[Draft] Repeal GA#453: Intersystem Space Stations Programme

Postby Veniyerris » Wed Dec 26, 2018 5:07 pm

Seeing as the current GA proposal is a close vote which is currently leaning for, I have been working on a repeal for it. Feedback is appreciated


Repeal GA#453: Intersystem Space Stations Programme


The World Assembly,

Acknowledging that the intention to foster scientific advancement in space is laudable;

Believing that the target resolution to be poorly written, convoluted, and unclear in its intent;

Shocked that the target lacks defined goals, while requiring unlimited and ongoing funding, all for an undefined “scientific benefit”;

Noting the vague definition of distance in the proposal, especially in the context of nations with differing tech levels;

Concerned that the target does not take into account the desires of member nations when requiring support for the construction of space stations

Additionally concerned that the target requires nations to contribute to and fund the construction and planning of Space Stations without considering nations’ level of technical achievement or economic position;

Alarmed that the resolution would benefit nations with high levels of technological advancement, while taking precious funding away from nations with low levels of technological advancement;

Concluding that this resolution is aimed at discriminating against less wealthy and technologically advanced societies, an aim unbecoming of this esteemed Assembly;

“I would add that member nations must fund space stations, through the WA general fund, even when they do not wish to explore the cosmos, possibly for religious or sociological reasons. I’m currently neutral on a repeal; although Kenmoria has a strong interest in exploring space through the WA Mission, a replacement could accomplish this far better.”
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.

Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

"The WA general fund assesses donations based on 'donors' national wealth and ability to give'. The target requires member nations to indefinitely fund space stations (even ones they cannot afford) regardless of the national wealth or ability to give of the member nation."

Full support. It's disappointing to see #453 on the verge of being approved, so hopefully, and like Kranostav said, this is a quick instarepeal.

Full support.

Perhaps a mention that the author called this a "glaring error" in their own resolution?

The resolution is going to fail, so there isn't anything to repeal, Joscopor changed his vote :blush:
