Category: Repeal

Resolution: #6

Proposed by: Randomisation_nation

Description: UN Resolution #6: End slavery (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: NOTING that since the law of End Slavery was implemented on the 21st of January 2003, the general lifestyle of the wealthy has declined in huge proportions,

NOTING that since slaverey has been abolished, there has been a sharp increase in overcrowding in all UN member nations,

NOTING that many people who have previously 'owned' slaves have indeed paid them a fair wage,

NOTING that 99% of the slaves who were indeeded released on the above date in UN member nations have died within 2 years due to a lack of access to social support, no income and no family

I hereby declare that UN resolution #6 be hereby replealedTalk about pulling statistics out of your ass, especially since there's almost no way that the proposing nation could have been around when End Slavery was passed as it was passed before I started playing, and I have about 10 times the population as the author. :rolleyes:

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Carnasials

Description: Being as slavery is a brutal and tragic practice, legislation should be enacted to protect all nations.

However, the current rights granted by Resolution 6 pose an unreasonable risk to the populace at large and the safety of all nations.

Citizens should not have the right to travel at will within their country. Regretibly, some citizens choose to conduct themselves outside the law. Their unrestricted movements pose a danger to themselves as well as others. In addition, a percentage of a nation's citizenry will contain the mentally ill as well as mentally handicapped. Again, a responsible government may need to restrict their movement in order to protect their welfare and the welfare of others. In the event of natural disaster, goverment agencies may need to restrict access or impose a quarantine protocol in order to fascilitate rescue efforts and minimize resulting damage. A government must reserve the right to restrict their citizen's movements for the safety of all.

The second point requiring revision states "The right to bodily safety from one's employer." In the case of armed forces, police, fire fighters, and rescue personnel an assurance of bodily safety cannot be guaranteed. As there are many professions involving a degree of bodily risk to a greater or lesser extent, the point should be revised to protect citizens from an unreasonable physical risk.

As such I propose that Resolution 6 be stricken and replaced with the following rights:

- The right to leave her or his job, given two weeks' notice.
- The right to own possessions.
- The right to reasonable safe-guards by one's employer.
- The outlawing of the selling or purchasing of people. Illegal, in order to replace a resolution the original resolution must be repealed before the replacement is submitted.

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Carnasials

Description: In this day and age, people have a greater ability to travel than ever before. With this globe-spanning ability however, comes an increased responsiblity to its citizenry. Criminals who seek to ellude justice have merely to flee across an international border to escape prosecution.
Each nation needs the ability to administer justice to their populace, for crimes committed within their sovereign borders, regardless of where the guilty party or parties seek to escape justice.
As such, I propose that all nations facilitate the extradition of suspects fleeing lawful prosecution of the country whose laws they have broken.I'm not sure, but I think that this contradicts Right to Refuse Extradition.

Resolution Deus Ex Machina I
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Urbanasia

Description: I, delegate of the illustrious Empire of Urbanasia, forthwith propose that war or conflicts of any nature be hitherto outlawed should they occur between any two or more states with membership in the United Nations. It is my belief that the very nature of the definition of the term "United Nations" implies that these states need not dispute with one another in malproductive ways, but work together to incur peace and productivity. I also hereby propose that, since these nations are united, an army be created to represent these United Nations should a war erupt between UN members and non-members. The proposed army should be comprised of volunteers from any and all member nations, and in this case i believe a draft should be made illegal (so as to preserve democracy and the power of choice). It is also recommended (though not proposed) that a Peace Corps be cited to those nations without membership in the UN to assure them that we mean them no harm.
I'm just trying to work out what this has to do with a plot device used in bad theatre.

Regarding slavery, maybe the overpopulation is happening because he only counts those who weren't slaves - or perhaps he's only got to pieces of data, the number of citizens (therefore excluding slaves) before and the number of citizens now (which includes slaves) and the 1% was enough to create a *shocking* increase :P

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: MP - Brad Hooton

Description: Argument: The UN,

UNDERSTANDING the sentiment against chemical weapons, which can cause large-scale destruction, present in "Ban Chemical Weapons",

NOTING, HOWEVER the precedent of the UN to allow citizens in member nations a reasonable level of self-protection, as well as the precedent for member nations to encourage the preservation of order and lawfulness within their boundaries,

RECOGNIZING that tear gas and smoke ordnance, which are chemical ‘weapons’ used by some nations to justly enforce the law and preserve order, are banned by “Ban Chemical Weapons”,

RECOGNIZING that mace and pepper sprays, which are vital chemical mechanisms for innocent civilians in defending themselves from dangerous criminals (especially in cases of robbery, assault, and rape), are banned by “Ban Chemical Weapons”,

REALIZING "Ban Chemical Weapons" unfortunately makes no differentiation between war-time chemical weapons and peace-time chemical ‘weapons’, affecting them all,

GRIEVING the loss to police enforcement and persons in urban areas (especially women in urban areas) of these vital chemical tools for law enforcement and self-protection:

REPEALS "Ban Chemical Weapons".

To whom it may concern,

We submit that the following proposal is fatally undermined by the lack of a definition of 'narcs', to the extent that an intransigent interpreter would subvert the author's intentions with considerable ease:

More Narcs
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.

Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Outlaw
Proposed by: Krunchykar

Description: People who take recreational drugs are a potential threat to others. The dealers will kill anyone who they think would have the slightest chance of squealing on them. The customers, after they become addicted to it, will do anything to get them high; activities may include the robbing of banks, running over people to meet their dealer, and so on. Therefore, more narcs should be hired.

Every nation shall have at least 2 narcs per 31 people. They shall investigate at least 2 times a week. For their safety, they will be given a taser and bulletproof armor. Guns can also be given, but they are not encouraged. If a narc finds a dealer, he/she shall employ as little violence as possible. If a dealer is found dead with signs of brutal treatment, the narc will be imprisoned. To justify the imprisonment, the second narc shall accompany the other one on all their investigations.

Ordinary citizens are encouraged to participate. Special training will be given to those who decide to be part of operations. Free life insurance will also be given.

