    [GA, defeated] - Promoting Ethnic and Cultural Equality

    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...

    [GA, Withdrawn] - Demilitarised Zones Act

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

    [GA - passed] Ban on Sexual Abuse of Animals

    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...

    [GA - passed] Ban on Sexual Abuse of Animals

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

    [GA - passed] Ban on Sexual Abuse of Animals

    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...

    [GA, Withdrawn] - Demilitarised Zones Act

    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...

    [GA, defeated] - Promoting Ethnic and Cultural Equality

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

    LWU Gets Nothing. For (non-WA).

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    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...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    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...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    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...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    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...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    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,

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    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...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    I was referring less to your post specifically than to the sudden flood of Against votes as soon as the resolution hits vote. I don't understand this point. Taking intelligence into account in such a situation would not violate the resolution ipso facto. However, applying an interpretation of...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    Is there a reason all this opposition is suddenly coming up in the last minute, as opposed to before it actually hit vote? I still don't think this is true. An employer could indeed claim that they are discriminating based on intelligence, but that doesn't change the core fact that they are --...

    [GA - Failed] - Against Racial Discrimination (2nd)

    This was not why it was withdrawn; rather that was private comments on the proposal from Coporiana.

    Brief closing and opening remarks (Jan 2024)

    MoWAA roll call, January 2024

    For the record, I had removed @nvxl from the Ministry towards the end of my service as Minister, due to their failure to respond to a roll call.

    [GA, not in queue] - Against Racial Discrimination

    Kenmoria literally started in the WA Discord that their quoted post was an IC comment made in "poor faith" by their IC Ambassador, and they had no OOC objections to that clause. Absolutely for (non-WA).

    [GA, Passed] Procedural Rights Of Defendants

    I'm not convinced by the other complaints raised here, and it's always good to see a new author drafting and submitting proposals. For (non-WA).

    [GA, defeated] Repeal: "Convention Against Heinous Crimes"

    Yes, I was referring to the old version. Like the old version, this repeal still makes a number of quite exaggerated, misleading complaints. This is still just a more bloated way of repeating nonsense. That a trial is fair does not mean that requiring said trials to happen is "superfluous"...

    [GA, Illegal] - Repeal: "Convention Against Heinous Crimes"

    Even if you don't like the WA police, we shouldn't encourage this sort of lying and bad faith in a repeal.

    [GA - Passed] Whistleblowing Convention

    People shouldn't be punished for telling an agency something that's wrong in good faith. If the agency doesn't investigate properly and wrongly punishes someone, that's really the agency's fault. It makes absolutely no sense to punish a whistleblower because an agency doesn't properly...
