You were doing ok up until the last line. It's the same National Sovereignty argument everyone uses, but you did a decent job with it.

However, the last line makes your repeal request illegal. You CAN'T make any requirements in a repeal apart from nullifying the referenced resolution. Despite the fact that you may see it as a toothless and meaningless statement, it does in fact directly contradict Res #48, Save the forests of the World (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=47). It also makes something "compulsatory" (one assumes you meant "compulsory"), and again, you can't do that in a repeal.

Sorry.

A sozzled Sir Albert staggers in..." ere, aren't trees usually quite happy where they are growing already...why replant them?", belches and leaves, confused as ever with the titles around here.....

:hurries into thread, grabs Sir Albert, hoists him over his shoulder, and carries him back to The United Nations Stranger's Bar, where he belongs:
