The DRA will not support any resolution which allows or promotes slavery.

I refer you to UN resolution #6 "End Slavery"
End slavery
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Monocerous
Description: The scourge of slavery yet remains in these progressive times. People are bought and sold like cattle, unable to determine their destiny. Their families are split apart; they are allowed no possessions of their own. They are beaten, chained, and tortured.
Therefore, I propose that the following human rights be given to every peoples of this great world:
- The right to leave her or his job, given two weeks' notice.
- The right to own possessions.
- The right to travel freely throughout their country.
- The right to bodily safety from one's employer.
- The outlawing of the selling or purchasing of people.

Ignoring the illegality of this, what about the extreme violations of human rights it presents?

Agree with the Resolution. However:
unable to determine their destiny
Honestly, we should demand better than this. Repeal and replace with that sentence omitted.
Maybe we should purge passed resolutions covered by the human rights resolution. Or at least state they are passed but not operative: Superceded by Human Rights Initiative, placed atop the resolution in bold type.

This is an illegal proposal; the resolution outlawing slavery needs to be repealed before you can submit this.
