Repeal "Metric System "
Description: UN Resolution #24: Metric System (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: COMMENDING the scientific advantages of the metric system,
AGREEING with the importance of facilitating trade among member nations,
NOTING that Resolution #24 'Metric System' calls for the conversion of all measurements, both domestic and international,
QUESTIONING the need to have standardised measurements not being used for trade or science,
ALARMED at the vast and unnecessary cost of converting all measurements, regardless of their use,
BELIEVING that member nations should have the right to choose their own forms of measurement,
OBSERVING that systems of measurement may be as much a part of a nation's culture as language,
CONSIDERING that in light of these flaws there is be no direct international benefit to the forced conversion of domestic measurement units,
REPEALS Resolution #24 "Metric System."
Voting Ends: 00:00 GMT 28 Apr 2007
