  • UN: Freedom of Press (voting ends Monday 21st June)

    Freedom of Press
    A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


    Category: Human Rights
    Strength: Strong
    Proposed by: Tuesday Heights
    Description:
    CONVINCED that the freedom of press is a vital part of every nation's fundamental right of expression and a vital part of every human's right to the truth and knowledge of one's given country and one's perception of other countries. Freedom of press allows objective members of society to highlight the good and the bad of a given nation and to allow for members of that nation and members not of that nation to see an unbiased account of the current state of a given country.

    DEEPLY DISTURBED by the quality of information on the state of the union in every member nation is widely disregarded to ignorance by the world because of lack of knowledge. Freedom of the press gives precedence to expanding the knowledge base of the current state of member and non-member nations alike.

    CONDEMNING the misinformation of governments to the world that wish not to share the everyday occurrences in a given country through strict control of what can and cannot be reported by all forms of the press.

    1. APPEALS to all member nations to enact legislature to allow immediate freedom of the press within their borders.

    2. URGES all member nations to send the press to neighboring countries, far away countries, and even to areas of combat to bring back the full story to its citizens.

    3. RECOMMENDS all members promote and expand the reaches of press within their given countries so that all citizens have some access to the news.

    4. SUPPORTS all member nations in an effort to expand their news capabilities with needed funds, government assistance, and trade agreements to conform to the new standards of freedom of press.

    Ceroo actively discourages it's citizens from entering areas of combat for their own safety, but it is because we have 'freedom of press' that they are still allowed to if the desire.

    Assurances from N3, CBC and ITVN that passing this resolution will help increase profitability (and therefore donations to the Conservative party) have been taken into consideration, but the government's position will be against. (As Parliament are on holidays this will not be put for vote, however the main party leaders have supported First Minister Morgan's decision).

      The Senate of Regnatoris is in support. The Senate has already consented to allowing freedom of press in the country.
