What are your opinions on this upcoming General Assembly proposal?

Remember that World Assembly members are free to vote however they want on proposals.


First Responder Protection Act
Proposed by Boftie
First Responder Protection Act
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Boftie


''Medical personnel exclusively engaged in the collection, transport or treatment of the wounded and sick shall be respected and protected in all circumstances.''

The world needs to show more respect and appreciation towards first responders.

ACKNOWLEDGING The great work first responders do around the world.

ACKNOWLEDGING That first responders save lives.

NOTING That first responders is sometimes hindered and therefore unable to do their job correctly. In some cases first responders are being physically abused whilst trying to do their job.

First responders hereby defines ''Ambulance personnel, firefighters, doctors, police officers, first responders, rescue personnel or any other civil defense units''.

Hindering hereby defines ''Verbal abuse, threatening, swearing or intervening with the situation on purpose''

Physical abuse hereby defines ''any act resulting in a nonaccidental physical injury''.


Proposing:
  • That first responders should not be hindered whilst doing their job.

    • Hindering first responders should be seen as an offense.


  • Higher punishments on assaulting first responders who are on duty (i.e. Higher than a regular assault)

    • Perpetrators will be convicted of ''assault'' and ''assault against first responders''.

    • This includes that the perpetrator has to pay any medical costs that may be charged upon the victim.


  • Introducing the HHPF (Help for Humanitarian Personnel Foundation).

    • This includes a global campaign to stop violence against first responders.

I am definitely AGAINST this piece of junk. It is horribly written, and it is trying to fix a problem that does not exist. Why should the punishment for assaulting a doctor, for example, be more severe than the punishment for assaulting someone else, a regular person waiting to cross the street for instance?

Furthermore, this proposal criminalizes swearing against "ambulance personnel, firefighters, doctors, police officers, first responders, rescue personnel or any other civil defense units." So if I accidentally swear against the doctor who is removing a bullet from my arm after I have been shot, I will be charged with so-called "assault against a first responder" under the terms of this proposal. This hardly makes sense.

On a final note, why should there be "a global campaign to stop violence against first responders"? I did not realize that this was a problem. Such a global campaign sounds like a giant waste of money to me.

Morality is the thing that keeps us sane.

This proposal has been removed because the moderators have decided that it violates General Assembly rules. They have ruled that the strength of this proposal should be mild, not significant.
