UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION #137
Repeal "Save the forests of the World"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution.

Category: Repeal Resolution: #48 Proposed By: Fonzoland

Description: UN Resolution #48: Save the forests of the World (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Woodchipping) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.


Argument: The General Assembly of the United Nations,


COMMENDING the assumed intentions of Resolution #48, “Save the forests of the World”;


DEEPLY COMMITTED to guaranteeing the sustainability of the world ecosystem, namely by the preservation of forests; yet


REGRETTING the confusing, discursive and unconstructive nature of said Resolution;


NOTING that it does not mandate or recommend any course of action to further the cause of sustainability, rendering it ineffective;


ACKNOWLEDGING the clear overlap between the assumed intentions of its author and the mandate of Resolution #23, “Replanting Trees”; and


DECLARING that ambiguous and ineffective legislation threatens the credibility of the UN, especially when in duplication of previous legislation;


REPEALS Resolution #48.