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TO OUTLAWING ALL DRUGS. WE MUST TAKE IT.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Weird Isle

Description: As transportation and information technology has evolved, the problem of scarce resources; the primary reason for wars throughout history is diminishing. There is no longer a reason for war, other than the politics of corrupt nations.

Although it is true that only UN member nations must abide by UN rules, and that by disarming ourselves while being outnumbered by non-member nations we are vulnerable to military attacks, we must also take note the fact that the UN Member to non-member nations is roughly the same size among the developed and powerful nations.

Recognizing the primary reason and means to wage wars is resources, members of the UN may protect eachother from hostile nations through complete trade embargoes against them and their supporters, creating economical disaasters and beyond to the aggressors. Through the use of this tactic we can protect our interests while advocating for Human Rights effectively by example by avoiding deaths of innocent men, civilian or military.

This resolution will dissolve all military institutions while eliminating all lethal weapons and the factories to produce them, with the exception of any variations of pistols, rifles, shotguns, and bombs for law enforcement and private use such as self protection and construction. Rifles and Bombs with extensive firing range and lethal* blast radius beyond what is necessary for their intended use (to be defined by experts in the area) are banned to prevent military application.

*Recognizing that some bombs are non-demolition purposes and some bombs breaks up materials through non-explosive means.Illegal, contradicts both UN resolution #109 Nuclear Armaments, and UN Resolution #110 United Nations Security Act.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: The Socialist Canadian

Description: In a world of uncertainty, the UN is outnumbered. There are three non-members to every UN member. This makes many of the decisiond by the UN utterly pointless and ineffective.

If we want a United Nations that in fact does anything at all that is good for the world, we should institute a campaign in which every delegate to a region must ask of that region's members to apply for a United Nations membership. In this way we are furthering not only the world in the ways of Democracy, but the world in the ways of equality.

In this resolution, each regional delegate would be required to send out a message to each of thier regional members (who are not currently a member of the United Nations) in which they are asked politely to join the UN. It will then be up to the Individual non-member to decide whether to or whether not to join the United Nations, but if the Regional Delegates could even do that, then their jobs will have been done, and the United Nations will be even more important than ever before and the world will be better represented. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my resolutionJust what the delegates need, the UN telling them that they have to telegram every non member in their region asking them to join the UN, heaven help The Pacifics. ;)

Category: International Security

Description: Realizing that Hurricane's,Tsunami's,Earthquicks and many other dangers are always a constant threat.

A global fund of at least 1,000,000,000 will always be available which would include funds and supplies.

Realize that when or if a disater should happen Military Forces would be allowed to help victims by temproraily taking control of the affected area or areas when local or national governments fail.These forces would still have to have common decency and try to help all victims both injured and hostile.

These forces must act together to get all victims out within 72 hours.

I propose that the UN makes performance enhancing drugs LEGAL in all sports and activities.
If you vote for this, no longer will sports be about who was born talented. All you need to succeed is some pills! Sports can no longer be about winning and losing, but about who can take the most drugs and still be standing at the end of the game!

Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing

Proposed by: New York Jet Fanatics

Description: Fuel Efficiency Act

UNDERSTANDING that it is well within the technological capabilities of automobile manufacturers to produce vehicles with fuel efficiencies of better than 30 MPG (miles per gallon).

DISGUSTED that many cars advocate the usage of "luxury" automobiles, which often have very low fuel efficiencies

WHEREAS fuel efficient vehicles emit lesser quantities of greenhouse gases, which are responsible for global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer.

WHEREAS fuel efficient vehicles use less gasoline, and are therefore cheaper to use.

WHEREAS diesel fuel, leaded gasoline and other fossil fuels expel vaster quantities of greenhouse gases, in addition to (in some cases) carbon monoxide, which is highly detrimental to the human respiratory system

This resolution finds itself justified in:
BANNING the use of automobiles with rates of fuel efficiency less than 30 MPG
BANNING the use of automobiles using diesel fuel, unleaded gasoline, and other detrimental fuels.I love how this one talks about how leaded gasoline is worse for the environment than unleaded, then goes and bans unleaded.

Repeal "DVD region removal"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #5

Proposed by: Jey

Description: UN Resolution #5: DVD region removal (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: While we are in favor of allowing free trade of all media types between regions, this “resolution” is completely unenforceable and, thus, meaningless. Without even mentioning the obvious misspellings in this past resolution, it has numerous flaws. Vital points that should have been covered in this resolution that were left unexpanded to include:

-The rights and privileges of nations and regions when it comes to all other media types, including: CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, VHSs, Cassettes, Other Record Types, Nearly all computerized media such as: .jpg files, .wmv, .mpg, .avi, etc.

-The inevitability that media types will advance over time. This resolution only covers one type of media which is only effective during the time in which DVDs are used as standardized media.

-How this resolution would have been enforced, whether by a committee of the U.N., the governments of the nations of the U.N., or from other means.

In light of this resolution’s ineffectiveness and failure to expand further its explanation and purpose, be it resolved that,

Resolution #5, “DVD region removal” is repealed.

Be it further resolved that,

A replacement resolution containing the rights and privileges of regions and nations when it comes to their present and future media types is submitted.

Ban IVF in some nations

A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.

Category: Moral Decency

Proposed by: Antipatris

Description: In the likely hood of the IVF bill being passed, the Holy Republic of Antipatris, and nations in the same region, would like to submit this resolution for UN approval:

1. While we understand that it is the goal of many people to have childeren, it should be done in a natural way.

Antipatris does not support same-sex couples, nor does it endorse stem cell research. Our principles are based on the Bible, and will not be altered in it's truths.

2. While some nation approve this method of conception, the region of Hadera does not. More than 2,000 other nation share this point of view, and we are asking for the right to deny IVF and stem cell research in our nations.

It is my hope the UN takes the time to think about the impact of this resolution. Thank you, and may God bless you all.

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: New Ocean

Description: It's always been outrageous how companies can treat animals, in my point of view. Take porks, for example. Porks would taste the same way even if they were given better living conditions. I have seen the way they're transported to places: they are crammed more than tightly in a van, which causes lots of them to die of suffocation. As a matter of fact, some companies even pay their employees a higher amount of money if they only half of the animals they're carrying die. I realise how we're talking about the food chain here, but there's no need to be cruel with animals. And porks was just one example. Lots of other animals also used for food are given the same treatment or an even worse one. We have got to act and create laws that will force these companies to treat animals better! I am not saying "treat them as kings," but at least don't treat them with such cruelty. I hope this proposal attracts many of you. Thank you very much!

