As long as this voluntary combat doesn't regularly result in death of the participants, it does not conflict with the resolution.

In matters such as these, where there are several reasonable opinions and where basic human rights or basic human morality is not involved, we think the World Assembly should defer judgment to individual member states.

"The use of tradition to justify cruel and barbaric acts disgusts me ambassador. Taking your argument to its extremes, the WA should never have banned slavery, as it would have 'insulted the culture and tradition' of many slave states." - Ambassador Tappe

"Tradition is history, tradition is culture, and tradition is how we learn to move forward. To annihilate a peoples' history and culture is far more barbaric, Ambassador. As for human chattel, it is an economic system, not a tradition. Any state who defines itself by its peddling of human flesh is a failure...and often conmen who inflate prices on damaged goods...
Anyway, to answer the infidel from Haoguo, it is not irony. It is mutual respect. The corrida de toros is a dance of honor between man and beast. We spill their blood, and they spill ours. We sustain them, and they sustain us."~Jose de Borja, Duke of Zaragoza and Papal Claimnant as (anti)Pope Calixtus IV

Groot wrote:Ambassador Groot enters the voting chamber, carrying some kind of feathered, pot-bellied, one-meter-tall creature. The flightless being has a long, thin, sharp beak, and is wearing a silk robe. "I am Groot," says Groot, as he addresses the author of the proposal. The bird-like creature begins to squawk a high-pitched, warbling, rather annoying squawk, and begins to flap its tiny little wings violently. "I am Groot," says Groot calmly, wagging a finger-like branch at the creature, which calms it down somewhat. Groot strokes the creature's back to further placate it. Groot nods, then quietly announces his vote against the proposal: "I am Groot."

“This is not the case. Because the proposal does not allow or permit bloodsports to any extent in member nations, there would be no issue if a member state were to completely ban bloodsports in their entirety, or impose any restrictions up to this point. The lack of any clause in the text that would prohibit such restrictions implicitly allows them.”
