Repeal: GAR 443Imperial Division of Foreign Policy and Diplomatic ActionAuthor: Raslin Seretis, Imperial Diplomatic EnvoyCounsel: Tolarn Feren, Civil Oversight Representative
The World Assembly,
Appalled by the target resolution's utter failure to adequately protect innocent persons from execution, in favor of instituting an unaccountable and system of dual trial by an extranational court without appeal,
Confused by the target resolution's restriction of capital punishment based upon the population of a Member-State, entirely prohibiting smaller Member-States from utilizing capital punishment,
Disturbed by the clear function of the target resolution to deny the victims of mass murderers, participants of genocide, child molesters, and other extreme criminals, any form of closure or justice,
Deploring the target resolution's ham-fisted approach to wrongful conviction, akin to thinking that the best way to avoid traffic accidents is to tear up all the roads,
Understanding that despite the auspices of compromise, the target resolution requires bureaucratic delay of criminal proceedings that serve specifically to prevent any capital punishment from being carried out under its mandates, including:
- Prohibiting the committee from retaining documents which are required by the resolution to determine a lack of disqualifying irregularities,
- Mandates to the effect of requiring flawless and provably accurate knowledge of future events at the time of the trial,
- Allowing the defense in a criminal case wherein capital punishment is being considered to indefinitely delay the proceedings until such time that capital punishment becomes illegal,
- Allowing the defense to submit evidence with no restrictions, therefore requiring unverifiable, nonexistent, or outright fabricated evidence be accepted by the court,
Noting that the confluence of these mandates ensures that not only will criminals avoid appropriate sentence for crimes committed, they may also escape sentence entirely, by simply rendering prosecution impossible through the use of unverifiable evidence or indefinite delays, should capital punishment even be considerable by the court,
Hereby repeals Preventing the Execution of Innocents,
