Quote: Repeal "Sexual Freedom"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal

Resolution: #7

Proposed by: David6

Description: UN Resolution #7: Sexual Freedom (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The United Nations,

ASSERTING that the citizens of member nations have the right to sexual privacy as declared in Resolution #7 ?Sexual Freedom?,

NOTING the passage of Resolution #192 ?Sexual Privacy Act?,

OBSERVING the indefiniteness of the phrase ?except for medical reasons? used in Sexual Freedom, as opposed to the detail given in Sexual Privacy Act,

CONSIDERING that Sexual Freedom lacks an exception for criminal or civil investigative activity, while Sexual Privacy Act contains this reasonable and necessary exception,

WORRIED that the accurate definitions and additional exception in Sexual Privacy Act are useless with the continued presence of Sexual Freedom and its uncertain and subjective phrasing, and will remain so until Sexual Freedom is fully rendered null and void;

CONVINCED that Sexual Freedom is no longer necessary, as Sexual Privacy Act guarantees both sexual freedom and privacy,

INTENDING to streamline the operations of the United Nations by eliminating resolutions that are extraneous and hinder those that better serve the aims of this organization;

REPEALS Resolution #7 "Sexual Freedom"

Voting Ends: Mon Apr 9 2007 [/quote]

Much and all as I dislike David^'s style, this is actually well written and makes fair points. FOR.

[Gnejs]

I dislike his style as well, but the repeal does bring up some valid points. I think I remember another try at repealing this one, and for once there was actually a replacement ready to be submitted, or am I thinking of this "Sexual Privacy Act?? Does this ring any bells? Anyhow, the Sexual Privacy Act? seem to cover most aspects of this issue and we will probably vote FOR.

The SPA is the evolution of the SFA which was intended as a replacement.

If I get the time, I'll look at the repeal and see if thestatements are accurate. As I recall, one of his earlier efforts was marred by misleading and inaccurate statemets, so the author;s credibility is going to be an issue going forward for a long time to come.

[Antrium]

Sure. FOR.

Except David6 didn't actually write the unions repeal.

[Grosseschnauzer]

The one I''m thinking of, his name was on it, which makes him responsible for it.
I was held to the same standard with Tsunami Warning System, so what was good for the goose then is good for the gander now.

[Mikitivity]

I too do not like the style and feel that although the early resolution has problems, that I am not convinced that this particular repeal deserves my vote in favour -- thus I am abstaining.

[Groot Gouda]

NS wouldn't be the same without a lot of resolution about sex.

Against.

(don't have to be rational and intelligent all the time! )

There's isn't a lot of enthusiasm for this one, and it's a even spilt. I am going to ABSTAN, unless a trend develops before the floor vote closes later today.

Apparently that last poll vote came in just about the time the floor vote ended, so it wasn't changed. On the other hand with the lopsided vote on the UN floor, it would not have mattered.
