We here by propose to the United Nations the repeal of resolution #7 [Sexual Freedom] and resolution #12 [Gay Rights] and to create a fully defined resolution seperating homoosexual unions as an institution in itself and heterosexual unions as an institution in itself and proposing specific legal, emotional and sexual protections for homosexuals.

We urge all delegates to vote.


This resolution sets out as it's objective to internationally and universally recognise the rights of human beings to classify themselves and participate in, equally and without let or hindrance legal, emotional and sexual relationships with members of the same sex.

This resolution is set in three parts:

Legal Rights:

This resolution rejects the concept [in accordance with repealing of Resoution #12] of homosexual marriage and accepts the religious implications of [the concept] of marriage.

1) That civil licenses be granted to all those who wish to officially [in the eyes of all laws and its authority] unionise their relationship; and that this union afford the couple the same protections in official status as heterosexual marriage:

a) The union will create equal property rights
b) The union will create equal inheritance rights
c) The union will create equal medical rights concerning illness and death

2) A Civil licence will allow the union the right to claim benefits both from the government and employers as a unionised couple without prejudice or discrimination based on that union.

3) That all nations recognise the legality of such a union regardless of prejudice or individual attitudes.

4) All nations agree by the signing of this resolution that discrimination based on sexual orientation is wrong and will equalise all employment and charity status laws to include the protection of homosexuals at the workplace and in society

5) That schools must provide a specific anti-homophobia policy for the protection of homosexual teenagers.

Emotional Rights:

1) All nations agree by the signing of this resolution the legitimacy of same sex relationships and unions.

2) All nations agree by the signing of this resolution that homosexuality exists as a fact and therefore must be condoned as an individual choice or lifestyle.

3) That schools must provide a service to protect the emotions and actions of all teenagers regardless of sexuality.

Sexual Rights:

1) All nations must abolish laws which discriminate based on homosexual practices

2) All nations agree by the signing of this resolution to lower the age of consent to an equal footing of heterosexual relationships.

3) That sexual education in schools must allow for equal discussion, information and guidance for homosexuality as heterosexuality

This resolution attempts to bind in peace and equality differences between humans and endeavours to secure the right of ALL human beings in life, liberty and fraternity.

this will get deleted.

You can't write a repeal an blend it with a new resolution. Plus you cannot repeal two resolutions at once.

Otherwise.....I totally disagree with This resolution rejects the concept [in accordance with repealing of Resoution #12] of homosexual marriage and accepts the religious implications of [the concept] of marriage. as there is actually nothing in any religon which expressly forbids homosexual marriage - just the twisted and edited words corrupted by people in the church for their own agenda and has been used by the ignorant and homophobic since for their justification of an act that has no justification...

...not that I am biased of course ;)

You would also have to repeal the Definition Of Marriage resolution as well. It would require three seperate repeals, none of which really has a chance of passing (to be honest) and then a proposal (that is discriminatory and bigotted) being approved to grant less rights than the three current resolutions give.

So why should we support it again?

Basically (as far as I know) it goes like this.

1) A repeal proposal can only repeal one resolution
2) A repeal proposal can not enact new legislation, it can only delete old legislation
3) That's pretty much it.

So to do what you want to do you have to do this.

1) Repeal Resolution 7 with no other legislation
2) Repeal Resolution 12 with no other legislation
3) Repeal the Definition of Marriage resolution with no other legislation

(Note - there is a lot of support for gay rights in the UN, so I would not hold out any hope of getting past step one)

4) Submit your current proposal again.

That's pretty much the only way your proposal will not be illegal.

Thank you for the clarification.

I'd just like to say, so it isn't misunderstood that I support gay rights, that was the point of the resolution.

Is it possible to delete this thread, and the other one AND the repeal resolutions so I can start over?

You can ask officially for it in "Moderation". They delete or lock threads. Don't lose heart, though, my first several proposals were either totally illegal or very poorly written; they completely failed. You'll get it. You've just got to run a good telegram campaign, stay on message, and get yourself a cute campaign button. It really helps.
