Draft: Right Of Emigration - Charlotte Ryberg - 11-30-2008

Under discussion now is the draft proposal for Right of Emigration.

----

ACCEPTING that within the boundaries of the World Assembly, people may emigrate from one nation to another for many types of reasons including, but not limited to:
- Pursuit of ambition, opportunity or refuge, or;
- Escape from war, persecution, conscription or injustice;

Therefore the World Assembly implements the Right of Emigration as international law;

Defines "Emigration" as an act of leaving a country or region in order to settle in another.

Mandates that:
1. It is a right of any person of a member nation to emigrate from their current nation of residence, regardless of their status (such as disability, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or belief) unless the conditions in Section Two are true:

2. Member Nations may choose to waive Section One only if any of the following conditions are true:
i. The person is either under penal servitude or undergoing (penal or criminal) legal proceedings;
ii. The person holds certain convictions directly linking to the harming of young or vulnerable people;
iii. The person is below the age of maturity (as defined in their nation of residence) and lacks the consent of their legal parents or guardians;
iv. The person is either militarily interned during conflict; or legally mandated to remain in the current nation of residence following a judicial ruling, or;
v. The person could cause a threat to global security by emigrating.

Expresses that member nations are invited to, if they can:
i. Help people who are fleeing from hostile situations including, but not limited to: war (civil or wider area), persecution on grounds of belief or disability, or oppressive/unethical governments.
ii. Help such persons under these situations to travel safely and swiftly to nations that are more tolerant to them.

Emphasizes that this resolution will not alter policies of member nations concerning entry into their nation.

Strongly urges Member Nations to take action on preventing emigrants from becoming stateless.

Thanking Gobbannaen WA Mission.
