General Assembly Resolution #355 “Rights of Sapient Species” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly (WA),
Applauds the intention of GAR#355 to protect the rights of all sapient species, reflecting the diversity of species across the multiverse;
Notes, however, that the target resolution has significant flaws that neuter its ability to protect the rights of sapient species, namely the lack of a definition over what constitutes:
- “mentally ill” under paragraph 6 of the resolution, thus allowing for varying and potentially malicious interpretations in the absence of any WA resolutions to the contrary, and
- “normal” adult humans under paragraph 8 of the resolution, thus granting broad discretion to each WA state to interpret this clause at will, noting differences in age, maturity and other matters;
Believes that the WA already has numerous resolutions in place that protect the rights of sapient individuals; and
Strives for a replacement that rectifies such defects, and the lack of clarity in the target resolution, if the WA deems it necessary; hereby
Repeals GA#355, “Rights of Sapient Species.”
