GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION AT VOTE

Rights of Indigenous Peoples

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Vancouvia

Description: The World Assembly,

Recognizing the existence of indigenous peoples within member states of the World Assembly and the possible existence of indigenous peoples who have yet to be contacted but may eventually live in the territory of member states;

Defining indigenous as culturally-distinct peoples who inhabited lands before the arrival and their knowledge of a now-dominant culture or cultures;

Acknowledging that non-indigenous peoples may offer assistance and aid to the indigenous peoples they come in contact with, and vice versa;

Concerned that indigenous peoples have suffered or will suffer injustices and discrimination at the hands of the dominant culture(s), despite the possible illegality and immorality of such actions;

Seeking to not only maintain the cultural rights of indigenous peoples, but also to provide for their well-being and happiness;

Urges member nations to cooperate and communicate with indigenous peoples in a peaceful and respectful manner, and to seek to obtain indigenous peoples’ consent before engaging in any measures that may affect them;

Encourages member nations to provide opportunities for consenting indigenous peoples to peacefully assimilate and gain citizenship if they have not yet done so;

Recommends member nations allow indigenous peoples to own and maintain their artifacts and their ancestors' artifacts;

Implores member nations to permit uncontacted indigenous peoples to continue to live within their native lands, and to permit contacted indigenous peoples to continue to live within their lands if they presently are doing so, unless a legitimate governmental need requires such land and no reasonable alternative exists, in which case the indigenous peoples in the area affected shall be given fair compensation and adequate time to prepare for their relocation to reasonably close and similar lands;

Requires member nations to allow indigenous peoples to practice and express their cultural traditions unhindered, so long as those practices are not illegal under the laws of the nation of which they inhabit or illegal under active WA resolutions;

Advises member nations to refrain from enacting any future legislation or policies that would seek solely to limit any reasonably harmless or peaceful specific practices of indigenous peoples;

Urges member nations to provide for indigenous peoples access to healthcare, education, employment, and representation.

For, Against, Abstain
 
Ministry Determination
Vote Recommendation: AGAINST

This is essentially a duplication of EXACTLY what we repealed a week ago. The proposal still legalizes gratuitous sacrifice, dangerous and unsanitary practices, tax evasion, exemption from important civil responsibilities such as vaccination and conscription programs, and makes it even more difficult for a state to utilize "native" land for the greater good, such as eminent domain for the construction of hospitals and vital roadways.

The author has submitted this to save face from the sting of having it repealed. The World Assembly should not be held hostage to wounded pride and political manipulation.

This was repealed once, and we shouldn't have to do it again. It is the determination of the Ministry that it is in the best interest of all members to vote AGAINST this terrible resolution.

Especially one so recently repealed. *nods*

Seriously: a near-mimic of this resolution was passed a few weeks ago and insta-repealed less than a week later ... maybe 2 resolutions or so ago. While I understand that this is definitely a Feel Good subject to pass legislation on, I encourage TNP to vote against this resolution and make a strong statement that recycling repealed garbage is frowned upon within the General Assembly.

I agree with Mouse's sentiments here. Will someone please talk some sense into Sillystring, so thus doesn't stand a chance, and Vancouvia can give it up?
 
Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
