Noting the good intentions of GAR#456
Believing the goal of achieving medical tourism is one we should all strive to achieve.
Noting that, between the previously repealed legislation and the resolution in effect, there is only a singular difference that does little to change to overall faults of the legislation.
Seeing the only change made between the two pieces of General Assembly legislation consist of nations now being able to prohibit the passage of citizens from their country to those of conflict.
Worried that, still, the resolution allows citizens to enter dangerous or war-torn nations, as long as they are not in conflict with the member nation.
Disappointed that, once again, the resolution fails to account for GAR #97, Quality in Health Services, which requires member states to provide a certain level of health coverage to those who cannot afford it, by allowing member nations to place treatment costs on medical tourists.
Concerned the resolution makes no attempt to reduce the risk of widespread epidemics by threatening nations taking in medical tourists that may not be able to quarantine the influx of infected people.
Appalled at the resolution’s harming of individual jurisdiction, with Clause Four making it illegal for member nations to place penalties on tourists, even when certain treatment is illegal under the nation’s laws.
Shocked that, once again, the authoring nation would allow the coding error that appeared in their previous resolution to appear, showing a lack of care from the author and to the high standards of the General Assembly.
Believing the resolution still prioritizes nonresidents over those of domestic citizens.
Hereby repeals GAR#456
