On behalf of the current parliament of The Annexed States of Kryozerkia and Prime Minister Zekia, our UN representative and regional delegate, Lady Zeke McKinely, has put this proposal before the UN delegation.
She bides that if your country is the delegate and UN rep for your region that you sanction this proposal.
It has posted here in the hopes of getting the attention of many.
Free the Arts
Description: Too often there are people who are not enlightened and are uncultured and confined to the restrictions of their little rose-glass coloured world and are not aware of the beauty around them in the form of creative art, be it dance, drama, music, visual art and/or literature. There is also the inverse of this, which is there are people seek to censor and restriction the arts and the distribution thereof.
Wherein freedom of expression is a right;
Wherein art is a form of expression;
Wherein censorship infringes upon the right to freedom of art and expression;
Whereas art has always been around as a form of expression and communication, we hereby propose that all art shall henceforth be freed from the vice of oppression.
1. No one person shall be censored because their ideas are not in tune with the cultural and/or religious mentality of a certain group.
2. No one person shall be denied the right to freedom of expression through art as a media.
3. No one person shall be expected to censor his or her art because it is not 'appropriate'.
4. No one shall censor art; they may rate it and decide if it is appropriate for younger audiences under the legal age of universal sufferage.
5. No one government shall stifle the arts; they shall provide a small portion of the government's budget to the growth of the arts and shall support the industry.
She bides that if your country is the delegate and UN rep for your region that you sanction this proposal.
