[Mikitivity]

Mikitivity has voted in favour. While we realize that this resolution puts a large degree of freedom into domestic hands, which in some cases could be used to block future UN legislation on harsh sentences, we also appreciate that the nations most likely to resort to these sorts of punishments can just as easily leave the UN or skirt around well meaning bans. Furthermore the ban on barbaric punishments already gives other UN members the right to pressure any nation that might resort to cruel sentences recourse for addressing the situtation.

What I like most is how this resolution actually might work with several other existing resolutions.
