I have submitted a proposal to the UN, called the 'Freedom of Conscience Act,' which would require a two-thirds majority to pass any resolution which restricts the private (non-commercial) behavior of consenting adults. This proposal makes exceptions for behaviors which might impact another nation's economy, environment, or security, or for behaviors which violate another person's rights.
Basically, I think that in order to protect the cultural, behavioral, and ideological diversity of all UN member states, from Libertarians to Theocrats, the bar must be raised on resolutions which would tell adults how they may behave in their own nations and homes.
This proposal has a narrow focus, but one that will help UN member states participate in the international community without sacrificing their individuality.
