Resolution Text
| Category: | Repeal | Resolution: | #9 | Proposed By: | Jey |

Description:
UN Resolution #9: Keep The World Disease-Free! (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument:
The General Assembly of the United Nations,
AWARE of the need for the prevention of diseases and for hygienic standards throughout member nations,
COMMENDING Resolution #9: Keep The World Disease-Free!, for its intentions to bring about disease prevention and hygienic standards in all member nations,
HOWEVER CONSIDERING that Resolution #9 fails to accomplish its goals to bring about stronger hygienic standards by not including any effective methods to do so, and only stating that citizens "should" be given the right to certain hygienic items,
FURTHER CONSIDERING that Resolution #9 fails to bring about the containment of diseases through increased access to vaccinations by directly stating that "[the vaccinations] don't have to be mandatory",
UNDERSTANDING that Resolutions #20 "'RBH' (Required Basic Healthcare) Replacement", #67 "Needle Sharing Prevention", and #77 "Epidemic Prevention Protocol" collectively provide UN member nations with declarations to bring about better hygienic standards as well as disease prevention,
CONCLUDING that Resolution #9 is not only unenforceable and void of actionable language, but its intentions are also covered by numerous amounts of passed legislations,
REPEALS Resolution #9: Keep The World Disease-Free!
- Votes For: 10,597
- Votes Against: 2,710

Voting analysis
A poll was attached to the official UN Floor debate asking UN members if their governments voted for, against, or abstained on the resolution. A comparison of the UN forum-based poll with the overall UN vote shows that there was broad support both within the nations participating in the UN debate and those not participating in the debate for repealing the Keep the World Disease-Free! resolution.
