[PASSED] Repeal GAR#595 Active Reduction Of Space Debris

Postby Fhaengshia » Mon Feb 07, 2022 1:20 am

It appears there were some oversights in this resolution (if it passes), based on the feedback received after this had come to vote here is draft 1 for a repeal so there can be a better replacement.
Also I see there is another draft but as the co-author of "Active Reduction Of Space Debris" I feel I have a bit more insight now as to the flaws in the resolution.

The General Assembly,

Appreciating the intent of [resolution=GA#595]GAR#595: “Active Reduction of Space Debris”[/resolution] to improve the under-heard environment of space and orbital habitats;

Believing, however, loopholes and other flaws in this legislation render it unworkable;

Acknowledging that although [resolution=GA#349]GAR#349 “To Prevent Dangerous Debris”[/resolution] requires that all space-launched objects de-orbit in a fashion, GAR#595 requires stronger incentivization for the overly-well defined platforms it directs member states to construct and utilize, as the unclear and unfortunate wording fails to specify an active requirement for the deployment of space debris de-orbiting platforms,

Additionally finding that the requirement for any affected space debris to be of a sufficient size that the effort would not be "wasteful" in de-orbiting could likewise enable member states to selectively define wasteful to an otherwise unreasonable level, thus enabling member states to also skirt responsibility in this regard,

Identifying that the narrowness of clause 3 is burdensome and restrictive to different member states as although it describes in great detail methods to be used, it however fails to sufficiently qualify when member states with more advanced technology are able to introduce their more efficient developments for space debris removal, and more-so that lesser-developed nations would be prevented from using the technology available to them to comply with the resolution, having yet to acquire the more advanced methods,

Finding that the environmental protections of atmospheric worlds from the effects of space debris burn-up in clause 2 to be sadly insufficient, particularly because the requirement that space debris must be de-orbited within 5 years of becoming debris has potentially disastrous consequences, requiring immediate de-orbit of such an astronomical volume as to detrimentally affect delicate atmospheric balances,

Lastly alarmed that clause 2 additionally could allow for more efficient methods to circumvent such environmental protections, thereby damaging the intentions of this resolution,

Now, hereby, the World Assembly repeals GAR#595 “Active Reduction Of Space Debris”.


The General Assembly,

Appreciating the intent of [resolution=GA#122]GAR#595: “Active Reduction of Space Debris”[/resolution] to improve the under-heard environment of space and orbital habitats;

Believing, however, loopholes and other flaws in this legislation render it unworkable,

Acknowledging that although [resolution=GA#349]GAR#349 “To Prevent Dangerous Debris”[/resolution] requires that all space-launched objects de-orbit in a fashion, GAR#595 requires stronger incentivization for the overly-well defined platforms it directs member states to construct and utilize, as the unclear and unfortunate wording could enable member states to skirt responsibility of adherence to the deployment of space debris de-orbiting platforms,

Additionally finding that the definition of "space debris" in relation of a sufficient size that the effort would not be "wasteful" in de-orbiting could likewise enable member states to selectively define wasteful to an otherwise unreasonable level, thus enabling member states to also skirt responsibility in this regard,

Identifying that the specificity and technicality used in clause 3 to be burdensome and restrictive to different member states as although it describes in great detail methods to be used, it however fails to sufficiently qualify when member states with more advanced technology are able to introduce their more efficient developments for space debris removal, and more-so that lesser-developed nations would still require the as-specified platforms due to their technology having yet to advance to such a state to utilise the more advanced methods,

Scrutinising that the environmental protections to atmospheric worlds in clause 2 to be sadly insufficient under the effects of space debris burn-up, particularly with an interpretation that space debris must be de-orbited within 5 years of becoming debris having potentially disastrous consequences with this situation requiring de-orbit of such an astronomical volume as to detrimentally effect delicate atmospheric balances,

Lastly alarmed that clause 2 additionally could allow for more efficient methods to contraindicate such environmental protections thereby leaving such intentions spurious,

Now, hereby, the World Assembly repeals GAR#595 “Active Reduction Of Space Debris”
The General Assembly,

Appreciating the intent of [resolution=GA#122]GAR#595: “Active Reduction Of Space Debris”[/resolution] to improve the under-heard environment of space and orbital habitats;

Believing, however, loopholes and other flaws in this legislation render it unworkable;

Finds as follows:
  1. Acknowledging that although [resolution=GA#349]GAR#349 “To Prevent Dangerous Debris”[/resolution] requires that all space-launched objects de-orbit in a fashion, GAR#595 requires stronger incentivization for the overly-well defined platforms it directs member states to construct and utilize, as the unclear and unfortunate wording could enable member states to skirt responsibility of adherence to the deployment of space debris de-orbiting platforms.
  2. Additionally finding that the definition of "space debris" in relation of a sufficient size that the effort would not be "wasteful" in de-orbiting could likewise enable member states to selectively define wasteful to an otherwise unreasonable level, thus enabling member states to also skirt responsibility in this regard.
  3. Identifying that the specificity and technicality used in clause 3 to be burdensome and restrictive to different member states as although it describes in great detail methods to be used, it however fails to sufficiently qualify when member states with more advanced technology are able to introduce their more efficient developments for space debris removal, and more-so that lesser-developed nations would still require the as-specified platforms due to their technology having yet to advance to such a state to utilise the more advanced methods.
  4. Scrutinising that the environmental protections to atmospheric worlds in clause 2 to be sadly insufficient under the effects of space debris burn-up, particularly with an interpretation that space debris must be de-orbited within 5 years of becoming debris having potentially disastrous consequences with this situation requiring de-orbit of such an astronomical volume as to detrimentally effect delicate atmospheric balances.
  5. Lastly alarmed that clause 2 additionally could allow for more efficient methods to contraindicate such environmental protections thereby leaving such intentions spurious.

Now, hereby, the World Assembly repeals GAR#595 “Active Reduction Of Space Debris”

Good point, I reviewed some of the more recent repeals before initial drafting and the prevalence of lists must have won out

I've put forward changes in the replacement to address the arguments in this repeal.
Putting this on last call as a bump as I seek to submit this soon.

OOC: It is very very possible (if not probable) that this is just me being dense, but the wording of this clause leaves me thoroughly confused ... I am unsure what specific language you are identifying as being problematic in the target resolution, and exactly how it results in member nations being able to avoid complying with the target's requirements (or intended requirements).

Some clarity suggestions in red (some of these might simply be a case of personal preference!):

Scrutinising that Finding the environmental protections to of atmospheric worlds from the effects of space debris burn-up in clause 2 to be sadly insufficientunder the effects of space debris burn-up, particularly with an interpretation because the requirement that space debris must be de-orbited within 5 years of becoming debris havinghas potentially disastrous consequenceswith this situation, [<-- add comma] requiring immediate de-orbit of such an astronomical volume as to detrimentally effect affect delicate atmospheric balances,

However, I find your overall argument persuasive!

If an author wishes their own proposal to be repealed – within reason – I see no reason to stand in the way.

Yeah, kinda silly not to support this when it's the author who proposed the bit in the first place.
