RECOGNISING the wide-ranging differences among UN member governments in how they define and recognise marriage and civil unions within their jurisdictions;
NOTING that some member nations are theocracies that will only recognise unions performed in accordance with the doctrines of their religions and that some member nations do not have any provisions of law recognising formal union between persons, and
BELIEVING that any attempt to impose a definition of marriage as a UN standard, to be applied to all member nations, would be extremely difficult due to these wide ranging differences, and that to do so could cause serious problems for those nations with unusual marriage laws and customs;
The United Nations
DECLARES that it is the right of all UN member nations to define and regulate marriage and civil union within their own borders as they see fit.
ASKS each UN member nation to respect and recognise the marital status of international visitors, even if it does not recognise that status with regard to its own population.
STRONGLY URGES all UN member nations who do recognise marriage or civil union within their nations to apply all laws governing them equally and fairly to the whole population, without discrimination or prejudice.
CONDEMNS the practice of forced marriage between non-consenting individuals.

Wow, considering the overwhelming support so far I am going to vote for the proposal. If people do not want it then you'll need to have 8 people vote no and none vote yay. |