I like how pigs are consistently called pork. Do we only have to look after them if we plan to eat them?? :)

Wartime Trade

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Dixon Eldorado

Description: During a time of war, allies need to support one another, not loot and pillage one another for profit. It is important that resources be pooled to combat an evil enemy.

It has been proven throughout history that when a nation or individual seeks profit over victory in war, they inevitably lose. It happened in Vietnam, when "Lady Bird" Johnson had a monopoly on shipping goods to the front, and was more concerned in making money than allowing the military forces to win.

Therefore, be it resolved that during a time of war, nations shall not impose tarrifs or other taxes or fees on goods being sold to their allies. Also, that individuals in political office must relinquish control of any stocks, bonds, or influential positions of power within companies providing goods and services for the war effort for the duration of the conflict.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Antrium

Description: SEEING THAT some companies may label their products incorrectly, or misuse words like “fresh“ and “organic“, and also seeing that there is a rising number of people that need to be able to know what is in what they are eating, this proposal imposes the following:

I. If a product is marketed in one or multiple countries that speak different official languages, all labels on the product must be in all official languages of those countries, and must all translate to mean the same thing.

II. Defining “fresh” as “not stale, sour, or decayed” and “not altered by processing,” and defining “organic” as “food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant or animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides.” Nothing may be labeled “fresh” or “organic” unless it fits the above definition.

III. All people have the right to know what is in the food they eat. This means all packaged products must be labeled with (if applicable) the ingredients of the product, and nutrition facts, which should include the amount of fat, trans fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, sodium, protein, vitamins and minerals, and calories in the product. Also, all packaged products must be labeled with the country where the product was grown/made.

Weapons of Mass Destruction

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Lukotopia

Description: The world today is being constantly threatened by the fact that many countries have weapons to destroy it. These nations claim that they need these weapons to defend themselves, but in reality, if no nations had these weapons, no nations would feel threatened by the threat of a nuclear holocaust. The weapons that would be outlawed are:
*Long range missles
*Nuclear warheads
*Atomic and hydrogen bombs
*Chemical weapons such as VX nerve gas.
*Biological agents such as Anthrax

I am confident that this resolution not only will free up a large amount of money that was going to be used on WMD's. This money can be used towards social welfare and public goods. Not only will the world's people experience improved living, they will no have to live in the shadow of fear of a nuclear holocaust.

Stop region bouncing

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: United militia of jess

Description: i propose a law be created that abolishes nations right to bounce from region to region without a legitimate reason
this will increase security not only nationaly but worldly!
if a country chooses to change regions they will be required
to submit a a statement including reasons for there disatisfactions of there present region and there praise of the region they hope to join'a proposal that will be read and voted on by all delacates of the un
thank you
Oh my.

First, it's illegal because it is mixing the UN and regions - a seperate part of the game.

Next, you want every nation changing region to submit a statement? Will invaders have to let regions know they are coming? What about nations ejected from regions? Will the rulers of puppet empires have to put together essays everytime they want to start a new place?

Finally, you want the UN delegates to vote on the matter.

Every. Single. Time. Any. Nation. Moves.

The game currently has over one hundred thousand nations. As a guess, approximately 20,000 of those would move every day. And you want every UN delegate to be on hand to vote on every single one of them.

Category: Political Stability

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Gothnic

Description: I would like to propose a Ban of the Geneva Convection.
The Geneva Convection was a great Idea at one time when waring nations conducted themselves in gentlemen type ways. Those day are long gone like knights of a long gone era. To days Warfare is very Cruel where one side punishes its soldiers for harsh treatment. The other side rewards cruelty.
Today I would like to purpose the Ban of the Geneva Convection
I believe its the right of the soldiers in the Field
to decided what will happen to those they capture.

The Ban of the Geneva Convention:
1)The ban of the 50 cal. machine gun & other weapon sectioned by the Geneva convection will be no more.
In time of war all weapons will be allowed to be used on enemy soldiers

2)The treatment of surrendered/captured troops will be at the discretion of the military forces & retribution may not be taken after the war

I believe no soldier should be prosecuted for the way they conducted themselves in times of battle & war.

I was talking to one of our nations soldiers. He told me of an incident where one of his buddies took out an entire squad of enemy troops with a Hummer mounted 50 cal. machine gun. Later he said the soldier was court marshaled for breaking the laws of the Geneva convention & sentenced to prison. Even tho he saved his units life.

I would have the UN side with me on this issue. Cut the ropes that would tie the hands of those that risk there lives to defend our nations Vote yes on the Geneva Convention Ban. :rolleyes:

We must try save as much of the enviroment as possible. If we have all industry in one region, we will be able to save most of the worlds enviroment.
In light of the above the UN resolves to have all member nations (except nations in the Programming region) move their industries to Programming region and allow their own enviroments to flourish.This has about as much chance as that resolution that would've required all UN nations to give their nukes to the author.

Category: Social Justice

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Metroplia

Description: RECOGNIZING unbalances in monetary wealth between different citizens as unavoidable in most, if not all, member nations,

DETERMINING the interpretation of this unbalance, whether as an incentive for achievement or as the bane of the poor, differs among member nations,

RESIGNED to the fact that member nations will likely never agree, with any convincing degree of consensus, on specific theories regarding taxation or agree on the quality of various economic models,

DISGUSTED that there might be some member nations which attempt to pass legislation as a cudgel to force those of dissenting economic and moral opinions on taxation into their collective, arbitrary molds of ‘rightness’ and ‘wrongness’ in taxation systems,

VALUING member nations' right of self-determination, since they may determine the individual characteristics of their government much more adequately than the UN, which is far removed from the individual nation’s various situations and unique qualities,

DEEMING, still, it worthwhile to advocate a few basic measures of social justice upon the tax systems of member nations, which are generally agreed upon by all as a middle-ground:

1 ENCOURAGES member nations, and all nations in the world, adopt progressive systems for taxation, which is to say that the tax rate for a citizen increases as a citizen increases in earnings;

