Vote Against GA resolution Convention On Domestic Partnerships


General Assembly Vote Recommendation

Part of the Information for WA Voters program

Resolution at Vote: Convention On Domestic Partnerships
Vote Recommendation: Against

Resolution Analysis
This resolution grants same-sex couples most of responsibilities and rights given to different-sex couples. Although, it reserves member states the right to define marriage as they see fit, which potentially allows them to label and define same-sex couples as "different". While different-sex couples will be married, the same-sex couples will be in a "domestic partnership" under this resolution. Thus, given that marriage equality includes the right to be able to call your union a "marriage", which is not granted under this resolution, and since nations should not be able to subjugate same-sex couples to the ignominy of being different, we demand a resolution that explicitly gives same-sex couples the full right to marriage, having the mentioned concerns covered.

For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote against the resolution.
