[DRAFT] Repeal "World Assembly Border Policy"

Target: viewtopic.php?p=38976869#p38976869

The World Assembly finds as follows:

1. It is the sense of the World Assembly that words have meaning and that the conjunctive-disjunctive canon of statutory interpretation is a meaningful guide to interpreting statutes.

2. Section 8 of the target resolution permits WABC nations to make "reasonable restrictions... in the interest of public health and safety" against a "right of individuals of [WABC nations]... to travel or find employment" on the same terms as domestic citizens. The use of "and" in the clause means that any "reasonable restrictions" on freedom of movement made by WABC nation must show a justification in terms of both public health and public safety. This implies that reasonable regulations relying on only one element for justification are not permissible.

3. Regulations which would:
  1. facilitate the extradition of foreigners (but not domestic citizens) across international boundaries would not protect public health and
  2. require inspections for possibly agricultural products that could infect livestock but not persons would not protect public safety.
Thus, the commodious regulations in the previous section therefore are prohibited to nations which are members of the area established in the target resolution, making that area of little utility for member nations.

4. The meaning of "reasonable regulations" is unclear, as there is no test for what makes something reasonable. Such an unclear standard is unacceptable and is destructive to the goal of legal uniformity which the target resolution implies. The Assembly broadly ought to refrain from passing, and actively repeal, resolutions which heavily rely on reasonableness tests without clear and legislatively-defined standards with which reasonableness can be determined.

Now, therefore, be GA 564 "World Assembly Border Policy" be repealed.

"Just saying ‘reasonable’ is not a standard". https://imperiumanglorum.wordpress.com/ ... -standard/
