A resolution to strengthen international responses to Genocide
Category: International Aid
Strength: Weak
Proposed by: Malairium
Description:
Article I, Preamble:
The World Assembly recognizes the right of each member state to autonomous self-governance. It further recognizes the sovereign state as the foremost provider of security, as well as the central mechanism for human development. However, the World Assembly also believes that the sovereign state is not an infallible tool in the pursuit of human development. The World Assembly recognizes that in cases of state-sponsored genocide, there is currently sparse support for victims. The World Assembly hereby enacts this resolution to promote international cooperation against genocide.
Article II, Definitions:
1) Genocide shall, for the purposes of this resolution, be defined as the killing of people based solely on their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, or gender.
Article III, Requirements of Nations:
1) The WA Commission on Human Rights (WACHR) will be given the authority to:
1a) use World Assembly funds to secure the safety of potential or current victims
1b) coordinate international responses to instances of genocide
1c) investigate instances of genocide, and develop recommendations to avoid further cases
2) The WACHR does not have the authority to compel any state to make action
3) At no point, unless explicitly stated otherwise, does the GPA give a state the right to:
I. Breach international law, particularly in regards to the treatment of non-combatants
II. Exploit the GPA to benefit their own state at the cost of the threatened population
