[Defeated] GA Proposal: Repeal: “Museums Of Musical Heritage

[Markanite]

Repeal: “Museums Of Musical Heritage”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#86

Proposed by: Excidium Planetis

General Assembly Resolution #86 “Museums of Musical Heritage” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The Assembly of Worlds,

Baffled that GA#86 "Museums of Musical Heritage", a resolution so ancient as to be put in a museum itself, mandates the creation of the Museums of Musical Heritage (MoMH) as an "association of museums", while failing to either detail any means by which a museum may enter the MoMH, or mandate the construction of museums to join the MoMH, thus meaning that the MoMH may very well only exist as a hypothetical, empty entity in the bureaucracy of the World Assembly,

Arguing that despite likely not even having any museums, the Museums of Musical Heritage program is nevertheless an unnecessary expense on Assembly resources, requiring:

The maintenance of numerous facilities and online archives which it is merely suggested that member nations ensure access to, potentially resulting in many member nations not even having access to these facilities and archives.

The funding of these archives through the use of compensation to those who donate artefacts to them, yet it is unclear whether the donations by such member nations and organizations and individuals therein are really voluntary or merely compensated involuntarily; where the money for such compensation is coming from; and who these "impartial arbitrators" are.

Speculating what future generations who learn about the World Assembly from museums will think when they learn that, while its funds may very well have gone into the involuntary purchase of musical items, none of them have actually gone into creating the association of museums the resolution purports to create,

Encouraging the members of this Assembly to think carefully about the legislation they choose to enact in the future and whether it is both economically feasible and effective for upholding this Assembly's ideals,

If you build them, they will come.

[Astrobolt]

Not convinced by the arguments, and given the submitting author wishes to repeal the vast majority of GA legislation (since its ‘not an international issue’) I’m opposed.

[Vivolkha]

Yeah no. This resolution's only real argument is "well it's expensive" as if that mattered at all to the WA. Also, last clause is unnecessarily abrasive, and further reinforces my previous point, oddly enough.

Against.
