The Right to Defy

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Our Own Laziness
Description: Everyone deserves a voice. No one shall be denied the right to speak their mind. Too many have been jailed, tortured or killed based solely on their political and ideological views. With the passing of this proposal the nations of the UN shall resolve to:

1)FREE all political prisoners whose only crime was speaking their mind.

2)NEVER prosecute a person for speaking out against their government.

3)GIVE its citizens the right to revolt if they are not content with their government.

You've got my UN nation's approval... have had it for a while. When it expires, re-submit it and go on an active campaign to promote it among delegates.

BUMP

I will resubmit this but in the mean time I suggest all people look up Mumia Abu-Jamal and Victor Jara, two legends in the fight against oppression.
