Repeal: “International Salvage Laws”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#50

Proposed by: Jedinsto

General Assembly Resolution #50 “International Salvage Laws” (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Recognizing that this resolution does not actually mandate anything, only suggest its measures be enacted, while also operating under the impression that it is mandating something,

Noting that this resolution even fails to provide justification for its attempted action, only saying that such justification exists,

Wishing to remove such incredibly weak and inadequate legislation from the pages of international law,

Believing that stronger, more adequate legislation on the topic of international waters is necessary,

Hereby repeals GA#50, "International Salvage Laws."

For. Target resolution was passed back in 2009, and it's primitive in every way. Its justification is limited to "no such thing exists previously in international law", and then proceeds to issue a number of "recommendations". While I don't see anything terribly wrong with the recommendations in question, it's bizarre how such a resolution can exist without mandating absolutely anything. Definitely a better resolution is needed on the topic.
