WA Resolution: Repeal "Prevention of Terrorism"

[MinnaCaroline]

Description: WA Resolution #12: Prevention of Terrorism (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: ACKNOWLEDGING the resolution’s valiant effort to fight and eliminate both international and internal terrorism,

NOTING that the Prevention of Terrorism resolution fails to ever define or interpret what constitutes a terrorist, terrorist organization, or terrorism,

REGRETTING that the proposal allows too broad an interpretation of the controversial words mentioned above,

REALIZING that such undefined terms could lead to false accusations between member states toward possibly innocent and neutral states, which could lead to declarations of war, and endangering international peace,

NOTING that the resolution in question does not outline any specific steps or take any concrete action that would actually protect WA member states from terrorism;

FURTHER NOTING that the resolution does not bar member states from providing financial or material support for terrorist individuals or organizations;

FURTHER REGRETTING that the resolution in question prevents more effective legislation on terrorism from being introduced;

SEEKING an opportunity to establish a better, more accurate resolution to help more effectively fight global terrorism with well established definitions of those mentioned in this and former Resolutions,

The World Assembly hereby repeals the “Prevention of Terrorism” resolution.

Voting Ends: Sat Nov 15 2008

[The Colonial Fleet]

I think it was more to do with the way the resolution went about it, by making untenable claims and bad writing. In the description of the repeal, the author makes it clear that their intent is to make way for a better resolution. Sure in the interim it's the bombing of the week club, but hey that's bureaucracy for you.

[Estayland]

Another repeal of a resolution. This seems to happen quite often.

Resolutions are tug of wars, between social viewpoints. Often though, like this one, it's a tug of war between those who read the proposals with critical thinking and those who don't.
