Repeal "Diplomatic Protection Act"

Proposed by: Varanius, Co-authored by: Askrieg, Rhaza | Onsite Topic
Replacement: None​

The World Assembly,

Admiring GA#22’s aims of curtailing corrupt abuses of power by unsavory actors against diplomatic officials;

Concerned, however, that the material of the resolution paves the way for reckless criminal diplomats to wreak havoc amongst member states;

Troubled by GA#22’s provision of blanket immunity to World Assembly diplomats, ensuring legal protection for any number of illegalities so long as their perpetrator was assigned to communicate to the World Assembly on behalf of another nation, even if diplomatic immunity is later revoked;

Distressed that subsection d. prevents the temporary non-medical detaining of ambassadors for longer than 24 hours, even when those ambassadors pose an immediate threat to the wellbeing of others, unless their patron approves;

Perturbed that GA#22 only prohibits the sending of diplomats with the express intention of espionage or atrocity, with no statute or prohibition of espionage so long as espionage was not expressly intended;

Disappointed in the resolution’s flat and simplistic definition of diplomatic immunity, which provides no commentary or clarity on civil prosecution;

Convinced that GA#22, despite its noble intent, serves in no small part to absolve malignant diplomats of legal responsibilities, and so grants them an extralegal position liable to cause harm to civilian populations,

Hereby repeals GA#22 “Diplomat Protection Act”.
