| Repeal "Ban Single-Hulled Tankers" A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution Category: Repeal Resolution: #11 Proposed by: Jey Description: http://www.nationstates.net/06641/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=10 (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The General Assembly of the United Nations, APPLAUDING the attempts of Resolution #11: "Ban Single-Hulled Tankers" to prevent serious environmental damages involving oil tanker ships; NOTING WITH REGRET that Resolution #11 makes no legislative effort to actually prevent the oil spills referenced to, only providing the rhetoric that the United Nations "must unite to ban single-hulled tankers and endorse the use of double-hulled tankers"; CONVINCED that serious environmental issues such as oil spills should be addressed by the United Nations with legislation that contains actionable language to fulfill its intent; UNDERSTANDING that it is in the interests of the United Nations to eliminate legislation that contains nothing more than rhetoric; BELIEVING that more comprehensive and effective legislation can and should be enacted to eliminate serious environmental hazards; REPEALS Resolution #11: "Ban Single-Hulled Tankers."

| I had a quick look at the original resolution, and I noticed that to support its case, it makes reference to a damaged tanker off the coast of Spain. Now, try as I might, I can't find any nations named 'Spain' anywhere on Nationstates. Using a fictional country to make a claim is just plain silly, so I'm saying REPEAL AWAAAAAAAAY!!!! |
