[DRAFT]Prohibition of Discourse on Capital Punishment
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2018 4:51 pmThe World Assembly,
Restating, that capital punishment creates a model of justice for crimes exceeding others in malice and horrific results, a model beneficial in demonstrating a society's sense of justice and protection of citizens against individuals likely to repeat the same atrocities;
Restating, that capital punishment must be conducted in a humane manner that is not designed to be cruel or painful, such as thoroughly tested lethal injection and long rope hanging,
Concerned, that the potential restriction of capital punishment prevents nations from deterring violent criminals by demonstrating a lack of conviction by a nation-state in prevent public risks from being dealt with in a swift manner that prevents further crimes by their hand;
Believing, that although life sentences and other alternative punishments provide criminals with the opportunities to repent for their wrongs and improve their habits, the risk of escape and the unyielding convictions of some dangerous criminals leave the death penalty as the only foolproof solution,
Abhorring, that some nations attempt to remove this institution from legal bodies based on the assumption that innocent convictions are more valuable than removing a societal danger that may result in harm to innocents,
Asserting, that justice is best served with the threat of the death penalty as it condemns the worst criminals to death and removes the risk of their further committing of crimes,
Asserting, that sapient life is not inherently meant to be protected as it is the actions of those given life that should determine their value in society,
The General Assembly, invoking its purpose in creating a world with better stability, hereby:
1. Declares that no resolutions seeking to restrict a nation's right to maintain capital punishment shall be entertained in this chamber,
2. Declares that all nations shall be allowed to restrict the use of capital punishment in their own judicial systems,
3. Mandates that member nations shall complete any death sentences handed down within their jurisdiction without cruel and unusual methods,
4. Calls of the creation of the International Sentencing Moderation Committee to safeguard against cruel and unusual executions in ways such as, but not limited to;
a. Ensuring a nation has the facilities to conduct an execution that does not cause undue pain and suffering to the condemned,
b. Transporting the condemned to be executed in a different state should the nation where the punishment was handed be found to lack proper capabilities to conduct a humane execution,
c. Ensuring all condemned have been granted fair trials with conclusive evidence demonstrating their guilt.
