End Collective Punishment

Connection or relationship to an individual, on the basis that that individual has committed a punishable or unlawful act;
Demands that all past convictions contravening this resolution by member states be fully rescinded; and
Clarifies that this resolution does not ban member states from purposefully punishing, convicting, or otherwise retaliating against persons for:
Membership in a proscribed organisation; or
