Yes, I'm aware I come at this from a "lib" perspective, as long as it gets the proposal off the books I see no problem with how I approach the issue.
Repeal: Right of EmigrationCategory: Repeal | Target: GA #279Target: GA #279
The World Assembly,
Believing that a right to emigration, and further moves toward a freedom of movement among World Assembly member states, is a positive step and lauding GA #279 as a positive first step towards guaranteeing a right to freedom of movement, however;
Appreciating the mandate contained in (a) as necessary from a public health perspective, but decrying that a state could manipulate “medical necessity” since the term is not defined at all in the target resolution, thus in order to stop individuals with some disorders or diseases from travelling in or out of their border, nations could abuse a “quarantine”, thus weakening the overall effect of the resolution.;
Noting that the mandates contained in (b) and (c) are easily abusable as a state could invent or otherwise press false or trumped up charges on a citizen of their nation in order to detain them indefinitely, and similarly a nation could seek a warrant for the arrest of their citizen on the basis of these spurious or otherwise false charges, thus stripping them of the right to emigrate even though they had either not committed the offense in question or not to the degree of severity pronounced;
Ascertaining that the lack of a description of what constitutes a “crime” in (d) allows a reasonable nation to believe that any action which requires the involvement of its justice system is a reasonable justification to stop one from emigrating, thus allowing a nation to stop civil defendants from being allowed to leave a country, a gross violation of a right to emigration;
Noticing that in the "clarifying" clause, the mention that nations may “set[ting] requirements for entry and residency within their borders” results in a nullification of the right to emigration, as a nation could choose to set an arbitrarily high bar for residency and entry such that individuals could not make the choice to freely emigrate;
Recognizing, then, that GAR #279 does not achieve the goal of freedom of movement in a manner consistent with the idea espoused;
Hereby repeals GA #279, “Freedom of Emigration”.
