WA Resolution: Repeal "Protection of Monuments"

[Hockeynutville]

Repeal "Protection of monuments"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation

Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#69
Proposed by: FlagGrays Harbor


Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #69: Protection of monuments (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: APPLAUDING the ideals expressed in Protection of monuments.

UNDERSTANDING that not all nations treat historical sites with the respect they deserve.

NOTING the spelling errors, which may cause unintended confusion with implementation.

NOTING also, the numerous loopholes which allow for a nation to essentially ignore whole sections of the statue, or to abuse the protections provided by it.
REGRETTING the exclusion of personal property as a protected monument class in that the resolution does not allow for private and/or not-for-profit ownership of structures and property designated as monuments.

FURTHER REGRETTING that only a single solution is offered, that being nationalization of historical sites, museums and monuments.

APPALLED that one such consequence would be to deprive people of their homes if they fall under the historical site category.

BELIEVING that the monuments in the world deserve better protection that those afforded by this act.

DISAPPOINTED that while this resoution stands more specific and better thought out resolutions protecting a member nations monuments can not be passed.

The Protection of Monuments is hereby repealed

what is the point moaning about a resolution and then doing nothing in your own resolution? This one isn't worth reading, it should fail.

I also found it quite amusing that he complained about spelling mistakes and theres one in his own resolution.

The point is that, if you want to improve a resolution that's already been voted into effect, you have to repeal the old one before you can put in the new one. It looks like this resolution plans to do just that.

I don't think there is a point in repealing things like that.

Oh right sorry, didn't know that lol. Bear with me, I'm still new lol.

Wow, this just went through. Don't these usually take some time before they get repealed?

[Hockeynutville]

There should absolutely be a grace period after a resolution is passed where it can't be repealed, say 60-90 days. I also think that should apply after a passed resolution has gone up for repeal and failed. That way the proposal list isn't clogged full of the same repeal a dozen times over.
