Proposal Text
| Category: | Human Rights | Strength: | Significant | Proposed By: | Saint Lucius Malfoy |
|---|
REGRETTING the threat to human rights which is the suppression of learning about evolutionary theory;
AWARE that some of causes of this suppression are political and/or religious based fears that evolution is an alternative to belief in a deity;
NOTING that many religions do not feel threatened by evolutionary theory. Furthermore it is unlikely that God is so malevolent as to plant evidence that our planet is aged 3.5 billion years;
EMPHASIZING the United Nations must collectively discourage the suppression of this grand unifying theme called evolutionary theory. Teachers of the idea should also be free from imprisonment and persecution.
CLARIFIES it is not the intention of this proposal to enforce a curriculum upon nations which have varied cultural and societal tastes. Specifically a nation may decide to not include evolutionary theory in the classroom because a lack of interest by teachers and/or students. This will not be interpreted by the UN as evidence of suppression. Suppression is defined as written laws preventing the teaching of evolutionary theory or punishing those who teach it.
MANDATES that the UN eject member states that persist to physically imprison / punish teachers or students for engaging in evolutionary studies. Nations that suppress the teaching of evolution will be discouraged from doing so but will not be ejected for minor offenses againt the resolution.
REITERATES the need for member nations to allow students to learn about evolutionary theory;
ASKS member nations work with world leaders to prevent the suppression of evolutionary theory in the classroom.
