[Draft I] Repeal: Prevention of Hate Crime

Postby Russian Brotherhood » Mon Jan 20, 2025 11:43 am

The World Assembly

Identifying the violation of freedom of speech and lack of any punishment failing to protect business and other fields and lack of protections,

Aware of the seriousness of hate crimes and freedom of speech but lack of any justice or more protections,

Realizing the violation of freedom of speech from non-violate actions causes a dilemma with a lack of any universal justice,

Concerned about the lack of protection for businesses and groups of interest with no universal justice against hate crimes, Prevention of Hate Crime is outdated and needs of more protection and legal justice.

Further, the violation of freedom of speech is violated by "non-violent criminal act against". Lacking definitions gives no clear answer to what a "non-violent criminal act".

In conclusion, freedom of speech violations and unclear definitions and legal punishment have flawed the resolution;

Hereby repeals the resolution, GAR711 "Prevention of Hate Crime".

This is a legitimate question as I either am blind or it's hidden in one that's not as obvious to my brain: does the World Assembly have an inviolable Freedom of Speech resolution?

Why do you say so?

That part was weak I do want to drop it, I just want stronger protections for a better draft.

I don't think there's an absolute mandate on that, but the topic is addressed by GA #436 which has various exceptions including for other WA resolutions.

For me, every repeal has questions to be asked.

1) Does the legislation in question perform its purpose as intended? If not;
2) Does the legislation in question disproportionately harm non-malicious actors more than it harms malicious actors?

As I view all forms of hate speech as malicious actors breaking the social contract, thereby freeing them of its constraints and protections, I'd personally find no reason to grant them "freedom of speech" insofar as they also should have "freedom to reap consequences". As most "Hate Speech is Free Speech" individuals are not willing to reap the consequences of their actions (cancel culture backlash for instance), they fail to accept consequences for their actions, so they don't get the privelege to run their mouth. That's just me, though.

In a more broad sense, the target legislation does not meet my second criteria; it does not harm innocent actors more than it harms malicious actors; as "hate speech" is generally a malicious act, I see no reason for repeal on the current arguments.

But that's just me; I do not speak for Bisofeyr, I merely nervously twirl my bangs when they look my direction.

Thank you, that helps me formulate better understanding of "Freedom of Speech" re: the World Assembly legislation.

I mean I dont care for the freedom of speech in this context I just think more protection is needed and a legal punishment and definition should be added

This suggests you want to do a repeal and replacement, but for that to work, i.e. to show that it is, in fact, possible to make better legislation on this, you'd have to write said better legislation / replacement
