The World Assembly,
Annoyed by the continued insistence on passing legislation that will merely facilitate legal abuses,
Convinced that there exist cases wherein the harshest punishments available to Member-States are not merely justified, but a moral imperative,
Recognizing that in such cases, there will all but certainly exist such an incredible excess of evidence that wrongful conviction is effectively impossible,
And seeking to immediately prevent any further abuses of criminal justice systems,
Hereby:
Reserves to member states the right to carry out capital punishment for genocide or war crimes, as defined by the World Assembly,
Mandates:Prohibits:
- That Member-States provide to prisoners sentenced to capital punishment accessible legal counsel and support, including access to appeals and stays of execution,
- The use of the highest reasonable standards of evidence when considering the use of capital punishment,
- That all executions be held at a reasonable date past sentencing, following any processing time for applicable legal requests, inquiries, and appeals,
- Any Member-State from sentencing or carrying out capital punishment for any other crime,
- The sentencing of any individual under the age of majority, or any individual deemed legally incompetent, to capital punishment,
- The practice of summary or otherwise extrajudicial executions,
