Zeusbut not complying with "The Sexes Rights Law"

Wehave recived complaints that we are not complying with "The Sexes Rights Law". We feel that allegation is unjust and would like to bring the issue before the UN.

"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."

This is a statement and not really part of the law.

"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 : Gay Rights, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Sat May 3 2003."

Another statment as all it does is point at other laws. It adds nothing new.

"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."

We understand that the UN "greatly encourage"'s this, however we do not have wellfare. As such this would disrupt our society.
We have chosen not to follow this part as it is only encouraged. Not required.

"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."

This starts out as a requirement, but later is changed into a "recommendation". Please note "The above conditions are recommendations"
We have chosen to allow current laws to stay unchanged. Not that it means much as for the most part this follows current Zeusbut laws.

"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."

This is meaningless unless said country has laws against a charity doing this. We do not, so no change is needed.

"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."

This clause makes clause 3 into a recommendation. Still we have no laws against 3, so of course we have no laws against 4.

"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."

We have no problem with this clause and already have laws to this effect.


Assuming no response from the UN we will assume that the UN agree's with us and will go one as we current are. (Read no changes in our laws)

What did those alleging that you broke the law say you did wrong?

First was clause 1.

We have not set up the centers and they claim we must.

Clause 2 is also a problem.
In our laws we do allow diffrent wages for jobs that are best served by 1 class of person then another.

Such as in the case of a strip club, there tends to be only 1 sex as the performers.


Clause 3.

We do not have any laws protecting such charitys. As it stands we simply have no laws about what a charity can or can not do. (You should see some of the racist charitys we have:( )

Well I'd say they're wrong. None of those clauses appear to mandate anything, and in fact clause 2 is about who gets paid what, not who gets the job in first place - additionally, it says courts may decide if equality is reasonable as long as the courts act fairly. So IMO, you're not violating this resolution.

I concur. It does not appear that you are violating this resolution.

I don't see Zeusbut breaking the law as set by the resolution. But I do see opportunity for them to comply as best as possible to it ...
