Argument: The United Nations,

COMMENDING UN#180 in its attempts to encourage member states to provide oversight to their judicial systems to examine trial and sentencing practices, however;

CONCERNED that the second article gives nations the license to use capital punishment too freely;

CONCERNED that individual states may use capital punishment for ANY offense they so choose including, but not limited to shoplifting, illegal drug possession, trespassing, and adultery;

BELIEVING that an internationally recognized standard practice regarding the use of capital punishment is in every member nation’s best interest in order to keep the peace;

The vote is 0/3. I have cast my vote against the repeal.

Prior to my vote, the repeal had a narrow margin of approval. Now it does not appear it will pass.

One vote DOES mean a lot.
