Vote Against GA resolution Repeal: "Asbestos Consumption, Disposal And Worker Protection"
Vote Recommendation: Against
Resolution Analysis
Overview
This proposal seeks to repeal GAR #435, "Asbestos Consumption, Disposal And Worker Protection", owing to the author's contention that it is disproportionately harmful towards the development aspirations of less technologically and logistically advanced member states, leads to needlessly prolonged deconstruction processes for asbestos-containing structures, leads to "mass homelessness, mass unemployment, and general economic ruin" for nations that rely on asbestos in building construction, and that the failure to provide "clear requirements" for the testing of asbestos in structures significantly increases the risk of non-compliance with impunity.
Recommendation
While we are sympathetic to the plight of asbestos-reliant developing nations, we cannot countenance the continued use of an objectively unsafe building material that leads to prolonged, torturous illness and death for scores of individuals exposed to asbestos either directly or indirectly via its continued structural use. Furthermore, we are unconvinced that the target Resolution's prohibition on the marketing and production of asbestos is necessarily applicable to already-constructed rooms and building. To be frank, we do not agree with the author's opinion regarding the threat posed by asbestos to human and environmental safety- in our view, when more structures contain asbestos, the greater the risk is to the general public.
For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the General Assembly Resolution at vote, Repeal: "Asbestos Consumption, Disposal And Worker Protection".
