Against Harassment
A resolution to improve worldwidehumansapient and civil rights.Category: Civil RightsStrength: SignificantProposed by: Tinhampton
Seeing harassment to be a violation of sapient rights, equality, and dignity, the General Assembly hereby:
- defines "harassment" as a wilful act - including threats, attempts, and aiding and abetting thereof - by a person; which harms (or could harm) another person physically and non-fatally, mentally, or financially; and which would not be tolerated by a reasonable person,
- suggests that all businesses within the World Assembly's jurisdiction adopt policies against sexual harassment, and
- requires all members to:
- criminalise harassment within their jurisdiction; unless permitted in prior and unrepealed WA law, or future WA law on self-defence,
- prosecute it as a crime of appropriate gravity, regardless of motive (including cultural tradition and "honour" so-called), including by prosecuting it more seriously if the victim was significantly harmed,
- ban the use of alternative means of dispute resolution in resolving charges of it,
- refrain from repatriating vulnerable harassment victims to a state where their life or dignity may be in danger, and
- immediately educate all their subjects on the criminal nature and consequences of harassment.
CHANGELOG:
- Draft 1:
- 25-Jan-2020, original resolution.
- 26-Jan-2020, suffixed the wording "and which would not be tolerated by a reasonable person" upon the definition of harassment in Article a. Moved Article d to Article b, and the old Article b to Article c. "Removed the wording "was below the age of majority, was related to the suspect; or if the suspect has been convicted of harassment before" from Article c, which was retitled Article c(iii). Split the old Article b into two bullet points, and changed "subject to standing WA law" to "unless permitted in prior and unrepealed WA law, or future WA law on self-defence" in Article c(i). Added Article c(iv), on non-refoulement, and c(v), on educational campaigns.
