[Draft] Repeal: Protection of Airspace
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2019 11:20 pm
Tried to keep this fairly straight forward. The original author of PoA (East Meranopirus) and I will be working on a replacement to be passed upon this repeal. That draft will be out asap and I don't plan to move this repeal to the floor until we have a replacement draft posted on the forums. In the meantime, this repeal points out the basic flaws/issues and creates room for the replacement to be proposed.

Repeal: Protection of Airspace
The World Assembly,
Recognizing that Protection of Airspace possesses many flaws that actively harm the protection of airspace,
Highlighting the issue in the definition of ‘aircraft’ in that it explicitly requires sapient beings to have total control over the aircraft, thus creating a legal gray area with drones, UAVs, and auto-pilot functions of aircraft,
Dismayed at the erroneous definition of ‘airspace’ that relies on the maximum altitude of ‘airfoil based flight’ which is effectively nonmeaning and ignores the more complex considerations of flight and engine capability,
Noting that the flaws in the above definitions create issues in the definitions of ‘territorial airspace’ and ‘international airspace’ as well as the application of the resolution on an international scale,
Stating that this proposal only aims to supply a minute amount of sovereignty over domestic airspace that is most likely already present in member nations and their territories,
Concluding that this proposal is greatly hampered in application by its flawed definitions and does little to protect the airspace of member nations,
Hereby repeals....
As always, feedback is always appreciated!
