Again, address praise to Illahee, criticism to Vara.
Repeal: GA 17 "WA General Fund"
Recognizing that GA 17 "WA General Fund" contains numerous inconsistencies and oversights within its clauses, which prevent the establishment of a stable and fair funding mechanism for the World Assembly (WA);
Concerned that Clause 1’s emphasis on voluntary donations is contradicted by Clause 4, which imposes mandatory assessments based on national wealth, effectively turning voluntary contributions into coerced payments and undermining the resolution’s intent to avoid compulsory financial burdens;
Noting the lack of enforcement mechanisms to ensure member states meet assessed contributions, leaving the WA’s financial stability vulnerable to unpredictable and unreliable funding, especially during economic downturns or crises;
Acknowledging that Clause 5, which returns budget surpluses in proportion to contributions, disproportionately benefits wealthier states, creating an inequitable system resulting in greater returns and influence, undermining equality among member states;
Alarmed that Clause 7’s ban on deficit spending severely restricts the WA’s flexibility to respond to urgent global crises, such as natural disasters, pandemics, or conflicts, hindering its ability to fulfill its mission of promoting global peace and cooperation;
Further noting that while Clause 8 affirms member nations' control over domestic taxation, it fails to address the expectation of using public funds for WA donations, creating potential conflicts between national priorities and international obligations, destabilizing the WA’s financial foundation;
Disapproving of Clause 6's lack of clear safeguards, as it mandates audits by "outside agencies" without specifying criteria for independence, impartiality, or accountability, raising concerns about potential corruption, waste, and mismanagement of WA funds;
Asserting a more coherent, equitable, and reliable funding structure is necessary to ensure financial stability, fairness among member states, and the WA’s capacity to respond efficiently and effectively to global challenges;
Hereby repeals GA 17 "WA General Fund."
