In April 2007, the third repeal attempt actually passed by a supermajority.

2nd Attempt
Background
The second Repeal "Sexual Freedom" was the second resolution sponsored by Karmicaria to reach the UN floor. Karmicaria announced its interest in pursuing a replacement to the Sexual Freedom resolution during the debates on its Outlaw Necrophilia resolution and had already begun a draft replacement prior to this repeal achieving a quorum. Though the reached the floor on Oct. 31, 2006, the official debate on the motion began on Oct. 29. Repeal proponents pointed UN members to the replacement resolution, hoping to sway more votes in favour of the repeal. However, many nations that approved of the replacement, such as Norderia, still had reservations about opening up the floor towards potential blocker resolutions.[1]

WISHING to curtail continued omissions;
ENCOURAGING a more detailed replacement;
