown mandate, more like a strong urge, but you may be on to something here.
"Requires" is a strong active clause, so it is a full-blown mandate, whether you like it or not.

For the record, on the 14th I clearly stated on the draft thread that, barring any issues with the language, I intended to submit it "in the next few days" (that was four days before submitting it, after receiving no further comment regarding issues with the language).
And like I said, I wasn't paying attention to your thread.
I will admit, that was an oversight on my part. Two pages on the most current drafting thread is too much to look through, I guess. I will try to remember to post the submitted version in the OP in the future.
It's not that it'd be a bother to look for it in two pages, but you don't know to look for it, if you don't know it exists. If there's the same thing in the OP that you know has already pointed out to be illegal, there's no reason to leave further comments on the thread, until the earlier ones have been incorporated into the draft.
Someone else raised a good point in the At Vote thread:

The main problem with the proposal is that it prohibits people from "seeking healthcare", rather than "seeking healthcare not available in their nation".
