Prisoners' Rights (VOTING)

Postby Potere al Popolo » Thu Jun 06, 2019 11:07 am

Believing firmly in rehabilitation and universal human rights,

Asserting, therefore, introduction of Prisoners' Rights in all nations;

Concerned that violation of Prisoners' Rights is also a violation of civil rights,

Distressed that with the current system doesn't prevent prisoners to do crimes ever,

Noting that this resolution also makes prisoners helpful,

Clearing up that this resolution will affect only nations that employ prisons,

Defining prisoners as following:
-A person incarcerated in a prison or jail or similar facility.
-Prisoner of war, a combatant or non-combatant in wartime, held by a belligerent power
-Political prisoner, someone held in prison for their ideology.
-A person forcibly detained against his will, such as a victim of kidnapping; such prisoners may be held hostage, or held to ransom, but not necessarily in a prison or similar facility.

Hereby mandates that all WA states to keep a minimum of prisoners' rights:

1§ Education in prisons;

2§ Prisoners shouldn't be punished cruelly or unusually

3§ Personal property such as: stationary, a watch, cosmetics, and snack-food

4§ Freedom of practicing his/her religion

5§ Work in socially useful jobs, such as infrastructure plans, agriculture, and casual jobs to help the elderly;

6§ The right to make a lawsuit against someone;


My first GA proposal by the way :)

(OOC: Welcome to the General Assembly. Well done for putting a draft here on the forums, but it should be noted that putting a proposal on the GA board should occur before, not simultaneously to, submission. This is so that those who dwell here can give advice on how to improve your proposal.

For instance, you haven’t made any qualifications on what are the prisoners to which this applies. Therefore, you are mandating that mass murderers and serial killers must be allowed to do work, such as helping the elderly. Personally, I wouldn’t want any person who has caused multiple deaths to be let out of prison. Also, this partially duplicates Medical Standards in Prisons, though not enough to become illegal.)

Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

Okay, how shall I edit it?
Shall I delete it and remake it?

For one thing, draft it here instead of submit-withdraw-submit-withdraw-etc.
For another, you are pretty much duplicating #18 and #194.

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

(OOC: I suggest for you to withdraw your proposal from submission, by deleting it from the pool of submitted pieces of legislation, and then listen to what people here have to say about your proposals. However, as GH has pointed out, this does duplicate two extent resolutions. If you can find a way to develop this idea into something unique, go for it, otherwise, it may be best to abandon this and possible return later with a new concept.)
