Furthernment of Democracy
International Sports Standards
Mild

This resolution proposes that for international sporting events that are held between U.N member states should be monitored by a United Nations committee that sets a standard with regards to safety of the players that take part in these international competitions and the use of religious or ceremonial items that might infringe upon another player’s personal safety within the sport field.

International sporting events are sporting events that occur more than one U.N member states and it brings together the best athletes within U.N member-states but also brings together ‘small-scale’ athletes that come to compete for fun or competition.

International sporting events that would fall under U.N member jurisdiction would include

Baseball*
Football/Soccer*
Cricket
Basketball*
Football (ii)
Skiing*
Hockey*

* - indicates that this is a sport that is associated to both men and women.

Recommends that religious objects and headdress, for instance, the Islamic head scarf, hijab and burka along with the Islamic and Hindu turbans and other religious items for other religious and ethnic communities that reside in U.N member-states and take apart in international sports events, be banned from the sports events above for the protection of the participant themselves and for other players on their team and on opposition teams.

Confirms that national U.N sports regulations apply to national and regional tournaments and sport events that take part with teams only from within the U.N member-state national boundary.

Complaints can be placed to a United Nations Sport Committee from players that want to wear their ‘religious or ethnic’ objects on the grounds that these ‘objects’ will not cause any physical harm to themselves and to other players. If they can not prove such evidence they will not be able to wear the ‘object’ and if they can, regulations would be updated by the United Nations Sports Committee.

I know little about UN categories, and even less about sport, so I can't give this any sort of technical assessment.

However, I do know my UN delegation would complain bitterly about the interruption to their drinking if they were asked to legislate on this, and our national cricket team would scream blue murder at the idea of some bunch of diplomats messing around with their sport. It seems more like the sort of thing the international governing body of each individual sport should be looking at.

That said, if you want to go ahead with it as a proposal, you should check to see if it contravenes any existing legislation.This (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Index_of_UN_Resolutions#Religion) is a list of UN resolutions by subject (Mikitivity's, I think).

You also should try to clarify what it is you're trying to do. You've got a committee to rule on international sporting legislation -- but is there any? Or this -- "national U.N sports regulations"? So I think your proposal would have to say something about where this sporting legislation will come from.

How in bloody hell does this further democracy?

In Seabear70 we took a poll on this very subject this week.

According to statistical sampling, there was a unamious verdict of WHO CARES!!!

Margin of error is +/- 5%

Now for instance for using RL, international competitions that are played are run by an international body so therefore because it does not run off one state's standards with regards to the way their sports for national or provincial/state competitions and it may go against another nation's national sports standards, a committee and international sports standards for only international competitions should apply.

Now I don't know if it falls under Furtherment Democracy but the other resolutions it doesn't really fall under as well.

the corporate governing comittees that run these professional sports make milions of asenines every day. Let them work it out.

Is that in your NS nation or NS world or is that in real life that you are talking about??

OOC, find me one real nation that uses the Asenine as a form of currency.

:headbang:

this is dumb, we'd just be wrapping the UN in more pointless Bureacracy

this is dumb, we'd just be wrapping the UN in more pointless Bureacracy

It lives on that and BS apparently. :rolleyes:

Now I see why people are having problems with the U.N forms. If you don't like the U.N choked with bureacracy then leave the U.N.

And to Seabear70, if you make any more nasty comments about me I will file a complaint with NS moderators and U.N staff to get you disciplined in the U.N and in N.S games.

So be civil or don't talk to me I don't really care. And this is not a threat this is a warning.

I don't see you work on proposals in the U.N or anything like that so what is your delegation good for anyway. Except space.

Ok, have them throw me out.

I have yet to see any civility here, so I am not inclined to offer it.

lol :p

Excuse me: your head scarfs play cricket?

Ok, have them throw me out.

I have yet to see any civility here, so I am not inclined to offer it.Perhaps it's because you didn't offer any in the first place that it was not reciprocated? There is plenty of civility here, if you warrant it.

I suppose you'd prefer it if Sheik Larebil were still here, doling out flowers right and left?

Respectfully,

Cluichstani Ambassador to the UN

(OOC: Here's a hint: Search for my posts that include his name.)

I'd like to echo everyone else's sympathies here that sporting events are a waste of UN time and resources. I'd also like to go on to explain that the purpose of the UN is to foster a collaberative and peaceful collection of nations dedicated to tackling important national issues and coming to an agreeable decision on how to address those issues.

Sporting events are not, under all but the most strenous and unlikely circumstance, ever important issues.

I give this a big yawn. And my people yawn VERY big!
