[Draft] Repeal Prevention Of Hate Crime

[NWC]

General Assembly Resolution # 711 "Prevention Of Hate Crime" (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly (WA):

acknowledging the important objective of GAR#711 in tackling hate speech.

Concerning GAR#711, the wording implies that people who engage in hate speech should face penalties. This could potentially undermine freedom of speech. While hate speech is abhorrent, it is also considered a form of freedom of speech. Imposing penalties for expressing opinions would go against the principles of the WA, which aim to promote genuine equality for all, and violate the rights of individuals guaranteed by the WA.

Believing that the WA should safeguard these fundamental rights, promote equality for all, and take appropriate measures to address any infringements of rights as deemed necessary by the WA;

Hereby repealing GA#711, "Prevention Of Hate Crime".
