Here's a rough draft:

Repeal "Sex Industry Worker Act"

To the UN,

WORRIED that a legalization of prostitution causes an increase in human trafficking

FURTHER WORRIED that the onus of controlling human trafficking will fall on the police, thereby increasing the pressure on law enforcement that Resolution #91 attempted to alleviate

POINTS OUT that Resolution #91 contradicts itself by saying early in the resolution that "sex a private issue, instead of a government issue" and then stating later that "legalizing prostitution must coincide with regulation from the government"

NOTES that a decrease in Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) cannot possibly be assumed in a situation in which prostitution is legal

ARGUES that nations that do not believe in prostitution should not have to pay to regulate it

FURTHER ARGUES that it is unfair for nations who wish to deter prostitutes to be economically penalized by having to pay for the educational programs which Resolution #90 recommends

CONCERNED that Resolution #90 does not delineate on how to judge whether a person is fit to be a prostitute or not, using extremely arbitrary words such as "mature" and "capable of making their own decisions"

FURTHER CONCERNED that Resolution #90 does not elaborate on what role the government is to play in the regulation of prostitution; Resolution #90 nebulously describes the regulation of prostitution like the regulation of "any other profession"

HEREBY repeals UN Resolution #90 "The Sex Industry Worker Act"



What do you think? Grammar mistakes, anything superfluous, how was it written, anything illegal?

Thanks for the feedback.

Against, I think, for the same reason I'm against the current resolution up for vote.

We are fundamentally unconvinced by the arguments. Beyond that, it seems legal.

OOC: Disco, quoting the whole post in the immediate next post was a tad unnecessary.

In Theory, if the entire industry was regulated by the state, unionized and etc... wouldn't this decrease the likelyhood of STD's?

I mean if it was controled by the state, having manditory health inspections to maintain a licence. Now, if this was done it would clearly destory the illegal sector just because it is safer.

It's pretty easy to strike a good balance. You'll have a "legal" but highly regulated market, where people get fined a lot for violations. THat's pretty easy to achieve in these sorts of situations. You'll still have a black market, because there are some scary things in this market.

That may seem arbitrary however, noting that there are different species in the NSUN which may not age equivalently to humans, you cannot place cold, hard and fast age limits.

ARGUES that nations that do not believe in prostitution should not have to pay to regulate it

So, how do you suggest it be payed for?

Business? Uh... No. They are interested in profit, not cleaning up the streets.

The Private Citizen? Nope, as there are a portion of them which, through their use of prostitution, fund the business.

The UN? That invades NatSov. of a nation.

So in the end, nations through taxes will have to pay for it.

What I gather from those two quotes.

The Act of Sex itself = Private, personal matter.
The Business of Prostitution = Public, in so far as like any business it is regulated to some extent by government. If such regulation bans prostitution or allows it to occur freely, that is the choice of aforementioned government.

Therefore, there is no contradiction... As All forms and occasions of Sex do not equate with Prostitution, while Prostitution is a business based on Sex.

this concept of paying for sex is very curious phenomena. The Emperor wonders how much women would pay to have sex with his Imperialness?

WORRIED that a legalization of prostitution causes an increase in human trafficking

How would that occur? If prostitution was freely accessable and regulated by the state, then how could such trafficking increase?
Rather, if it is left illegal and thus unregulated, it will infact increase... as governements do not have the ability to put in place safety measures so this will not occur.

Sure, they could happen to shut one instance of prostitution down by force yet there would be several more that would run at the same time, unchecked, which would still serve as points to traffic human beings.
