The Sexes Rights Law
Contents
History of the Resolution
Development
Sexes Rights began here as a proposal from The Black New World. After a topic's worth of discussion, a decision was reached, splitting the large proposal into two different parts, as follows:
- The Human Rights portion, to be developed by The Black New World as The Sexes Rights Act.
- The Social Justice portion, to be developed by Komokom as The Sexes Rights Law.
With much input from (acting UN Mod) Cogitation on what bits belonged where, the two drafts were finally ready for submission.
Submission
Komokom's The Sexes Rights Law successfully reached quorum the first time through. The Black New World's The Sexes Rights Act, later retitled Equality of The Sexes, did not. The Komokom proposal entered the voting phase on 11 August, 2004, and passed on 15 August, with a majority of 72.9% of all voting members and delegate blocks.
Commentary
Commentary initially revolved around the recognition of more than two possilbe genders. This was addressed by discussions of the societal third gender and the biological "combinations other than XX & XY, most of which involve a third element, XXY and XYY are the two common examples." Also under consideration were the usual sovereignty arguments.
- The Empire of Raventhrall deeply objects to, not the concept behind the issue at hand, but the idea of there being more than two sexes.
The Black New World: Yet it is an idea that some countries hold. We said sexes instead of sex for that reason, If you have two you can apply it to your existing laws but if a 'sci-fi' nation has, say, five. they can apply this proposal without leaving anyone out. This resolution does not force recognition of a third sex but it allows countries who recognise a third sex to give them the same rights.
- Kaiser Wilhelm VI of Gomostan doesnt support this law.This is a foolish law.Woman must be enslaved.Atleast in our country thye are enslaved.Its for the better.Thats how it should must be and it should be forever !Even I have slaves,something like 14 slaves.
Komokom: The U.N. already has anti-slave law passed. Which you must as a member obey. Because thats how the game works. You know have three options, leave the U.N. and keep your slaves, stay and release them, or be ignored by every serious player, while at the same time having your credibility ripped to bits.
Next please.
- It basically encourages the segregation of sexes by requiring a center for each seperate sex. I believe in making centers for those that have been abused, but requiring one for each sex is segregrationalist.
The Black New World: This was one of the ideas that came over from the women's rights proposal. The idea being that abused spouses will be able to seek help. With a centre for each sex they are able to cater to the needs of the residents more (such as having a gynaecologist). It's also the repressed sex (if there is one) can be given a leg up.
- ...and could even encourage homosexuality.
The Black New World: Because women living together will become lesbians, because men living together become gay? I would think people in these centres wouldn't be prisoners and would be able to interact with society. If you are worried that these centres, through therapy, could encourage people who are already attracted to the same sex to be more happy with there sexuality. Well, I hope you are right.
- Desertica:' I also do not believe that the Desertican governement should recognize transexuals.
Frisbeeteria: The Desertican government is therefore likely to have a few rude surprises when it takes home 'girls' it picked up in bars. You might want to reconsider the recognition aspect of that statement. Just a thought.

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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
