Vote Against GA resolution Repeal "Protecting Sites Of Religious Significance"
Resolution Analysis
Overview
'Repeal: "Protecting Sites of Religious Significance"' seeks to repeal GA 522, "Protecting Sites of Religious Significance". It argues that the resolution imposes unnecessary bureaucracy, especially in light of existing protections under GA 287, "Cultural Site Preservation". Furthermore, it argues that the resolution's definitions are sufficiently vague for it to precipitate a number of issues.
Recommendation
The at-vote repeal ultimately fails to make a convincing case for stripping religious sites of the target's protections, which are sufficiently separate from those of prior resolutions. Additionally, the repeal's argument that the definitions of the target resolution would cause trivial sites to be protected in perpetuity is unconvincing, given that the target is sufficiently vague to allow for a reasonable interpretation of its mandates. Further, the repeal assumes that members' court systems are incapable of reasonably determining what constitutes an actual religion.
For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends voting Against the at-vote General Assembly proposal, "Repeal: 'Protecting Sites of Religious Significance'".
