Repeal: “Equal Justice Under Law”

General Assembly Resolution #572 “Equal Justice Under Law” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Assembly of Worlds,
Believing in the value of holding public officials accountable for their actions, including ending unnecessary immunity from prosecution of crimes,
Arguing that nevertheless, GA#572 “Equal Justice Under Law” not only does not do that, but also even endorses such “qualified immunity” of public officials,
Stating the facts as such:

  • GA#572 “Establishes that all private and public individuals, officials, entities, and institutions… be held accountable… under any guidelines and/or disciplinary measures that may be in use by a particular organization.”

  • GA#572 makes no rules regarding these disciplinary measures.

  • Institutions in member nations may therefore set their own guidelines and disciplinary measures, including such things as paid administrative leave, and consider this to be sufficient accountability.

Encouraging the members of this Assembly to think carefully about the legislation they choose to enact in the future and whether it is really an improvement over the resolutions we frequently repeal,
Destroys “Equal Justice Under Law”
