GA Proposal: Repeal "Digital Network Defense"

[Wischland]

Repeal "Digital Network Defense"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#378

Proposed by: Saint Tomas and the Northern Ice Islands

General Assembly Resolution #378 “Digital Network Defense” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Observing this assembly’s dedication to protecting the privacy of the various citizens of World Assembly member nations, through resolutions such as “Data Protection Accord”, “Privacy Protection Act” and “Right to Secure Digital Communication”;

Concerned by the total lack of respect for personal privacy by “Digital Network Defense”, codifying the right of member nations to monitor their citizens’ digital footprint and allowing them to easily justify such an invasion of privacy by saying it was to monitor digital security threats, and by blocking future legislation from restricting their ability to do so; and

Realising that in order to restrict member nations from invading personal privacy willy-nilly through World Assembly legislation, “Digital Network Defence” must be repealed; hereby

Repeals “Digital Network Defense”.
