[BRAINSSS] UNDEAD PROTECTION ACT

Postby Talkistan » Tue Oct 29, 2013 1:42 am

Undead Protection Act

The World Assembly,

RECOGNIZING that living peoples of the world feel threatened by the undead, also colloquially known as "zombies"

NOTING that the undead are often segregated and/or killed by the masses

ALSO NOTING that attempts are made to "treat" the undead against their wishes, which is against the principle of ethical medical practice

UNDERSTANDING that even animals (both domesticated and wild) have better protections in the law

FEELING that this amounts at best to discrimination and at worst to an attempt at genocide of former citizens

HEREBY
1. bans the deliberate killing, injuring or segregation of any undead former citizen by any member nation without a full judicial trial and other legal rights afforded to citizens
2. bans the killing, injuring or segregation of any undead minor within a nation's borders
3. requires an informed written consent before treating an undead person, ensuring treatment, if given, is voluntary
4. requires that the undead of a nation being sent on vacation outside the nation's borders be given a national passport and reasonable monetary funds to last them for the duration of their trip.



I originally posted this as a joke proposalbefore Ard created the Zombie Proposals sticky. So, I thought I'd get in on the act

Very strongly opposed. Be advised that if your nation chooses to join forces with the zombies, we will respond with military force.

I am not siding with the zombies... I'm merely hoping that they'll leave me alone if I defend their rights.

Being biased towards the greener, living grass, I am opposed.

However, if this were to go to the floor, you would probably need to find some universal determination of whether a reanimated "carophage" or "cerebrophage", if you will, actually wants to be cured or not.
Also, banning the killing of a group known for violence and attempted and successful homocide is not going to earn your proposal brownie points. Self defense will stand.
And finally, sending creatures who's basest desire is to eat brains(EDIT: or flesh) outside of your country (and paying them) seems a lot like an unconventional military tactic and would probably be poorly received in the intended vacation location.

I have here a statement from Prime Minister Layston:

Any government that chooses to side with these rampaging hordes shall be considered a terrorist regime by The Federation. At this time we have sealed our borders, and recalled most of our forces from their current deployments. Any nation found trying to infect the people of our nation, shall face the full wrath of our military forces, up to and including our nuclear forces.

Consider yourselves warned,

From the Zombie Control page, under "Cure Missiles":

Cure Missiles allow you to bombard neighboring nations with long-range chemical weapons, converting their zombies into survivors.

Under the terms of the "Chemical Weapons Protocol" we all are in violation and need to be condemned for using them in an offensive manner.

"Chemical agent" shall be defined as any substance that is capable of causing death or severe harm to a person, plant, animal, a habitable area or to the environment, primarily through its toxic chemical properties,


These weapons are curing, not causing death, and therefore would be exempted under the Chemical Weapons Protocol, but nice try......
