Because I'm a moron who forgets to add proposals to the TG campaigns.

The World Assembly,

Recognizing the humanitarian intentions of GA #565 to help cooperation in the event of volcanic events, and the importance of coordinating international responses when one or more member nations are affected;

Concerned that the legislation focuses heavily on the actions of individual member preparedness and response, while largely avoiding how nations may best leverage an international body to aid in the preparation and recovery of such a catastrophe when promoting international co-operation as the supposed main goal;

Recognizing that the main provisions and duties of GA #565 are duplicated, expanded upon, or more detailed in other resolutions, making it unnecessary; for example;

• GA #51 "Humanitarian Aid Coordination" establishes the IHACC, the International Humanitarian Aid Coordination Committee, which would already be responsible for the deliverance of humanitarian aid for both manmade and natural disasters and has been employed in subsequent resolutions;
• GA #570 "Disaster Precautions and Responses" provides for emergency responses and preparedness for a variety of natural or manmade catastrophic events, which covers both volcanic eruptions but also secondary non-volcanic activities; and
• GA #585 "Emergency Broadcasting Standards" requires that member states create, maintain, and employ emergency broadcasting systems when necessary, which may include before, during, and after volcanic and non-volcanic activities;

Believing that the original legislation's articles and mandates used ambiguous or passive language making implementation or integration a possible challenge with other extant legislation, and;

Understanding that removal of this legislation causes no detriment to natural disaster preparedness in the case of volcanic activity due to aforementioned resolutions, while causing unnecessary bloat in the legislative body;

[The Overmind]

Support as written.

[Elyreia]

Current plan is to submit at week's end, as the original draft passed with 77% of the delegation vote, and the illegal clause was removed, so I see little need to spend months in the drafting phase again.

[Desmosthenes and Burke]

For clarity, what are the "dangers mentioned above" referenced by the ends of the clauses about 570 and 585?

Good catch, seems I copied the wrong draft over. I'll have that edited tomorrow (as the correct draft is on a machine I will have access to again tomorrow).

[Elyreia]

The correct version has been uploaded.

[Belleroph]

Full Support. This is a deserved repeal, and I look forward to seeing it at the voting stage.

[Haymarket Riot]

Yay! So happy to see this being submitted again

[Elyreia]

This has been submitted after the promised week as no further issues were raised.

I also forgot to add the proposal link in the TG campaign. Kill me.

I'd resend but I don't want to spam inboxes.

[The Ice States]

Claudia Lindner, Deputy World Assembly Ambassador of the Eternal Union of Devonia and the Ice States, interrupts an ominous silence in the debating chamber.

"This is now at vote."

[Elyreia]

"I hear there is a holiday ongoing, so I wish those delegates who celebrate to do so; to everyone else I proffer a relaxing time."

"We'll be here to handle any inquiries for the resolution."

They sit down at their desk, smoothing out their dark yellow skirt over their lap, folding their hands and waiting patiently.

[Freemarket]

Vote For: Freemarket supports repealing GA #565 due to its redundancy and ambiguous language. Existing resolutions already address its objectives more effectively. Streamlining legislation promotes clarity, efficiency, and respect for national sovereignty. We will vote in favour.

[Proud Balkan]

Merry Christmas all.I have resolutions for next year(2025) and they are-peace(no more war) and health.

[Spoonbreaker]

Any thing that makes things less complicated I’m on board for
