A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#430
Proposed by: Magecastle Embassy Building A5
General Assembly Resolution #430 “Freedom of Religion” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Believing that the protection of religious individuals from unfair persecution is indeed important, and accordingly respecting the resolution's intent to protect religious individuals,
Affirming that a replacement resolution has already been drafted, so as to ensure that religious freedoms are still protected internationally after repeal of the target, yet
Saddened that the resolution's mandate that restrictions on religious practices only be "the least restrictive means" to advance certain interests prevents member nations from advancing "safety, health, or good order" through more restrictive, albeit also more effective, means, including prohibiting cannibalism wholesale to address the practice's inherent health risks, as opposed to eg licensing and disease testing mandates which are less restrictive but also far less effective,
Emphasising that the requirement that restrictions on religious practices only be to advance interests in "health, safety, or good order" is also too narrow, as there are many other reasons that a member nation might want to restrict a religious practice, such as preventing sacrifice of endangered animals to advance environmental protection, the World Assembly
Declares "Freedom of Religion" null and void.

As much as I like freedom of religion, cannibalism shouldn't be legal and it should be possible to restrict certain religious practices that are downright damaging. I assume that the replacement will be suitable. FOR.
