GA resolution Repeal "GMO International Trade Accord"


General Assembly Vote Recommendation

Part of the Information for WA Voters program

Resolution at Vote: Repeal "GMO International Trade Accord"
Vote Recommendation: No Recommendation

Resolution Analysis
Overview
"Repeal 'GMO International Trade Accord'" argues that the target proposal fails to implement and enforce proper regulations on member nations. The at-vote proposal points to several instances of "vague" and "weak" wording as well as several exemptions within the target proposal, and asserts that the aforementioned points allow for far too loose interpretations of the target and permits member nations to sidestep the effects of some provisions as well as penalties for noncompliance entirely, thus weakening the target and undermining the goal it aims to achieve.

Recommendation
The at-vote proposal makes several potentially valid justifications for repeal in its arguments that the target allows member nations too much jurisdiction in interpreting certain clauses through the use of the phrase 'reasonable' and that it fails to expressly require member nations to enforce regulations implemented by the committee established in the target. However, the proposal's other arguments center on the target's intentional omission of genetic modifications obtained through hybridisation and lack of regulations on intellectual property, which are arguably broad enough to be covered in separate proposals.

The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs will not issue a concrete recommendation for the at-vote General Assembly proposal "Repeal 'GMO International Trade Accord'", though we encourage individual nations to consider the above points when deciding how to vote.
