General Assembly Resolution # 24
Repeal: “Prevention of Terrorism”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #12 “Prevention of Terrorism” (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
ACKNOWLEDGING the resolutions valiant effort to fight and eliminate both international and internal terrorism,
NOTING that the Prevention of Terrorism resolution fails to ever define or interpret what constitutes a terrorist, terrorist organization, or terrorism,
REGRETTING that the proposal allows too broad an interpretation of the controversial words mentioned above,
REALIZING that such undefined terms could lead to false accusations between member states toward possibly innocent and neutral states, which could lead to declarations of war, and endangering international peace,
NOTING that the resolution in question does not outline any specific steps or take any concrete action that would actually protect WA member states from terrorism;
FURTHER NOTING that the resolution does not bar member states from providing financial or material support for terrorist individuals or organizations;
FURTHER REGRETTING that the resolution in question prevents more effective legislation on terrorism from being introduced;
SEEKING an opportunity to establish a better, more accurate resolution to help more effectively fight global terrorism with well established definitions of those mentioned in this and former Resolutions,
The World Assembly hereby repeals the Prevention of Terrorism resolution.
