Vote For GA resolution Access to Life-Ending Services
Resolution Analysis
Overview
Following the passage of 
Imperium Anglorum's Repeal: "Assisted Suicide Act", this proposal seeks to enshrine the right to consensual euthanasia and assisted suicide in international law. It goes about achieving these lofty goals by preventing WA member states from prohibiting such procedures within their borders, punishing citizens for seeking or failing to seek them, coercing residents into choosing one option or another, and bars any legislation that might indirectly affect the citizenry's access to life-ending services. Furthermore, the proposal also requires that a facility offering such services must be locally accessible for all patients who might seek them out, and preserves the right of medical facilities to abstain from euthanasia and assisted suicide procedures should there be other regional facilities capable of carrying out such procedures. Alternatively, WA member states may fund the transit fees for patients that do not have relevant facilities in their location, with WA funds available to those states which lack the proper resources to fund such endeavors.
Recommendation
This is by no means a perfect proposal. The requirements laid out in article 1(iv) are too narrow, the choice of category is debatable, and some generally strange language choices make it perhaps not as strong as it could have been. Nonetheless, in spite of the above reasons and legitimate objections made regarding the author's character, we find the potential benefits this proposal has to offer vastly outweigh its flaws.
For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Access To Life-Ending Services".
This IFV Recommendation was written in collaboration with our World Assembly Legislative League partners.
