===Condemnation of Religious Cannibalism===
Discussion on the topic of condemning cannibalism for religious rites was held from July 28 to August 4. Voting for the Opinion was held from August 4 to August 12. The text of the Resolution was as follows: '''The General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organization condemns the practice of cannibalism for religious rites.''' The topic was proposed by the Secretariat. Opinions of member states ranged from categorical condemnation of cannibalism to nuanced positions of "consensual cannibalism" to disposal of corpses by means of ceremonial ingestion. The resolution failed to achieve unanimity, so the Opinion failed to become a non-binding resolution. 
 
===Condemnation of Genocide===
Discussion on the topic was held from August 4 until August 10. Voting began on August 10 and will conclude on August 17. The topic was proposed by the Secretariat, and the text of the resolution was amended and expanded by the Elwnnese delegation. The final wording of the resolution was: '''The General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organization condemns the practice of genocide, the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation without due cause. Where a nation has embarked upon active measures against a population group within its borders it shall report this to the General Assembly so as to permit a debate as to whether the action is warranted or should be condemned as an unwarranted genocide.''' The debate on genocide was notable for the interactions between [[Graecia]] and [[Chryse]], which resulted in the [[Chryse–Graecia Friendship Treaty]] which transferred the entire population of the [[Tarr people]] of Graecia to Chryse.

Revision as of 16:02, 12 August 2020

The General Assembly of the MTO can pass non-binding resolutions known as MTO Opinions that become the official stance of the MTO and General Assembly. While the outcome of the Opinions may generally align with the policies of MTO member nations, it is important to remember that MTO Opinions are non-binding, and do not necessarily reflect the positions of its member nations.

MTO Opinions

Condemnation of Chattel Slavery

The first Opinion passed by the General Assembly was a condemnation against the practice of chattel slavery. The topic was proposed by the Secretariat and not an MTO member. Discussion lasted from July 20, 2020, until July 27, 2020. Voting was conducted from July 27 until August 3, 2020, during which all votes were cast in favor of the Opinion. The exact text of the non-binding resolution is as follows: The General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organization condemns the practice of chattel slavery. The Batavian delegation expressed support for the condemnation during debate but did not vote. The Ralgon delegation expressed concern over the condemnation during debate but also did not vote.

Condemnation of Religious Cannibalism

Discussion on the topic of condemning cannibalism for religious rites was held from July 28 to August 4. Voting for the Opinion was held from August 4 to August 12. The text of the Resolution was as follows: The General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organization condemns the practice of cannibalism for religious rites. The topic was proposed by the Secretariat. Opinions of member states ranged from categorical condemnation of cannibalism to nuanced positions of "consensual cannibalism" to disposal of corpses by means of ceremonial ingestion. The resolution failed to achieve unanimity, so the Opinion failed to become a non-binding resolution.

Condemnation of Genocide

Discussion on the topic was held from August 4 until August 10. Voting began on August 10 and will conclude on August 17. The topic was proposed by the Secretariat, and the text of the resolution was amended and expanded by the Elwnnese delegation. The final wording of the resolution was: The General Assembly of the Micras Treaty Organization condemns the practice of genocide, the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation without due cause. Where a nation has embarked upon active measures against a population group within its borders it shall report this to the General Assembly so as to permit a debate as to whether the action is warranted or should be condemned as an unwarranted genocide. The debate on genocide was notable for the interactions between Graecia and Chryse, which resulted in the Chryse–Graecia Friendship Treaty which transferred the entire population of the Tarr people of Graecia to Chryse.
