[DRAFT #1] Repeal GA#702 "Improving Infant Nutrition"

Postby Tinhampton » Wed Jan 22, 2025 10:01 am

Word count: 295
Lydia Anderson, Tinhamptonian Delegate-Ambassador to the World Assembly: Tinhampton is, with some reluctance, in favour of the World Assembly Headquarters repeal at this time. Nevertheless, given the salience of the Headquarters issue, I imagined it would make sense to also try to repeal the other resolution that references it - and in particular one that, in its other aspects, may be less than fully inclusive.

OOC: This is an independent venture - I am not doing this on behalf of TWP, Outback, Perdition, or any other region. I did get some help from Bran Astor/Illahee/Walkabout in the drafting stage. His main contribution was to suggest that I get rid of one troublesome clause which I subsequently replaced, however, and all of the words in the proposal are my own - so, while he does not get co-authorship (nor did he want it), he is more than worthy of a shout-out here.

Repeal "Improving Infant Nutrition"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Target: GA#702
Proposed by: Tinhampton

General Assembly Resolution #702 “Improving Infant Nutrition” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Aware that, while many species in the World Assembly (such as humans, cows and pigs) can avail themselves of breastfeeding and infant formula, plenty of other species rely on other means of feeding their young,

Observing that GA#702 focuses chiefly on breastfeeding and formula milk as means of infant nutrition, while neglecting to meaningfully discuss the other means available to different sapient species within the WA, which could potentially result in confusion among all parties about how to provide adequate protections for such inhabitants,

Befuddled that Article 3c requires every member state to incentivise all "owners of private property to provide "hygienic spaces"," which may be an honourable goal where the property owned is a warehouse or a public toilet, but would be patently unsuitable for properties such as houses with pre-existing bathrooms or fields with no adjoining building swhere installing new hygienic spaces would be unreasonable,

Noting that Article 4c requires the Office of Building Management to provide for hygienic spaces to be made available at the World Assembly Headquarters, even though an overwhelming majority of this body voted in favour of GA#767 "Repeal "World Assembly Headquarters,"" which not only established the Headquarters but was also the only other active resolution at the time of the target resolution's passage to even mention its existence, and

Concluding that GA#702, by virtue of attempting to cover the entire sphere of infant nutrition in one resolution, runs into a bureaucratic morass which serves neither in the interests of parents, infants, businesses, nor member states, and

Hopeful that each member state will adopt its own national strategy for infant nutrition that is sensible, reasonable, and responsive to the needs of their sapient species...

The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#702 "Improving Infant Nutrition."

Fellow delegates, I rise today on behalf of the Republic of Firetrail Canyon to strongly support the repeal of GA#702 “Improving Infant Nutrition.” While it is true that breastfeeding and infant formula are valuable practices among certain species in our community, the resolution falls short by overlooking other feeding methods crucial to the wellbeing of sapient infants across our member nations. Moreover, the requirement that private property owners provide hygienic spaces—regardless of whether a property already has suitable facilities or whether installing new ones is simply impractical—unfairly burdens both businesses and individual property owners alike. Coupled with the resolution’s continued reference to the soon-repealed World Assembly Headquarters, it becomes apparent that GA#702 has become muddled beyond repair. Each nation needs the freedom to establish its own prudent and adaptable infant nutrition policies that reflect the remarkable diversity of our union. For these reasons, I invite you all to join Firetrail Canyon in supporting the repeal and returning appropriate decision-making powers to our individual nations.

Respectfully delivered,
The Republic of Firetrail Canyon

"Repealing the target at this time is most charitably described as dangerous given the situation regarding the Headquarters. If this is to be submitted, we strongly urge the Tinhamptonian mission to wait until Resolution #8 is replaced."

Anderson: The World Assembly deserves a clean break. The Headquarters will remain in operation, from what I have been told - as a repeal can only repeal; it cannot dismantle a physical building. But where it goes from here is a question I believe should be considered by the World Assembly with clarity and justice.

For the time being, we will be supporting the Bisofeyri Delegate Representation Act, as it has been amended to our satisfaction. The Knootians also have their own headquarters and... casino proposal, which amused some of our staff greatly, and has made some of them think even more. A good number of alliances in support of the current repeal, although by no means all, believe that a physical headquarters is completely unnecessary.

The stakes here are not like those with the old Rights and Duties of WA States, where such a policy as an international military or police force - a concept we remain opposed to - was at issue. But they are about where, and how, the ambassadors should convene. This is another important issue, and one where a good many people believe that the World Assembly's current implementation of the idea has been thoroughly botched. Tinhampton will continue to fight for a physical, durable solution to the issue; we will continue to oppose all efforts to convene the ambassadors via conference call or other non-physical means; and we will continue to draft this resolution - in part to ensure that we can approach the issue of the Headquarters without bias, and in part to remove a necessarily-unworkable resolution about breastfeeding and suchlike from the records.

Anderson: Given the progress that has been made on the Knootian World Assembly Headquarters and Casino Act, and the aforestated Bisofeyri proposal, we are pleased to resume work on this. Of course, it is our policy as a delegation never to submit proposals that are not entirely ready.
