WA Resolution: Repeal "Coordinating Relief Aid"

[Harmonious Treefolk]

Description: WA Resolution #5: Coordinating Relief Aid (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: ACKNOWLEDGING that, in principle, such a resolution is an admirable effort to better provide relief aid to areas that need it,

APPLAUDING all non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that focus on providing such humanitarian aid,

NOTING that, although providing relief aid should be a fundamental part of The World Assembly, the coordinating of NGOs is not an effective way to go about it. This is because, naturally, many NGOs would prefer not to affiliate themselves with an organisation such as The World Assembly and shall continue to work independently thus making coordination of relief aid a fruitless task.

SEEKING an opportunity to establish a resolution which would put World Assembly resources to a more effective system of providing humanitarian aid,

AND HOPING that a resolution will, in the future, be put forward to create a World Assembly body that will, while working closely with NGOs in an informal capacity, shall provide its own structure of providing relief aid.

The World Assembly hereby repeals the 'Coordinating Relief Aid' Resolution.

I know I jumped the delegate on this in posting this, but I think it'll stand.

In any case, my vote on the matter is "No." There may be a flaw or two in the resolution's text; however, the cost in human lives should the resolution be repealed without a viable alternative will be high. I feel that if an alternative resolution is drawn up and it appears to be superior to resolution 5 and it has enough support to pass, then perhaps a repeal of resolution 5 is in order.

We voted "no" on this one, with me changing my vote from Bananas to No. It passed anyway. Nothing to vote on right now, but three resolutions in queue-check back shortly for another poll.
