I'm not convinced that a particular treaty should be permitted if its purpose is to harm indigenous communities. Not necessarily losing the treaties, but not having them may certainly cause harms, such as the loss of their culture and land. I would consider state policies, documented in a...

Nothing here permits conscription into the IPF. The entire point of this is to protect people's lives.

For context this proposal is largely inspired by a previous draft, Don't Have Sex with a Corpse, which banned necrophilia including with dead (but not live) animals; it was since redrafted to ban only necrophilia with dead humans. That was in turn a redraft of Don't Eat Your Own Species and No...

Non-WA for; this proposal should be fairly self-explanatory.

Overview This resolution, as the title suggests, bans the "act of a person having sexual intercourse with an animal". It also bans "the act of... causing... physical harm to an animal for the sexual gratification of that" person. The definition of "animal" excludes dead animals, which had been...

Ban on Sexual Abuse of Animals Category: Moral Decency | Strength: Significant Proposed by: The Ice States | Onsite Topic Note: Only votes from TNP WA nations, NPA personnel, and those on NPA deployments will be counted. If you do not meet these requirements, please add (non-WA) or something...

What is an acceptable use of WA money if not helping prevent wars? Arguably this should be one of the highest priorities of the WA -- preventing death and international conflict. Lots of real-world DMZs have third-party peacekeeping missions; eg the Moldova-Ukraine border DMZ is administered by...

Assuming good faith, how is the loss of "historic rights and reclamations" not inherently a form of harm?

LWU Gets Nothing. For (non-WA).

You realise that this bans segregation? Instead of just repeating this, could you actually explain how it is not possible that discrimination based on two characteristics is possible? This doesn't at all address the point. I'm not even sure what you mean by "to include it in a definition of...

Nothing in the resolution says that discrimination cannot occur based on multiple characteristics. The point is that both are relevant racial characteristics. We can debate the sematics of what the word "definition" means, or whether it applies to this, but that's irrelevant to what Section 4...

Once again, just because one characteristic is being discriminated on does not mean that discrimination on another characteristic is simultaneously occuring. There is nothing that says that if discrimination on intelligence is happening, that automatically rules out the possibility of...

Did you even read the rest of the paragraph you responded to, which explains how this would not be permitted? If you're arguing that it's too broad, as your original argument seemed to imply, you should be able to give one example of when those acts wouldn't be genocide. If you're arguing that...

Glad people are at least honest at why all the votes are suddenly coming in at the last minute! Edit: Preserving in case it gets removed,

It does not do this. It says that Section 2 "does not prohibit" them, not that they are absolutely unrestricted under Section 2 in all forms. If some company is hiring only, say, white people who speak English for a position where only the latter is an actual necessity, the discrimination...
