Prevention of Terrorism DRAFT.

Postby Danielturner » Thu Nov 05, 2009 7:07 pm

The Great Nations of the World Assembly,

RECOGNIZING that people can claim that they committed terrorist acts because of their religious beliefs.

PROHIBITS people committing terrorist acts based on religious beliefs.

DEFINES terrorism as an deliberate act that causes devastation to people.

KEEPS religion separate from politics.

FORCES nations to invest in better security measures to prevent terrorism.


Thoughts?

Already exists... give me a moment and I will find the resolution.

Edit: I lied. The old version was repealed so it seems to be open for a re-draft. However, this draft is lacking in content.

The UnDelegate looked up from reading the paperwork and shook his head

"My initial comment is: just how do you propose to stop people from committing these 'terrorist acts' based on religious beliefs? You can say they are prohibited all you wish, but it in no way keeps them from it. Laws don't stop criminals, and terrorists are just criminals. Most nations have laws against terrorist acts already, what makes religiously motivated ones any different, or special. And for some nations religion is politics/ the government. Are you trying to make theocracies illegal?"

“This isn’t a proposal, it’s merely a series of assertions - some fallacious – and rather meaningless comments.”

“The amount of work needed to turn this in to anything resembling a proposal is enormous, and I sincerely doubt it can be fashioned into a proper one.”

OOC: Can’t ban ideologies - ie a theocratic government ( religious government ) so keeping religion out of politics /government is a no- go

Spirituality is for people who've been there."

Right. Then it was replaced.

Um, I think you all missed the central point. We already have a terrorism resolution. Therefore, any discussion on this one is moot.

You know, bossman, maybe we should let him continue, and let Hack and his modly flamethrower deal with him once it get submitted. Besides, while he's focused on this, he'll be less likely to get involved with anything else.

I agree. I have had a terrorist attack, and I put it into a fourm. It's called Tensions Increase.

Now we're pimping threads here?

Since this is clearly duplication, I think I'll just go find my modlock.

It's around here somewhere...

And the sun and the moon refuse to burn.
But I remember a message,
In a demon's hand:
"Dread the passage of Jesus, for he does not return."
