General Assembly Resolution # 634
Repeal: “Protection of Sexual Assault Victims”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #632 “Protection of Sexual Assault Victims” (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Observing that, due to the word "strictly" in section 1(a), the immunities against punishment given to reporters of sexual assault are extremely narrow,
Believing that sexual assault reporters should not be punished for making such reports against marital partners, police officers, or persons in positions of power,
Concerned that reports would be chilled by the lack of such immunity and that such chilling would be a severe disservice for justice, and
Hopeful that the appropriate actors will soon advance legislation resolving flaws while integrating the necessary safeguards in a single cohesive resolution, hereby:
Repeals GA 632 "Protection of Sexual Assault Victims".
Passed: |
For: | 13,443 | 87.6% |
Against: | 1,899 | 12.4% |
