A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #37
Proposed by: Kivistan UN Bordello

Description: UN Resolution #37: World Heritage List (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Woodchipping) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The United Nations

COMMENDING the effort of UNR#37 (The World Heritage List) to protect the global environment;

DISMAYED that UNR#37 fails to stipulate how to classify locations as being of environmental significance;

DISTRAUGHT that there is no system by which the World Heritage List is to be maintained;

CONCERNED that UNR#37 does not specify what protective measures are to be taken, and by whom;

LAMENTS that UNR#37, despite its mention environmentally damaging activities, is narrowly targetted at only the woodchipping industry;

SEEKING an opportunity to pass more effective legislation in replacement;

HEREBY REPEALS UNR#37 The World Heritage List.

The current vote stands at 3,124 for to 786 against.

Here is the resolution to be repealed:

Maybe its just me but all these Repeals are getting tiresome :garpa:

Very.

Agreed. Maybe someone made a New Years resolution to repeal a certain number of laws and just left it for the last minute.

(This is Mav, obviously....)

Actually, you have a number of groups dedicated to removing bad legistlation from the books (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Reveal_%26_Repeal).

Early in the game, we didn't have a solid set of rules in place, so now we gotta repeal the old one that don't work as well as they should. Remember the "DVD region removal" (resolution #5)?

Anyways,

I can make the case that this resolution should be removed.

1) it overlaps with resolution 15

2) this resolution (Number 37) does not detail what should be put onto the WHL (only that it needs to be environomental significance), thus, you can put entire nations onto the WHL (and destroy your enemy economically, if you RP this way).

3) there is no mechanism of removing items from WHL. UN nations can also add nations that are not part of the UN to the WHL, without recourse of the UN nation doing the adding. Non-UN nations cannot add said UN nation in retailiation.

4) No defintiion of what other environmentally-damaging activities are. You can designate the growing of drugs as an environmentally damaging activity (if you don't believe in drug use) (sorry 420 :P)

See this (unoffical) WHL list on nswiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/World_Heritage_List

Vaugely :P...

I have to admit, all these repeals are getting annoying. People can't think of any cool resolutions, so they decide to get rid of someone else's hard work. Disgusting. :no:

while I understand the sentament (I remember when there was like 8 repeals in a tight bunch (out of 11)), using that logic, i guess we shouldn't have repealed Resolution Number 3

Just becuase resolution number 28 superseeds it

After all, it was Otnemem's hard work (it's the first one) and it meant well, and to prevent annoying everyone by leaving bad and or redundant legistlation on the UN books.

The resolution Repeal "World Heritage List" was passed 10,436 votes to 2,697.

I cast my vote FOR this resolution based on the result of this poll.

Thank you to everyone who voted.
