ACKNOWLEDGING the reasons stated behind the resolution by the author to highlight a system of judicial values whereby the convicted criminal is seen to have paid their debts to the offended society in full by time served incarcerated are shared by many members,
REMINDS the assembly that not all societies represented within this international body agree that such debts are paid when incarcerated criminals are released and that the deprivation of a vote is just as valid of an ongoing punishment as additional years of incarceration or probation,
FURTHER suggests that the lack of a civil vote within society due to previous incarceration can be used successfully as a non-violent and inexpensive means of deterrence to potential criminals,
OBJECTS to this blatant disregard of national sovereignty in reference to the operation of detailed and often highly complex inner workings of member nation’s criminal justice systems by this body without proper research or forethought.