2 REQUESTS member nations allow for those who cannot pay their debts to declare bankruptcy: so they may not be pursued by lenders whom they have no means to pay;

3 EXHORTS all nations to investigate, critically, their respective taxation systems, detached from political motivation, to uncover what values of human liberty and social justice their taxation system upholds and in what ways it may fail to address one or the other;

4 DECLARES it the right of the individual member nation, ultimately, to determine its individual system of tax without interference by the United Nations,

That is to say, we RESERVE the right for individual nations to determine ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘how’, and ‘how much’ to tax--exclusively and independently (including, but not limited to, a nation’s tax model, tax exemptions, those who are taxed,tax rates, targeted taxation and all other choices regarding a nation's system of tax), excluding, of course, cases in which the United Nations has already resolved upon international standards for certain aspects of a member nation's system of taxation at the time of the passing of this resolution. This one seems oddly familiar.

2) ALSO RECOGNIZING that all people, regardless of their race or ethnic background, have a right to attend school and receive an education.

3) NOTING that not all people are able to afford the extravagant costs that are usually associated with education, especially the costs of secondary institutions such as universities and colleges.

4) ALSO NOTING that more people with an education means more people with the potential to work in high-paying jobs, increasing the amount of taxes paid to the government, possibly offsetting the costs of free education.

PROPOSES THAT:

i) All the costs associated with education across all grade levels (from kindergarden to the first four years of university/college), shall be struck out.

ii) Any education after that listed above shall be offered at a discount, to be determined by each nation as suitable for them.

iii) In order to offset the cost of offering free education, the educational institutions shall be allowed to host a fundraiser of any sort once to twice a week (e.g music recital, hat days).

iv) Any outstanding debts associated with secondary education shall be struck out and rendered void.

Proposed by: Brocklandia

Description: The UN, noting:

1. The recent tendency of this body to pass a resolution and then soon pass a second resolution repealing the first;

2. The trend toward repeals based on unenforceable or badly phrased points of law in the original resolution, typically resulting from problems in the drafting thereof;

3. The resulting creation of administrative problems in ensuring that all UN member nations know which resolutions remain in force, and the effects thereof, in order to comply with UN regulations;

4. UN member nations need to accept greater responsibility for passing resolutions that are properly drafted and appropriate, rather than resolutions that are merely faddish;

Resolves that all resolutions passed by the UN must remain in force for at least six consecutive months before any member nation can submit a repeal resolution. This will reduce the number of frivolous resolutions submitted for the UN's consideration, allow the UN to focus on considering more timely and appropriate proposals, and reduce the administrative confusion over which regulations are in effect or have been voided. Illegal, game mechanics violation.

also well dictators are plain better for the people of nations since well there will be less things the people will argue about cause if they do they will get punished also the people who fear the dictator will agree with everything he/she says.

Dictators will no doubt improve every country in the UN thank you for your time

Global Warming Warning

A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses

Proposed by: Mister Tom

Description: GLOBAL WARMING

The Problem:

Normally, sunlight turns to heat when reaching Earth’s surface, then harmlessly bounces back into the atmosphere. Global warming creates a “greenhouse effect” where warming gases, like those from fossil-fuel combustion, keep heat from escaping the atmosphere, reflecting it back towards Earth. Like a greenhouse, these gases allow light in, but do not let heat out. The gases slow the speed at which ozone holes can close and may also create new holes, allowing through more ultraviolet radiation. This may not be a huge effect for us but it is only going to get worse and if we don't act soon the problem will be up to our children or grandchildren.

The Effects:

Global warming slowly but surely is heating up our sea water. This is a serious problem and is melting the ice at the polar ice caps which is raising the sea level at a extremely quick rate. At this rate by the year 2100 the sea could well rise by 8-9metres. Since 1980 the global temperature has risen almost a full degree.In addition, a change to warmer conditions could encourage outdoor behavior that would increase population exposure to sunlight and the health risks associated with such exposure Thus the result of global warming could be a massive increase in skin cancers.

The Solution:

To counter sea level rises, add snow to the east Antarctic ice sheet. The 3 trillion tons of sea water needed each year would be sprayed out as snow on the ice cap, using technology much like ski slopes use to make artificial snow.

Stop burning fossil fuels to generate electricity. Alternatives: Solar cells, hydropower, wind power, nuclear power. Drawbacks: Solar cells are not yet practical or cost efficient. Will not work in high latitudes or cloudy areas where sunlight is not steady or intense. Hydropower is a regional solution. The question must be, Do we want to dam every beautiful river to generate electricity? Wind power is also a regional solution of limited capacity. Conventional nuclear power (based on fission) has fallen out of favor in the U.S. because the spent fuel rods are highly radiactive and must be stored for several million years before they are safe. Also, there is only a limited supply of uranium for use in nuclear reactors. A possible solution is nuclear fusion. This is the process which powers the sun. The technological problems for practical nuclear fusion power are enormous. However, fusion is a relatively clean (spent materials would need to be stored for less than 100 years) and there is a nearly limitless supply of fuel in the world's oceans.

So lets do something about it before its too late.

Description: 1. The UN Dictatorship prize shall be donated to the person or an organisation who shall have done the most or the best work for Dictators and cause the most wars between nations, for the increase of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of Dictator congresses. The prize will be decided by a great Dictator. In awarding the prize no consideration whatever shall be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize.

2. The Committee shall be formed by 10 persons of well known Dictators Known for being the most evil and little freedom. Chosen by the inventor of the prize (me). It will change whenever i want it to.

3. If a Dictator that is being rewarded has been helped by other Dictators that one dictator and all that helped him/her will be Disqualified to win any Dictatorship prize for the next 10 years after they had been caught.

4. To be considered eligible for the award, it is necessary to be a dictatorship (psychotic, corupt, etc.) or something close (father knows best state, iron fist consumerists), or anyone who i think is qualified.

5. Nominations that i recomended will not be explained. if anyone questioned my nominees will be punished properly.

6. On the Festival Day of the UN Dictatorship Prize, August 10, 2006 I will award each Dictator winning a prize a complimenary Nuke from a region(i will not name that region you will find out if you win the NUKE) a title that you will live with for the rest of your life as one of the greatest dictator around.

