I think cumpulsary sports before and after school is a must for a nation to keep fit and healthy.

How does a proposal for a law like this sound?

We are against the government forcing children to do things out of school hours.

Again, a proposal fails to demonstrate that the issue is of international importance. The United Nations has far more important things to worry about than if children play sports or not.

The Council of Enn cannot support this measure. Compulsory sport only leaves unwilling children with a deep dislike of anything physical.

It sounds much more like a potential issue than a potential resolution.

Undemocratic. Period/Full Stop.

Your forcing children to do sports? Not all children like sports. If they want to be unfit, fine let them be unfit. Children love freedom and this is a clear violation of it.

The Holy Republic of Seriphyn will not endorse this proposal.

Definitely a national issue. There are other ways to encourage children to be fit and healthy than through competitive sports.

If parents want to force their kids to play sports - while some might disagree - that's a parental right. The UN has no right forcing children to play sports or do physical education, for that matter, if the parents and education system of a given nation do not want to do so.
