OOC: Amendments are not possible. Read the proposal rules.

OOC: If you're asking whether to put both repeal and its replacement in the same thread, don't. One topic per thread, and one thread per topic. So a repeal would be drafted in its own thread, and the replacement would be drafted in another. And in both cases new drafts on it, would go in the same thread.

So let's say you create a thread for your repeal, posting a draft of it there. Then people give you feedback on it, and you write another draft of the same repeal. You post it in that same thread. (You'll also want to post it in the first post and spoiler the older drafts, so people know which draft to comment on.)

Here's what Kravonija originally wrote:

I’ve never done one of these and thought I would try, so feel free to rip me or this proposal to shreds. This is an amendment to a Resolution establishing the World Health Authority in 2009 and I wish to update some of the terminology, specifically remove decent health standards to universal health standards to create a more uniform health system that can meet the needs of anyone especially in cases where foreigners are injuries abroad. So things like blood types, medication, terminology, etc would be the same regardless of the nation or region you are in. Also added some goals to the WHA to meet

Amendment to GAR # 31

Proposing Nation: Republic of Kravonija

The World Assembly,

Acknowledging the importance of establishing the World Health Authority (“WHA”) and it’s mission to bring decent health standards, coordination and preparedness to combat threats to health as outlined in GAR#31.

Concerned by the execution, management, and terminology of WHA and it’s mission, thus;

Removing section I knowing it is encouraged in section V.

Replacing “decent health standards” to “universal health standards” and further defining “universal health standards” as standards accepted by the health community without deviation from one health agency to another.

Understanding that establishing universal health standards improve quality and establishes the minimum continuity of care of individuals from various nations and regions.

Amending section III establishing WHA, with the missions to include:
- Establish universal health standards to be followed in WA member states.
- Train or assist with the training of health professionals.
- Assist regions and nations during their transition to improve health services.
- Improve and establish access to essential medicines and health product.
- Support delivery of essential health services, medicines and health products in emergencies.
- Support in the pursuit of elimination and eradication of high-impact diseases and virus.

Defining “emergencies” as times of military or civil conflict, and major threats to health.

The World Assembly,

Believing that the nations of not only the World Assembly, but those outside WA jurisdiction should be committed to the health and well-being of their people,

Further believing that good health is a key component in socioeconomic growth, development, and progress,

Deeply concerned by the potential lack of prevention and control of disease or other threats to good health in the respective member states of the World Assembly, as well as the potential lack of coordination between agencies of nations in bringing medical advances and preventative measures to nations of the WA in fighting disease, as well as addressing overall health concerns,

Emphasizing the importance of disseminating crucial information concerning current and emerging threats to global health throughout the international community, to include nations which may not hold membership in the World Assembly,

Resolving to bring decent health standards as well as coordination and preparedness to combat threats to health to as many nations as possible, hereby:

I) Strongly encourages nations to make spending commitments to achieving decent health standards for their people;

II) Further encourages coordination between the existing health agencies of nations in order to promote decent health standards in the international community;

III) Establishes the World Health Authority (WHA), with the mission to:
-identify, assess, and communicate current and emerging threats to global health,
-actively research treatment, cures, and preventative measures concerning threats to global health,
-coordinate efforts between WA member states in preventing and controlling serious health concerns;

IV) Mandates the establishment of WHA offices in the member states of the World Assembly, as necessary in order to:
-monitor the global health situation in order to prevent and control emerging threats,
-articulate and advise governments on health matters with information that is both ethical and evidence-based,
-disseminate crucial information and research concerning health internationally in a quick and orderly fashion,
-coordinate and/or support relief efforts in WA member states in partnership with the appropriate agencies or take responsibility itself should those agencies be unable to respond;

V) Strongly encourages individual nations to:
-create agencies concerned with the health of their people,
-research ways to prevent and remedy threats to decent health,
-disseminate such information in the international community in order to impede threats to decent health.
