I am fully aware that I lack the required amount of endorsements to submit a formal Proposal to the General Assembly, however, in case I do successfully manage to hold the required endorsements for my Proposal, I wish to submit the Draft below to the General Assembly.

Repeal 'Data Protection Accord'

the General Assembly,

APPLAUDING the efforts of the Data Protection Accord, in the struggle for personal privacy rights on an International scale,

RECOGNISING that privacy is a fundemental foundation of basic human rights,

however,

NOTICING the flawed nature of the Resolution, which has ignored the needs of a member-state to perform intelligence-gathering in the context of defence, which is primarily achieved by the infiltration of privacy, (NOTE: Albeit this clause may seem to be more of an argument on national sovereignty over the intelligence-gathering process, this clause does not contain entirely a 'national-sovereignty'-themed argument. This clause is an attempt to pinpoint the need, not the right, of member-states to act in intelligence-based self-defence via the infiltration of personal privacy, IRL e.g. phone tapping.)

therefore, the General Assembly repeals 'Data Protection Accord'.

OOC: Happily the resolution doesn't forbid data gathering of foreigners, whether they're in your or their own nation.

Does that fact imply that my Proposal does not qualify for submission?

OOC: Well, it makes your argument moot; since gathering of foreigners' data is not prohibited, and foreign individuals are the once of interest for intelligence relating to defence-based matters.

(OOC: Furthermore, the proposal allows government to view data if a judicial order has been issued, which presumably would be the case if the individual in question was suspected of working as a spy.)

I appreciate your advice. I will return soon to draft on a different argument.
