Description: UN Resolution #182: Marriage Protection Act (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: The reason we should repeal resolution 182 because, why some countries have there own customs defining marrige, moral values are more important and should be used. Also the UN should define marrige because there is to much confusion between what is right and what is wrong. Therefore UN resolution 182 should be repealed.
Thank you,

Have you read Resolution #182?:DECLARES that it is the right of all UN member nations to define and regulate marriage and civil union within their own borders as they see fit.Enforce your moral values inside your own borders. And while you're at it, define marriage any way you like (just like the resolution tells you to), inside your own borders. Marriage is a domestic issue, and I'll be damned if I'm going to allow the UN to rewrite my nation's marriage laws.

Not only is Kenny absolutely correct about what Resolution #182 does. This proposal is illegal due to branding since that's the actual text of the proposal.

Hear, hear.
It is not in the UN's brief to dictate laws which affect the domestic society of member nations. This resolution is a gross imposition and typical of the pseudo-liberal autocratic left-wing domination of the UN.

Personally, I believe that repealing the Marriage Protection Act would be most unwise. In a world where such divergent opinions exist as to the nature, the purpose, and the necessity of marriage as a civil institution, it would seem both futile and divisive to force agreement on a purely domestic (and peaceful) matter of policy.
The MPA appropriately addresses the prickly issue of international marriage recognition while respecting the sovereignty of each nation to adopt its own policies regarding marriage as a civil institution. For these reasons, I am afraid I cannot lend support for the repeal of the MPA.

Oh look, another person who hasn't actually read the damn resolution they think they want repealed. If you had you'd know that it contains this clause.
DECLARES that it is the right of all UN member nations to define and regulate marriage and civil union within their own borders as they see fit.
