Repeal "Humanitarian Intervention" A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution Category: Repeal Resolution: #92 Proposed by: Omigodtheykilledkenny Description: UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: This Assembly, having convened to reconsider its adoption of UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention, observes the following: 1. The United Nations through past legislation condemns in the strongest possible terms egregious human-rights violations such as genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity; 2. The United Nations is committed to enforcing relevant legislation expressly forbidding such offenses by member states; 3. The United Nations is not necessarily opposed to international interventions with a humanitarian purpose, but does fear that UN involvement in military operations as stipulated by Resolution #92 is inappropriate; 4. The United Nations expresses strong concerns over the serious flaws evident in the remit of Humanitarian Intervention, specifically: - that it permits the United Nations to authorize offensive actions against member states, in contradiction of the UN's long-held tradition of strict neutrality in international theaters of conflict; - that it subjects the territorial sovereignty and integrity of member states to a vote by a panel of unaccountable UN diplomats, allowing the United Nations to disregard member states' said sovereignty at the request of two or more nations; - that it allows the United Nations to authorize interventions in non-member states, who are decidedly outside UN jurisdiction and are under no obligation to uphold UN mandates, however beneficial or well-intentioned; - that it grants the overseeing panel unlimited powers to meddle in the planning and execution of intervention operations, greatly impeding their effectiveness and likelihood of success. Whereas: This Assembly considers the above-cited flaws to constitute a serious overreach of the mandate of the United Nations to protect international human rights; This Assembly in particular strongly condemns this act's attempt to enforce UN dictates on non-member states; This Assembly reassures its members that the enforcement of UN proscriptions against human-rights violations by member states will continue, even in the absence of an intervention accord; This Assembly is convinced that nations finding cause to intervene in cases of grave human-rights abuses committed in other countries will do so, with or without a UN permission slip: Be it therefore resolved: 1. UN Resolution #92: Humanitarian Intervention is hereby repealed. |
