The people of Lazy days believe they have successfully demonstrated the gross inconsistency by which the claim to national sovereignty is applied. The essential complaint by respondents about this hypothetical resolution is that it in effect forces countries to legalize drugs (it doesn't, by the way; there are a wide variety of punishments besides jail time, not the least of which is the act of being convicted of a drug crime itself). The very fact that people claim this is really about legalizing drugs reveals just how absurd it is to claim as a human rights issue the right to know what is in the food people eat.
When the people of Lazy days objected to the labeling resolution because it forced some countries to do things they don't want to do, they were politely and not so politely told their place; namely, that they should leave the UN if they wanted to argue something so backward and pass? as the right for national leaders to judge for themselves the best course of action for their country. With a very simple and straightforward resolution, one that addresses a far more important human rights issue than whether something is organic or not, it has been clearly demonstrated that in fact national sovereignty is alive and kickin'.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of preserving NSUN human rights resolutions for important human rights issues,
