WHEREAS those accused of criminal acts can be arrested without charges and held in jail in many Nationstates; and

WHEREAS, in many countries, no one can order the police forces to ask why those who are accused of criminal acts are being held; and

WHEREAS, those accused of crimes, including nonviolent ones can be held in jail forever without charges.

BELIEVING that a judiciary officer of the World Assembly or the Nationstate in which those accused of criminal acts is arrested has the right to declare Writ of Habeas Corpus, and demand that a legal representative of the police force explain why the detained is being held in jail, while still

OOC: Welcome to the World Assembly! Unfortunately, we've already had a number of resolutions on the topic of habeas corpus, one of which is still in effect (see here). It's a good idea to search that thread for keywords on your intended topic before you start drafting your proposal so you don't either waste your time or reinvent the wheel. If you have other ideas, give that thread a few searches, or have a look at this thread for proposal ideas. Good luck!

Good luck!
And congratulations on having the sense to post your idea here for feedback, instead of just going straight ahead and submitting it: Far too many new would-be-authors don't bother...

Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.
