Resolution #26 enforces the fundamental principles of a democratic, capitalistic society upon all U.N. member nations and violates the religious and cultural aspects there of, including but not limited to the religion of Islam and the ideologies of Socialism and Communism.

Furthermore, there are several blatant lapses of logic which undermine the fundamental system of laws of every U.N. nation.

Article 8 excludes parents from bearing responsibility over under aged children, implying that all minors should be tried in the court of law as adults for all circumstances.

Resolution #26 is a poorly written, chaotic set of laws that has brought nothing but confusion to the world while furthering the authoritarian power of the United Nations.

RESOLVED that each U.N. member nation has a right to establish its own bill of rights, suitable for said nations culture and ideology.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial bill was clearly an ethnocentric and poorly thought out scheme to adopt elements of The Constitution of the United States to all U.N. member nations. Repeal it.

First off, if you're going to try to repeal a resolution you need to file it properly by going to the resolution and clicking where it says "Repeal this Resolution."
Resolution #26 enforces the fundamental principles of a democratic, capitalistic society upon all U.N. member nations and violates the religious and cultural aspects there of, including but not limited to the religion of Islam and the ideologies of Socialism and Communism. So, the UN's primary purpose is to interfere with it's members.

Furthermore, there are several blatant lapses of logic which undermine the fundamental system of laws of every U.N. nation.Since when has the UN ever been logical?

Article 8 excludes parents from bearing responsibility over under aged children, implying that all minors should be tried in the court of law as adults for all circumstances. Let's take a look at what Article 8 says, shall we.
Article 8 -- A human beings family members cannot be held accountable for the crimes of their relative. What this says is that, you can't be tried for the crimes committed by another member of your family. I don't see where you're getting your definition.:confused:

Resolution #26 is a poorly written, chaotic set of laws that has brought nothing but confusion to the world while furthering the authoritarian power of the United Nations.

RESOLVED that each U.N. member nation has a right to establish its own bill of rights, suitable for said nations culture and ideology.They do, it's covered under Article 10 which states.
Article 10 -- The Universal Bill of Rights does not override the existing Bill of Rights of United Nations members. If any of these stated rights do not exist in a member nation, they are herby protected. If any nation has rights that go beyond these universal rights, the Universal Bill of Rights will not remove those rights.All it does is sets a minimum for the members to follow.

I'm one of the loudest National Sovereignty voices on the UN forum, and I see no reason to repeal this resolution.

I don't care if the majority of people in a nation are Stalinists, reactionary religious bigots or some other kind of authoritarians. That doesn't mean it's ok for them to remove the basic rights of other individuals.

And it doesn't appear to me to violate any fundamental principles of socialism or communism. You do realise that these are economic systems, and don't necessarily involve the insitution of an authoritarian oppressive state, right? It is perfectly possible for a socialist government to respect freedoms of expression, religion and assembly, avoid torturing people, give them fair trials, charge people before arresting or exiling them, and try people only for their own crimes.

Article 8 excludes parents from bearing responsibility over under aged children, implying that all minors should be tried in the court of law as adults for all circumstances.

You can still make court orders or whatever for negligent parents - you can force them to take parenting classes or something, but you can't directly punish them for what their children do, only for their failure to deal with their children appropriately.
