I have written a proposal to repeal "The Global Library" because of the costs of holographic technology, but require support for this proposal in order to repeal then replace "The Global Library" with one that does not rely on holographic technology. Please support this proposal (especially Regional Delegates), because as of now it needs many more approvals to go to a vote:
Description: UN Resolution #86: The Global Library (Category: The Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: Realizing the good intentions and benefits to "The Global Library," this resolution should be repealed for the following reasons:
1. The holographic technology required to execute this resolution does not exist as of yet, and would require enormous costs to develop, which could be better spent on healthcare, education or aid to countries affected by ntural disasters, such as the tsunami.
2. Even if holographic technology were developed, the sheer costs of producing holographic wristbands and shipping them free of charge to all users of the Global Library are much too high, especially for poorer nations.
3. With the growing number of people with internet access, it would be much cheaper and more efficient to create a "Global Internet Library" that can be accessed by anyone via the internet, which is a widespread, proven technology.
Although this resolution is well intentioned and beneficial to society, it should be repealed due to the immense costs involved with holographic technology, and replaced by another resolution to create a Global Library that does not rely on expensive holographic technology that does not exist yet.
