Resolution Analysis
Overview

This resolution proposal seeks to repeal "Sustainable Forest Management" (GA291). The main issue the repeal cites with this resolution is that the only binding clause is the requirement for nations to submit logging plans to an World Assembly organ, with the remainder of the resolution largely promotional and encouragement based initiatives.

Recommendation

Our main issue is with the proposed replacement resolution from the same author. Regulating forestry is a fairly tricky issue at the international level, because of vast differences in geology, soil conditions, landscape, crop rotation and other conditions. We simply do not see at this stage a satisfactory replacement as anywhere near ready and would prefer to leave the current one in place.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the at-vote GA resolution, "Repeal: "Sustainable Forest Management"".
