The Assembly of Worlds,
Horrified at the immense quantities of suffering and injustice caused by the practice of racial segregation in nations throughout the multiverse;
Drawing attention to the obstacles segregation poses to equality and sapient rights;
Determined to stand against such a practice in the strongest of terms, for the prosperity of all peoples;
Hereby:
- Defines, for the purposes of this resolution, "racial segregation" as separation of individuals on the basis of racial group in services and institutions, including any of the following (specifically on the basis of race):
- Denial of an otherwise legal marriage,
- Denial of an open employment position to a qualified worker,
- Denial of access to public infrastucture, including but not limited to restrooms, water fountains, roads, etc,
- Rejection from any school,
- Imposition of additional barriers to accessing basic services such as healthcare, clean water, welfare, etc,
- Imposition of additional barriers to purchasing, renting, or otherwise procuring housing,
where a "racial group" is a group within a given sapient species who are widely considered distinct based on phenotypical traits, ethnicity, or common lineage;
- Prohibits the practice of racial segregation in every WA member state or subdivision thereof, and;
- Clarifies the following:
- States are not prevented from providing services tailored to address the specific social challenges of particular racial groups, such as crisis helplines and support groups;
- States and other organizations are not prevented from making their own legislation surrounding affirmative action initiatives, so long as this is meant to support a racial group which faces significant present inequalities.
