[FAILED] Repeal: “World Assembly Headquarters”

[Goobergunchia]

The General Assembly

Repeal: “World Assembly Headquarters”

Repeal

Target: GA#8

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Proposed by Kavagrad

The General Assembly,

Noting that GA#8 was passed by a slim margin many years ago,

Observing that many important global events have befallen the international community since that time,

Aware that many of the staff working inside the World Assembly Headquarters would be better off working from home in this day and age,

Cognizant of the carbon emissions resulting from the semi-regular travel of thousands of delegations to and from a single international headquarters,

Suggesting that decreasing the degree of travel necessary for WA diplomats to do their jobs may well aid in the fight against climate change,

Asserting that there are many other uses for the land on which the World Assembly Headquarters currently resides that would provide far more social good, such as, but not limited to:

• Free social housing
• Affordable social housing
• Extortionate social housing
• A shopping centre
• Many pubs
• The world’s largest brothel
• Decorative rubble

Conceding that there may be some alternative uses that might provide a net negative to the international community, such as an office for a law firm,

Ignoring this on the grounds that lawyers will likely be dealt with when the revolution comes,

Hereby Repeals GA#8 “World Assembly Headquarters”.

On one I’m not sure the target resolution is the best, on the other I’m not sure having no HQ at all and everything happening remotely is a satisfactory solution. Lean against but keen to hear others’ thoughts

The UN/WA HQ existed in RP prior to the passage of GA#8 and would still exist if this resolution passed. It's misleading, at best. And there is no current replacement draft (for remote work or anything else) so its passage would simply leave GA RP in a hopeless muddle.

Also, we need somewhere for WA committees to be headquartered.
