Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#342

Proposed by: Bitely

General Assembly Resolution #342 “Civilian Aircraft Accord” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. APPLAUDS the good intentions of this assembly for recognizing that "it is the duty of all nations to protect the lives of innocent civilians"; NOTING that this resolution was intended "to enact a sensible policy that allows for the safe and secure" oversight of civilian aircraft; ALARMED that clause 2 section C requires member states to provide "Assistance to any civilian aircraft that declares itself to be in distress" even if there is sufficient evidence that the civilian aircraft is not in distress; FURTHER alarmed that clause 2 section C requires member states to assist civilian aircraft in the airspace of potentially hostile neighbor nations airspace as long as it's "within ... communication range"; REALIZING clause 2 section C unintentionally opens up both member states military and civilian first responders to possible malicious enemy military action by requiring them to assist an enemy "civilian" aircraft potentially in hostile territory even if the call of distress is suspicious; BELIEVING that by clause 2 section C requiring members to respond to all distress calls made by "civilian" aircraft within communication range, which could include hostile territory, this resolution has failed to enact a "sensible policy"; HEREBY this Assembly REPEALS "Civilian Aircraft Accord"

Alistair Stonesworth and the government of Concrete Slab will be voting Against this proposal. The repeal ignores the fact that the resolution requires pilots must be trained so as they do not make false distress calls. Furthermore, the resolution in question also expressly forbids the use of military combatants under the status of citizens. The main point of the repeal is member nations being forced to send aid into foreign nations that are possibly hostile, however, it is much more reasonable that nations where the distress call originated would be more likely to respond. Also, we resent the author for his past actions of throwing real life money at the World Assembly to pass an extremely poorly written piece of legislation Here is a link for reference.