7. No appeals may be made against the decision of the Committee with regard to the award of a prize. SO not even for 20 years. if in 21 years i change my mind there will be no complaints given to me and other Dictators or else you will be punished properly. :rolleyes:

Why let other nations decide what is best for any particular nations form of indigenous customs or traditions? What may seem moral and right in one part of the world may seem immoral and wrong in another.

PROPOSING: No furthur laws be enacted to set Human Rights standards and to allow governments the right to set their on precedents and procedures.

EXCEPTIONS: In the event of any form of genocide as decided by the security council, the United Nations still retains the right to send in a peace keeping force to prevent the termination of untold numbers.

We need to allow our brother and sister nations the freedom of self rule, in all forms. What may not work for us may be the eeryday way of life for them.The first part's illegal as you can't blanket ban a proposal category, and the second part is illegal as the NSUN has neither a secutiry council or peacekeeping forces.

There is an arguement to be made that the delegates have a privaledged position - they get to chose what the rest of the UN votes on, and as such if they truly want to support democracy they must allow everything to come to the floor.

It's not an arguement I would make, cause some of these are insane, even if they are legal. But some people have made it in the past.

Mild Drug Legalisation Act
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.

Category: Recreational Drug Use
Decision: Legalize
Proposed by: Hysnia

Description: PLEASE READ THIS PROPOSAL BEFORE SIMPLY DISSMISSING IT
Please note: Not nessarsarily all forms of drugs are safe to take.
HOWEVER: Many people would disagree, and no law will stop them from taking drugs.
Unfortunately, when drugs are illegal, it makes it much harder for a drug addict to come forward when they need help.
If there is no threat of a criminal record, drug addicts would be much more willing to come forward, and take rehab.
Understood, it is a much worse thing to do to make money out of the seffering of others.
Seeing no morale injustice due to the use of drugs.

This resolution moves to legalise the use of
Marajuana, Hash, Alcohole, Tobacco, Codine, Mushrooms, LSD, Cocaine, Extacy, Methadone, and Heroin.
This resoulution also moves to legalise the government moniterd selling of
Marajuana, Hash, Alcohole, Tobacco, Codine, and Mushrooms.

Legal Murder
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: Transvestity

Description: capital punishment just isnt enough these days. We should trust our citizens enough to take care of justice themselves.
I say this because I believe everyone knows at least one person they want to kill. Its a natural human instinct. In fact in psychological text it is refered to as "Jesus i wish that SOB were dead."Dont run from it. Society must find a way to accomodate this very understandable human instinct.
And so I offer this plan; legal murder once a month. basically once a month each person can legally kill some one with no strings attached from the goverment. There are a few little rules though:
1.You have to have a good reason to kill the person none of this "I caught him screwing my wife." it has to be good like "he was a real jerk hole."
2.It isnt cumulative, you cant not kill anyone for a year then decide to go into a Mickey Ds with a shotgun and ruin a dozen people's egg McMuffin. 1 murder a month, thats it use it or lose it.
3.you cant hire someone to do the killing for you. You have to kill the person yourself. If your squeamish, trust me you'll get over that.
4. the last rule is you cant kill your own offspring, thats just immoral and unethical. besides if the little puke is bad enough. You might get lucky and he'll piss someone off enough to kill him for you.

-D- NOTING that rather than tax revenues of prostitution going into the coffers of governments, they are ending up in the coffers of criminals, pimps, and organized crime thus giving power and influence to crime in nations worldwide.

-E- RECOGNIZING that although prostitution is considered immoral in many cultures, governments do not have the right to mandate morality onto the public and that it is the responsibility of family and religious groups to teach morality to the individual.

-F- CONVINCED that the solution to protect these women in these developing nations as well as to bring in additional tax revenues to cash-starved nations is to call for a worldwide legalization of prostitution where it can be regulated by individual governments.

-1- URGES all nations to form laws to legalize and regulate the prostitution industry, thus ensuring the safety and quality for both producers and consumers.

-2- URGES all nations to subject the prostitution industry to the free market thus letting the price mechanism determine the appropriate supply and demand for prostitution.

-3- MANDATES that all nations under the UN take the necessary steps to allow prostitution to enter the free market as a legitimate industry.

EMPOWERS-UN countries, in the good of the people, to make war with evil nations that fail to meet said basic qualities of life
STRONGLY SUGGESTS-That UN countries consult with other members before taking military action
MANDATES- All UN memebers achieve at least a few civil and political rights

EXPANDS-The authority of the UN over the entire world, meaning that UN military forces, if sanctioned, may use ANY MEANS SHORT OF NUCLEAR OR BIOLOGICAL WEAPONARY TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. This will allow for quick and decisiva action to be taken without relying on the US or the UK to take action.

These monsterous "cars" are also a lot more expensive than a regular car, so, the world would be saving money and saving space on the road! Small cars also conserve a lot more gas, which will in turn, lower the gas prices. Am I right??RL reference right off the bat.

Not Palestine but a lot of the islamic terrorist cells do a fair bit of work in Chechnya fighting against Moscow. In fact, 13 of the 19 hijackers for the 9/11 attacks had been comfrimed as fighting at some point or another in Chechnya.

The Yong Patiots Act

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Relax

Proposed by: Durkinistan

Description: SUMMARY- The relaxation of the current UN agreement that male children below the age of 16 are not allowed to use firearms during civil war in their home countries. we oppose this current law and propose the following, whilst dealing with the girly liberal issues the UN seem to respond well to, such as... :

RECOGNISING- That the UN submit certain agreements for all UN nations to abide by, and any nations who do not act lawfully in accordance with the current UN-laws will be deemed as naughty and therefore the UN will write a letter to you saying how naughty you are.

SYMPATHIZING- The rights of children to have balanced childhood is necessary however currently boys are being pampered too much, some boys are being fed hot meals with almost no poison in it to build up their immune system, the kids are now being given beds in hostels and remarkably the other day a 13 year old said he had never killed a Jew. This slack discipline on kids has got to stop they are not turning into the killing machines are country needs to defend itself, instead these lads are having careers as curtain designers, uni-sex hairdressers or even male nurses! Durkinistan collectively understand children should not to be submitted to the atrocities on war at such an early age. For this reason Durkinistan propose a revised age limit on children who are supported by the government to carry firearms, this proposal asks that children below the age of 3 years are not required as military heroes as their arms are weak and we need strong fighters.

