The World Assembly,

Acknowledging the efforts of the target resolution, Consular Rights, to mandate requirements for diplomatic assistance to citizens abroad;

Noting however that following the passage of GAR 695, Dual Citizenship Arrangements, and GAR 703, Consular Protection Arrangements, as well as other citizenship related resolutions such as GARs 386, 552 and 686, the rights and responsibilities of diplomatic missions abroad to help their citizens, if such help is required, have been expanded considerably beyond the scope of the target resolution;

Further noting that, as a result, the target is serving no substantive material purpose in protecting the rights of citizens abroad not already detailed elsewhere;
