General Assembly Resolution #39 “The Right to a Lawful Divorce” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The General Assembly,

Recognizing the diversity of domestic legal traditions through which member states regulate and administer family law,

Concerned that the target resolution allows divorce "without let or hindrance," a broad standard that may limit member states ability, to design their own systems of law to provide reasonable procedural protections,

Noting that the resolution establishes binding requirements regarding access to divorce without clearly defining the limits of permissible regulation, thereby creating uncertainty as to what measures may ultimately be deemed non-compliant,

Confused further that, despite providing a broad definition of divorce, the resolution offers little insight into how its standards are intended to function within the current legal frameworks of member states that regulate custody, property division, and marital status,

Alarmed that the resolution's clause stating that "No penalty of any kind shall be imposed" could possibly protect abusive or dishonest behavior from the proper legal penalties in member states,

Hereby Repeals GA#39.

Note: Only votes from TNP WA nations, NPA personnel, and those on NPA deployments will be counted. If you do not meet these requirements, please add (non-WA) or something of that effect to your vote. If you are on an NPA deployment without being formally registered as an NPA member, name your deployed nation in your vote.
