[PASSED] Repeal "Legalizing Prostitution"

Postby Alqania » Wed Oct 26, 2011 7:10 pm

"Hello, I am Lord Raekevik, I represent the Queendom of Alqania and this is my first proposal.

Ever since Resolution #167, "Legalizing Prostitution" was passed, the Queendom has wanted to repeal it on the grounds that it is terribly written. We note with concern that a previous attempt to repeal this resolution was defeated at vote and that the other repeals that have been drafted rather than removing contentious sections have continued to include the moralistic arguments that have failed to reach the support of the majority.

Believing that this resolution will be repealed not from high horses but from a proper dissemination of the resolution, as it is flawed beyond that which is usually seen in international law, this repeal of ours is focused on the poor quality and loopholes of the resolution. We have based it on statements that we have previously made in the many debating sessions regarding "Legalizing Prostitution".

The Queendom supports the replacement drafted by Snefaldia and Mousebumples, titled "Banning Sex Trafficking".

This being said, I humbly submit this repeal to the World Assembly."


Repeal "Legalizing Prostitution"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#167

Proposed by: Alqania

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #167: Legalizing Prostitution (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:

APPLAUDS this resolution's intention of reducing barriers to free trade and commerce and improving the legal protection sapient beings have from abuse and disease and to further their civil rights,

REGRETS that this resolution equates the criminalization of prostitution with the criminalization of prostitutes, which may lead to incorrect assumptions with regards to the effects of criminalization,

AFFIRMS that the age, fame, infamy or notoriety of an act, practice or profession is not, and should not be, considered in itself a valid basis for determining its legal status, and is rather irrelevant in the arena of international law,

NOTES that the legalization of prostitution applies to "all member states residing with the World Assembly." This can be exploited should member states define themselves as residing within their own sovereign territory rather than territory which is under direct World Assembly sovereignty. The operative clause can in this manner be rendered completely ineffective,

WORRIES that while this resolution mandates that prostitutes be made fully aware of the "health or other specific risk (sic)" connected to prostitution, no such information is required to be made available to clients. Risks to clients may include:
  • Sexually transmitted infections,
  • Other infectious diseases, such as respiratory diseases, which may be transmitted through talking, kissing or other non-sexual contact between prostitute(s) and client(s),
  • Unwanted pregnancy and parenthood,
  • Injury, death and psychological trauma,
  • Social stigma, family and work issues,
  • Robbery and blackmail,

ACKNOWLEDGES that the "Sexual Privacy Act" outlaws non-consensual sexual acts, which would include those between prostitute(s) and client(s) as well as between any other persons. Protection from non-consensual sexual acts would remain without "Legalizing Prostitution",

SPECIFIES that the confines of previously passed international law are broad enough to allow a member state to effectively stop sapient beings from working as prostitutes in spite of the operative clauses of this resolution, rendering it completely ineffective,

REALIZES that this resolution fails to take into account the diversity of economic systems among member states and specifically fails to recognize systems in which businesses operate without profit,

QUESTIONS the resolution's assertion that brothels are beneficial to the safety of the prostitute as there is no factual basis for this statement,

CONCLUDES that "Legalizing Prostitution" is flawed to the point of being ineffective and therefore fails to achieve its goals;

HEREBY:

REPEALS Resolution #167, "Legalizing Prostitution".


The World Assembly,

APPLAUDING the intent of "Legalizing Prostitution" to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce, to improve the legal protection of sapient beings from abuse and disease and to further civil rights,

CONCERNED HOWEVER that the resolution equates the criminalization of prostitution with the criminalization of prostitutes, leading to incorrect assumptions on the effects of criminalization,

AFFIRMING that the age, fame, infamy or notoriety of an act, practice or profession is not in itself any valid basis for its legal status, but rather of no relevance to international law,

RECALLING that it is the right of each member state to regulate commerce within their jurisdiction,

NOTING that the resolution's legalization of prostitution is worded to apply to "all member states residing with the World Assembly" and that this restrictive relative clause can be exploited by member states defining themselves as residing within their own sovereign territory rather than territory under direct World Assembly sovereignty to render the operative clause completely ineffective,

CONCERNED that while the resolution mandates that prostitutes be made fully aware of the health or other specific risk connected to prostitution, no such information is required to be made available to clients,

ACKNOWLEDGING that international law independent of "Legalizing Prostitution" outlaws non-consensual sexual acts, between prostitute and client as well as between any other persons,

NOTING that the confines of previously existent international law are wide enough to allow a member state to effectively stop sapient beings from becoming prostitutes in spite of "Legalizing Prostitution", rendering that operative clause completely ineffective,

FURTHER NOTING that the resolution fails to take into account the diversity of economic systems among member states, specifically systems in which businesses operate without profit,

FINDING the resolution's assertion that brothels are beneficial to the safety of the prostitute unfounded,

CONCLUDING that "Legalizing Prostitution" is flawed to the point of being ineffective and therefore fails to achieve its goals,

HEREBY repeals Resolution #167, "Legalizing Prostitution".

