Hello there , I am writing in this forum today to divert your attention to my new proposal "Right to Protest". It reads as follows.

"It is the suggestion of me and my government that every citizen in a U.N nation to be free to protest peacefully against whatever issue they choose.

The main word here is peacefully , naturally it will not be permitted to see to see protesters harming anyone else. This soloution will hardly bring down governments or cause world-wide disruption.

It is simply a way for the people to broadcast their opinions , of course a government is not forced to listen."


If you feel that this is a just cause and agree with it I beg for your support, if you are a regional UN delegate then please help it achieve quorum. If you are a UN member then please inform your regional delegate of your support for our proposal.

I Thank you for your time and wish you all the best for the future.
Any questions or comments please feel free to telegram me.

While we of Sofa King Country agree in principle with the right to protest, we also acknlowdge the rights of others nations to limit this right. This is not something for the UN to decide, and as such it cannot be allowed to be put to a vote.

This is right. It is up to the ruler of the nation to decide what will happen to protestors.

Catholic Europe agrees with the principle of protest, but how would we maintain that it stays peaceful?! That would be very hard.

The Rogue Nation of Greenspoint recognizes the people's right to voice their opinion.

This proposal does not define a level of 'peaceful'ness that is allowed, nor does it address possible levels of response by the national government.

As it's written, were it to pass a vote, we wouldn't see anything to prevent us from defining a 'peaceful protest' as one where no protester may speak nor display any signs, nor even congregate in groups of more than 3 persons, and if these conditions are violated, hosing the whole group with machine guns to put down the 'riotous crowd'.

On the basis of this, we'd find it most difficult to support the proposal.

i support it, unless you want to people to attack riot police??? :?

My apologies, your Imperial Highness, but I am uncertain if this question is directed specifically to me, and if so, exactly what it is you're asking.

The position of my government is, that while we agree in principle with the sentiment of the proposal, it lacks certain definition which we feel would be necessary to make it a viable Resolution.

Until/Unless such definition is added, we cannot support it.

Why do you want the right to protest ? can't you make a point without protesting ?

In many cases, no. A strike is such an example. Strikes only go ahead if all other means fail.

Istahan would support such a resolution, were it to come to quorum.

I can't see a reason for a strike. The only strikes I've seen are from people who want more money. If they want more money they can work for another company. If this passes, people will protest because the coffee is too cold. Or too hot. Or whatever. What will happen to productivity then ? Anyway, as I've said.. I can't see a valid reason to strike.

What about "peacefully" blocking access to a factory or school or public building? Would that be allowed?
