Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#456

Proposed by: Honeydewistania

General Assembly Resolution #456 “Freedom to Seek Medical Care II” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Acknowledging General Assembly Resolution 456, “Freedom to Seek Medical Care II”, as a resolution that permits people to seek medical care in foreign nations;

Troubled by the poor wording of Clause 4, which prohibits a member nation from taking legal action against its medical tourists except for those violating World Assembly law, which could allow such tourists to evade domestic justice;

Believing that creating a class of individuals who are exempt from vast swathes of law means that people they harm are unable to secure justice;

Convinced that a resolution with such a blatant disregard for the national laws of member nations should not be enacted by this assembly;

Hereby repeals General Assembly Resolution 456, "Freedom to Seek Medical Care II".

I don't usually support repeals, but this clause makes sense:

Troubled by the poor wording of Clause 4, which prohibits a member nation from taking legal action against its medical tourists except for those violating World Assembly law, which could allow such tourists to evade domestic justice;

For this reason I vote FOR

Yeah, this proposal is a nitpick, and I don't love nitpick repeals, but the point raised is true and a big problem. FOR the repeal.
