Worlwide Bill of Rights
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights Strength: Strong Proposed by: Osley
Description: Lately there has been a rize in violence and a steady erotion of the human rights of citizens of certain states. Citizens are being executed or oppressed without fair trials under tye law. So it is withing the spirit of democracy that this Bill of Rights for all human beings is proposed.

1) No human can be imprisioned unconditionaly without charges being pressed, for more than 1 month.

2) No human being can be excecuted or robed of his/her right to life without a fair trial by a jury of their peers.

3) No State shall make any laws limiting or eliminating the private rights of an individual to enjoy their personal property.

4)No person under the age of 18, or anyone found to be mentally-handicaped, can be executed if found guilty of a capital crime.

5) All humans are entitled to the four basic rights: Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.

Without these rights, thousands of human beings shall continue to be unfairly persecuted and oppressed. So it is with a spirit of Justice and Democracy that the Constitutional Monarchy of Osley proposes this Bill of Human Rights


Please go to UN proposal page and on PG 14 you will find this proposal. Vote for it if you agree with it

Server's in fine form...

Very nice but for the following points (amongst others):

1) We already have a Bill of Rights and this in its current form is not an improvement on it.

2) If you'd posted a draft first, we could have tweaked this for spelling, grammar,etc.

3) In some states, individual citizens do not and cannot own land and it is not the UN's duty, I believe, to interfere with a nation's property rights.

4) I personally don't appreciate forum headings in capitals telling me that I must read something because it's 'extremely important'. I'm not trying to be rough with you here, just pointing out that yours isn't the only important thread around.
