Ms. Budai Dalma
Representative of the Second Directorial Republic of Endralon to the World Congress Security Council

Honorable Persons of this August Council, after years of hard work, and as the result of this hard work, the Endralonian delegation would introduce a significant amount of proposals for you, with the goal to reform, improve and strengthen the World Congress, this mighty institution dedicated to unite all nations under the banner of humanity. The Directorial Republic is a constant follower of the idea of what we call the "global republic", and we are aware, this initiative only can exist if there is common principles, institutions and there is common strength. Our newest proposals will try to create these three, with admitting that the 51st Session already established many of those principles, institutions and given common strength to our Globe.

As a Directorial Republic, built on feminism, gender equality and personal freedom as pillars, Endralon thinks that an amount of sexual and personal freedom should be a basic principle of this World Congress, even if the Honorable Countries decide on their own laws independently. Many of our fellow women and men, our fellow humans suffering the institution of forced marriage all across Terra, forced to have sex/live a life through with a person they absolutely do not want. Freedom of marriage is a human right, and no one shall be forced into suffering and misery for his or her entire life. As a quick note, this Resolution-proposal will not relate to the institution of arranged marriage, this is strictly and just about the institution of forced marriage.

World Congress Security Council Resolution XXX - Prohobition of forced marriage

RECOGNIZES, that many people suffering from marriages, both civil and religious (including any kind of religions), that they were force to enter without their consent and/or knowledge;

RECOGNIZES, that this method is against the 17th point of the World Congress Security Council Resolution 100 aka World Congress Declaration of Natural Human Rights;

DECIDES, that the World Congress Security Council hereby prohibit the use of the institution of forced marriage for its member-states;

PROMISES, that the World Congress will enforce this resolution on member-states, through automatically sanction and condemn countries that are not in compliance with this resolution.

Ms. Fahime Khalili, Aldegarian Permanent Representative to the World Congress:

Aldegar is satisfied with the intention and purpose of this resolution but proposes a slight alteration in language, specifically to emphasise that forced marriage is a gendered issue that disproportionately affects girls and young women. Please see our revised resolution below.

The Security Council,

Recognising that many people across the globe are forced into marriage against their will and without consent,

Affirming that forced marriage constitutes a violation of natural human rights as outlined in Security Council Resolution 100,

Understanding that forced marriage is a human rights issue that disproportionately impacts women and girls;

Resolves that forced marriage shall be prohibited for all World Congress member states;

Holds that all member states should take action against those who violate this prohibition, through diplomatic and economic means;

Directs the World Congress Human Rights Office to support member states in efforts to confront and eradicate forced marriage.
