Repeal: “Museums of Musical Heritage” 17/06/2023

General Assembly Resolution #86 “Museums of Musical Heritage” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Whereas the efforts to catalog music of local, national, and international importance set out by General Assembly Resolution #86, “Museums of Musical Heritage”, have now been in place for over a decade,

And whereas the target has no binding clauses, only suggesting that nations and entities within nations contribute music,

And whereas having no mandates makes the resolution toothless, as any entity trying to destroy culture by prohibiting music can simply not allow the donation of relevant materials,

And whereas the resolution fails to properly address access to the musical museums themselves, instead suggesting the dissemination of the database, which falls short in the preservation of these heritage artifacts, which may still be readily withheld from public knowledge,

And whereas the manner in which the resolution attempts to accomplish its goals is largely inefficient, with the creation of two bureaucratic entities in order to accomplish its goals, wasting the precious resources this assembly has on a process that is largely unnecessary in order to truly preserve musical heritage, and that this inefficiency prevents further funding into other subject areas, including fundamental human rights and safety mandates,

And whereas any resolution that simultaneously does not accomplish its goals and prevents the World Assembly from achieving its more pertinent tasks does not deserve to stay on the books,

Therefore, be it resolved by the World Assembly that General Assembly Resolution #86, “Museums of Musical Heritage”, is repealed.
