I understand why someone may come to this conclusion, but regimentation and strictness is a positive in the context of a fighting force.

“Noting” is sort of uninspired? This should be more grim than matter of fact imo.
“while” —> “despite being”
“almost anyone” is dumb in both that it’s a repetition with “any” and that it’s actually just anyone. I would straight up do “individuals” to replace it.
What is the parentheses bit supposed to mean?
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:Believing that - for the sake of all inhabitants of the World Assembly's member states, especially the most vulnerable - it is imperative that this body forbid such forms of violence as soon as possible...
Rewrite (I just really dislike this clause):
“Believing it imperative to forbid such forms of violence in an effort to protect against abuse or mistreatment of vulnerable individuals.”
Slightly different vibes and wildly different language, but I think it works a lot better here.
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:defines "corporal punishment" as causing physical harm or pain to any person in order to penalise any person, where such punishment is delivered without the consent of either the person harmed or the person intended to be penalised,
Actually, rewrite again (also curious little suggestion here, why is it being limited only to physical pain? I mean sure emotional/mental pain is sort of a different category, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be included.):
“defines "corporal punishment" as the act of causing any kind of non-consensual physical harm or pain to another individual as punishment,”
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:requires members to outlaw corporal punishment, regardless of where it occurs, and to abolish all defences to the same,
“members” —> “member states”
Commas can maybe be em dashes.
It’s unclear what “and to abolish all defences to the same” means.
Potential rewrite just for fun:
“establishes a complete prohibition of corporal punishment in member states, and abolishes all defences to the same,”
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:all primary and secondary schools in member states inform all of their pupils about Articles a and b, as well as the maximum penalty established for corporal punishment by law, prominently and (where feasible) on a regular basis,
Repetition of “all” in the first bit, I’d recommend just nixing the opening “all” (honestly you could remove both).
“inform” —> “educate” (more fitting) I[f] you do take this edit, “about” —> “on”
Why is “Articles” capitalized?
“prominently… basis” either needs to be removed or reworded cuz it is gross rn
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:members regularly raise awareness about Articles a and b among all people whose employment requires them to regularly and intentionally interact with children,
Again, “members” —> “member states”
“about” —> “of”
“people” —> “individuals”
“and intentionally”? Ehhhhh idk, I think that could maybe be included too (wtf would unintentional consistent contact with children even be?).
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:members additionally forbid the guardians of a person without legal competence (including parents and carers of children) from granting consent for that person to be subject to corporal punishment in any context, and that
“members” —> “member states”
“additionally” kills flow and is not needed, kill it.
“the guardians” —> “any guardian”
“parents and” —> “parents or”
“carers of children” is in equal parts a synonym for guardian and really confusing, I’d rewrite that wording.
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:all clauses in all contracts in force while this resolution is in effect which have the effect of allowing any direct or indirect signatory of that contract to be subject to corporal punishment be immediately voided and not enforced by any party,
Jesus christ this took me about 8 times through to understand and I’m still not even sure I know what’s going on here. This really needs a rewrite but I don’t quite know how to write one so I’ll leave it up to you.
Thousand Branches wrote:Tinhampton wrote:the use of force in defence of oneself or others, in the course of organised armed conflict, or during sexual activity by consenting adults, nor
Okay this is utterly unnecessary. Self defense is not violence as a punishment, armed conflict is not violence as a punishment unless you’re going really really indirectly, and the consensual bit was clarified already in the definition.

I support Feyrisshire's criticisms in principle and have asked her for clarification about the circumstances in which corporal punishment ought to be impermissible beyond those she has outlined. I'll update Article a as soon as there's an obvious consensus list.
This was originally scheduled to be submitted after LEO Force Restrictions - a draft written 2y4m ago to facilitate the passage of a corporal punishment ban of some description - passed. Since the last reply was made, LEOFR passed, was repealed and I am now drafting a replacement. This will now be submitted after that replacement passes, which I expect to be at some point in November 2023, if not next year entirely. Holy mother of wild goose chases.

The Ice States wrote:Full support; I have no real objections to this as written. I would, however, suggest to make it clearer that Section b.iii applies only where that constitutes corporal punishment. I would also suggest, also for clarity, to change 'penalise' to 'punish' in the definition of CP; otherwise a (bad faith) reading would be that it means only penalties enforced by law.
