General Assembly Resolution

Repeal: “Promotion Of Bee-Keeping”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#224

Proposed by: Namwenia

General Assembly Resolution #224 “Promotion of Bee-keeping” (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly

Recognizing the importance that pollinating species play for the flora of individual member states;

Believing that specific provisions within GAR #224 hinder natural processes, allowing the forced relocation of species that may be contrary to a species normal migratory patterns and behaviors;

Mildly entertained by the acronym carefully embedded into General Assembly Resolution (GAR) #224;

Noting that bee populations are endangered in certain member state;

Acknowledging that as GAR #403 (Trade Of Endangered Organisms) prohibits the sale or transport of endangered bee populations therefore making the requirements of GAR #224 conflict with the goals of GAR #403;

Further acknowledging that GAR #465 (Preventing Species Extinction) charges member states and the WA Endangered Species Committee with establishing conservation plans which would include the beekeeping protections intended to enhance endangered bee populations outlined in GAR #224;

Realizing that subsequent GARs such as 531 (Trade and Tariffs Convention) provide a better framework for trade of non-endangered bees between member states;

Further noting that GAR #376 (Pesticide Regulations) covers the insecticide requirements outlined in GAR #224;

Considering that broader legislation now provides a sufficient legislative framework to achieve the same aims as GAR #224, and its removal will remove parallel processes, protect natural processes, and simplify the overall regulatory system;

Therefore, the World Assembly hereby repeals "Promotion of Bee-Keeping".

It does eem like the bees would be protected under the previously passed resolutions. The “Promotion of Bee Keeping” legislation seems of no use, now that more resolutions have been passed protecting all animals, including bees. I vote for.

[Pantso]

spratlyislands is right; the points of the original resolution appear to be covered by others more efficiently and effectively. Pantso also recommends For.

I cannot support any resolution written by someone residing in TCB due to my concerns over their WA minister.
