This proposal was submitted last night, and it reached quorum about 40 minutes ago. The vote will begin in 10 minutes.

Non-interference in Elections
Proposed by Bananaistan
Non-interference in Elections
Category: Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Bananaistan


The General Assembly

Acknowledging the great strides made by this body and individual member states in furthering democracy,

Noting that it is not within the power of this body to extend the right to vote to citizens of all member states,

However concerned that any further WA legislation regarding elections will discourage further democratisation,

Also noting the indivisible right of sovereign nations to choose their own form of government,

And wishing to establish a method by which international election monitors can review and report upon a member state’s elections to further encourage dialogue and commerce between member states,

Hereby

1) Mandates that no member state may directly interfere with another member state’s elections unless requested by the subject member state,

2) Expands the role of the Organization for Electoral Assistance to:

(a) Establish a methodology on certification of elections and electoral systems based upon how free, fair, transparent and regular the elections and electoral systems are,

(b) Upon the request of the government of a member state, to monitor that member state’s election(s) and electoral process, and to certify the election(s) and electoral system pursuant to the criteria above,

3) Reserves to individual member states, within the requirements of existing international law, the power to create, implement, amend and repeal electoral laws, rules, regulations and guidelines regarding elections held within member states.

I disagree wholeheartedly. The stated purpose of this author is to block proposals like the disability rights resolution that the General Assembly overwhelmingly approved earlier this year.

Against.

Absolutely, and I agree with this goal wholeheartedly. Non-democratic regimes absolutely should not sit in judgment of the systems used in democratic countries.
