[Passed] Repeal "Quarantine Regulation"

[Tinhampton]

Wouldn't it be more wise to, instead of just repealing this resolution, propose a more adequate an detailed version?

DELEGATE-AMBASSADOR SMITH: "I was about to say something, but Ambassador Bell beat me to it."

[Los Marcos]

Repealing this act is a superfluous action. Instead a amendment to the original law must be enacted. Define what needs to be defined. Fix what needs to be fixed. and Clarify what isnt clarified. DO NOT fix what isnt broken. we do not need to repeal this. we need to modify it. Vote no.

[De Iskalde Brenningfjordene]

Shouldn't we have a repeal and replace sort of measure? It's kind of like Obamacare in the RW. Yeah it sucks and needs to be gone, but you have to have a replacement plan. Shouldn't we have that plan ready to go and a part of this resolution so that there is no gap in quarantine protocol?

You can't legislate within repeals, that violates the GA rules. Repeals and replacement resolutions must be separate.

"Amendments are illegal and replacements require a repeal."

Then let us emplace legislation that makes amendments legal, rather than re-writing everything from scratch

[Almonaster Nuevo]

I would be a lot happier with this if there were a proposed replacement.

[Arkadian Nations]

Seems somewhat nonsensical that there is no amendment system in place. It would make these proceedings much easier. I would call for legislation legalizing votes on amendments, and am happy to support such legislation upon debate.

BTW: I'm not sure that this assembly needs to define what constitutes "appropriate force" when stopping escapees in quarantine. This is entirely circumstantial and is more of an issue for individual national legislation, and military/police protocol in respective member states. Global legislation can not possibly apply adequately to every individual escape, and each escapee may require different levels of force based on their own actions, and based on local laws. protecting the public from mass pandemic can require lethal force while quarantining a lone patient for their own safety may require significantly less severe actions. We simply cannot cover something that broad, and any attempt to do so is likely in vain, if not overly intrusive where sovereignty is concerned. If and when this legislation is repealed, I would consider putting that up for debate and vote with the new legislation.

Well, there's this.

OOC: take it up in Technical. That isn't a procedural issue, thats a coding issue.

[Virginian Inquisitors]

I agree with other comments made here about an amendment system. However, in lieu of that, it is necessary to repeal and then replace a resolution with something better. I support the repeal.

It doesn't work that way. The World Assembly cannot change its ruleset with its own legislation.

As pointed out, there is one.

Same goes for you. The WA has no authority to remove rules from the ruleset.

OOC:
Admins have said there will be no amendment system. It's the rules, we cannot change them, so stop complaining about it and debate the merits of the repeal itself.

[The Atlae Isles]

The Atlae Isles delegation is very surprised that some voting nations still do not understand on amendments on resolutions, replacements and resolutions, and how they are mostly illegal.

What is on debate here is whether regulation of quarantines should be modified. As long there is a helpful replacement, the Atlae Isles will vote FOR the repeal. However, while a replacement would be the advisable path to go, one can not legislate in repeals (except repealing previous legislation.

[States of Glory WA Office]

Fairburn: We are happy to support this repeal effort. Best of luck, Ambassador Lockwood.

We are opposed to this repeal which we believe is merely nit picking.

[Varvuk]

this is ridicolous, if this resolution was so bad written why did it came to our tables to vote, please make better resolutions otherwise we are just wasting time.

Ambassador, sometimes people make mistakes.

I believe you have already stated this.

[Potted Plants United]

OOC: Not giving you an entire IC post, but because the hivemind saw the target resolution unnecessary, their vote is for the repeal.

[Zasnia]

I agree that there are loopholes in this resolution. However, this proposal though with its faults does improve the conditions for those which the act affects. Repealing the proposal and starting all from scratch again may not be the best idea. Make a proposal that is built on top of what 385 has completed, then repeal and put up the revised proposal.