CONSIDERING- That currently Durkinistan are engaged in a mass civil war with the scum of the armed people's of Burkas have kids as young as 4-5 spitting covering fire on my troops from their bedroom windows and it's apparently against the law to murder a child, then the only way to overcome this situation sensibly is to give are kids an AK-47 or 2 and see how those little scamps like it. The only thing stopping Durkinistan for providing the poor kids who desperately want to become patriots is this Un resolution sating that below the age of 16 no person is allowed to join the army and no person below the age of 18 is allowed to own gun we are pleading for other UN nation to sympathise and vote for this proposal to let are little scamps become the honourable victims...I mean Victors who can overcome the complaining Armed people's of Burkas who feel you need ballot papers to vote in a leader.

This is also for democracys, anarchists and monarchs.

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Splurvia

Description: Self voting sanctions

It is time the game forum of the UN grew past the moderation of the individiual like and dislikes of the Appointed moderatores who limit the proposals.

Wheras the rights of all shall be safegaurded by the democratic process of teh vote the moderators now must step back and limit their restrictive process of represion in the area of the group policing itself.

The un body should be able to vote and enforce sanctions on memeber they see fit who propose ideas or act in ways contrarary to the body as a whole.

The sactions would be in forced as two warnings thena a 3 , 5, 10 ban from the forum or expuslsion from the UN for a progressive system of control.

I'm sorry, without an explosive or WMD-type warhead, a gun cannot kill 1000 people per second.

Add on, what if you drop a bomb, and while the bomb itself doesn't kill that many people in that second, the infrastructure damage after that might (9/11 anyone, not to mention Oklahoma City - speaking of which, is a plane now a WMD? I'm sure if you dropped it into a football field that was hosting the Superbowl and was halfway through the 4th quarter in a tight game, you could easily kill 1000 people in the second after the explosion.)

Argument: Argument: *This resolution hereby bans gay marriage, for it (homosexuality) is an unnatural state of being. By repealing gay rights, the majority of the world will be satisfied, and the remaining 0.01% of the homosexual world will be encouraged to convert back to normality by using religious therapy which will highly benenficial to the individual with the disorder.

Argument: CHRISTIANITY should be the only accepted form of religion in the UN. The majority of the United States is Christian, and we must preserve our forefathers' writings of limited religious tolerance. Because of American tax dollars, the ACLU has won huge cases in favor of clients who oppose Christ. THE ACLU condones the KORAN being paid for by TAXPAYER money, but OUTLAWS the distribution of BIBLES paid for by the people, yet the majority of America is CHRISTIAN.

Description: This act increases fines for many of the regular fines and as well as new ones:

Littering will be now have a $250 fine.

Drinking and Driving will result in a $4,000 fine and up to 120 days of imprisonment.

Parking in a no-parking zone is now worth up to a $500 fine, depending on the area of the parked car.

Going 5 mph over the speed limit in an regulated area is worth a $750 fine and up to 10 days of imprisonment or 15 days of imprisonment in a residental area.

Broken taillights is now worth a $200 fine.

Loitering in a no-loitering zone is worth a $100-$150 fine.

Parking in a handicapped zone without proof of id that you are handicapped will result in a $500 fine and up to 5 days of imprisonment.

Illegal car parts such as underglow neon and tinted windshields will no longer have fine and are now considered legal.

Because of the strict fines, the income tax rate has now decreased 35%.First off, I'm not sure that this is categorized correctly, secondly I know it's illegal anyway because of the last line which attempts to mandate a stat change which constitutes a game mechanics violation.

Removal of United Nations
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Englandistan

Description: The United Nations has been a thorn in the side of many a democratically elected state for decades. Many join the U.N as they are not militarily strong enough to survive outside it's so-called 'protection'. This protection racket not only costs the country its finances, but also its political freedoms.

Smaller nations have to comply with resolutions that are potentially damaging to their economies, yet they are always brushed under the mat when it comes to voting time.

Large nations are forced to comply with resolutions that their countries may not agree with, and their only alternative is to leave the United Nations and endure the wrath that follows such a decision.

I propose that by removing the United Nations from power, we can bring democracy back to the world. Is it really democracy if other countries are ruling you?

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Relax

Proposed by: Tinashowa

Description: A law to relax laws against carrying, concealing guns and relaxing laws about the obtaining of a license. All my reasoning will come after all the laws. NONE OF THE FOLLOWING PERTAINS TO ANYTHING OF THE EXPLOSIVE NATURE.

1)Relaxing and making it easier to get a gun and license.
a)Make it easier to obtain a gun and license for adults, as long as the gun does not have a firing rate of faster than 1 bullet per second. This would be useful for self-defense. Many people illegally have guns, and even if they stop a dangerous criminal, they may be faced with a fine or jail time. To prevent a child from stealing a gun, simply use a gun lock or install some kind of fail-safe. Later, adults should be tested and allowed to obtain faster firing guns. To obtain a gun with a firing rate faster than 2 shots per second, you would have to be recommended and called on specifically, and will train with a team of experts. Category: Gun Control

Decision: Relax

Proposed by: Tinashowa

Description: b)Allow minors to obtain guns. These minors would have to be over the age of 11, since 12+ are at a weak emotional state and are more likely to go berserk, so other kids can stop them. These minors should have to be tested, and should be psychologically evaluated,and the test should be difficult enough to reject 50% of the applicants. People who like american rap and want to be 50 Cent cannot get guns. Minors who pass should only be able to obtain a-single-shot-per- pull-of-the-trigger gun. Later, minors who passed can take tests to be allowed to obtain faster firing and more powerful guns, but the tests will be extremely rigerous. To obtain a gun with a firing rate faster than 2 shots per second, you would have to be recommended and called on specifically, and will train with a team of experts. Also, parents will be more inclined to be nice to their child.

