Quote: The General Assembly,
Reaffirming its commitment to fair and equitable treatment of all individuals,
Believing that no institution, including the governments of member nations, should be permitted to act in contravention of its own established laws, and that such institutions, including the governments of member nations, should be expected to behave in a manner both transparent and unprejudiced,
Asserting, with the aforementioned in consideration, that the "rule of law" is a fundamental component of fair and just governance, and a necessary element in preventing arbitrary or discriminatory punishment,
And to this end resolves;
1. Declares that all persons, entities, both public and private, and institutions, including the state, political subdivisions thereof, and its officials, shall be held equally accountable under the established statutory laws, judicial precedents, or any other principles or guidelines with the equivalent force of law of a relevant member nation, excepting instances where compelling and practical purposes necessitate good faith exceptions, such as diplomatic immunity.[/quote]
The forums haven't been particularly useful in providing any meaningful discussion on this topic, so if you guys have anything to say, I'd love to hear it.
