Description: The General Assembly,

Recognising the rights of individuals to privacy in their sexual relationships,

Resolving to uphold and protect this right from undue interference, while

Affirming that society in general has a legitimate public interest in
- preventing procreation in incestuous unions,
- restricting the exploitation of vulnerable or underage individuals, and
- enforcing fair sexual ethics in professions,

Hereby:

1) Defines “individual sexual activity”, for the purposes of this resolution, as acts undertaken individually without any other participant for the purposes of achieving sexual arousal of the individual,

2) Defines “collective sexual activity”, for the purposes of this resolution, as acts undertaken with at least one other participant for the purposes of achieving sexual arousal of one or more of the participants,

3) Defines “age of consent” as the age at which an individual is considered by local law to be legally responsible for actively consenting to engage in collective sexual activity,

4) Establishes the right of all individuals to privacy in their individual sexual activities,

5) Establishes the right of individuals who have reached the age of consent to privacy in their sexual relationships and collective sexual activities,

6) Mandates that member states shall not restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise any individual sexual activity where such individual sexual activity is practised in private and away from public exposure,

7) (a) Mandates that member states shall not restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise any collective sexual activity between consenting individuals who have reached the age of consent where such collective sexual activity is practised in private and away from public exposure, save that

(b) Member states are permitted to establish in law prohibited degrees of consanguinity and may restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise sexual activity between individuals falling within a prohibited degree of consanguinity but only to the extent that such sexual activity could result in procreation, or

(c) In respect of collective sexual activity by individuals who have responsibility for or authority over another individual, member states are permitted to restrict, regulate, proscribe or criminalise such collective sexual activity, but shall only hold accountable in law the individual in the position of responsibility or authority, or

(d) Member states are permitted to allow the exercise of disciplinary power by organisations on members and employees who engage in sexual activity with individuals for whom they are directly professionally responsible or otherwise directly exercise authority over,

8) Establishes the right of member states not to set an age of consent, in which case the protections of clauses 5 & 7 (a) shall apply only to individuals who are otherwise considered legally competent to conduct their own affairs within the particular jurisdiction,

9) Requires that member states exercise their discretionary powers under this resolution in a fair, unbiased and non-discriminatory manner. Should a member state or subdivisions thereof implement a national or local age of consent or legal competence law, such laws shall make no reference to the gender status or the sexual orientation of the participating individuals nor shall collective sexual activities be subcategorised in such laws.

The author made some confusion with letters and numbers in clause 7. :P

Greetings folks. Many thanks to your delegate, Libetarian Republics, for directing me here.

I ask for your votes in favour of this resolution. A very brief summary is:

1) This replaces the Sexual Privacy Act which was repealed a few months ago.
2) This resolution permits member states to legislate on incest, but only where there is a chance that procreation can result. The repeal of the SPA rested on the inability of member states to restrict incest where children would be likely to have congenital disorders resulting. Therefore, we included this exception here at 7b
3) It also allows member states to legislate against breaches of professional ethics , eg in doctor-patient relationships.
4) It allows professional bodies to also discipline members for such breaches of professional ethics.
5) If a nation doesn't set an age of consent, the expectation of privacy only extends to relationships where both parties are above the national age of majority.
6) Otherwise, it keeps governments out of people's bedrooms.

And yes, teh numbers/letters in clause 7 is a little off, but by putting the first part as 7(a) I was able to reference it in clause 8.

I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Against.

This proposal is poorly written, children do not have a right to sexual privacy, and incest itself is harmful to society and ought to be criminalized because it undermines the family.

I stand firmly against the notion that the World Assembly should be able to place a blanket ban on incest. Despite my personal views on the subject, member nations should be able to decide for themselves whether two consenting adults should be allowed to partake in intercourse, regardless of their family ties.

Part of me wants to say the exceptions in 7 b c, & d should be mandates, not mere permissions, binding upon nations instead of optional courses they may take if they like. I guess there's also a small extent to which that's properly a national issue. It'd be interesting to see if a broader law on sexual harassment or employer exploitation of consent would be ruled legal should this pass.

Overall, support.

In Favour!

Ambrosia, It doesn't blanket ban incest - it allows them to ban incest where procreation is possible.
