Repeal & Replace GAR#416 “Ban on Religious Sacrifices”
Repeal Resolution
The World Assembly,
Recognizing, the noble attempts of GAR#416 to eliminate the largely peculiar practice of religious sacrifices, expressly live sacrifices to gods or divinities,
Believing that GAR#416 does not adequately arrange how criminal acts of religious sacrifice are to be identified. Instead, #416 modestly bans the act of religious sacrifices.
Detailing, that in order for GAR#416 to be able to properly prosecute perpetrators, a viable identification method would need to be enlisted as religious cults engaging in such activities as sacrifice often do so on the low, and are rarely prosecuted aside from a stray individual.
Further detailing that resolution #416 does not adequately define “ritual sacrifice” on the premises that the resolution can be bypassed if the sacrifice is instead apart of a ‘dark magic’ ritual, where the organism being sacrificed is not being sacrificed to a god, deity, or other deific being.
Declaring that GAR#416 inadequately deals with the matter of religious sacrifice as a whole,
Does hereby repeal GAR#416, by the name of “Ban on Religious Sacrifices.”
Replacement Resolution
Prohibition of Religious Cults & Sacrifices
Category: Civil Rights
Strength: Strong
The World Assembly,
Disgusted by the disconcerting fact that religious sacrifice and cults continues to remain semi-prevalent among religious cults across the many member states of this assembly
Revolted that many states continue to endorse or authorize the act of forming religious cults, as well as the sacrificing of live and sentient beings for the purpose of magical ceremony, or as offering to a celestial or higher entity.
Unreservedly horrified that these sacrifices extend to inhumane, unethical, and blood curdling usage of humans and other animals for purpose and in method too ghastly to describe in this assembly’s hallowed halls,
Speechless from the usage by bureaucrats of such sacrifices and cults in order to keep dissent at manageable or nonexistent levels by means of threat, as well as to claim divine right to rule in their position(s),
Shocked by the fact that nations continue to overlook this problem in their many internal issues, and while coupling this with the prohibition of such acts, make no noticeable effort to prevent such ghastly actions from occurrence,
Does hereby,
1: Define ‘religious cult’ as an organization or group that engages in activities not common place in state approved, sanctioned, or authorized churches, engages in unorthodox practices that are generally considered appalling in nature, or is a non-public group or organization that is not currently known, or is not meant to be known by, state intelligence groups.
2: Define ‘religious sacrifice’ as the act of sacrificing an object or living organism for the purpose of ceremony, ritual, initiation, or for the purpose of sacrificing to gods, deities, or other celestial beings, as well as the sacrificing of organisms or objects for non-religious related matters.
3: Outlaw the participation or formation of a religious cult, partnered with the prohibition of participating in any manner of religious sacrifice.
4: Ensure the continued dissolution of such organizations and practices by:
4A. Necessitating the state or state intelligence agencies to engage in at minimum biyearly evaluations and investigations as to the current status and progress for elimination of these cults and practices
4B. Mandating that if a cult or individual practicing sacrificial rituals is identified by intelligence efforts, individuals are to be placed in such groups in a short-term effort to dissolve the group and detain its following.
5: Interdict bureaucrats or otherwise officials from using religious sacrifice or cults in order to stay in power, claim divine right to rule, and force or encourage actions from citizens using these methods.
