[PASSED] Uniform Labeling of Hazardous Goods

[Christian Democrats]

In my opinion, this proposal should also include a provision to empower the ITSC to impose civil penalties, or civil fines, on carriers that violate the requirements of this proposal, the proceeds of which shall be remitted to the WA General Fund.

[Ransium]

Thanks for those thoughts; a clause which combines SL and CD's suggestions has been added.

[Kenmoria]

“Is the ‘Empowers’ clause intended to apply to businesses that don’t comply, or member states themselves? The noncompliance suggests nations, but the mandatory training suggests businesses.”

“Is the ‘Empowers’ clause intended to apply to businesses that don’t comply, or member states themselves? The noncompliance suggests nations, but the mandatory training suggests businesses.”

I agree. I think the proposal should specify that the ITSC is empowered "to levy punitive measures [on carriers or shippers] for non-compliance."

[Ransium]

I had something in my first draft but it seemed wordy. I’ll work on it tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback.

[Ransium]

And done. I'm still thinking about submitting soon, perhaps on Sunday.

[Ransium]

I've submitted this resolution.

What I want to say: That idea is extremely illegal and it would not be the right thing to let this happen

OOC: How? It follows all the rules exactly.

IC: "This legislation is very much needed, given the regular transport of hazardous goods across the multiverse. I fully support this."

[Whovian Tardisia]

"Safety should have no borders, and this resolution will help reduce what barriers exist. We offer our full support."

[Last Man Standing]

its hard to me but this capitalist resolution is needed for a safest trading between nations, i remember when the Maxtopians send us a
shipment of Uranium... i mean hypoclorite, near the obey lake the transport suffered a malfunction (probably maxtopian rebels sabotage) and the truck fell off the bridge over the lake, once our heroic rescue forces arrived noticed the conductor was safe but the truck were underwater and due the speed it break apart so some containers were opened on the impact but my mens can't recognize their symbols until the Maxtopians embassador arrived so we had to evacuate all person and animal on the lake area until the cleaning operations finished.

so this resolution will help to react more faster if this kind of accidents occurs again even those corrupt capitalist will be able to.

"I am in full support of this. Many a times you have ambiguous warning labels that look like an metal band's album, when it should have been just a skull with cross bones on it. We need the nations and the corporations to follow a single standard."

[Avuncula]

There are different levels of toxicity, and not all materials should be lumped together in a single category. What is needed is an impartial testing organization to determine exacly that, such as the EPA. Regardless of level, though, a Material Safety Data Sheet is useful for each product, stipulating the hazards and how to prevent problems, cleanup procedure, etc. Or is all this already done?

[Imperium Anglorum]

No 'and' at the end of the penultimate clause.

[Shaktirajya]

We, the People's Hindu Matriarchy of Shaktirajya, vote FOR this resolution.

Congratulations, Ransium!

[Ransium]

I've been trying to find a GA resolution that had a greater percentage support than this one, if anyone can find one that passed by a margin more than 92.8% please let me know.
