It also delves into issues that aren't commonly understood to deal with the writ of habeas corpus. Article 7 is the closest thing to the actual writ itself. The rest may deal with due process rights, but not necessarily habeas corpus, and there is no reason for the World Assembly to be dictating due process rights with this kind of specificity.
While we do not necessarily agree with all of the arguments put forth in this repeal, Glen-Rhodes does support the overall repeal campaign. Furthermore, we suggest that the World Assembly establish the writ of habeas corpus throughout all member states, but also create a human rights court that can adjudicate on whether or not a state's implementation of the writ is acceptable under modern democratic principles.
Thanks for your support (and apologies to all for the double-post, but my previous post was getting a bit lengthy as-is), and I agree that the writ of habeas corpus should be established within WA member nations, which is why I can tentatively support the replacement draft being put forward by Santaria here. (I say "tentatively support" because the draft is not yet final, and I reserve the right to object should some horrendous provisions be added. )
Thanks again,
