[Draft] Ban on Child Exposure to Porn

[Charlotte Ryberg]

There is concern that this draft may conflict with Resolution GA #19 because some member states may interpret that letting children view explicit pornography may be illegal (1a). Also, the strength is too harsh (should be mild).

[Progressive Union]

U.S.E hates this proposal cause it's takes away parents rights to raise there children and it is intrusive to media and privacy of a nations citizen. Our media will never be in the hands of the WA it's sick and wrong plus porn is nautral and apart of human nature(just like eating and sleeping). Our country will never follow the religous extermists laws do it in your own country and leave the rest of us out.

The Commonwealth of the Progressive Union agrees with the U.S.E. This proposal doesn't only violate the sovereignty of member nations, which I KNOW is allowed by the nation becoming a member; but it violates the fundamental rights of parents to raise their children how they want.

I am SOUNDLY against this proposal.

No. It's not conflicting at all actually. I just pointed out that if a nation has a problem with children viewing or being shown explicit pornography, then the nation can consider it abusive to show explicit pornography to a child and pass laws to that effect. Then it'll be covered by the Child Protection Act as an illegal act. The Child Protection Act doesn't ban the showing of pornography to a child though.

This proposal doesn't only violate the sovereignty of member nations, which I KNOW is allowed by the nation becoming a member; but it violates the fundamental rights of parents to raise their children how they want.

And the right of the child to watch porn if they want to, but people tend not to care about their rights anyway.

Tezdrian condemns this proposal.

[IduC]

"We find this proposal ill thought out and lacking in many areas. To the best of our admittedly not necessarily completely informed understanding, the trenchant points of this proposal can be handled by such resolutions as are already in place and national level legal affairs." The young ambassadress to the World Assembly. Kaye Sirrah said softly but firmly "His Serenity has requested that I relay our nations refusal to support this proposal"

She then sat down abruptly, feeling the weight of others eyes upon her, a brief rosy blush staining her fair cheeks.

[Doctor Cyclops]

This is absolute madness. In the Domain, we have a comprehensive sex education curriculum that incorporates accurate and detailed media depicting the entire process from coitus to live birth.

As a consequence we have eliminated teenage pregnancy and STDs. This is an effective program, but your own petty moralistic standards would no doubt call it "pornographic."

"Defines pornography as any form of media in which their is any form of any sexual act."

Absurd. Utterly, profoundly absurd. This draft is the product of a truly diseased mind. The Domain has no need for someone who looks upon his own genitals with horror to dictate our educational curricula.

[Cinistra]

In Cinistra sexual activities including minors (persons below the age of 16) is forbidden. Rape and snuff is forbidden. The explicit transmission of those crimes in media is, thus, also forbidden. However, the Cinistran government encourages education in all aspects of life, also sexuality. Thus, our children are exposed to sexual education in our schools. This includes the showing of explicit sexual activities (like sexual intercourse) in classrooms by the means of films someone want to label "pornographic". The Cinistran government therefore sees no need to censor media showing sexual activities with people above the age of 16. We therefore strongly object this proposal. The Cinistran govt. knows best what is appropriate for its citizens, not the overly puritan WA bureaucrats.

[Qumkent]

Perhaps before going to elaborate lengths to try and redraft this statute the honoured Ambassador for Bergovinaia might like to first decide if the issue it deals with is of a truly international nature, and perhaps they might like to finish drafting some of their other resolutions which currently litter the halls of this organisation.

Ah I do so enjoy watching younger nations trod over the minefield that is Moral Decency.

While I agree that the best place to teach our younger citizens about sex might not be the local porn store. I wholeheartedly disagree with the premise that international law should regulate what is good and bad for them to look at, and remind the good intentioned ambassador that one person's pornography is another person's art and it's is FAR out of this bodies domain to dictated which view is correct.

Further, I echo the sentiments of my other esteemed colleagues that a good place to begin with is a definition of pornography, but caution the ambassador that, with that definition he better batten down the hatches and be ready for lively debate.

As it stands now however we can't not support this resolution.

[Draft] Ban on Child Exposure to Porn

Category: Moral Decency
Strength: Strong

The World Assembly,

Disgusted that in certain nations parents allow access to pornography to the children;

Realizing that such media can scar children and potentialy sitfle childhood develpoment;

Recognizing that some may consider the exposure a form of sexual education and orientation;

Acknowledging that members that belong to the age of majority in said nation may have access to pornography for their entertainment;

Further acknowledging that some member nations have a large pornography industry and that this bill could deliver a substantial hit to said nations industry;

Believing that outlawing the exposure of pornography to members in a nation who are less than the age of majority would benefit our international community’s moral decency;

Hereby,

Defines pornography as any form of media in which their is any form of any sexual act.

1. Mandates that Member States shall:
a) Deny all forms of pornography to members who are less than the age of majority.
b) Provide sexual education courses to parents who are suggesting that pornography was their form of education.
2. These will not effect in any respect the pornography industry’s rights to allow access to members of any nation who are above the age of majority.

It is not the governments right, nor the WA's right, to say what the populace can and can not view.

OOC oops I didn't notice that Cinistra had Gravedug this I wouldn't have bothered my arse with it oterwise.

[Chequizia]

I strongly oppose this bill, but you have left so much information out, that the bill wouldn't be effective. I think you should keep this law to yourself in your own country, and stop trying to force it on all the members of the World Assembly.

[Philimbesi]

OCC: Crap. Sorry.