c) This boost in gun production and buying, a nations economy can be helped as well. Tests will cost money, EXCEPT for the one for an over 2 shot per second gun. Category: Gun Control

Decision: Relax

Proposed by: Tinashowa

Description: 2)Carrying and concealing guns
a)Adults should be able to carry weapons after they take a seperate small, easy test (and for a concealed weapons a more difficult test), otherwise, the guns will be useless. The police and government will have a list of all people with permits.

b) Minors with gun licenses can also gain unconcealed and concealed weapon carrying permits. However, for school, minors would have to take a much more difficult test and phychoanalysis, to make sure they don't shoot kids or teachers (teachers are advised to wear kevlar). If someone thinks they're in danger, they can call for police protection. A team of specially selected minors (to be called a Magma team [queitly comes from below, then explodes out]) will be selected and trained with military and Spec Ops teams, and will be used for domestic problem resolution (ex. a team of heavily armed minors take over the school and kill anyone with a gun). This team will have to consist of minors who were selected for fast firing guns. They are not forced, but if they join they are sworn to secrecy. Category: Gun Control

Decision: Relax

Proposed by: Tinashowa

Description:
REASONING
This law may sound preposterous, but ponder this. I do not deny there will be many more incidents, BUT the incidents will be smaller, with less casualties. I would like to cite the Long Island Subway incident. A man walked into a subway and started firing a gun. He fired off a clip, reloaded and shot again. It was not until someone grabbed him from behind that he stopped. If lets say two other people had guns, he could have been shot while reloading, and would have killed only half the people he did. While this would deny the government the satisfaction of showing the people that the government is all-powerful, crime would drop like a stone. But why, you might say, should we give minors guns? I would like to now cite the Colombine School incident. If a "Magma" team was present, or simply some kids had guns, many less people would have died. Also, children are somehow always beneath peoples gazes, and sometimes have ingenuity adults do not. So, while quantity of incidents would go up, the overall casualties would go down.

Please read and approve this proposal, for the good of all. A four part proposal,:rolleyes: the chance of this entire thing passing is either slim or none, and slim's packing his bags. Not to mention the RL references in part 4.

Description: RECOGNISING that a child can survive and live a normal healthy life after just 20 weeks of pregnancy,

UNDERSTANDING that in certain cases, a nation state may believe abortion to be just, and that they believe it to be acceptable in some circumstances.

I PROPOSE that the limit for an abortion be reduced to 6 weeks under normal circumstances. Under extreme circumstances, this could be stretched to 10 weeks, although at this point, it is scientifically proven that the Foetus (Fetus) is able to feel pain.

JUSTIFICATION for this is that most women (93.4%) are aware of their pregnancy within the first 6 weeks, and nearly all (99.2%) are aware within 10 weeks. There is no need to cause unnecessary suffering to the unborn child. Any woman that does not wish to keep their child after the pregnancy can be given state support throughout the pregnancy and the child can then be put up for adoption. Illegal, contradicts the Abortion rights resolution.

I come to you in wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. For too long the west has divided us, common people, to acheive thier own political ends. Eastern Europe has been ravaged by poverty, war, ethnic cleansing, and disease. After the Communist Bloc fell, the people of Russia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland, and all the other nations that flourished during the time of Communism are now left with nothing. Russia is but a shadow of its former glory. Let no man deny the perils of our time. We battle and debate with each other, divided by the petty strife of our common history. The tide of a greater conflict is against us, the tide of all our war between the east and west. The tides of an un-winnable war are against us, and we must seek refuge on higher ground lest we be sweapt away by the flood! In unity lies strength, the strength to prevail over the evils of Capitalism and Facism! To all the enemies of Communism, seek not to bar our way, for we will win through no matter the cost! This one's just one big RL reference.

Governments Provide for Needs
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Derekfarnam

Description:
Every single human being on the face of this planet has a few basic material needs: shelter, food, water, air, and health. If every single person did not have to spend all their time and effort providing these needs for themselves and their families, the standard of living would be astoundingly high. We would be able to devote more time to the important aspects of our lives such as religion, entertainment, our moral values, politics, and technology.

SHELTER: Every Nation in the United Nations must provide sufficient housing to every family within its borders. Adequate housing is defined as follows: one bedroom per person and two bathrooms, one kitchen, one dining room, and at least one other room in every house.
FOOD: Every Nation in the United Nations must provide sufficient food to every person within its borders. Adequate food as defined as follows: three meals per day per person, totaling at least 2000 calories per day per person.
WATER: Every Nation in the United Nations must provide sufficient, clean water to every person within its borders. Adequate water is defined as follows: plumbing to every house and good facilities in public places, with water being no less than 98.9 percent H2O, the rest being minerals that have been determined necessary by reputable scientists.
AIR: Every Nation in the United Nations must provide clean air to every person within its borders. Sufficient air is defined as follows: about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon, and small amounts of other gasses, no harmful amounts of any gas. Every Nation in the United Nations shall reduce carbon emissions by seven percent every year, until world-wide emissions are sixty-six percent less than they are currently.
HEALTH: Every Nation in the United Nations must provide sufficient healthcare and sanitation to every person within its borders. Adequate healthcare is defined as follows: Every person that desires it shall receive any medication they need and emergency operations as fast as possible. Adequate sanitation is defined as follows: good garbage services, good sewage system, and a clean environment. Every Nation shall enforce littering fees.

If any Nation in the United Nations should find itself unable to follow these guidelines due to a lack of funding, it can apply for monetary aid from their fellow UN members. Look at that Air section again. 78 + 21 + 1 = 100. Where are these other gasses supposed to fit in? Note the utter lack of CO2; what are plants supposed to breathe? How are we supposed to exhale?

Rights to partake in Ice Cream

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Mar Tortugas

Description: The General Assembly of the United Nations,

RECOGNIZING that as long as you use the words "recognizing" and "realizing" and "understanding" in all caps before every statement in a long resolution ensures that everyone will take it as legitimate and vote for it

COMPREHENDING that this way of typing is viewed as completly nessecary and those resolutions that don't use that format or are worded in a way that is less that 250 words long generally disreguarded

REALIZING that all bills that go to a entire U.N. up-or-down vote generally pass unless it's a conterversial issue like abortion or stem-cell research

UNDERSTANDING that the main basis for getting votes is that it's longly worded and drawn out and repeated over and over to get everyone's attention and make it look like the writer of said bill knows what they're talking about.

