Passport harmonisation

Description: As the peoples of the world learn more of other nations the urge to travel and broaden cultural horizons has naturally increased. Border formalities are hampered customs officials finding themselves increasingly baffled by the variety of personal identification each nation requires. A UN standardisation initiative would see world citizens issued with documentation which presents personal information in a single format, easing stress and delays at Customs and Immigration facilities. Tourism generates significant revenues alongside the cutural benefits and UN intervention would stimulate growth in this area of each nation's economy.

Each nation would be able to present its travel documentation in a manner and design which reflects its own culture and traditions as long as it contained the standard information.

The Dominion of Drunken Hosers is troubled by the vagueness of this resolution. What information would be required to appear on the document, and how would it be used?

Drunken Hosers are well-known for their hospitality, and appreciate the desire to open borders to travellers. However, our first concern is for the rights of the individual Hoser. Without assurances that this unified travel document will not be used as a tool of oppression, we cannot support this motion. Drunken Hosers, somewhat reluctantly, votes no.

I agree with DH. I'd vote against it. But since I only have the tie breaking vote, I guess I'm out of luck :)

The resolution "Passport harmonisation" was passed, 16174 votes to 3817, and implemented in all UN member nations.

I'd like to thank all 19 of you who voted. That is a record for a UN poll.
