just a note bossdog, I am going to make this new forum not showup in the recent topics list.

That's fine, the majority of members (ie: Tricks) won't get it. I've lodged a message on NS saying to come here to discuss the goodies. Who knows, maybe we might get some extra cka members too.

Fair Sentencing Act
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: The Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Gruenberg

Description: The United Nations,

Reaffirming its intent to ensure for all those accused of criminal acts fair legal proceedings,

Believing that all those tried for criminal acts deserve the right to sentencing by a competent judicial body, whether judge, jury or other, able to consider the specific conditions of the case,

Realizing that in many cases, there may be extenuating circumstances, whereby individuals with similar offences may require different sentences, and therefore full consideration of all relevant factors is needed,

Recognising that different societies treat crime and punishment in different ways, and adopt different attitudes to which sentences may be appropriate:

1. Requests that member nations ensure their legal processes are fair and just;

2. Declares the right of nations to determine for themselves the sentences for violations of laws committed within their jurisdictions;

3. Calls for the creation of independent and accountable bodies capable of overseeing and reviewing sentencing decisions;

4. Recommends that nations devolve sentencing powers to the level most capable of taking into account all relevant considerations.

Votes For: 1,780

Votes Against: 845

Your Regional UN Delegate, Bossdognia, has not voted on this resolution.

i think this resolution is unneccesary, and pretty impotent. nations can take care of their own judicial systems. why waste money on this?

i vote no.

suggestion:

you should head the thread with the resolution being voted on and put a poll with yes/no, IMO
