Repeal: "Preventing The Execution of Innocents"
Category: Repeal | Target: GAR#XXX | Proposed by: hobbesistan
Noting the honorable intent of the resolution to prevent the execution of innocent peoples;
However deploring the resolution vastly overstretches this mandate to push a political agenda;
Noting that the resolution establishes draconian regulations, which, among other things, prohibit nations under one million people from using capital punishment at all;
Shocked that the resolution outright prohibits capital punishment in cases of any nonviolent crimes, including treason and espionage against the state;
Horrified that the resolution prohibits the use of capital punishment in cases that only "directly affect one person", allowing people who torture, murder, rape and commit other unthinkable acts against only one individual to escape capital punishment;
Further noting that under the language of this resolution deliberate, coordinated political assassinations of heads of states and foreign envoys can no longer be sentenced to capital punishment;
Uneasy about the resolutions proposed extreme controls of a Division on Capital Cases within the Judicial Committee of the Compliance Commission, which the resolution gives unethical power to overturn the decisions of sovereign national courts;
Hereby Repeals GAR#XXX, Preventing the Execution of Innocents.
