The Sexes Rights Law
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.
Category: Social Justice
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Komokom
Description:
The United Nations notes with much sorrow the precedent in both distant and recent history, as well as contemporary times, where cultures dominated by one or more sexes infringe upon the rights of one or more other sexes. The following document is intended to both relieve and resolve much of these discriminative actions, not for one sex, but for all, acting in the interests of promoting equality in all society and eliminating gender bias from said society at large.
The United Nations :
Is Deeply Disturbed By : The possibility or action of the with-holding of citizenship and ethnicity-recognition based on the sex of a individual or collective of other-ethnic origins or of origin within the borders of a nation state.
Does Formally Recognise and Declare : That the rights of all sexes in society are equal, excepting only in the conditions below and that this equality must be preserved in the interests of the social and community rights of all citizens of Nation States United Nation member states.
Thus the Nation States United Nations :
Re-affirms and Re-states : Article 4 of The Universal Bill of Rights, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Fri Aug 8 2003.
Re-affirms and Re-states : Gay Rights, implemented by the Nation States United Nations on Sat May 3 2003.
RESOLVES :
1. The Nation States United Nations does here-by greatly encourage each member state to establish a minimum of one centre for each sex in their borders, in which people of the sex of the respective designated centre could seek shelter, medical care, and counselling for both themselves and their children or other dependants if they should find themselves without a home or shelter or reasonable support or care, due to any sexually motivated violence or discrimination from the home or work-place, or from such violence or lack of care stemming from society at large. These centres must be sensitive and cater to the needs of intersex people.
2. The Nation States United Nations calls upon all employers within member-states to abide by the following regulations :
a ) Equal wages for all sexes.
b ) Equal benefits for all sexes.
The above conditions are recommendations applicable within reason in that they are open to interpretation by a member states legal system in regards to each individual case, under the condition that the legal system must act in an un-biased fashion in regard to these cases.
3. The Nation States United Nations does applaud and protect the actions of any charity based organisation that is dedicated to furthering the education of any and all sexes in countries where one or more sex may not given an equal chance at attaining an education in a society.
4. Said protection in clause 3 is to be considered symbolistic in nature, and this protection of said charity organisations is conditional in that they may only provide opportunity for equality, they may not raise one sex or sexes above another or others. Such would be contrary to the spirit of the legislation and is not encouraged.
5. The Nation States United Nations recognises that gender is not just a physical manifestation but also a mental manifestation, and recognises that people of self proclaimed gender are also equally protected by the regulations and recommendations bound here in.

Starblaydia's View
In the modern world, gender should not be a barrier for employment or for rights. MEn and women, who can do the same jobs with equal success and failure, should as a result of this be paid the same. Gender discrimination within pay-structures is unacceptable, to put it simply, as men and women are equal before the law.
I urge the members of Atlantian Oceania to vote For this measure.

Lamoni's view
I have said it before, and I will say it again. It is not a function of government to discriminate. That being said, Lamoni supports this UN resolution. Men and Women should both be treated the same. This includes wages, and job benefits, as well as voting and civil rights. No one should be discriminated against, period. |

May I just say that I hope whoever is Delegate on Saturday 14th will carry out the position represented by the Region in this poll. |

We wish to note that the proposals are redundant in the eyes of Sarzonian law. However, we believe that the United Nations unduely threatens the sovreignty of member nations by proposing such pap. |

Perhaps an 'I do not wish to vote in this poll' option may help in future. |

I'm gonna vote against it, basically because I believe it's a nations right to descriminate if they want. Not that I agree with discrimination, of course, but that popular sovereignty should make the rules within a nation, not a group of nations who obvious outnumber a single, significant nation.
Of course, what I think doesn't really matter, but it's why there is a NO vote in the poll. |

I'd agree with Xile on this one. I don't really appreciate the UN telling me how to run my nation, when the UN is mainly supposed to check inter-regional affairs, not individual nations. So I will also be voting against this resolution, you all vote as you see fit. |

This Law has been passed and enacted within all UN Member-Nations.
