Repeal "Marriage Equality"
Category: Repeal | Target: GA #410
Proposed by: Imperium Anglorum | Onsite Topic​

General Assembly Resolution #410 “Marriage Equality” (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Whereas legislation passed by the World Assembly cannot be amended or changed, only repealed, and that any correction of the problems noted in the target resolution would first require passage of a repeal:

And whereas this resolution's operative clauses create no protections beyond those already established in article 1, section 3 of GA c. 35 'The Charter of Civil Rights' in those nations where there exists an institution of marriage, making the protections provided for in this resolution meaningless:

And whereas section 1 of this resolution would force member nations to institute a state-centred conception of marriage, where its administration is both recognised and regulated by the state, rather than by civil society at large:

And whereas this resolution's preamble contains a number of spelling errors (e.g. recognising misspelt as 'regognizing'), baffling any holistic interpretation of the text, especially when those provisions are not severable from the other provisions of the resolution:

And whereas it is the opinion of this Assembly that replacement of this resolution is unnecessary, since article 1, section 3 of GA c. 35 'The Charter of Civil Rights' already provides for the relevant protections:

Now, therefore, be it enacted by this august and most excellent World Assembly, by and with the advice and consent of the Delegates and Members, in this present session assembled, and by the authority of the same, that the resolution entitled 'Marriage Equality' be repealed.
