To be clear; the Bloc is firmly against slavery in all forms.

Relevantly, however, despite the targeted title, - and its rare recognition of systemic violence as violence, - the proposal is both rhetorically, and legislatively toothless. You may have noticed that this is a Security Council recommendation, not a General Assembly one. Per the General Assembly, Slavery - with very few highly regrettable exceptions, - is already universally banned within Member-States.

While we certainly don't object to such a vocal condemnation of it where it exists beyond the World Assembly's ability to prevent, this is not a serious attempt at such. Nonetheless, we are disinclined to reward legislation that does not include so much as the bare-minimum of argument.

As such, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs has issued Kethania NO RECOMMENDATION on Declaration Against Slavery and its Violence, and urges the Bloc's World Assembly nations to vote their conscience.
