Repeal: "Ban on Secret Treaties"
Category: Repeal | GA #408 | Proposed by: New Waldensia
General Assembly Resolution #408 “Ban on Secret Treaties” (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Observing that GAR #408, "Ban on Secret Treaties", includes a closing clause defining "secret treaty" as "military-grade weapons and feline animals of varying sizes with tabby coats", a statement that is incongruent with the text of the rest of the measure, and to most appearances is so wildly different as to appear to be meant as a joke,
Believing that it is very inappropriate for such a clause to be found in a General Assembly resolution, making a mockery of this august body,
Noting that the General Assembly ought to be an institution dedicated to serious discussion, necessitating a certain level of decorum and respect be observed when proposing resolutions,
Mindful that GAR #408 sets a precedent that could be detrimental to future operations of the General Assembly,
Convinced that this definition is an improper meddling with the plain understanding of language and the long-standing meaning of the phrase "secret treaty",
Therefore be it known that the General Assembly repeals GAR #408, "Ban on Secret Treaties".
