I think that UN Resolution #6, End Slavery, does not adequetly prevent slavery...however, I am uncertain that my repeal will pass, or even make quorum, so I was wondering if my replacement proposal is different enough to be submitted without a repeal.

Here it is:

BANNING SLAVERY
A resolution

BELEIVING that slavery is a barbaric practice, and has no place in the 21st century.

BELEIVING that human beings are not property and cannot be owned.

DEFINING slavery as the ownership and/or forced labour of a human being (excluding prisoners).

DEFINING the "slave trade" as the purchasing, selling, trading, bartering, or giving away of a human being.

DECLARING that no UN nation may allow slavery, the slave trade, or the transportation of slaves in their territory.

MANDATING that no UN nation may directly, intentionally or knowingly receive funding from, or fund slavery or slave trading within or outside their territory.

MANDATING that no UN nation may harbour slavers, slave traders or those that fund or profit from slavery or the slave trade, even if these practices should occur outside said nation's territory.

STRONGLY URGING UN nations to severe ties with slavery supporting non-UN nations.

STRONGLY URGING non-UN nations to halt the practice of slavery.

Needs work.

DEFINING slavery as the ownership and/or forced labour of a human being (excluding prisoners).So when Dad forces Little Billy to mow the lawn, he's turned Little Billy into a slave.
