Repeal 'Ban on Ritual Sacrifice'
This august World Assembly,
Remembering its past, optimus and maximus, and calling forth unto the heavens for its continued future and success,
Dedicated to the principles that:Recalling the resolution GA 430 'Freedom of Religion' as an avatar of this principle and the powerful message that this should send to men of principle everywhere, that religious minorities should be free from the tyranny of moralising authoritarians attempting to impose their religious dogma on society writ large,
- people should have a right to practice religion in peace so to commune with the heavens and achieve sought-for salvation from whatever gods which they may follow and
- non-consensual sacrifice of humans or other persons ought to be prohibited except under the most restrictive circumstances,
Observing the impact that the clause 'urges member nations to ban the ritual sacrifice of animals and other sentient beings' has on any attempt to enshrine, for the benefit of future generations, in legislation the protection of haruspicy and augury, two ancient arts practiced by cultures spread throughout the world with great historical and cultural significance to their practitioners and to the heirs of those cultures,
Concerned about the threat imposed upon those who wish to know the will of the gods in their day-to-day affairs, upon those who desire to determine whether the gods shall grant their favour to the state, upon those who offer thanks unto the immortal gods for victory through the realms of their people on land and sea,
Convinced that to protect these ancient arts from those who would attack them, the road must be opened for legislation to enshrine—for all eternity—protection for the augurs, haruspices, and diviners from the use of oppressive and tyrannical laws to prosecute them for their ancient practices, hereby:
Repeals 'Ban on Ritual Sacrifice'.
