Vote For GA resolution Omnibus Due Process Act


General Assembly Vote Recommendation

Part of the Information for WA Voters program

Resolution at Vote: Omnibus Due Process Act
Vote Recommendation: For

Resolution Analysis
Overview
This Resolution seeks to establish four fundamental protections that are to be guaranteed for those accused of criminal acts in member states. These protections bar member states from using the invocation of any right or privilege by a defendant as evidence of guilt, prohibit coercion of a defendant or their defense counsel to pervert the course of justice, require that the defendant and their counsel be provided with all evidence gathered in the course of an investigation by the prosecution subject to minimal conditions, and prohibit the transportation of an individual in the custody of any member state to any jurisdiction which may proceed with judicial sanctions against that individual that would violate World Assembly law.

Recommendation
It is rather surprising that such basic foundational protections that enshrine the legitimacy of the judicial process were not already enforced by the World Assembly. Such basic principles are what separate fair, justice-seeking judicial systems from kangaroo courts intent on finding the guilt of an accused party irrespective of the facts of the case against them. Looking beyond the fact that the four principles guaranteed by this Resolution provide legitimacy to the very institution that judicial systems represent, it is apparent that the fourth principle concerning renditions also clears up any ambiguity that may have existed in regards to the relationship between member and non-member states pertaining to judicial matters. For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Omnibus Due Process Act".
