Princess Madelyne Zylkoven, WA Representative of Daarwyrth: "Our delegation in conjuction with representatives from the nation of Honeydewistania have devised the following draft proposal that we would like to present to this honourable assembly. We realise this may be a controversial subject, yet it is our belief that missionary work is not a concept that fits within an international organisation that celebrates the diversity of its member nations. A nation's culture should not be eradicated through forceful religious conversion by a religion or faith from a far and distant land."
Religious Imperialism Proscription
Category: Moral Decency | Strength: Strong
To stand at the forefront of the efforts and endeavours to hold back any imperialistic tendencies and behaviours that might exist within this august body, and in particular to ensure that any forms of religious imperialism will not lead to the collapse and eradication of the myriad cultures and societies that constitute this honourable international assembly of diverse and unique member nations through forceful conversion and religious indoctrination;
The World Assembly enacts as follows:
- For the purposes of this resolution, these terms shall be understood in the following exhaustive manner:
- A 'missionary' as an individual belonging to a particular religion, faith, belief system, or cult who is sent out toward a community or group of people with the purpose of religiously converting said community or group of people;
- 'Missionary work' as the efforts and endeavours of a missionary that focus on the conversion of a community or a group of people to that missionary's religion, faith, belief system, or cult;
- No inhabitant of a member nation may become a missionary, or conduct missionary work;
- Every member nation must enforce the articles of this resolution in a manner that either entices compliance, or inspires deterrence regarding non-compliance with the articles of this resolution, yet while observing all extant WA legislation.
