Description: The World Assembly,

Acknowledging the transportation of civilians via air travel is not only vital to the international economy, but to the international community as a whole;

Realizing that command and control, and communication with civilian aircraft is vital to ensure the safety and security of those aircraft, particularly when those aircraft are in international airspace;

Concerned that some nations may intentionally avoid tracking or communicating with civilian aircraft originating from nations potentially hostile to them;

Believing it is the duty of all nations to protect the lives of innocent civilians no matter the current state of diplomacy between nations;

Thus resolving to enact a sensible policy that allows for the safe and secure operation of civilian aircraft, no matter the nation of origin;

The General Assembly hereby,

1. Defines a civilian aircraft as an aircraft whether private or commercial not operating under the direction of a nation's military or engaging in national security-related activities;

2. Requires member nations to provide at the minimum:

A. Tracking and communication of any civilian aircraft within the detection and communication range of that nation,

B. Meteorological information and inclement emergency warnings to civilian aircraft, and,

C. Assistance to any civilian aircraft that declares itself to be in distress within the communication range of that nation;

3. Urges member nations to ensure adequate security personnel are present on any civilian aircraft which is operating in or out of nations currently engaged in armed conflict, or where a credible threat to those aircraft is present;

4. Forbids member nations from taking military action against civilian aircraft without first warning that aircraft and permitting that aircraft to comply with instructions;

5. Confirming that nations shall have the sole sovereign rights and responsibilities to ensure pilots and crews are adequately trained and certified in the operation of their civilian aircraft;

6. Leaves to the individual member state all authority regarding regulations pertaining to equipment or training in regards to the operation of civilian aircraft.

I don't like the very broad blocker in clauses 5 and 6. When I asked the author about it (following him contacting me first for support), he gave a non-answer answer.

Against.

For.

I think this is a reasonably well-written proposal on a legitimate issue of international concern.

For. Not that it will make much of a difference though, as this thread has become meaningless as guy doesn't vote according to it anyway.

The forum discussion is by far the single most determinative factor in how I vote. My policy is the same as in my previous Delegacy, which is to attempt to form a regional consensus through discussion. If you wish, I'll quote you my post saying that from four years ago.

(That, by the way, means that vote-only, or posts that do not respond to other posts, will have a far lesser weight.)

Vote withdrawn.
