Believing that forcing member nations to forsake the death penalty creates a contradiction with the democratic ideals of the World Assembly, whereby member nations are forced to ignore the will of their people,
Noting that the desire of the original proposal is to “spend money currently dedicated to the substantial administrative and legal costs of pursuing death penalties on enforcement or rehabilitation programmes”, but that the original proposal does not clarify what these programs are, how to implement them, or how to assess their effectiveness,
Believing that this ambiguity is detrimental to the functionality of the criminal justice system, especially in poor nations where the introduction of ineffective programs can severely drain the financial resources of the Justice Department,
Noting that the proposal believes the “[Application of the death penalty] targets the mentally ill, socio-economically disadvantaged, and members of racial and cultural minorities”,
Noting that most nations with the death penalty enforce stringint laws to prevent the execution of the mentally ill,
Believing that the issue of using the death penalty to target racial and cultural minorities and the socio-economically disadvantaged is part of a larger systemic issue of disparity in the justice departments of individual nations, and that the abolition of the death penalty does not directly mitigate this effect,
Noting that the criminals who have been sentenced to death were convicted in a fair trial by a jury of their peers,
Further noting that substantial opportunity for appeal and stay of execution exists in nations with the death penalty,
Believing that this sufficiently mitigates the risk of false execution through ample opportunity to introduce reasonable doubt,

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Unify The Eight corners of The World Official communique from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Kandorith. On the resolution: Repeal Death Penalty Ban In instance we do not support the formulation of this resolution. It has a lot of room for improvement, yet our stance remains unchanged. The Empire is for this repeal as the death penalty is a corner stone in our criminal law for the heaviest of crimes. We believe a criminal who's interest is destabilizing, terrorizing and destroying our way of life is in no way fit for rehabilitation or normal persecution. With the memory fresh of terrorist attacks in our nation, the only answer is to try them to the death penalty. The Empire of Kanyori considers the death penalty the ultimate punishment for crimes where there is no redemption of the criminal and immeasurable grief and suffering for the victims. Where no reparation can be offered: the death of the criminal is the reparation, so that this may not happen again. In The Name of Her Majesty The Empress, Empress Masumi: Her Excellency, Ambassador Noriko Miyamoto. |

- an honest mistake? Particularly the reference to "a jury of their peers." GA#37 "Fairness in Criminal Trials" doesn't actually mandate the use of juries in trials - it only "COMMENDS to the consideration of member nations a jury of the accused's peers as such trial adjudicators."
