I am bumping this now that GA76 has been repealed.
Cretox State's original repeal:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=523911
As posted on various discords, I have permission from Cretox to use his text when we collaborated again on various resolutions, most notably GAR#681 (non-compete clauses restraints). That said, this draft is dissimilar to Cretox's draft because Cretox was looking for a straight repeal, I am looking for a repeal-to-replace to remove certain cringe-worthy sections that go above and beyond the Vienna Convention such as "best healthcare" etc.
GA22 is here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_pa ... /council=1
GA76 is here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_pa ... /council=1
The repeal of GA76 is a necessity for reform on diplomatic immunity because clause 3 states:
"BELIEVING that foreign nationals, excluding diplomatic and consular officers, should abide by the laws of the nation in which they are present, though mindful of the variation in law and legal systems between nations"
Basically my plan is to restrict diplomats from misbehaving and that requires some work on repealing both laws.
Draft 2 - Simone Republic's draft
The World Assembly,
Convinced that international diplomacy is the bedrock of this body,
Concerned that the target, supposedly protecting diplomats, lacks clear definitions on what constitutes "diplomats", "family members" and various "immunit(ies)" in the first place;
Dismayed that the target grants carte blanche immunity to diplomats (and whatever distant family members, howsoever defined) to (mis)behave outside of their home states with limited recourse for those affected by such behaviour;
Noting that the target also creates numerous loopholes for exploitation, such as, for example:
- the target requiring host nations to "provide the diplomat with the best medical care on hand in cases of emergency" even if that specific care isn't actually necessary or in accordance with the priorities of the host nation (or that of its emergency services) in dire circumstances such as in natural disasters;
- the target resolution's blanket ban on nations searching or seizing the belongings of diplomats serving in that nation, even if the search or seizure is a routine security measure out of genuine necessity, or is necessary to stop an imminent threat to national security or people's lives;
- the target’s ill-defined judicial process for a diplomat, such as:
- confusion over presenting evidence of a crime "to the nation the diplomat is from" while banning critical ways to collect that evidence in the first place;
- protection for diplomats whose diplomatic immunity has been revoked from "prosecution for suspected crimes that occurred during the immunity by the nation in which they are serving", but not exempting the said diplomat from prosecution when such a diplomat is outside of the relevant WA state;
- the target's requirement of a diplomat's home nation's agreement in order for a nation to detain that diplomat for longer than 24 hours even if "they serve a direct threat to the wellbeing of others", thus creating a parallel process over and above a nation’s own judicial process;
Looking forward to a suitable replacement that properly governs relations between WA states;
Hereby repeals GA 22 "Diplomat Protection Act."
