¹ Our thanks to Ambassador Fungschlammer for pointing out the existing relevant WA agency.
² Neutralised the language here and clarified the intent of calling upon the committee in the first place, the former change requested by Ambassador Hornwood.
³ Expanded and refined the mandate of the committee, including suggestions from the delegates of DSR, Bananaistan, and Normlpeople.
⁴ Moved the loathesome age barrier back, also at the suggestion from Ambassador Hornwood.
⁵ Another idea posited by the Dark Star Republic.
⁶ Some stronger language proposed by Linux and the X.

"Right," says Alexandra, posting her delegation's latest effort at international legislation for all to see. "It's not much, but it's a start."

"I agree," replies Rowan after a sip of her Fae Honeywine. "It seems one of the more vocal legitimate complaints against our previous effort was a preference for sexual education. Let us see if the community at large is really so dedicated to this cause, or if it was just so much complaining to make noise."

I'll support sans the funny acronym.

OOC: Completely opposed while it has that acronym.

by **Eireann Fae** » Sun Mar 02, 2014 4:36 pm

"That's hilarious comin' from you, Eddie!"

Rowan snickers. "If it is that big a bone of contention, we may change the name of the committee and its acronym. We did get 'BABY' into our Reproductive Freedoms resolution, but that was admittedly much more subtle..."

This. Love the acronym.

Though, honestly I do wonder at whether I can support this. Not because I oppose the content, but because I don't think the WA should be tied up in explaining how hide the salami works...it hardly seems an international issue.

Having said that, the irony of teenagers make silly innuendos over WA publications and committees, should this pass, is delightful, present company being what it is.

"We thank the Ambassadors Chombers and Bell for your appreciation of the acronym. We share your sentiment that not everything codified into law needs to be dour and serious, so long as the effects of the legislation act with the full force of their intent. The light-hearted acronym we wish to include in this proposal in no way diminishes from the importance of the topic at hand, nor does it take away from the effects of the legislation should this proposal pass."

"That said, if there are too many damp spirits within this body to allow our proposal to pass with a small bit of humour, we will, as stated, change the name of the committee to reflect a more serious acronym. In the meantime, we welcome more comments on the effects of our proposal, both in spirit and wording. As I have just mentioned, the name of the committee and its acronym is completely inconsequential to what the committee does. Feel free to express your disdain for the acronym as Sir Eduard has; such comments will help us gauge the chances of this proposal passing with the text in place (not to mention show us just how few light-hearted individuals there really are in the Festering Snakepit). But please do try to also comment on the text of the draft as a whole."

At risk of being called a person with no sense of humor

, I would have to agree with Unibot and QoD. There are acronyms done right and there are acronyms done wrong. For an example of good humor I'd point to Bear's Promotion of Bee-keeping where the first letter of each clause spells out 'Honey'. Conversely, for an example of bad humor look no further than the resolution at vote; Cultural Site Preservation's creation of WATCH which comes off as cheesy.

In this case, I feel the acronym SECKS trivializes the issue (especially the way it is used in your second clause) and would detract from the important issue you are trying to legislate. Case in point, most of the discussion hitherto talked about this acronym, rather than the resolution clauses themselves. It is a distraction for anyone reading the piece.

Without going too deeply into the clauses myself, I'll just mention in passing that the current draft might be in breach of the committee rule, since every single clause except the last (which is a clarification) refers to the committee.

We are opposed to this. We feel this amounts to WA brainwashing on sexual behavior and norms, resulting in gravitation toward the lowest common sexual denominator. There are no age restrictions on access to this "research", so we read the resolution to mean that our nation would have to provide open access to vivid details about sexual function, dysfunction, and deviance to infants and small children (the REQUIRES clause does not state that individuals need access to age-appropriate curriculum, but to the WA's "research"--which is either sloppy writing or refers to the underlying, unfiltered research conducted to support the curriculum, not just the superficie).

So this proposal is supposed to come from the same international body that "opposes" child pornography, sexual abuse, and sex trafficking? Just wait till this resolution kicks in and five year olds start dressing dominatrix-style everywhere ("hey, I saw it on the WA-provided website--which by law my parents cannot block--it's what the cool older kids are wearing, right?"). Yeah, no one will take ever advantage of those children. Why is the WA getting between parents and their children, dictating what children should be learning and exposed to?

We cannot help but smirk, though, to see that this has come from the delegates from Eireann Fae. Seems they've got sex on the brain. The immature acronym (OOC: which sounds a little like it came from an Adam Sandler film) supports this conclusion. Just get a room, faeries. Don't punish children and families across the WA for your over-eroticism.

Alas EF, as much as we do enjoy the acronym and share your view that the WA can spare a jovial moment or two, the reality is the great Daisuki does have a point here too.

We're still on the fence as to whether the unalloyed good of teaching sex education to young people in poor and/or socially ashamed countries outweighs the annoyance and burden imposed on countries that already have top-notch sex-ed programs of having to re-work and re-certify such programs.

