After a debate in the UN forum and moderator approval the proposal 'The Sexes Rights Act' has been submitted. Please read the text bellow and if you like it; either endorse it or request your delegate does.


The Sexes Rights Act
Category: Human Rights Strength: Significant Proposed by: The Black New World

The United Nations notes with sorrow the precedent in history and contemporary times where male dominated cultures infringe upon the rights of women. The following document is intended to both relieve and resolve much of these discriminative actions, not for one sex, but for all.

The 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.

Deplores : The intimidation of one sex or more by another or others. Whether that sex is chosen or by birth.

Is Deeply Disturbed By : Government encouraged segregation of the sexes and suppression based on sex.

Does Formally Recognise and Declare : That the rights of all sexes are equal and that this equality must be preserved in the interests of the rights of all citizens of Nation States United Nation member states.

RESOLVES :

1. The Nation States United Nations does legalise divorce, in all member states, for people in an abusive marriage.

2. The Nation States United Nations calls upon all employers within member-states to provide equal chance at employment/ranking 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. No UN member nation shall bar illustrations of internal or external genitalia when such illustrations are used for educational or informative purposes including those that are deemed 'unnecessary' for reproduction and/or offensive.

4. Cosmetic surgery on genitalia at birth because a child's genital does not conform to what a nation believes as 'normal' for that sex is hereby prohibited in all UN member nations.

5. The practice of infanticide based only on the sex of the baby, or the ambiguity of sex, shall be prohibited in all UN member nations.

6. Religious organisations, vocations were you are required to play a role (eg actors), and jobs passed down ancestrally are exempt from clause 2b.


The sister proposal 'The Sexes Rights Law' should be submitted shortly. Please consider your support for that too.

This, along with Komokom's proposal, are two of the best proposals I've seen submitted in the past month!

Congratulations, to both of you, on a job well done!

It has my support until the very end.

Hurrah! Sensible proposals!
I would ask my delegate to endorse them, were it not for the fact that Des was involved in writing them, and as such is quite likely aware of them.

Bloodfetish supports The Sexes Rights ... however, is still new to the UN, and unsure of the procedure of endorsing this act.

Thank you for your offer.

Only a delegate can approve a proposal. Your region doesn’t have a delegate so you cant ask them for support.

If it reaches quorum you can vote to make it a resolution.

I don't think we are going to get all the support necessary this time but I'm still campaigning. As it stands now 'Law' has more support.

A few people we have contacted have commented that it really only should be one. For anyone who missed the earlier discussion; it can't be.

Someone has complained about spelling. I can't tell so if you notice anything please point it out to me.

We have also received concerns over our defence of 'homosexuality' and 'mental sex'. The United Nations has already made decisions about same-sex relationships. The proposal doesn’t make much mention of transgender people only to say that just because they 'chose' their sex doesn’t mean they forfeit rights. People may be confusing the term 'intersex', I urge them to view this link

We have also received comments that shall not be repeated.
