The World Assembly,
Believing in the rights of every sapient individual to have full bodily autonomy,
Knowing that the involuntary administration of certain drugs, medications, or other substances, can infringe on this right to bodily autonomy,
Wishing to regulate the involuntary administration of these substances so as to prevent a severe violation of natural sapient rights,
Hereby,
- Defines, for the purposes of this resolution, "undesirable substance" as any drug, medication, or other substance, in which its primary intent in administration can be reasonably assumed to not be desired by the individual in which it is being administered to;
- Bans the administration of undesirable substances to any sapient individual of legal competence who has not consented to the administration, except in the following circumstances:
- the individual poses a reasonable threat to themselves or others, and must be sedated;
- a patient which is undergoing a medical procedure and needs to receive emergency medications, where consent is not able to be received;
- in cases of capital punishment, lethal, non-painful doses must be administered in order to invoke a humane death;
- substances deemed necessary for the widespread public health of either the nation or the world at large must be administered, even if there are skeptics who are vocally opposed to such substances being administered;
- Clarifies that, even under these exceptions, adverse effects that are not deemed necessary should be minimized to the greatest extent which is possible.
