| Repeal "Fair trial" A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution Category: Repeal Resolution: #21 Proposed by: Jey Description: http://www.nationstates.net/-1/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=20: Fair trial (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void. Argument: The General Assembly of the United Nations, APPLAUDING the attempts of Resolution #21: "Fair trial" to bring about fair rights of the accused within the various judicial systems of member nations; HOWEVER CONSIDERING Resolution #21's complete lack of any details concerning the concept of a fair trial, including relevant definitions and ingredients that traditionally constitute a fair trial, usually including: juror and/or judge impartiality, competency and neutrality, right to fair representation, right against intimidation, and right to counsel; REGRETTING that without these understood characteristics of a fair trial in the text of the resolution, the term becomes ambiguous, defeating the overall purpose Resolution #21; REPEALS Resolution #21: "Fair trial".

| Well, as long as a more thorough resolution replaces this quickly, I'm all for repealing this crap one-liner of a resolution. OH YES! |
