Repeal "Right to Divorce"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #135
Proposed by: Fonzoland
Description: UN Resolution #135: Right to Divorce (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: The United Nations,
NOTING the recent passage of "Right To Divorce",
CONCERNED at a number of failures of said resolution:
1. OBSERVING that although it 'declares that a marriage or civil union may be ended by divorce', this does not actually guarantee any right to a divorce, meaning the final decision still rests with national or local courts anyway,
2. DEEPLY DISTURBED by clause 3, which enforces parental rights in such a way that it is illegal to deny regular access to the child to a parent who is assessed being a significant risk to the child, even where such parent has been convicted of crimes such as sexual molestation of children or infanticide,
3. BELIEVING it to be fallacious to base post-divorce visitation rights exclusively on the circumstances of divorce,
4. RECOGNISING that it would be better to have visitation privileges determined on a case-by-case basis, considering the facts of the specific situation and giving proper attention to the welfare of the children as well as the rights of the parents,
5. NOTING FURTHER that the definition used in the resolution does not extend any rights to those in polyandrous or polygamous relationships, and as such enforces one particular set of values,
6. CONVINCED that the resolution constitutes an attempt at inappropriate micromanagement, where many of its provisions would be more effectively delegated to national or more local agencies,
7. REMAINING OPEN to the possibility of replacement legislation that legislates a 'right to divorce' without resorting to unnecessary micromanagement:
REPEALS "Right To Divorce".

I agree with TSS on this one. This seems to be quite a well-written proposal. FOR. |

I'm pretty sure you voted no on this one, Star.
Legalese also votes for this Repeal, having been against the Resolution and its micromanagement in the first place. |

Star, your exact words were "I vote no based on the sheer stupidity and waste of man-hours that this farce has used up."
In fact, everyone except Paci voted against the original resolution.
Would you like to change your vote from abstain to yes? |

Wow, I really didn't like this one before, did I?
See, if I vote For, then I'm agreeing to the waste of time used to get rid of a total and utter waste of time. So I think I'll stick with my abstain and refrain from timewasting altogether. |

Anything that gets the U.N.'s nose out of individual nations' business is a good thing. FOR. |

For. I didn't much like the original resolution any better than Star did. |
