[ABANDONED] Mandatory Vaccination Act

[Aclion]

What about the committee only rule?

[The United Artherian Federation]

What about the committee only rule?

Doesn't apply here.

The Committee only rule enters the room when the proposal is only creating a committee, this proposal making vaccines mandatory, and is using a committee already in place.

Therefore this proposal is good.

[The United Artherian Federation]

So are we good to submit?

[United Massachusetts]

So are we good to submit?

Do you plan on campaigning for it?

"I see no problems with how this proposal currently is. Lexium supports this."

Each citizens should become each citizen

...
I don't have stamps, so I guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way.
But yeah.

[United Massachusetts]

This has been submitted, it appears.

[Laeral]

There are several minor typos in the version submitted.

it'll have to do

Your proposal:

1. Tasks the World Health Authority (WHA) with publishing reccomendations as to the appropriate scheduling, techniques, and dosages for vaccinations,

2. Mandates that all member states of the World Assembly require each citizens to receive any vaccinations deemed neccessary by the World Health Authority, subject to its appropriate guidlines, unless a health hazard would be posed by the receiving thereof,

3. Clarifies that said vaccines will be made easily accessible in all member states, and cost shall not be a barrier to obtaining one,

4. Authorizes the usage of the World Assembly General Fund to aid in the distribution of vaccines to nations unable to obtain them.

GAR 41:

1) An appropriate part of World Health Authority’s budget shall be directed for buying and distributing, when and where necessary, high-cost life-saving medications and vaccines. Negotiations shall take place between the agencies and patent holders so as to achieve a minimum acceptable price, one that does not hamper the industries affected nor further research, nor depletes the WA economic resources or otherwise adversely impacts the multitude of activities dependant on WA funding.

2) Life-saving medications’ and vaccines patents may be temporarily waivered only in the most extraordinary of situations, like in the presence of imminent or unfolding public health catastrophes, such as lethal airborne diseases with a small period of incubation, strictly for as small a period as necessary, as determined by the WHA and only after every other venue of emergency negotiations between the WA and the patent holders have been exhausted.

3) If such a waiver is to be proclaimed, patent holders shall receive financial compensation proportional to the period between such proclamation and the suspension of said waiver, after a through audit of the values disputed, done by the WHA, the WA Trade Commission, and the WA General Accounting Office, in an appropriate time frame, and always mindful of the imperative of not to adversely impact the universe of WA-funded activities.

a) Funding for such compensation shall come from the usual WA funding mechanisms. Private donations, insofar they may create a perception of bias, are strictly forbidden.

4) The WHA shall, through statistical analysis, identify diseases that affect mainly the poorest populations, diseases for which there have not been as yet serious attempts at a research for a cure or a vaccine.

a) A Health Research & Development Division is hereby created within the WHA, with the aim to research and develop cures and vaccines for said diseases. All breakthroughs arising therewith shall be put into public domain. Products arising from such breakthroughs shall be produced according to standards set by the WHA and its divisions, and distributed when and where necessary.

Partial duplication is not illegal.

Point is that there's no contradiction. If anything, I'm concerned about duplication.

"Any duplication would be minor, and I don't think serious enough to raise any legality issues."

"Forgive me," the Hr. Lord Alfred Francis started, "but does the WHA actually produce and administer the vaccines, or do they merely act as advisors and enforcers? The submitted proposal appears to say the latter, but I want to make sure the intent is not to have the WHA actually produce and administer the vaccines over our own healthcare professionals before I weigh in on it."

"I believe it to be the latter, since the submitted proposal mentions nothing about production or administration."

Hmm. On further reading the problem is probably rather here:

1) An appropriate part of World Health Authority’s budget shall be directed for buying and distributing, when and where necessary, high-cost life-saving medications and vaccines. Negotiations shall take place between the agencies and patent holders so as to achieve a minimum acceptable price, one that does not hamper the industries affected nor further research, nor depletes the WA economic resources or otherwise adversely impacts the multitude of activities dependant on WA funding.

vs

Clarifies that said vaccines will be made easily accessible in all member states, and cost shall not be a barrier to obtaining one,

There seem to be two conflicting methods/budget usages here.

No there aren't. The second merely summarizes the first

OOC: Based on recent GenSec rulings this looks like a committee violation to me.
