Repeal Resolution:

CODE


Category: Repeal
Resolution: #9
Proposed by: Jey

Description: UN Resolution #9: Keep The World Disease-Free! (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The General Assembly of the United Nations,

AWARE of the need for the prevention of diseases and for hygienic standards throughout member nations,

COMMENDING Resolution #9: Keep The World Disease-Free!, for its intentions to bring about disease prevention and hygienic standards in all member nations,

HOWEVER CONSIDERING that Resolution #9 fails to accomplish its goals to bring about stronger hygienic standards by not including any effective methods to do so, and only stating that citizens "should" be given the right to certain hygienic items,

FURTHER CONSIDERING that Resolution #9 fails to bring about the containment of diseases through increased access to vaccinations by directly stating that "[the vaccinations] don't have to be mandatory",

UNDERSTANDING that Resolutions #20 "'RBH' (Required Basic Healthcare) Replacement", #67 "Needle Sharing Prevention", and #77 "Epidemic Prevention Protocol" collectively provide UN member nations with declarations to bring about better hygienic standards as well as disease prevention,

CONCLUDING that Resolution #9 is not only unenforceable and void of actionable language, but its intentions are also covered by numerous amounts of passed legislations,

REPEALS Resolution #9: Keep The World Disease-Free!


Original Resolution:

CODE

Keep The World Disease-Free!

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Fallopian Tube

Description: While the hygiene standards of the world has certainly improved in the last 100 years, there is more to be done.

Every citizen in every land should have the right to:

At least one toilet in their house;
At least one washbasin in their house;
At least one of either a bathtub or a shower;
in order to comply with hygiene standards and prolong life expectancy.

Furthermore, vaccinations should be made available to the public, although they don't have to be mandatory.
Vaccinations against the big diseases such as:
Malaria, typhoid, rubella, cholera, polio, et al.

With the backing of the UN, we can give even our poorest inhabitants a nice, clean, healthy life.

We in Quakmybush are against this resolution, as we see no reason why it should be taken away.


(OOC: I clicked the wrong one in the poll, there should be one less for, and one more for against)

As the current moment it would be bad form for me to change Quak's vote. Since I can't even tell if he voted let alone for what.

As such people please becareful when voting in any of these polls, you only have one chance and you don't have the chance to correct it of you do happen to make a mistake.

The Bettian representative recommends a hearty REPEAL AWAAAAAAYYY! for two reasons:
  • The original resolution seems to think that owning your own bathtub increases your life expectancy. We certainly don't agree with this logic.
  • The original resolution has an exclamation mark in its title - that's reason enough in our books.

Oh dear, very poor original resolutions - get rid of this one.

Considering the status of the pole I have voted in favour of the repeal. IF this changes, for some strange and inexplicable reason the situation changes it will be remedied
