[Passed] Repeal "International Criminal Protocol"

Postby Greater Cesnica » Sun Dec 13, 2020 3:40 pm

Replacement Draft for protecting Prison Conditions: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=496123
General Assembly Resolution #500 "International Criminal Protocol" (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The General Assembly,

Applauding GA #500 "International Criminal Protocol" for its intended goal, which was ostensibly to preserve the civil liberties of those imprisoned from the horrors of state-sanctioned legal abuses,

Reassuring member states that a replacement resolution has been drafted to carry on the vital protections GA #500 offered concerning prison conditions,

Dismayed, however, that the resolution permits member states to decide the legality of capital punishment; a state-sanctioned penalty that this Assembly regards as inherently abhorrent and as posing a devastating detriment to civil liberties,

Cognizant that many ambassadors were unaware of the resolution’s toleration of the death penalty at the time of its passage, perhaps because of its focus on the rights of prisoners,

Referring to the fact that this body has previously repealed otherwise well-meaning resolutions on such grounds (see also GA#438 Repeal: “Crime And Punishment”),

In particular, it must be noted that:
  • The death penalty is always inconsistent with the inherent dignity of the person,
  • The costs of the administrative effort necessary to fully prove the guilt of the convicted almost always outweighs any of its possible financial benefits,
  • The presumption that the death penalty lowers violent crime rates is based on the empirically false assumption that the circumstances of violent crime can be considered in a vacuum where criminals act rationally,
  • The death penalty rarely aids the family of homicide victims, as it merely adds the emotional baggage of yet another life lost, and
  • The use of such a severe, irreversible penalty can further exacerbate disparities in justice systems, especially those with existing widespread discrimination,
Further noting that since the justifications presented for the use of the death penalty are insufficient to allow member states to legalize it, this esteemed Assembly ought to prohibit it - which cannot occur in the presence of the target resolution,

Appalled that this resolution stands in the way of preventing the execution of innocent persons for crimes they did not commit, an atrocity that will continue to occur so as long as this resolution remains in force,

Resolved that the numerous benefits and protections this resolution brings forth does not outweigh the crippling blow it inflicts upon civil liberties, a disservice to the good intentions that fostered it,

Hereby repeals GA #500 "International Criminal Protocol".

General Assembly Resolution #500 "International Criminal Accord" (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The General Assembly;

Applauding GA #500 "International Criminal Accord" for its goal, which was to preserve the civil liberties of those imprisoned from the horrors of state-sanctioned legal abuses;

Dismayed, however, that the resolution permits member states to decide the legality of capital punishment; a state-sanctioned penalty that this Assembly regards as inherently abhorrent and as posing a devastating detriment to civil liberties;

Appalled by the resolution's acceptance of a mother being separated from her child upon birth to be executed, as permitted by the following provision: "That, in the case of a pregnant individual being sentenced to capital punishment, that execution be stayed until such time as the prisoner is no longer pregnant,";

Observing that the resolution poses a barrier to the potential abolition of capital punishment by a future resolution;

Horrified that this resolution stands in the way of preventing the execution of innocent persons for crimes they did not commit; an atrocity that will continue to occur so as long as this resolution remains in force;

Resolved that the numerous benefits and protections this resolution brings forth does not outweigh the crippling blow it inflicts upon civil liberties; a disservice to the good intentions that fostered it;

Appalled by the resolution's acceptance of a mother being separated from her child upon birth to be executed, as permitted by the following clause: "That, in the case of a pregnant individual being sentenced to capital punishment, that execution be stayed until such time as the prisoner is no longer pregnant,";

Sickened by the potential of compelled or forced abortions occurring as a result of the aforementioned clause; either due to a mother not wishing to inflict the emotional and psychological trauma on their child that would inevitably occur upon the child learning of the circumstances of their birth and their mother's execution, or due to a state forcing a mother to undergo an abortion in order to permit her execution;

The General Assembly,

Applauding GA #500 "International Criminal Protocol" for its intended goal, which was ostensibly to preserve the civil liberties of those imprisoned from the horrors of state-sanctioned legal abuses,

Believing, however, that the well-meaning provisions of this resolution are unnecessary due to the existence of GA #9 "Prevention of Torture"; which prohibits the holding of a prisoner under inhumane conditions, the holding of a prisoner under punitive confinement, the denial of sustenance and/or medical care, and the holding of a prisoner in severely confined positions,

Dismayed, however, that the resolution permits member states to decide the legality of capital punishment; a state-sanctioned penalty that this Assembly regards as inherently abhorrent and as posing a devastating detriment to civil liberties,

OOC: I support in principle although Tinhampton, with whom I was working on a new version of the draft, and perhaps someone else too I think also already have drafts for such a repeal. But multiple drafts is fine.

1. Preventing the Execution of Innocents already enforces strong regulations on capital punishment, so basically only the genocidal dictators and the other worst of the worst get executed. I would like it to remain this way.

2. I don't get the 'appalled' clause. Are you saying it would be better for the mother to be separated from the child behind bars, in solitary confinement or something?

Regarding the 'appalled' clause: I believe that it is indeed depraved that a mother should carry her baby to term only to be executed once the baby has been born. I do believe that it would be better for the mother to live, as this negates the potential of an innocent's execution, no matter how minute the odds may be. It is for this reason, and those that have been listed in the repeal itself that I believe capital punishment as a practice to be inherently cruel and unjust.

OOC: The target resolution is called "International Criminal Protocol" (not "Accord").

Edit: will there be a replacement resolution prepared with some of the non-death-penalty-related provisions of the target in place (e.g. the portions addressing solitary confinement)?

That is my intent, to get a replacement draft lined up. Also, good catch :P

EDIT: I'm actually writing a replacement draft right now.

EDIT 2: I've decided to renege on the replacement, as per the new 'Believing' clause.

Added the following clause:
Believing, however, that the well-meaning provisions of this resolution are unnecessary due to the existence of GA #9 "Prevention of Torture"; which prohibits the holding of a prisoner under inhumane conditions, the holding of a prisoner under punitive confinement, the denial of sustenance and/or medical care, and the holding of a prisoner in severely confined positions,

This essentially adds juicy substance to the repeal besides the opposition to capital punishment.

"Most of this repeal pertains solely to capital punishment, which has been defacto banned by the WA anyway. I see no reason to repeal this."

Are they though? If there was nothing new being added to international law GA#500 would had been ruled illegal for duplication.

OOC:
Like certain prior repeal attempts, literally all this does, is construct a strawman unrelated to the target, (combined with some utterly unfounded claims, otherwise) and proceed to knock it down. It's an unimpressive effort to repeal critical civil rights legislation so as to try and shove through deeply unpopular policy.

Certain you'll get no support from me.

OOC: I encourage you to read my replacement draft attempt in regards to the civil rights protections that ICP offers. As for the death penalty: I believe that banning it directly is a matter of critical importance; considering that PEoI is also having a repeal drafted for it.

EDIT: So I've moved that above draft back to draftspace. So now a replacement is lined up to preserve the civil rights that ICP sought to protect.
