P Innocents, among other things, prevents member nations from exerting undue influence on defence counsel to misrepresent clients. This is necessary to ensure fair trials and stop wrongful, especially politically motivated, convictions. Moreover, P Innocents also stops people from being removed from World Assembly jurisdiction to face charges which break World Assembly law. Member nations should not be permitted to bus people they dislike to an off-shore island or some black site in some non-WA country so they can violate human rights.
