What does this do that the Charter of Civil Rights doesn't?

OP is perfectly happy to mention this, but I’m not seeing anything in that resolution that covers employment in the military or prohibiting gender discrimination in the same.

OOC: CoCR would apply to the military as much as any other employer. Soldiers are, after all, workers. Honestly, extant law covers most of this.

IC: "This draft seems to require member states not make reasonable security efforts for sensitive military roles. For example, if a Nation X were at war with a Nation Y, Nation X could not refrain from recruiting Nation Y expatriots for intelligence roles, despite the increased security risks. Nation Y expatriots may serve valiantly in roles where former national ties provide little risk to Nation X operational security, but high value intelligence is not one of those roles."

OOC: interesting. Bit surprised at that.

OOC: You can maybe articulate a better Compelling Practical Purpose for, say, gender discrimination. Maybe. If you really squint hard and close one eye. It would be very hard. But sure not, say, sexual identity or gender expression.

(OOC: Given that there were no changes, this has no support from me. This doesn’t really add anything, and might duplicate CoCR to the point of illegality.)
