Vote For GA resolution Repeal: "Preventing The Execution Of Innocents"
Resolution Analysis
The target resolution, while intending to modernize WA legal systems and ensure innocents are not unjustly killed, possesses various flaws that may lead to its downfall. Namely, the block of limits on discovery and admission of evidence, as well as requiring cases to meet a requirement of no doubt, well beyond that of reasonable doubt. Furthermore, the resolution possesses multiple points that appear to be selected arbitrarily; including the restriction on the amount of people affected by the crimes committed and the order and separation of the discovery periods by the Division and various council associated with the case. Lastly, a criminal could avoid capital punishment by indefinitely delaying appeals and other avenues that prevent the Division from certifying the case.
In hopes of a redraft or new draft addressing capital punishment in the WA, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a close evaluation of the repeal and the target resolution, and a vote For this repeal.
For reference and sake of comparison, the Ministry gave a "No Recommendation" at the original passing of this target resoltuion, such IFV you can find in the following link:
Resolution Analysis
"Preventing The Execution Of Innocents" has significant pros and cons that one must consider when casting a vote, and because of this it's difficult for the ministry to outright support or oppose it. On one hand, the resolution may not outright ban capital punishment but it does add significant extra work to carry out such a punishment. The extra oversight provided by the Compliance Commission will hopefully ensure that only those fairly proven guilty on a higher standard than national levels are punished. On the other hand, it does effectively make the World Assembly the final arbiter of justice in capital cases. There is significant concern over whether the World Assembly should be in the business of signing death warrants.
The Ministry of WA Affairs asks voters to take these points into consideration when casting their vote.
