Vote For GA resolution Repeal: "National Economic Freedoms"
Resolution Analysis
Overview
This proposal seeks to repeal GAR #68, "National Economic Freedoms", due to several key issues it introduces, as well as the author's contention that it has outlived its usefulness as a whole. Notable flaws highlighted in the proposal are that the Impartial Mediation Foundation's mandate is not clear enough and doesn't clarify that the committee is only meant to work in matters of commerce, leading to the potential for extraordinary amounts of bureaucratic morass that significantly hinder the General Assembly's work, that there exists no good reason for member states to hinder their ability to restrict objectively undesirable forms of commerce beyond the narrow exemptions provided within the Resolution, and that that Resolution fails to account for member states with significant delegation of authority and governance to regional subdivisions.
Recommendation
We find the author's arguments within the proposal to be convincing. The target Resolution, though probably necessary for its time, has indeed outlived its usefulness, and given fatal flaws such as the failure to properly restrict the Impartial Mediation Foundation's mandate, we see no reason for it to remain as standing legislation. We recognize that there may be persuasive arguments against this proposal, primarily concerning the potential threat to member states' ability to determine their own internal affairs surrounding commerce and economic systems. However, we believe that the scope of legislation potentially opened by the passage of this proposal would be limited to the restriction of commerce viewed almost universally as objectively harmful, and would not extend to broader restrictions on doctrines of economic organization (such as legislation targeting free market economies or collective ownership of productive means).
For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, Repeal: "National Economic Freedoms".
