Seeing I have only rejoined the WA recently, forgive me for being a tad confused here ...

"Applauding the target resolution's intentions of setting standards for roads, bridges, and tunnels used for international travel to increase safety on public highways connected in more than one nation;"

What resolution are we repealing again?

The ITSC only makes regulations for such things "at points where roads cross international borders at which one or more member states operate customs, immigration, or other border checkpoints." It makes recommendations for all other occasions of highway infrastructure.

The basic thrust of the resolution is "international commercial road vehicles."

Clearly there is a major disconnect between what the resolution does and what the repeal thinks it does. It does not place undue burden on a nation's infrastructure, except possibly at crossing points.

Moreover since this resolution has been in place for a very long time we can assume that the committee has not done the things you have suggested it does because it would have been repealed ages ago.

Therefore, we are opposed to this repeal.

Keep The Road Safety act

Postby Amorosa-Coonarra Coasts » Fri Dec 18, 2020 3:01 am

No repealing until a good reason can be provided as to why it should be repealed and
how it will contribute towards the safety of regions and nations.
Until then my vote is sealed as 'against'.

Arawi Broadcasting Company projection for the apparent result of the bill ‘Repeal International Road Safety’.

The ABC can project that the apparent result of the Bill is Against. The WA has apparently voted not to repeal the International Road Safety act.

Thank You.

The proposal's virtually cooked now, down by 4,000 votes; it can't gain traction in the spate of 18 hours.

Could I just point out that there aren’t any proposals that have reached the quorum, so after this bill goes we won’t have anything to vote on. Would the Delegates mind picking up the pace a bit?

OOC: You do know that the Delegates are people who have life outside this game and this is a game not a job, right?
If the ambassador acts like an ambassador, it's probably Delegate Arthur.
If he acts like an edgy teen, it's probably definitely Delegate Jim.... it's always Jim

My opinion

Postby Canlonia » Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:42 pm

Not against road safety, but I don't get why the international government has to get involved in it. It seems like it should be something handled by individual governments. For that reason, I'm voting to repeal.
