Don't Kill the Poor Act
Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Wallenburg

Celebrating a history of protecting essential sapient rights,

Recognizing historical efforts to prohibit genocide and guarantee equal rights for the citizens of member states,

Concerned

1. Recognizes systematic or otherwise intentional and statistically disproportionate violence perpetrated against a group, forceful isolation of a group in designated areas, removal of a group from designated areas, or the forceful institution of population controls on a group as acts of genocide,
   
   
2. Highlights that case-by-case imprisonment of, displacement of, or use of force against individuals does not target a general group, and so does not constitute genocide,
   
   
3. Renders crimes against humanity any acts of genocide against any group on the basis of economic status or employment,
   
   
4. Requires member states to render aid to individuals escaping genocide on the basis of their economic status or employment, and to consider such persons refugees.

This proposal seeks to close an existing loophole in the Convention on Genocide that doesn't prohibit genocide based on economic class, which is why i am voting for it.