But if the hysterical shame-and-sin campaign is spinning up against this, and we didn't act to counter its lurid imaginings, laugh at its mass condemnations, and paint a great mural of imagination and wonder in the face of its dourness and misery and just general hatred of joy, the voters would throw us out on our fat worthless asses, and rightly so. You've got our vote, Madam Ambassador, silly acronym or no silly acronym.

by **Eireann Fae** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 3:14 pm

"Yall a bunch of haters," proclaims Alex, as Rowan posts a copy of a revised draft for further discussion. "Try to have just a little bit of a sense of humour, please!"

"It is not that big a deal, really..."

"It is to me," the older girl mutters as she takes her seat.

Rowan shakes her head, then smiles as she addresses the delegate representing the Goddess Relieve Office. "We disagree with your interpretation of the Secretariat's ruling with regard to committees. As we understand it, that restriction would only prevent us from enacting legislation that solely creates a committee, and does nothing else. One of the active clauses still mentions the committee, but it also requires Member Nations to do something. If you feel that strongly about it, there is plenty of room in our proposal for an active clause that makes no mention of the committee, if you have any suggestions..."

The girl rolls her eyes as she turns her attention to the Spokesmunk in the room. "Ambassador, if your nation has infants capable of gaining access to the CSE and reading their research, we daresay they might just be ready for such information. We disagree with your ridiculous notion that infants and toddlers are going to actively seek out such information as this and then turn into Alexandra--"

"Hey!"

"--but as you are likely not alone in your inane delusions, we have agreed to restrict access of the information to those past the threshold of majority. For the record, though, the requirement was for the national governments to not block access to information - it makes no mention of what filters parents may or may not enable. Regarding 'sex on the brain', as I mentioned while posting the first draft, this proposal is a direct response to much of the opposition to our recently passed Reproductive Freedoms resolution. We would much rather be working on Consent of Cosmetic Procedures or Freedom From Violence. However, as this is a topic that came up rather frequently during the debate of our previous effort, we felt it was prudent to try and address the issue as soon as possible. You can thank our opposition for putting us in this position."

Smiling, Rowan addresses another issue. "We thank Ambassador Gutierrez-Baradikov for your support, but due to the overwhelming opposition to the acronym, we have indeed changed it to the much more boring 'CSE'. We considered working 'SAFE' in there somehow, but doubt that would have gone over much better than the neutral choice we opted for in the end." She casts her gaze around the chamber. "Now that the name of the committee should be a non-issue, can we please move on to discussing the rest of the proposal?"

by **Bananaistan** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 3:56 pm

The Government of Bananaistan regrets that we cannot of yet offer our support for this resolution. We would need to be convinced about the lack of either an age restriction or a specification that material is age appropriate. We do not feel that the innocence of pre pubescent children should be disregarded. We now feel that you have gone too far by including "threshold of majority". Waiting until individuals are adults is a bit late in our opinion and would significantly hamstring the resolution. We feel almost all beings would benefit from some instruction at the onset of puberty in order to prepare them for their adolescent years and avoid the pitfalls associated with a deficit of knowledge and experience allied with a surplus of hormones.

Our second issue is the narrowness of the actual education supplied. The consequences of sexual activity should merely be one of many aspects of sex education. Equal emphasis should be given to the right of an individual to sexual autonomy and we feel this is particularly relevant where the education is provided to children or adolescents through normal schooling means.

While it is not a major issue, we feel the use of the word consequences has rather negative connotations. We would feel a more neutral word such as outcomes may be more appropriate.

We are baffled by the inclusion of the phrase "advising Member Nations on known or imminent threats to their populace due to unrestricted sexual activity;". Perhaps you could explain your thoughts on this?

by **Eireann Fae** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 4:30 pm

"Ambassador Hornwood, we would be delighted to move the age barrier back a bit with regards to access to the CSE. Having such a restriction there in the first place is a rather distasteful compromise, and we agree that drawing the line at sexual maturity rather than a threshold of majority, if such a line ought to be drawn at all, would be more appropriate. We shall add this to our items of consideration, to be included in the next revision. We also agree with your points regarding knowledge of sexual autonomy and softening of the language used. As we understand it, 'consequences' is lexicologically neutral, but you are probably right in your assertion that it is generally viewed as a negative term."

"Regarding the 'imminent threats' subclause, we feel that as long as the CSE is studying sexual biology, sociology, and... outcomes... they may be quick to notice a dangerous trend before it becomes a real problem - the outbreak of a particularly malicious sexually transmitted infection, for instance, or a rise in troubling sexual behaviour among the populace. I would rather not get into details on the latter bit, but will elaborate if necessary. We could remove the clause if consensus here wills it - it is not the most pressing matter in our proposal."

by **Normlpeople** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 7:33 pm

Clover addresses the Fae delegate "While I can appreciate the humor of the acronym previously mentioned, I do feel some of the more serious delegations may not, and dismiss the proposal as childish based on just that. I do suggest changing it.

That said, I like what I see so far. May I make a suggestion to add the teaching of birth control methods (and their proper use) to the proposed curriculum? I feel they would be helpful in achieving the overall goals of this resolution"

by **Chester Pearson** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 8:03 pm

Are you serious? Now the WA has to mandate on how we teach sexual education? Please get a grip on reality....

