A slew of repeals hit the queue recently, starting with this one, currently at vote until Monday:

QUOTE
Repeal "The Sex Industry Worker Act"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #91
Proposed by: SilentScope Embassy

Description: UN Resolution #91: The Sex Industry Worker Act (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UNDERSTANDING the goal behind the Sex Industry Worker Act which is to allow for "an happier, more content and more productive society" by legalizing prostitution,

NOTING however that the right for someone to choose to be a prostitute is already duplicated by Resolution #53 (Universal Freedom of Choice), as people has the freedom to choose to sell their own body, without "unreasonable interference",

FURTHER NOTING Resolution #192 (Sexual Privacy Act) which prohibits the criminalization of "any form of sexual activity", including prostitution, if it is done by consenting adults and done in private,

STATING that the rest of the resolution is worded with clauses that merely 'encourages' nations to change their behavior, but does nothing else,

CONCLUDING this resolution therefore to be nothing more than a duplicate of much more well-written resolutions that already protect prostitution,

DESIRING to remove useless resolutions to streamline bureaucracy,

The United Nations:
1) REPEALS Sex Industry Worker Act

Votes For: 4,349

Votes Against: 1,247

Voting Ends: Mon Feb 25 2008
