  • "Repeal "Cultural Heritage Protection"

    The World Assembly,

    Understanding that culturally significant sites are important cornerstones to many societies,

    Regretting, however, that Cultural Heritage Protection(GA#72) fails to perform its function without placing an undue burden on WA nations,

    Knowing that GA#72 "DEFINES a cultural heritage site as a [sic] area of interest, archeological, historical, or cultural to any member nation within its own jurdisticion [sic]" regardless of that site's current use,

    Lamenting that any site, even those of incredibly minor "archeological, historical, or cultural" importance, may be designated as protected at the whim of the nation housing such a site,

    Accepting that, regardless of its cultural importance, a site used to house military weapons, soldiers, prisoners of war, or used as a base for espionage should be a valid target for military attack or liberation,

    Bemoaning that, while cultural sites are often housed in or near population centers, GA#72 may encourage the use of cultural sites to house military assets because of the protections it provides,

    Believing that GA#72 was never intended to provide protection for military assets,

    Regretting that this error has been left uncorrected despite open acknowledgement by nations involved in writing the resolution,

    Hereby repeals Cultural Heritage Protection(GA#72).

    Delegate's opinion: So fully in Support of this one... Have at it, boys.

    Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.

  • Though I don't like the idea of destroying a cultural site in any way possible, as I am a historian and so many sites have been badly preserved over the years due to instances such as military targeting, I do feel it is necessary for the protection of nations and of regions should it come down to it.

  • I don't really know, to be honest. I don't want to lose the cultural heritage sites for precisely the reason they mention, but repealing it would give way for better legislation.

    For. I hope legislation comes through quickly.

  • I'd much rather this kind of thing not happen. A 500 year old Sufi shrine bombed simply for the concern it might house rebels. Just makes me sad all around. War is not my thing haha. Being a historian of war really turns you off to it.

  • I'm not one for losing cultural heritage either, but the protection of nations definitely comes first.
