Vote Against GA resolution Repeal "Death Penalty Ban"
Resolution Analysis
Overview
"Repeal: Death Penalty Ban" is a resolution that aims to repeal the previously passed GA#535, "Death Penalty Ban". It argues that the issue of Death Penalty should not be legislated by the General Assembly, and that member nations with the practice have their own regulations that ensure the usage of capital punishment is fair and just.
Recommendation
The resolution in question does not provide enough substantial points for a repeal. Instead, the author merely provides a basket list of incoherent arguments as reasons for repealing the resolution. For instance, it is difficult to see how "the World Assembly is overstepping itself into a morally-challenging policy area in a way that engenders significant opposition". The Ministry has also previously outlined its support for the passed GA#535, stating that the resolution would allow the Assembly to uphold basic standards of morality by banning the usage of capital punishment.
For those reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the General Assembly resolution at vote, "Repeal: Death Penalty Ban".
