[PASSED] Repeal: “Civilian Air Compact”

General Assembly Resolution #752 “Civilian Air Compact” (Category: International Security; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Appreciating that sensible rules and regulations surrounding the flight and flight plans of civilian aircraft are often needed, and GA 752 “Civilian Air Compact” seeks to institute these sensible protocols, and

Believing that the Civilian Air Compact overreaches in its authority to institute those protocols, giving a much greater burden to members of this Assembly than is needed to maintain the security of passengers aboard civilian aircrafts, and

Concerned, for example, that clause (vi) gives pilots of all aircraft an unreasonable amount of power over their flight plan, which for military aviators may undermine the chain of command and give a low-level pilot flying in a combat zone the protected authority to comply with their enemies, since the clause applies to all aircraft instead of just civilian aircraft, and

Distressed at clause (i), which requires all civilian aircraft to be tracked, even those which do not enter the airspace of any member, to be tracked, which proves a needless regulation for aircraft in large pockets of non-members flying locally to be tracked, despite the fact that there is no incentive or reason for this tracking, and

Believing that the requirement for members to establish vehicular fleets to rescue survivors of aircraft crashes outside their borders is admirable, but still harmful to members tight on cash who have to supply their own resources to nearby nations who may not even be fellow members of this Assembly, and

Hoping that any future attempts to regulate civilian aircraft to do so with a more precise scalpel, reducing burden on members while still establishing sensible regulations, therefore

Repeals GA 752 “Civilian Air Compact”.
