WA Voting: Repeal "Right to a Fair Trial"

[starman deluxe]

Description: WA Resolution #3: The Right to a Fair Trial (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Understanding that the intended purpose of "The Right to a Fair Trial" is to provide fair trials,

Noting that the resolution fails to understand that the WA is composed of wildly divergent cultures in its description of a "Fair Trial",

Also noting that the resolution fails to take into account that certain nations have long-established non-jury judicial systems of unquestioned integrity,

Regretting that the resolution allows defendants to choose any person to represent them, despite the legal ramifications of possible conflicts of interest,

Further regretting that the resolution allows defendants any number of appeals they wish,

Noting that this flawed legislation bars a more effective resolution from passage,

Seeking the opportunity to introduce a more effective version of this resolution to the World Assembly,

The World Assembly hereby repeals "The Right to a Fair Trial".

VOTING ENDS: WEDNESDAY JUNE 11TH AT 11 PM EST!!!!

VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Durandal]

I've noticed that these resolutions are repealed because of obvious defects, and then NEVER REPROPOSED! It seems like the repealers are trying to fix the resolutions but they only get rid of it, not fix it. This is the only thing that gives people fair trial. Sure, I'd love to use torture, but not on a petty theft or domestic abuse suspect.

I vote AGAINST.

[Kritschboilek]

5 (= not 4)

[Canton Rouge]

Against, for obvious reasons

[Porcu]

For the repeal

[South Malaysia]
