In light of tropical climates, the Commonwealth of Fesilgrad urges the UN to make clothing an option of citizens.

RECOGNIZING that some nations feel that nudity is immoral and corrupt,

NOTING that in tropical and subtropical climates, it can become too hot and humid for need of clothing, and

REMINDING the UN Nations that citizens should have complete freedom over their bodies, Fesilgrad

URGES member nations to pass this act, causing clothing to be optional in all member nations, thereby

REINFORCING a citizens freedom over his/her own body, and the fact that a citizen should have the right to choose nudity or clothing.


Do ye say yea, or do ye say nay?

Nay.

Take a look at the Rules for UN proposals (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=420465) and strip out the Branding. You might want to consider a title change as well, as it really should be "The Nudity Act" You might also realize that this topic is a very common issue delivered to all nations, to the point that we even have a UN Report on "Nudest" every so often.

It's not a bad first post, but it's not ready for the UN proposal queue just yet. Next time, bring it here for review first.

OKay. But how was it branding?

You can't name your nation in the proposal; it's already put on the resolution by the Gnomes.

While Ceorana would most likely support this, we caution that we believe that tropical climates are really not the issue. You can wear light clothing, or clothing with a built-in cooling system, or whatever.

Also check for contradictions with Child Pornography Prohibition.

I doubt there would be any, except where a child is considered to be a citizen.

I can't support this. Public opinion in many nations would not be ready to deal with this issue, and it should be left to the evolution of mores in each society.

Well, I'd be careful with how you word this resolution, as right now it seems kind of stupid at first glance. However, when throught about you present an important unseen issue of clothing regulation. Which interests me, as what clothes you wear could be considered freedom of expression, and should be protected (although I do think nations should be able to decide on the issue of complete nudity). As well, although I think it's a silly argument for nudity regulation, you ahve a point about clothing regulations and climate needs. Imagine an arctic nation where by law the women had to wear bikinis, or a hot desert nation where the women had to wear thick black parkas...it's inhumane.

To summarize: I don't support this resolution in this context as it seems rather silly, however a more comprehensive proposal on the topic of freedom of clothing would, if properly worded, strike me as a useful proposal.

Uniforms shouldn't be optional for members of the armed forces... or for imprisoned convicts.
Given that the UN now requries all nations to ensure workplace safety we must be free to require the use of appropriate protective clothing.

And anyway, what makes this any of the UN's business?
