I would support this if it was't limited to the man's right to have than one wife; i.e. polygamy, but also included polyandry, the woman's right to have more than one husband. As the proposal is worded, I can not give it my support.

I do not support this proposal, simply because it is not a UN issue; Wether men and women have relationships with more than one of the oposite or same sex, is entirely up to them selves.

Marriage is merely a contract, ensuring that when the relationships brake, there are mutual rights to all involved.

If people are freely choosing to engage in such a contract, they should rightfully have that liberty.

I won't support anything, cause no one but the regulars seem often enough to remember to paste up a copy of it here.

I don't think it's their proposal.

But yeah I'm all for polygamy and polyandry.

the term polyamoury has been coined to encompass multiple members of both genders entering into long term intimate commitments to each other.

there are species for whome monogamy is the natural condition

we in carlemnaria do not believe the human species of planet earth to be one of them

we also feel government in any form, has no bussiness dictating the form of families and individual living arraingements.

slightly more then half of all carlemnarians live alone as kind of semi-hermits while of the remainder the vast majority live in what might best be described as interest group households; persons living togather who share one or more common interests (beyond the mere physical gratification of one another's 'erotic lusts').

nearly all adolescent 'children' leave 'home' upon completion of the nine years of lower school that begin at age 3 and complete at age 12, taking their two year intereducational sabatical, known as pujzhush, before entering the nine years of hands on upper school and persuing their personal futures.

this gives them a chance to see and experience real unsheltered life first hand, make and find their own preferances, life style included, and thus enter upper school two years later at age 15, knowing where they want to go with their lives.

there are very few 'devorces' from these group merrages, in which most children grow up and are raised, though there are no barriers or social hangups to leaving them at any time.

nor do those prefering to live alone lack for opportunities for social gratification, often forming close friendships that are maintained for years, but simply prefering to live more of the time alone then a shaired household would permit them.

Polyamory is as stable as other forms of marriage, which is to say, not very.

The major problem is sexual politics: conflicts over money, power, and, lets us say, affection.

National issue. Move along, people.

Regardless of what you name it or who's involved in it, this isn't even remotely close to being the concern of the United Nations. Even if this did have some kind of measureable international scope, it would remain outside the realms of UN policymaking because of the intense moral opinions involved. This is an issue to be decided by each soveriegn nation as they see fit, and to put it into our hands would only lead to more of the constant UN-bashing that we see today. Lets all do ourselves a favor and forget it was ever mentioned.

Sincerely yours,

Since it seemed this suggestion didn't receive enough support to become a proposal, the debate is really inconsequential.

So sorry I can't paste the suggestion (since it is off the list), I wasn't aware that it was recommended. :oops:

i think the one place the u.n. could have come into this had there been such a proposal could/would have be to forbid nations from dictating the forms merrage and family could take. i'm not so sure this would be all that unreasonable, as we feel that to legislate morality is itself an imoral act to dictate what is righfully a matter of PERSONAL conscounscous.

Really this topic is totally unecesary. UN has no right to pass laws relating to religion or morality. Thats up to your nation, not the UN. Move on from this silly little topic and let this pro-polygamy person legalize polygamy in his nation, and then we can all be happy. This debate IS totally incosequential, obviously noone will ratify it. Goodbye
