Gargoyle Minority Protection Act
"Gargoyle Minority Protection Act" - An act adopted by the United Nations.
History
At some point between 1996 and 2188 in large part due to Goliath's sacrifice of his life and the efforts of gargoyles and their allies to improve their reputation among humans, the United Nations approved the Gargoyle Minority Protection Act (GMPA). It granted the gargoyles basic rights as a protected minority, treating the scattered clans around the world as a single nation-state (refered to simply as the Gargoyle Nation), and made it a crime to hunt gargoyles. (Unfortunately, it did not completely remove human prejudice against gargoyles and groups such as the Quarrymen continued to exist. The gargoyles were willing to accept what they could, however.)
Apocrypha
Though the GMPA could have been passed at any point between 1996 (the year gargoyles were revealed to the world) and 2188 (the earliest year known that the Gargoyle Nation was in existence), Greg Weisman has stated that "...I'm fairly certain that 2008 is way too early for the GMPA to have passed."
