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 .
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.

Text of the Resolution
| Category: | Social Justice | Strength: | Significant | Proposed By: | Komokom |
|---|
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.

- a) Equal wages for all sexes.
