Quote: Repeal "Due Process"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #27
Proposed by: Karmicaria
Description: UN Resolution #27: Due Process (Category: The Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: The United Nations,
AWARE of the widely varied judicial systems within member nations;
RECOGNIZING that there are many viable alternatives to the grand jury system;
NOT CONVINCED that this particular judicial system is inherently more fair, or more likely to produce correct verdicts, than other viable systems;
BELIEVING that nations should have the opportunity to select the method of bringing criminal charges which best suits their cultures and legal systems;
DISMAYED that if significant new evidence is acquired acquired after the initial trial, no retrial would be possible;
THEREFORE repeals UNR#27 "Due Process"