OPPOSED!!

by **Pacifist Chipmunks** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 8:45 pm

Eireann Fae wrote:"Ambassador, if your nation has infants capable of gaining access to the CSE and reading their research, we daresay they might just be ready for such information. We disagree with your ridiculous notion that infants and toddlers are going to actively seek out such information as this and then turn into Alexandra--"

1) "Actively seek out" is not what your proposal said. It required nations to "allow individuals unrestricted access". Last time we checked, parental controls were a restriction on an individual. How exactly did you interpret a requirement to "allow unrestricted access" without it precluding parental restrictions?

2) If nations are not allowed to impose restrictions on access, then accidental discovery or exposure from older siblings or friends is entirely plausible. In fact, it might be inevitable in at least some cases. There is nothing in the proposal that requires research to be excessively esoteric, inaccessible to young children, or somehow impossible for an older sibling to read it to a younger sibling.

3) Why would you suggest that the capacity to access or read sex research is somehow correlated to sexual maturity? If a young child could access and understand the research, how does that make it appropriate for him or her to be exposed to overtly sexual material? Is your nation the Kinsey-ite Republic of Eireann Fae? The flippancy with which you conflate these two ideas does not bode well for this proposal.

Also, do not credit us for the age of majority change: it was not our idea. We merely pointed out a weakness intrinsic to this sort of proposal, a weakness we ultimately do not believe your proposal will be able to overcome. This is an attempt at international legislation that deals with an issue that we feel is just not amenable to one-size-fits-all legislation.

by **Apollonesia** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:04 pm

Ambassador Anna Palaiologou lays her head in her hand and looks at the Fae delegation condescendingly. "Ah, yet another piece of legislation which would allow the WA to overstep its bounds again."

OPPOSED.

by **The Dark Star Republic** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 3:47 am

"I'm really not sure I buy the sovereigntist argument on this one. The WA has forced all countries to legalise incest and abortion, has several times tried to legalise prostitution, and has generally taken the most expansive possible view of sexual freedoms. I would argue the WA has clearly incurred a moral responsibility to promote sex education.

"I realize some of those opposed to this proposal are opposed to all those other laws, and we'd likely vote for some of their repeal too, but we try to take a view that encompasses precedent.

"That said, I don't really think this proposal is in good shape at present. The main substantive clause - 'REQUIRES' - simply duplicates the existing provisions of Freedom to Read and Learn; whatever the merits of creating the CSE, once it is created, persons in the WA already have the right to access its information.

"The subsequent clauses are essentially optional: and thus, I feel, ducking the moral responsibility of the WA to require a certain level of sex education. If the concern is with meddling with domestic education policy, then I would suggest a wording that permits nations to allow such teaching in the family or community environment instead of as part of formal schooling.

"On the CSE, I'm not sure I see the need for a new committee, so long as it has such limited powers. If this is all it is to do, just add to the portmanteau of the GIBE; sex education definitely falls under the mantra of basic education. I'd rather the CSE had more expanded functions, such as researching safe sex methods, researching teaching methods, epidemiological research, distribution of resources, and coordination of international efforts, but as it stands, it really doesn't serve much that couldn't be easily folded into the existing WA bureaucracy.

"We vote - meh."

(OOC: Sorry, running out of time. I thought there was a post listing existing GA committees but couldn't find one, and didn't want to pore over 285 previous resolutions. Thanks for pointing out the existence of GIBE, I'll just seek to expand their mandate. More responses to above posts and a new draft will hopefully come tomorrow.)

by **Sciongrad** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 12:45 pm

Sciongrad supports World Assembly involvement on matters of sexual education and awareness, but we feel that this proposal, in its current state, doesn't adequately accomplish that goal. I especially dislike the clarifies clause, which defeats the whole purpose of the resolution - or it would, if it had any substantive content. I would suggest you make the "recommends" clause a mandatory operative verb. Furthermore, if you're going to create a bureaucracy, I would use it for something worthwhile. I think that incorporating ambassador Fungschlammer's suggestions in this regard may be worthwhile.

"I'd vote for it," Rep. Jovian Maliet confirms.

by **Elke and Elba** » Wed Mar 05, 2014 4:05 am

"Alex, I know you've been a really great champion of reproductive rights around here. But this draft... I can't accept it. Why force the CSE to actually come out with an education curriculum which will only have a 'one-size-fits-all' purpose? You do know well, the Faeries are rather different in how they copulate et cetera, as compared to humans and bears. I'd support one which actually suggests and plans curriculum based on both scientific facts and the country's population's specific needs, rather than force upon all of us a set standard on how to bloody behave based on a set curriculum set upon by this resolution.

As for legality, a GHR will probably get this down as GRO has mentioned. I remember Ard or someone else mentioned that a good way to gauge was to remove the committee and see what is left of the draft. Clearly, it doesn't.

I can't say for sure I'd be approving of any further drafts of this proposal seeing its current form, sadly."

"I agree with this resolution as long as it does not teach that abortion should be a primary option when sexual activity is partaken in. I don't necessarily care if it's discouraged, I just don't want it to be encouraged that people get abortions."
