[Withdrawn]Repeal:“Citizenship And Birth Act”

[In Insulam Autem Sanguis Et Magia]

The World Assembly,

AFFIRMING that the intended purpose of "Citizenship and Birth Act" is to ensure that children do not become stateless,

OBSERVING that the resolution fails to alleviate situations that most commonly result in statelessness, including the following:

1. Children born to parents who are stateless.
   
2. Stateless children found unaccompanied by any family and/or are orphaned without nationality.
   
3. Individuals who become stateless because of the all too common dissolution of states.
   
4. Individuals unable to obtain proof of birth or nationality status due to war, dissolution, etc.
   
5. Any individuals who become stateless at any time after birth, and many other cases.

NOTING that the resolution arbitrarily prescribes a default of jus sanguinis citizenship, despite preventing statelessness in only a limited capacity not including any of the cases observed above,

ASSERTING that this incomplete legislation evokes a more efficacious resolution to be chartered,

HOPING for the opportunity to introduce a more proper solution to this most pressing issue to the General Assembly,

HEREBY,

REPEALS "Citizenship and Birth Act".

I really appreciate any guidance and input seasoned WA folks have to give. The proposal for replacement can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=506987

Applies to both your threads: you don't need to bump them nearly as fast as you did. (Once every 24 hours is the maximum and generally even that's a bit on the high side for the GA forum since threads don't fall off that quickly here.)

My apologies! I kept forgetting to add those bits, I didn't consider that it bumped it in the forum. It won't happen again, I am truly sorry.

I would be willing to support this repeal

Ambassador Tappe: "Our delegation does not see the point of this proposal. There is no harm that comes from having the target resolution on the books. We would suggest the authoring delegation focus on creating new law, instead of repealing a resolution which, though it doesn't resolve the issue, still provides some protections against statelessness."

Ambassador Tappe,
I appreciate the feedback and encourage you to view the replacement that exists in the forum as a draft here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=506987. Nevertheless, I would disagree that having ineffectual resolutions does not cause harm when the very individuals these resolutions affect continue to be without the protections of a nationality. Rather than write a resolution that would potentially cause confusion, the target is best repealed and replaced for a proper solution.

Not sure why you decided to submit this without much feedback. Opposed since it doesn't make a good enough argument to repeal.

[Coronational Chechyans and affiliates]

2 delegates needed with ,3 hours left. If you had put this up for review and gotten some discussion going I think you could probably get this thing to vote

I apologize for not articulating it well enough. Is there something specific that you look for in repeals that would have made this a better proposal?

Was the time after posting not long enough? What would have been a more acceptable time frame so that I know better for the future.

I really welcome and appreciate feedback. Thank you for taking the time to help a new author. <3

I think you submitted it too early and despite reaching quorum, you would have a better shot if you withdrew it and kept on working. One week isn't enough to get feedback because it takes a while to write feedback for GA drafts. If you get feedback from those who are GenSec, then they are the ones who are very knowledgeable and can give you a lot of good advice.

My first successful GA resolution, Disease Naming Compact, was drafted for about two weeks. A repeal-and-replace effort like yours might need a bit more time so that both proposals can be of sufficient quality when they must be submitted; I honestly have no idea despite having just pulled one off myself

All submitted proposals will fall out of queue and fail to reach vote unless they are legal and receive the approval of 6% of regional delegates in three days and n hours (where n is the number of hours before the update that begins exactly three days after the proposal's submission; for a proposal submitted at 7pm BST this Thursday, for instance, n = 10). This time limit - I reiterate - applies to all proposals, regardless of how long they have been drafted for.

Is the expectation that the repeal resolution should await the full completion of the replacement and what is the best way to illicit substantive feedback?

OOC: A number of players -- some of them influential -- are likely to reject a repeal unless & until they see [what they regard as] a better replacement.
Also, "elicit", not "illicit".

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it and will keep it in mind moving forward with both proposal drafts.

Why did you withdraw it?

Why did you withdraw it?

Because I'm no longer repealing and replacing.
