Resolution for the protection of Private Property Rights

[The United Sates of South Brazil]

Hello there,

Given that the main purpose of the General Assembly is the improvement of human life, and considering that the institute of private property is essential to freedom, human dignity and progress, I think that it is necessary for all the Nations that are member of this international organization to approve a resolution requiring a basic respect to the right of Private Property.
Please answer the poll.

Thanks,
The Leader of The United States of South Brazil

"What on earth is private property in this context? What specific rights constitute the general right to private property?"

Hi

I believe that the general right of private property would mean the right to the ownership of property by non-governmental legal entities. Private property is distinguishable from public property, which is owned by a state entity, and from collective or cooperative property, which is owned by a group of non-governmental entities. Private property is a legal concept defined and enforced by a country's political system. This logic being supported by John Locke's theory of original appropriation.

OOC: You should actually write a proposal. If people approve of the idea, they'll say as such. Though I do wonder if such a proposal would fall afoul of the ideological ban rule since non-recognition of private property is pretty intrinsic to communism. But then, I guess one could argue comminism's only true requirement is the nationalization of the means of production and the patents resolution got a pass so who knows?

That would be outlawing a specific practice, not communism, so not an ideological ban.

"Mere possession is the only definition? Ambassador, that suggests that nations may still prevent alienation or acquisition. This proposal takes an overly simplistic approach to property concepts."
