Hi. I was told that this is a good place to get advice and constructive criticism for a proposal. I'm from Futaba Aoi, and my proposal is outlined below.
This is a pretty straightforward resolution covering the basic laws that all countries should have, but often don't.Quote: RECALLING United Nations resolution #26, (The Universal Bill of Rights) wherein all UN citizens are given rights to safety and peace,
BELIEVING that all people everywhere deserve freedom from physical and mental harm wrought upon them by other human beings,
RECOGNISING the need for a universal legal system to ensure that all people may be protected wherever they go within the UN,
THESE UNITED NATIONS HEREBY DECLARE:
DEFINING ?harm? as any injury or infection of a person, except where used as medical treatment,
DEFINING ?damage? as any alteration to an object that leaves it less able to carry out its function, lessened in value, graffitied, or with some other alteration undesirable to its owner,
1. [1] No human being may, by deliberate action, bring, or attempt to bring any human being to harm, [2] nor by deliberate inaction allow the same.
2. No human being may, by deliberate action, cause, or attempt to cause, damage to any property that they do not own, without the full, explicit, informed, uncoerced consent of the owner of said property.
3a. Under section 1, clause 2, those forced to cause harm in order to protect themselves or others are hereby exempted form section 1, clause 1 and section 2, provided that:
[1] the harm or damage they cause is outweighed by the harm they prevent
[2] the harm or damage they cause is the absolute minimum necessary
[3] they cause harm or damage only where absolutely necessary
3b. In cases where an individual disregards a minority in order to protect a majority, no criminal charges may be brought with regards to harm caused to members of said minority.
[/quote]It has been rewritten several times, but it still needs work. I'm also working on a fourth section making it illegal to force people to do something against their will, but it's quite complicated because you need all sorts of exemptions for law enforcement - people don't want to go to prison, but the police are allowed to make them, etc. so if anyone has any ideas for that part I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
