Though the Required Basic Healthcare resolution was replaced by the 'RBH' Replacement resolution, it was formally repealed using the repeal process by the Powerhungry Chipmunks as an administrative matter in order to have the text of the previously repealed resolution altered in the United Nations records to show its status as a repealed and replaced resolution. This repeal was adopted by a supermajority, which at the time was rare for repeals.


Resolution Text

UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #102
Repeal ' 'RBH' Replacement'
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution.
Category: Repeal Resolution: #17 Proposed By: Powerhungry Chipmunks

Description:
UN Resolution #17: Required Basic Healthcare (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument:
The United Nations,


CALLING TO MIND the passage of “Required Basic Healthcare” from June 5, 2003 and its presumed ‘replacement’, "’RBH’ Replacement" from June 26, 2003,


RECOGNIZING “Required Basic Healthcare” as a valuable reference document, though outdated in its methods of delivery, as conceded by “RBH Replacement”,


RECOGNIZING FURTHER the UN’s decision that “Required Basic Healthcare” not be enforced, as per clause 1 of “’RBH’ Replacement” which states, “[t]he resolution “Required Basic Healthcare” is to be no longer enforced by the UN”,


NOTING the possible confusion to member nations over which resolution to enforce given the lack of the ‘repeal mechanic’ at the time of passage for “Required Basic Healthcare” and “RBH Replacement”,


NOTING FURTHER other older, poorly-worded resolutions or sets of resolutions which came about prior to the ability to repeal and CALLING for repeals to all such resolutions in order to clarify the international law imposed on member nations by the UN,


AIMING to make easily understandable the UN’s enforcement regarding healthcare,


DETERMINING it a clerical and technical necessity to repeal “Required Basic Healthcare”, as well as a required measure to elevate the nature of legislation in the UN:


REPEALS “Required Basic Healthcare”.
