The target would prevent resolutions banning cannibalism. For the record, I also do not intend to submit a replacement if this passes -- while I don't see the point of the repeal, it also doesn't seem imminently harmful not to have WA law on this topic.

Why is repeal a desirable outcome, except to facilitate the passage of a ban? I can understand the perspective of "we should ban cannibalism and #691 stops that, so repeal", however the intent is seemingly to oppose such a replacement as well. In that case I don't see the point of this repeal.

Bisofeyr (author of the target resolution) is drafting a replacement, Sustainable Timber Standards.

TNP slowly turning into Oceania, I see. :P

Thank you for your service, and congratulations to Chipoli!

Repeal "Rights of Sapient Species" was passed 9,738 votes to 1,666.

These arguments are quite poor and are mostly misleading or irrelevant; I suspect there are ulterior motives behind it. Against (non-WA). The repeal seems to make four main arguments: that it is too difficult to determine when an activity is "intended to entertain", that parts of the resolution...

No particular objections to this; non-WA support.

Non-WA against; I don't think this is an issue, the resolution is clearly about international transport and I don't see a need for it to address domestic transport too.

That clause is meant to address situations when an entity submits a self-incriminating report. If an entity submits a report under Section 4 which implies the entity violated Section 2 restrictions, the self-report cannot be used to penalise the entity for the violation. In practice this would...

Overview This resolution proposal seeks to repeal On Tobacco and Electronic Cigarettes (GAR459), on the grounds that GAR459 serves to mitigate nicotine addiction and the adverse health effects associated with tobacco. This repeal is based on the ineffectiveness of GAR459's focus on an...

I think this is quite entertaining and covers a notable aspect of GA lore. Support, although non-WA.

I'm a TNPer and my TNP nation is Magecastle Embassy Building A5.

I had not logged into the forums in a while, but I would also like to add my congratulations!

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...

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...
