CURRENTLY IN DRAFT

Now in FINAL form.

NOW PREPARING TO GO GOLD WITH THIS.

The results of the split will be posted in here for futher consideration. These are the two seperate parts of the original to avoid the problem of it covering both Social Justice and Human rights. I'll be doing the Social Justice one, The Black New World will be handling the Human Rights one.

Actually, we might put the other in a seperate thread to keep things simple.

Here is Sexes Rights relating to Social Justice

* Catagories are obvious for each of course, strength is yet to be decided, but probably sorted out by tonight or the week-end, I just discovered several tons of pre-work I should do in the next 24 hours ... and my being on the other side of the world from The Black New World introduces the entire time zones problem ... stupid green-wich meridian ...

Description : The United Nations notes with much sorrow the precedent in both distant and recent history, as well as contemporary times, where cultures dominated by one or more sexes infringe upon the rights of one or more other sexes. The following document is intended to both relieve and resolve much of these discriminative actions, not for one sex, but for all, acting in the interests of promoting equality in all society and eliminating gender bias from said society at large.

The United Nations :

Is Deeply Disturbed By : The possibility or action of the with-holding of citizenship and ethnicity-recognition based on the sex of a individual or collective of other-ethnic origins or of origin within the borders of a nation state.

Does Formally Recognise and Declare : That the rights of all sexes in society are equal, excepting only in the conditions below and that this equality must be preserved in the interests of the social and community rights of all citizens of Nation States United Nation member states.

Thus the Nation States United Nations :

Re-affirms and Re-states : Article 4 of The Universal Bill of Rights, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Fri Aug 8 2003.

Re-affirms and Re-states : Article 5 of Universal Freedom of Choice, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Fri Mar 26 2004.

Re-affirms and Re-states : End slavery, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Tue Jan 21 2003.

Re-affirms and Re-states : Gay Rights, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Sat May 3 2003.

RESOLVES :

1. The Nation States United Nations does here-by greatly encourage each member state to establish a minimum of one centre for each sex in their borders, in which people of the sex of the respective designated centre could seek shelter, medical care, and counselling for both themselves and their children or other dependants if they should find themselves without a home or shelter or reasonable support or care, due to any sexually motivated violence or discrimination from the home or work-place, or from such violence or lack of care stemming from society at large. These centres must be sensitive and cater to the needs of intersex people.

2. The Nation States United Nations calls upon all employers within member-states to abide by the following regulations :

a) Equal wages for all sexes.
b) Equal benefits for all sexes.

The above conditions are recommendations applicable within reason in that they are open to interpretation by a member states legal system in regards to each individual case, under the condition that the legal system must act in an un-biased fashion in regard to these cases.

3. The Nation States United Nations does applaud and protect the actions of any charity based organisation that is dedicated to furthering the education of any and all sexes in countries where one or more sex may not given an equal chance at attaining an education in a society.

4. Said protection in clause 3 is to be considered symbolistic in nature, and this protection of said charity organisations is conditional in that they may only provide opportunity for equality, they may not raise one sex or sexes above another or others. Such would be contrary to the spirit of the legislation and is not encouraged.

5. The Nation States United Nations recognises that gender is not just a physical manifestation but also a mental manifestation, and recognises that people of self proclaimed gender are also equally protected by the regulations and recommendations bound here in.

Well, as you can see, this is a bit more Social Justice, and and possible Human Rights bits have been left in or placed in so as only to increase effective-ness of the legislation above, I think.

NOW CLOSED TO NON-MOD COMMENT., preparing to send in.

* Spell check done. For late night typing, I was amazingly accurate in both grammar and spelling. Shock + horror ... ;)

* Thanks again Cog, :D

I like it, but if I could suggest any changes it would come here:

3. The Nation States United Nations does applaud and protect the actions of any charity based organisation that is dedicated to furthering the education of any and all sexes in countries where one or more sex may not given an equal chance at attaining an education in a society.

There should be a clause stating that they are protected as long as they are just balancing the sexes and not making one overtake the other. It would be counter-productive if an organization countinued to have protection after they become so strong that the balance tips the opposite way.

I see your point, I initially figured that the charity organisations would only exist as long as they could educate those discriminated against, as long as those discriminated against are discriminated against ... But I see what you mean, I'll edit later when I get more time + any more comments build up.

EDIT : Done.

Clauses 2a and 2c address income inequality and are more properly "Social Justice". These will have to be split off into another proposal. Clause 3 addresses charitable organizations and should be "Social Justice". Clause 4, which puts stipulations on Clause 3, would also have to go.

Clauses 2b and 5 address equal employment opportunities, which are civil rights. They can stay in this proposal (which I assume is "Human Rights").

Okay, I'm dumb. This topic is about "Social Justice", the other (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=345932) topic is about "Human Rights".

Okay, then, give me a moment to read both topics.


Okay, upon rereading both proposals carefully, I've come to the following conclusions:

Clause 1: Establishing shelters is an act of charity. Thus, this is "Social Justice".

Clause 2: (a) and (c) address income inequality, so these are "Social Justice". (b) addresses equal employment opportunities, a civil right, so this is "Human Rights".

Clauses 3 and 4: These address charitable organizations, and are "Social Justice".

Caluse 5: This lists exemptions to Clause 2b and should therefore go with caluse 2b into the "Human Rights" proposal.

Clause 6: This sounds rather general, so it can stay in this proposal.

Thank you. All changes have been made to my half of the proposal. I guess we are going to have to wait until tomorrow for Komokom.
