REPEAL ON WA RES. 416 A BAN ON HUMAN SACRIFICE

Postby Violentiam » Mon Dec 11, 2017 3:29 pm

This legislation is to be sponsored by all nations interested in religious,individual, and personal freedom.






The World Assembly:

The principles of religious freedom are essential for a just and verdant world.

The General Assembly Resolution #416 violates the freedom of those who are willing out of their religious faith or cultural identity to be sacrificed.


(a)

Ritual sacrifice of human beings who consent to the given religious or cultural ceremony they are engaging in should be able to be sacrificed.

(b)

Nations must begin a regulatory process to make legal sacrifice more regulated and thus more humane for all executed participants.

(c)

The repeal of the General Assembly Resolution #416, A Ban on Ritual Sacrifice, does not repeal non-consensual sacrifices. The sacrifice of a human against his or her will is morally and humanly unconscionable.

OOC:
Legislation is illegal in a repeal and your argumentation is absurd nonsense that was soundly trounced in the original debate. Please do not try again.

Edit:
Oh, and do not use legislation as a method of advertising your region.

OOC: You cannot legislate in a repeal. Also, how on earth can regulation make sacrifice "safer for all participants"??? The goal of human sacrifice is the death of a person, how can the death of a person be made "safer" for the person that is being sacrificed?? Ludicrous.

OOC: You cannot repeal only parts of a previously passed Resolution, it is all or nothing. You cannot say "we will repeal this part, but that other part will remain on the statute books", it simply does not work like that.

"This sentence reads strangely due to ita lack of an opening clause. I would prefix a verb such as 'believing' or 'noting' to fix this."

The General Assembly Resolution #416 violates the freedom of those who are willing out of their religious faith or cultural identity to be sacrificed.

"Same principle applies here"

Ritual sacrifice of human beings who consent to the given religious or cultural ceremony they are engaging in should be able to be sacrificed.

"Illegal by the rules of this august body - legislating in a repeal."

Nations must begin a regulatory process to make legal sacrifice more regulated and thus more humane for all executed participants.

"Ditto"

The repeal of the General Assembly Resolution #416, A Ban on Ritual Sacrifice, does not repeal non-consensual sacrifices. The sacrifice of a human against his or her will is morally and humanly unconscionable.

"Kenmoria is of course human only but some nations are not. Amend this to 'sacrifice of a sapient being'"

"In addition, this proposal will never pass because the reasons are unjustifiable and because GA 416 is near impossible to repeal simply because it is such a good idea."
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

"Ah, repeal attempt number eighteen! I never realized this could be such a popular subject. Anyway, I find it both interesting and tragic that so many of these attempts focus on so-called individual and personal freedom. I will never believe that such freedoms should extend to those who commit premeditated murder."

I am firmly against a repeal. Human sacrifice, whether the “victim” consents to it or not, should not be allowed. It is illegal and a waste of time to keep bringing it up.

Population = just under 20 million. Economy = only Thriving. Average Life expectancy = c.60 years.
