GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION AT VOTE

A Ban on Forced Disappearances
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Unibotian WA Mission

Description: The General Assembly,

Appalled by governments that resort to enforcing disappearances, most commonly to deny individuals of their existing civil and political rights,

Defines a Forced Disappearance as a political tactic, where a government or government sponsored entity conceals the fate, or existence of an individual or a group of individuals who were required by said government to vanish from public view,

Hereby Solemnly:

1. Prohibits member nations, and the World Assembly from forcing the disappearance of any individual;

2. Requires the reversal of the political tactics used against victims of forced disappearance by …
(a) Releasing to the public all of the government documentation surrounding these cases of forced disappearances;
(b) Publicizing the whereabouts of these individuals, or the circumstances of their death;

3. Demands that there be no statute of limitation on forced disappearance;

4. Permits member states to protect the identities and whereabouts of an individual in a way that may bear characteristics of forced disappearances, provided that the intentions of this resolution are respected and that the said individual has given consent;

5. Declares that any organization of a member nation which utilizes the provisions of Clause 4 must be officially publicized to said member nation at least to the extent of the general purpose of the program or bureaucratic entity being publicly documented;

6. Requests that such public documentation must also include that the organization is utilizing Clause 4 of this document;

7. Welcoming the addition of further legislation on the subject by member states, such as providing reparations to victims of forced disappearances, or their families.


Our intitial urge is to vote "NO" on this. What other compelling opinions do Heartlanders have? Yes or No?
1 day, 11 hours ago FlagDennisov Go with your urge, it's a good one.
1 day, 10 hours ago FlagGrays Harbor To clarify something.... There seems some confusion among some the difference between "delegate" and "endorsement".

A Delegate is the person in the region with the most endorsements.

An endorsement is just that, an endorsement.

22 hours ago FlagArborlawn To clarify something.... There seems some confusion among the relationships between "Delegate", "Endorsement", and the ability to make a "Proposal" in the WA.

A Delegate is the person in the region with the most endorsements.

An endorsement is just that, an endorsement.

ALSO: A nation is required to have 2 ENDORSEMENTS to make a proposal in the WA, which is why it is important to support WA nations.
14 hours ago FlagGrays Harbor what proposal are you wishing to make?
11 hours ago FlagArborlawn I am wishing to Repeal "International Road Safety", also known as Resolution #83
4 hours ago FlagGrays Harbor Ah. Good luck with that. Although, we were generally in favour of that one here. :)
2 hours ago FlagGrays Harbor It seems Arborlawn couldn't quite get the two ideas, "delegate" and "Endorsement" as being somewhat seperate through. Oh well. Bye Now.
