A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights Strength: Mild Proposed by: Green Pacifica
The General Assembly,
REAFFIRMING this body's commitment to sapient rights and basic equality;
CONCERNED that this body has not paid equal attention to the rights of parents who do not carry children (hereafter referred to as non-carriers) as to the rights of parents who carry children (hereafter referred to as carriers), particularly the right of non-carriers to parental emancipation;
Therefore:
1. DEFINES "parental emancipation" as emancipation from all legal responsibilities of parenthood;
2. REQUIRES member nations to legalize parental emancipation for non-carriers in cases in which pregnancy results from involuntary sexual activity and/or sexual activity in which the non-carrier party could not legally give consent;
3. DECLARES that it is neither a criminal offense nor a cause for civil suit to have obtained parental emancipation for reasons stated in Section 2 and that no inhabitant of a member nation shall be subject to prosecution for having done so, nor otherwise subjected to harassment or persecution in law or at the instigation of the state in consequence;
4. CLARIFIES that all member nations retain the ability to legalize or prohibit parental emancipation for purposes not covered in this resolution.
