No Platform is a policy of the National Union of Students (NUS) of the United Kingdom. Like other no platform policies, it asserts that no proscribed person or organisation should be given a platform to speak, nor should a union officer share a platform with them. The policy traditionally applies to entities that the NUS considers racist or fascist, most notably the British National Party, although the NUS and its liberation campaigns have policies refusing platforms to other people or organisations. The policy does not extend to students' unions who are part of NUS, although similar policies have also been adopted by its constituent unions. == How the policy works == The No Platform policy, as defined in the NUS's articles of association provide that no "individuals or members of organisations or groups identified by the Democratic Procedures Committee as holding racist or fascist views" may stand for election to any NUS position, or attend or speak at any NUS function or conference. Furthermore, officers, committee members, or trustees may not share a platform with any racist or fascist.〔()〕 The list of proscribed organisations, as of May 2012, includes the following organisations:〔()〕 *Al-Muhajiroun; *British National Party; *English Defence League; *Hizb-ut-Tahrir; *Muslim Public Affairs Committee. The NUS also has policy refusing platforms to people or organisations for other reasons: the NUS LGBT Campaign (and formerly, also the Women's Campaign) refuses platforms to those they consider to be transphobic, including Julie Bindel;〔()〕 and the National Executive Committee has policy refusing a platform to those it considers to be rape deniers or rape apologists, following George Galloway's statements about rape when asked about the allegations of sexual assault facing Julian Assange.〔Dina Rickman ("George Galloway Banned By The NUS For Julian Assange 'Rape' Comments" ), ''The Huffington Post'', 27 September 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NUS No Platform Policy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
