Official Voting Recommendation
Proposal Title: Repeal: “WA Counterterrorism Act”
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#25
Proposed By: The civitas islands
Purpose: A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Our Recommendation
The Ministry hereby recommends that all WA nations vote FOR the current General Assembly proposal at-vote.
Rationale & Analysis
This proposal highlights many flaws with the original resolution, most notably the clear and harmful lack of protections for non-state groups. While it is important to recognize the threat that terrorism poses globally, it is also important that the World Assembly not fall for simple scare tactics which drastically lessen the freedoms of discriminated groups.
While we're certainly not opposed to legislation counteracting terrorism, our Ministry believes it to be important to prevent well-meaning legislation from providing routes for discriminatory practices to be established.
As such, Ministry leadership has directed Kethania to vote FOR Repeal: “WA Counterterrorism Act” and we encourage all WA member nations within the Bloc to do the same.
