GA resolution Repeal "Right of Emigration"


General Assembly Vote Recommendation

Part of the Information for WA Voters program

Resolution at Vote: Repeal "Right of Emigration"
Vote Recommendation: No Recommendation

Ministry Review
Written by Sil Dorsett
The "Right of Emigration" resolution was well intended to prevent governments from trapping their residents within their borders, but was very broad in its approach, using a wide-reaching mandate with limited exceptions rather than a narrow and focused mandate that specifically targeted despotic dictators. "Right of Emigration" does not consider every possible reason why a person may want to leave their country, or why a government would have reason to compel a person to stay.

However, the author of the repeal has stated that there are no plans to replace the target resolution, and would try to repeal any successful attempt at a replacement. The repeal is also based on a lack of exceptions for attempts to avoid the effects of civil judgments, even though a failure to abide by civil judgments in most cases is a crime, which is covered in the existing resolution. The repeal also mentions the need to maintain adequate labor for war industries, but ignores the more fundamental right of civilians to preserve their lives.

Voting for the repeal of "Right of Emigration" returns the full responsibility of outbound border control law to individual states, while voting against the repeal retains the World Assembly's version of outbound border control which, except for very rare and specific instances, covers most cases in which a person's right to emigrate would be suspended, but otherwise guarantees it.
