Artistic Freedom
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Jey
Description: The General Assembly of the United Nations,
NOTING Article II of Resolution #26, “The Universal Bill of Rights,” which states that “All human beings have the right to express themselves through speech and through the media without any interference.”
ACKNOWLEDGING that the majority of artistic genres are not transmitted by speech or the media; thus
CONSIDERING that the rights of artists are not covered by any N.S.U.N. resolution;
UNDERSTANDING that artistic freedom should be protected and promoted throughout the world;
1. DEFINES for the purpose of this resolution:
a) A “work of art” as an object (such as a painting or sculpture) or intellectual construct (such as a novel or musical piece) created with the primary purpose of attaining aesthetic value,
B) An “artist” as a person who plays a major creative role on either the construction of an original work of art, or the interpretation of an existing work of art;
2. DECLARES the rights of artists to create and interpret works of art, and of any person to distribute and preserve them, without interference from other individuals, any government, or the N.S.U.N., provided they:
a) RESPECT national and international law on property rights, including copyrights,
B) ENSURE that no other person is harmed, or likely to be harmed, directly or otherwise, by their activities,
c) RESPECT any other relevant legislation that does not directly restrict their freedom of expression;
3. ENCOURAGES N.S.U.N. members to endorse and promote all artistic genres, by such means as they see fit, as long as these genres do not infringe on the restrictions described in clause 2.
