GA resolution Ban on Secret Treaties
Resolution Analysis
Secret treaties lack promulgation and ratification, by their nature. Moreover, these tend to be of precarious value, because they are closed or quasi closed political treaties. The resolution at vote promotes the creation of a dedicated committee, which will keep monitoring the publication of all laws, treaties and international agreements. These actions would contribute to the formal follow-up of diplomatic agreements. However, GAR#323, "No Penalty Without Law", specifies that such treaties, laws or judicial precedents must be of a public nature, which leads us to reconsider the actual contribution of the committee that is intended to create under this resolution, since it would be redundant.
The Ministry of WA Affairs asks voters to take these points into consideration when casting their vote.
