Considering all the conscription talk around Banning Slavery II I decided to drop any thoughts of regulating conscription in BSII, and drafted this highly unlikely little proposal.
[DRAFT 4]
Rights of Military Personelle
BELEIVING That conscription can be, and is, often abused by nations to violate the rights of their citizens.
UNDERSTANDING That although unfortunate, conscription is sometimes needed for the defense of a nation.
Thus, the UN:
(1)
DEFINES Conscription as the practice of forcing citizens into military, or military style service.
(2)
DEFINES Volunteer, for the purposes of this resolution, one who willingly, being of* clear mind and knowing the consequences, joins the military (or other agency/group).
(3)
DEFINES Military personnel or anyone serving in the military.* This excludes enemy forces.
(4)
MANDATES That no person under the age of 18, nor over the age of 40 at the time of conscription may be conscripted.
(5)
MANDATES That no person with a physical or mental inhibition, illness, or disability may be conscripted.
(6)
MANDATES That no person with children or an unborn child may be conscripted.
(7)
MANDATES That no person who is intoxicated, under the influence of narcotics, mentally ill, or under the age of 16 may volunteer for military service.* * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * *
(8)
MANDATES That all persons, should they choose, must be released from service after two years, and given the opportunity to leave every year afterwards should they decide to remain in service.
(9)
INSTRUCTS UN Nations to extend consideration towards those who's personal beliefs forbid killing or violence, such as providing them a co-ordination or medical assignment.
(10)
MANDATES That all military personnel be treated fairly, provided when ever possible a minimum of two meals per day, clean drinking water, functioning equipment, and time and supplies for personal hygiene.
(11)
MANDATES That all military personnel be treated equally, with no discrimination based on race, religion, ethnicity, beliefs or method by which they found themselves in the military.
(12)
MANDATES That all military personnel be allowed full communication with anyone they choose, and shall not be punished nor censored except in the case of security sensitive information.
(13)
MANDATES That all military personnel have the right to take reasonable action to preserve their lives in a situation where death or severe harm is almost guaranteed, no military personnel may be sent on a "suicide mission". As well, no military personnel may be executed or willfully killed or executed without a fair trial before an impartial judge and jury of peers.
