In this chamber we hear a lot about gay rights. However, I think it is important to note that the UN has already taken a stance on this important issue.

Gay Rights

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Kundu

Description: WHEREAS it has been clearly witnessed there is an outspoken minority who wish to oppress gays. We, the People's Republic of Kundu and the other peoples of the world wishing for the preservation of freedom and the respect of all hereby resolve that all member nations of the United Nations must pass laws protecting people from discrimination in all parts of life. We also resolve that gay marriages be protected and endorsed by law in the member nations.

Votes Against: 7734

Implemented: Sat May 3 2003

The UN has already made its position in support of gay rights clear. Therefore, we feel that further debate on this issue, while perhaps enlightening, is rather pointless. Submitting proposals with a similar effect is also superflous and only serves to annoy delegates.

Thank you for listening. I yield the floor.
