Vote Against GA resolution Safety Regulations for Trade Route Canals
Resolution Analysis
Overview
This proposal attempts to facilitate the safe and efficient passage of ships through canals. Notably, the proposal requires crews to follow safety prescribed safety measures such as traffic controls and proper communications procedures, mandates member nations conduct necessary maintenance on canals, and makes provision for restitution in the event that a ship is damaged as a result of an authority's negligence.
Recommendation
While this is a reasonably palatable concept on paper, the text of the proposal is unpersuasive. The proposal's provisions are both arduously micromanaging and frighteningly vague, with mandates that nations conduct actions that are already necessary, that holding up traffic "unnecessarily" is met with "appropriate" compensation, and that "any possible" canal fees count as canal operation requirements, among other instances of poor wording such as a requirement that vessels abide by "maritime laws."
For these reasons, the Ministry for World Assembly Affairs recommends voting Against the at-vote General Assembly proposal, "Safety Regulations for Trade Route Canals".
