Prohibiting Trade in Sapients
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Tinhampton

---

Applauding the members of the World Assembly for passing GA#23 "Ban on Slavery and Trafficking," which required states to adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards those who buy, sell and employ sapients without their consent, and GA#297 "Child Welfare in Adoption," which barred would-be foster parents from effectively bribing adoption agencies as to pressure them into fulfilling their requirements, and

Finding it sensible that all forms of buying and selling sapient beings not prohibited by the aforementioned two resolutions ought to be eradicated immediately...

The General Assembly hereby:

1. requires member states to:
   
   1. prohibit any sapient being from being transferred by or from any sapient or group of sapients to any other sapient or group of sapients in exchange for any goods of any value, where such transfer is not already prohibited by prior and standing international law, and to
   2. refrain from enacting any statutory limitations on any action which constitutes servitude, including those acts described in Article a(i),
2. clarifies that Article a(i) does not apply when a sports club in a member state pays a transfer fee to another sports club with the expectation that they will acquire an athlete above the age of majority from that other club, provided that the rights guaranteed to said athlete by law are not violated by their new club, nor shall it be read to forbid companies in member states from recruiting those working for any company in a member state, and
3. recommends, in the strongest terms possible, that members prohibit the sale of body parts belonging to living sapients.

We already have a ban on human trafficking. What new does this bring to the table except for more minutiae? You aren’t writing resolutions, you are creating regulations. That is what the gnomes are for.

OOC: The word sapient should be killed with fire. It does nothing that individual, person or people doesn't do.

If you did the slightest bit of research into your topic, you'd see that b is insane, unnecessary and completely inappropriate. Professional sports clubs do NOT acquire sportspeople.

This is illegal for duplication.

As Sep said in one of your threads, please stop. What is your goal here? Throw enough shit at the wall and hope that one in ten or one in twenty sticks?

Wouldn't this prohibit the paying of ransoms by people in WA nations?

[Not Doge Land 2]

This makes me scream. Please stop. Nobody asked for this. It's already been done, this proposal is illegal (see: bananaistan's post)

Also stop using the word sapient. please. stop.

Wouldn't this prohibit the paying of ransoms by people in WA nations?

And arguably the transfer of inhabited territories from on nation to another, even if the inhabitants favour that change, as well.