We don't care what the fuck is included. We support this repeal since CR's didn't go anywhere.

1-Thank you
2-What? Confusing. Are you speaking of that "we have to legalizing prostitution, but not prostitutes" nonsense?
3-What does that have to do with anything?
4-It was passed so must not have been such a problem.
5- It's already been explained by a mod that that excuse is nonsense. Nothing is wrong with the wording.
6-Prostitutes go through sex all day, clients don't which is why I found it not needed.
7-Non-consenual is rape. It was already illegal
8-You say a very bold statement and no facts to back it
9-Without profit? I guess prostitutes won't be paying then. Just adjust it to your circumstance.
10- More people, more safety. Brothels = more people more people = more safety

I'll pick your argument apart in a civil manner.

People should know if they'll get an STD from somebody. In fact, you are required to notify your sexual partners if you are found to have an STD. Brothels are mostly in conditions of slavery. This resolution is a problem since it was poorly written and anyone can loophole it away. What makes things unprofitable? Anything. Even basic regulations...

I can go on and on as well as everyone else here. Even Connopolis wants a repeal and replacement with a blocker that allows nations to ban this practice. This should have never been passed in the first place. People want this gone. Why don't you support a repeal since this is such a bad resolution?

"1. You are welcome
2. No, I am not. In the so-called 'Swedish model', prostitution is illegal but it is only the client that is a criminal; the prostitute is committing no crime.
3. It points out that the resolution's clause about how old and well known prostitution is has nothing to do with anything. Pointing out a resolution's flaws is relevant in a repeal.
4. Hmm, that has to do with your number 8. Perhaps I should move it and make that clearer.
5. Where? Please link to it.
6. You found it not needed. I think it is needed. And how do you know a client does not buy sex all day?
7. Exactly my point - thank you for repeating it.
8. See my response to your number 4.
9. The resolution outlaws regulations that make the business unprofitable, so a nation without profit can not adjust it to their circumstances.
10. Assuming people work together and help each other without taking advantage of each other. That would be an unfounded assumption."

"But of course, Lord Raekevik. I would be happy to do so. Primarily they involve the ability to tax the profession as well as basic licenses for the occupation, which the current resolution does not address at all and which we may carge fees for. Nowhere in the resolution does it say we may not charge these fees. To better point these out, I have taken the liberty of translating the addition to Dizyntk law that was put in place when the GA#167 went into effect."

We still have our laws on the books banning prostitution. We just ignore it/block enforcement since we can't even regulate it according to the unprofitable clause.

Isn't it curious how people will claim they are against tribalism, then pigeonhole themselves into tribes?

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I'll pick your argument apart in a civil manner.

People should know if they'll get an STD from somebody. In fact, you are required to notify your sexual partners if you are found to have an STD. Brothels are mostly in conditions of slavery. This resolution is a problem since it was poorly written and anyone can loophole it away. What makes things unprofitable? Anything. Even basic regulations...

I can go on and on as well as everyone else here. Even Connopolis wants a repeal and replacement with a blocker that allows nations to ban this practice. This should have never been passed in the first place. People want this gone. Why don't you support a repeal since this is such a bad resolution?

I won't support any repeal as long as your core reason is NatSov; because then nothing will satisfy you.

In this case, it is being repealed based on the faults of the resolution itself. The loopholes and such.

"1. You are welcome
2. No, I am not. In the so-called 'Swedish model', prostitution is illegal but it is only the client that is a criminal; the prostitute is committing no crime.
3. It points out that the resolution's clause about how old and well known prostitution is has nothing to do with anything. Pointing out a resolution's flaws is relevant in a repeal.
4. Hmm, that has to do with your number 8. Perhaps I should move it and make that clearer.
5. Where? Please link to it.
6. You found it not needed. I think it is needed. And how do you know a client does not buy sex all day?
7. Exactly my point - thank you for repeating it.
8. See my response to your number 4.
9. The resolution outlaws regulations that make the business unprofitable, so a nation without profit can not adjust it to their circumstances.
10. Assuming people work together and help each other without taking advantage of each other. That would be an unfounded assumption."

2- I hate that, with a passion. I think if it's gonna be illegal than both are to blame. She offered, he excepted. <===Why did she offer it in the first place?3
3- If something is world wide, well noted and both participating parties agree then obviously it helps me show Prostitution isn't that bad.
5- ....it's either in my thread or that mod's thread. I will look for it. (I think CR even explained it also)
6- If you personally think it is need than add it as your own protocol.
7- So what's your point in putting it in the repeal?
9- What happened to regulating it into your own jurisdiction?
10- When I meant safety, I spoke in terms of physical damage/i.e. Abuse. More people=more safety
