ban the death penalty

[Confederate provinces of the colonies]

we need to pass a resolution to ban the death penalty worldwide. It is outdated and barbaric, there are also other alternatives to this, such as life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Even though most countries have banned, some countries still use it, and that is a disgrace.

You think that locking someone in a cell, feeding them prison gruel, constant threat of physical or sexual assault, locked in a cage for year after year until they die is less barbaric than simply ending it there? Life imprisonment without parole is far worse.

While I'm against the death penalty it may seem a little odd but the world has an over population problem. Keeping this up may help in the slightest.

We already have legislation protecting the right of nations to execute criminals.

Not every prison is runned US-style. There are civilised nations too

[Barikistan]

Yeah come to Australia we don't even have a death penalty and our prisioners are not treated like that.

[Blaccakre]

Opposed. Not an international issue.

Compared to a lot of nations, U.S. prisons are essentially Caribbean resorts.

that is a logical fallacy, it actually costs more to execute an inmate than it does to house them for life.

my point is that the state should not have the right to take human life, we should just throw them in cells, and let them rot living a monotonous life.

It helps decrease crime, such as if you wanted to go murder a person would you still do it or put yourself in that situation if Capital Punishment was around?

[Dwallamdarrow]

Hey, I support your point. I'm Australian, we don't have the death penalty. I would just suggest presenting your suggestion in a more professional format.

Lel, just let the bad guys walk free then.

Overview: the death penalty is barbaric and outdated, and only 36 countries still use it today, with the exception of Saudi arabia, iran, us, ect.
Innocent people have the possibility of being executed, along with it just being cruel and unusual. That is why most countries today reject it.

THE ACT
article 1 : that the use of capital punishment thereof will be abolished throughout the world assembly and the countries associated with said world assembly.
article 2: that all inmates under sentence of death have their sentences commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
article 3 : that life without parole will serve as an alternative, and be a mandatory sentence for first degree murder ( capital murder ) ect.
article 4 : that countries failing to comply with guidelines shall be penalized through the act of condemning said countries.

Well, since just pointing out there is already a resolution which covers this, and providing the link to that resolution has also failed, here is tge resolution:

World Assembly Resolution #112
Postby Imperium Anglorum » Fri Oct 15, 2010 6:01 pm

Convention on Execution
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Glen-Rhodes

Description: Understanding the signficiant moral and ethical challenges of capital punishment,

Acknowledging that the extremes of both ends of the debate cannot be fairly applied across the entire World Assembly,

Wishing to uphold the sovereignty of this facet of national penal law, but to also prevent unconscionable use of capital punishment,

The World Assembly hereby

1. Defines for the purpose of this resolution:
a. “Execution” as the lawfully sponsored and orchestrated death of an individual as their punishment for committing a crime;
b. “Summary execution” as the execution of an individual without a trial as stipulated by this resolution;
c. “Extrajudicial execution” as the act of extraditing an individual to or otherwise placing an individual into the custody of a non-member nation, with the intent of allowing that nation to execute that individual outside of the regulations of this resolution;

2. Grants the right of member nations to allow the use of execution in accordance with the regulations of this act, with deference to active regulations in previously passed resolutions;

3. Establishes exceptions to article 2 for the following persons:
a. Those who are pregnant,
b. Those who lack the mental capacity needed to understand the wrongfulness of their crime, or to conform their behavior to the law,
c. Children and those with equivalent mental capacity;

4. Requires that a trial in which execution is a possible punishment be separated into two parts, wherein the first part determines guilt or innocence and the second part decides the applicability and merits of an execution;

5. Prohibits the use of summary execution and extrajudicial execution, and requires that a fair and equitable route of seeking monetary compensation and justice for the family of victims of such executions be devised by each member nation;

6. Encourages any nation that has legalized execution to restrict its use to the most extreme cases and to provide a route for seeking commutation or pardon;

7. Declares that this resolution shall not be construed to deny additional regulations on execution, where seen necessary and proper by the World Assembly to prevent miscarriages of justice.

And, i might add, written a lot better than what is being discussed here.

[Grays Harbor]

You already started a thread for this. Don't start a new one every time you update your draft.

Which is still illegal for contradicting Resolution 112. You've been provided a link numerous times. Read it.

[Leppikania]

I see three different rules this runs afoul of.

[Reploid Productions]

You only need ONE thread for your proposal draft. You can edit your opening post to update or add newer versions of your proposal. I've merged your two threads into a single one. Do not start another one for this proposal.

While I disagree with the death penalty, I believe that should be the prerogative of individual nations.