COMPREHENDING that odds are that within 2 weeks time there will be 35 resolutions trying to repeal any given resolution passed.

NOTING that pork bills like this get passed all the time and that this one might as wellget passed to, because of the presumed belief that the united nations has the time and consideration to enact ordances that aren't worth time and consideration

WILLING to admit that in many resolutions there are little sections like this that have nothing to do with the rest of the resolution or are blatant tangents that are added to make one's self look fancy due to the long elegant writing

AGREEING that in recent weeks and months, U.N. resolutions have been growing increasingly and alarmingy useless, full of flaws and fallicies, and completely unnessesary, and

WILLING to take advantage of that,

the United Nations
HEREBY PROPOSES:

A.) That Ice Cream Will become Available to all citizens of All U.N. Nations in the Next 60 Days, and subsequently that availability must never taken away.

B.) That the Right to partake in ice cream shall NEVER be revoked, even in times of famine and meteor shower.

C. That anyone of any creed, color, gender, or nationality who overtly denies these rights will be persecuted to the fullest extent of international law

To briefly hijack the thread, and cause dissent, I actually don't like it, or find it funny. They have a problem with using formal resolution language? Well...how else do they suggest we set out resolutions? IC/OC clauses clearly label intent and avoid the wooliness of essay-style 'I think we should all...' proposals. They don't make any specific references: a few resolutions have been crap? I happen to agree, but it doesn't make it a blanket statement of fact.

To me, their proposal smacks of the self-same arrogance that they are presumably attempting to attack in other legislation authors.

The only problem I have with this on a legal basis is the strength violation. Had it also included Frozen Yogurt, Italian Ice and all other directly-edible frozen products, it might have been Significant. As it limits itself to Ice Cream, I can't see it being more than Mild.

Drug Use to Advance Thinking

A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.

Category: Recreational Drug Use

Decision: Promote

Proposed by: Chimeric Regions

Description: This resolution encourage and legalizes the creation of a global facility in which artists, writers, songwriters, and innovative thinkers in all fields can apply to utilize thought-altering substances to form new ideas. This resolution, if accepted, will allow the facility to open in the near future. Construction and preparations for this facility would be made as a joint effort by all supporting nations, and the he system would work on a grant application purpose where annually a predesignated number of thinkers in each field and from each participating nation would access various substances in non-harmful amounts until the period of time is out. At this point the artists or other thinkers will both be allowed time to put their various drug-induced revelations into a coherent form and also take part in a therapy and rehabilitation course after which they will return to their home nation. This system would allow the expansion of thought in arts and philosophy, hopefully adding to "quality-of-life" for people throughout the world. There is no doubt that these substances, while dangerous, can and have, provided insight for masters of the arts. As another benifit, this center would be in need of these substances and could buy them from their producers. This would redirect sales from those who would abuse the substances, and would also provide a legitimate job for otherwise ostracized drug-producers.

RECOGNIZING that tuned senses and a quick reaction time are necessities for road safety,

INFERS that senior citizens, with the two main disadvantages of possible lack of driver's education and declined reaction time and senses, may be more likely to cause automobile wrecks and should be required to submit to the following:

1) All citizens over 60 are required by law to go through a mandatory driving test every three years, conducted by a DMV or any motor related government branch.
2) A test will be required with in one month of the citizen's birthday. If no birthday is on record they will be required to take the test within one month following the beginning of that year.
3) If the driver fails the test, the citizen will lose their license and no longer have permission to drive an automobile. If the driver wishes to repeal this they must send a complaint to the local judicial system. If not then the driver may retake the course within one year.
4) If the citizen signs up for and fails to attend the aformentioned 3 year license renewal test, the citizen will pay a fine for the first offense, and on the second offense will serve a jail sentance of up to one month.

The question, therefore, is not only "what is she doing with a gun?", but also "shouldn't you be fixing a telephone?"

Maybe there is like a squirrel or a rat who is damaging the phone, and she is gonna take care of it?

Or maybe her army is the same as the Australian army. My father was in the medical corps for 20 years and still had to learn how to use a gun. Every few years he had to do a refresher course and was taught how to use the latest weapons. Even those doing benign behind the lines stuff still had to do the soldier stuff too.

But it's not nearly as disturbing if it's smaller. :(

Regional Oasis

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Ashokan

Description: I think we should create a regional environment of peace a sort of 'Nirvana' for all a peacefull place not ruled by a corrupt regional delegate.
When I was in the region of indie music the regional delegate Ankhmet told me if I didn't endorse it I would be thrown out the region so I did but spoke up against it challenging leadership only to be thrown out for posing a 'threat'. This treatment is unacceptable for is not our delgate supposed to represent all nations not oppressively rule them and force them to comply with what the delegate wants making him a supreme master mind. My fellow members of the UN I have had to make my own Nirvana in the form of the region of Bloc Party. I vote for making peace in all nations and snuffing out the candle of faschism.

Illegal, and this needs to be a UN resolution why?

Repeal "The Sex Industry Worker Act"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #91

Proposed by: Kawlamala

Description: UN Resolution #91: The Sex Industry Worker Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNISING that this act is in direct contravention with Resolution 87, the repeal of "Legalising prostitution", making both in effect useless and providing no clarity on the topic,

ACKNOWLEDGING the many risks and problems caused by prostitution throughout UN nations,

RECOGNISING the often violent and threatening forces compelling citizens to offer themselves to the 'profession', and that the choice described in resolution #91 generally does not exist,

It is proposed that resolution #91 is repealed - the contradiction in these articles is unhelpful and wasteful, and a disgrace to the United Nations. While the UN remains undecided, an increasing number of young people are being forced into this vile situation. There must be other ways provided to survive.

Approvals: 6 (DC Plus Plus, PostEUBritain, Flibbleites, Dorksonia, Xanthal, NewTexas)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 122 more approvals)

Voting Ends: Mon Oct 31 2005
Someone who doesn't know what a repeal is and does, and obviously hasn't read the resolution he wants to repeal properly either.
