If you need to reinstate a repealed resolution can you repeal the repeal that was passed?

And how do you become a UN delegate?

1. No
2. Have more endorsements than any one else in your region.

No you have to write a new one!

You start a telegramming campaign in your region giving people godd reasons to endorse you. This should get you alot of the way there, remember to be polite and don't forget that you can always move to another region where you will fit in.

To expand a bit on "no" ...

The only way to submit a repeal is to click the [Repeal this Resolution] link at the bottom of each resolution (when viewed by any UN member with two or more endorsements). Passed repeals and repealed resolutions don't have this link, and therefore can't be further altered.

Technically, you can't unrepeal a Resolution, but you can write a replacement Resolution (like Groot Gouda did with the "Sex Industry Workers' Act", the replacement for the "Legalise prostitution" Resolution"). All you'd have to do is write a completely new Resolution that brings back what was Repealed, bearing in mind why it was Repealed in the first place.

yes, there are some good reasons why some resolutions are repealed. if the repeal is based on redundancy, such as education for all that was repealed recently, dont even bother writing a new one, as it is already covered

That technically is the only "unrepealable" Repeal, but I think if "Free Education For All" was introduced today it would get struck down as redundant by the moderators.

The others are still fair game. Hey, as weird as it may sounds, someone could theoretically write a Resolution that brings back "Fight The Axis Of Evil". It just has to be good enough that people would want to vote it in- it's highly unlikely but possible.

thats what i meant. if a resolution is surpassed by another resolution, and gets repealed based on that, then there is no point writing a proposal to bring it back in. as for the 'fight the axis of evil' that notion is so full of scare tactics it aint funny. it basically means you can deem a state to be holding terrorists and can declear war on it. makes you wonder who the real terrorists are.....

That is true- I doubt a "Fight The Axis Of Evil" would ever get passed again. However, hypothetically it's possible, since Repeals don't enact the opposite of the Resoultion but simply strike it from the records. Thus, the door is always open for a rewritten version, like what happened to the Prostitution Resolution.
