Fairness and Equality Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: SchutteGod
Description: The United Nations,
AFFIRMING the right of all people not to be targeted for abuse or discrimination based upon their gender, sexual orientation, or religious or cultural background;
RECOGNIZING the need for effective international anti-discrimination measures and additional protections for women and members of minority groups;
REGRETTING that Resolution #99: Discrimination Accord, while outlawing discriminatory practices by nations, may be interpreted as a prohibition of discrimination by governments only, while excluding discrimination by private groups, individuals and employers;
SEEKING to address the failures of past legislation in the area of human rights, much of which has been repealed on the grounds of ineffectiveness;
NOTING past affirmations of national prerogative on marriage and criminal-sentencing laws, somewhat limiting the scope of this remit;
Hereby enacts the following:
1. Unfair and unreasonable discrimination in employment, housing, education or access to services provided to the general public shall be prohibited by all member states, including discrimination based on a person's gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, skin color, language, economic or cultural background, physical/mental disability or condition, age, religion or belief system, sexual orientation or gender orientation;
2. Unprovoked violence against or intimidation of any person on previously stated grounds shall be a civil and criminal offense in all member states;
3. Nothing in this article shall be construed as to deny additional or stronger protections against discrimination and abuse already enacted by member states.

Well, after a long and heated discussion (snigger), the score stands at 1-0-1. Therefore, I will use Delegate's Discretion and vote IN FAVOUR of this resolution.
