Passed: Fairness and Equality Act - Antrium - 12-03-2007

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: SchutteGod

Description: The United Nations,

AFFIRMING the right of all people not to be targeted for abuse or discrimination based upon their gender, sexual orientation, or religious or cultural background;

RECOGNIZING the need for effective international anti-discrimination measures and additional protections for women and members of minority groups;

REGRETTING that Resolution #99: Discrimination Accord, while outlawing discriminatory practices by nations, may be interpreted as a prohibition of discrimination by governments only, while excluding discrimination by private groups, individuals and employers;

SEEKING to address the failures of past legislation in the area of human rights, much of which has been repealed on the grounds of ineffectiveness;

NOTING past affirmations of national prerogative on marriage and criminal-sentencing laws, somewhat limiting the scope of this remit;

Hereby enacts the following:

1. Unfair and unreasonable discrimination in employment, housing, education or access to services provided to the general public shall be prohibited by all member states, including discrimination based on a person's gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, skin color, language, economic or cultural background, physical/mental disability or condition, age, religion or belief system, sexual orientation or gender orientation;

2. Unprovoked violence against or intimidation of any person on previously stated grounds shall be a civil and criminal offense in all member states;

3. Nothing in this article shall be construed as to deny additional or stronger protections against discrimination and abuse already enacted by member states.

While this resolution addresses a well known issue in the world today, I would like it if it was more specific about the penalties.

Support it now I say, and we'll author another one that amends it later.

Right now the UN needs an anti-discriminatory resolution as the "Repeal rights for Women and Minorities" was passed.

I would press for support on it if there was another one out there that could strengthen, howevr I doubt that its there and that it will ever make quorm.

Passed: Fairness and Equality Act - Mikitivity - 12-09-2007

My apologies. I didn't vote in this poll, but Mikitivity was opposed. I should be lurking around here a few times a week. I've bought a new house, and things are slowly getting under control at work -- meaning my 60 hour work weeks (which have plagued me for a year) should dwindle down.
