| Repeal "Metric System " A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution Category: Repeal Resolution: #24 Proposed by: The Dourian Embassy Description: http://www.nationstates.net/-1/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=23 (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: Understanding that "Metric System" seeks to standardize weights and measurements, specifically, converting all nations to the metric system, Regretting, however, that the resolution fails to require any standardized weights and measurements, or provide any details for their implementation, defeating its central purpose, Seeking the opportunity to pass more detailed and comprehensive international weights and measurements standardization, Noting that this ineffective piece of legislation bars such an act from passage, The United Nations hereby repeals "Metric System". Votes For: 178 Votes Against: 267 [Delegate Votes] Voting Ends: Tue Mar 11 2008 |

| We're inching towards a YES vote; it's got gallons of potential and is miles ahead of the competition. |

| Although we in SN prefer the metric system we recognise the right of individual nations to determine their own system of measurement. Repeal we say. |
