A vote on this proposal will start in three or four hours.

In-game debate thread: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=342722

Repeal "Rights of Indigenous Peoples"
Proposed by Imperium Anglorum
Distressed and mortified that 'Rights of Indigenous Peoples' would allow culturally distinct minority groups to circumvent the legitimate authority of member nations, as the resolution attempts to '[prohibit] member nations from ... limiting [indigenous] culture[s]' in clause (5),

Maintaining that it is a violation of human rights to make some groups 'more equal' than others,

Concerned that the resolution permits ritual murder, as ritual murders are not prohibited by international law,

Believing that ritual murder is immoral and a violation of human rights,

Further disapproving of the resolution as it prohibits governments from pursuing public health initiatives or executing infrastructure programmes for economic development in their own sovereign territory if there are beliefs to the contrary,

Confident that international economic development is important for the functioning of the free society and building of the modern society,

The World Assembly hereby,

Repeals the resolution on the 'Rights of Indigenous Peoples'.

For.

I'm not a big fan of this repeal proposal, but I'll support it for the reason that I opposed Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The resolution prevents member states from enforcing a number of legitimate criminal laws, such as laws against infanticide and sati, in tribal territories if such immoral practices are part of the tribal culture.

I've voted aye. We voted against the original proposal. I'll be honest and say I'd like to see an indigenous peoples accord like the UN Declaration down the road - it's just this one was tosh.

This repeal is not particularly convincing, but I'll be reluctantly voting aye. I'm growing tired of IA's hyberbole and his disturbing mistrust of indigenous peoples.

Really don't see why people shouldn't vote against for this very reason. I mean really. Human sacrifice?! How fucking stupid does the author think the voters are?
