Repeal "Conscientious Objector Act"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#127
Proposed by: Diogenes Epicurius
Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #127: Conscientious Objector Act (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: RECOGNIZING that there are many religious, philosophical and ethical systems that forbid violence.
UNDERSTANDING that many individuals who object to violence are at risk for punishment from their government and fellow citizens for failing to perform in military duties.
RECOGNIZING that the rights of these individuals should be protected.
PRAISING the attention that GA Resolution #127 has brought to this issue.
CONCERNED that under the current language of the "Conscientious Objector Act," active military personnel may falsely develop "objections" when faced with performing as prescribed in a legal contract which includes combat duties.
CONCERNED that such an act creates a dangerous precedent in countries in adherence to international law of soldiers signing up for combat positions and then being able to break their contract when called upon to do their duty.
CONCERNED that such efforts could cripple nations of the World Assembly if they engage in combat with a state not in adherence to international law.
CONCERNED that such precedent threatens all contracts made with a government by proxy.
RESOLVES that General Assembly Resolution #127, "Conscientious Objector Act" should be repealed immediately.
REQUESTS that should the "Conscientious Objector Act" be repealed all member nations should do their utmost to abide by the rest of the motion until a better worded act may be presented to this Assembly.

Bah. What's even the point to starting new threads for all these blasted
reruns? :rolleyes: And coming up this weekend: yet
another repeat of a previous broadcast! I'm starting to root for male-genital mutilation to make quorum, if only to have something new to watch. Luckily February is sweeps month. :dixie:

How do you think I feel, being the one who formatted and rescripted the damn thing?
Thankfully, it's down to four hours and eleven approvals. I severely doubt it'll pull through.
