The Holy Republic believes that the prostitution resolution can only be reversed through a co-ordinated approch, one where we all work together to compose a counter-proposal.

We believe the prostitution resolution is flawed because of the following:

1. It fails to recognise that prostitution can be damaging to the 'supplier'.

2. It gives people the right to buy sex, simple as that.

3. The ruling forces UN nations to make prostitution totally legal, without allowing for any flexibility from nation states.

4. Through economic situations, the poor and vulnerable are likely to turn to prostitution as an easy way out rather than consider education or another profession.

We feel that a bill on prostitution must state:

1. That nation states should have a say in determining the legal status of prostitution, giving nations the right to keep prostitution illegal if the people vote to do so via a referendum.

2. That all nations recognise the existance of prostitution in society and that they should endeaver to provide support for those trapped in prostitution.

3. That most people undertake prostitution out of desperation, that most people use prostitutes to take advantage of that desperation.

We realise that other nations may disagree with the points raised and may wish to suggest alternative, or additional, statements for a possible proposal.

We welcome this feedback, since we feel a democratic UN thrives on open debate.

Thank you for your time.

Ha ha...

No.

To get a majority you only need the stupidest 51% of the population on your side. The UN here is a perfect example. I'd hardly call that democratic.

To answer Gigglealia, your country's opposition to the UN has taken a turn for the bitter and spiteful of late. We hope that you can work constructively to aid the correct course of the UN, instead of working to impede and undermine it.

To this proposal,
The legality of prostitution does not preclude programs to assist peope who are trapped in the cycle, nor does it condone its existence. Instead, this proposal can be interpreted to mean that, rather than seeking to punish prosititutes and end prostitution with force, nations can devote more resources towards fixing the social problems that cause it.

Illaria does not support the actual proposal, nor do we believe that it was well passed. However, in light of the reality of its passing, we feel that it is necessary to make the best of what we have and move on, seeking to climb higher.

I will not only work to impede and undermine stupid decisions but am seeking others willing to follow in my footsteps. Gigglealia is not alone in this. The UN is rubbish, to be ignored or impeded at our discretion.

The Confederacy of Koishitau, though a relatively new nation, has been thinking long and hard about this situation. While we see that the nations in the UN may indeed be divided about the bill passed on prostitution, we would like to point out that the current disputes over the legalization of prostitution show that the UN nations are unwilling to work together.

As suggested by Illaria, there is nothing to stop any Nation constructing further laws around the UN bill. We, for instance, have accepted that Prostitiution is now legal and as such have arranged for construction of a Union, pension scheme and other work related benifits for women who are in this employment. In relation to our other laws, which were already in place, there now must be places of work, which can be inspected by our health and safety officials, and there is now a minimum working age which we can enforce.

While we understand that there are members of our society who will now believe they are allowed to abuse the working ladies, it is our belief that making prostitution legal will allow our legal system to incorporate a structure of regulations. These regulations will indicate practical limitations on what can be viewed as excessive actions on the part of the client or prostitute, and as such will give the people involved more legal security as well.

Isn't it sexist to say Lady and Women when its guys and men too?
Remember men can be trapped in that cycle too.

The Holy Republic concedes that finding common ground on this issue is not likely.

We also wish to repeat our belief that a democratic UN thrives on open debate, a well informed populace who are given the chance to discuss and debate the issues will enhance the democratic principles of the UN.

Perhaps a counter proposal on prostiution won't be a realistic option.

Instead we as nations must do all we can to prevent people from choosing prostitution out of economic desperation, to protect people from going down that path simply because they see no other options.

We must ensure there ARE other options!
