[DEFEATED] Prohibiting Racism

The Assembly of Worlds,

Aware that additional legislation on this topic can be passed, but that racial discrimination is an extremely pressing matter requiring an immediate address,

Believing that all persons are deserving of equal rights, including those rights which have been established by this Assembly, and that they should not be denied these rights for arbitrary and hateful reasons,

Clarifying that nothing in this resolution shall prevent this Assembly from issuing further resolutions expanding on the rights of racial and ethnic minorities,

Hereby:

  1. Prohibits member nations from establishing or enforcing any laws that discriminate against their inhabitants on the basis of race, national origin, or ethnicity;
  2. Mandates that member nations shall not deny any basic, established rights or privileges to their inhabitants on the basis of race, national origin, or ethnicity;
  3. Allows nations to make exception to Article 1 only where such laws are necessary and intended to promote equity between racial and ethnic minorities, such as to correct for systemic inequality caused by historical oppression;

And Reminds this Assembly once more that nothing in this resolution prevents this Assembly from passing, for example, a resolution on discrimination in employment by private entities.
