[GA—IN QUEUE] Repeal: "Bail Conditions Arrangements"

Repeal: "Bail Conditions Arrangements"
Category: Repeal | Target: GA#688
Proposed by: Jedinsto | Onsite Topic​

The World Assembly,

Appreciating the noble intent of resolution number 688, “Bail Conditions Arrangements,” to expand due process and freedom for people prior to conviction,

Worried, however, by the self-contradictory nature of the resolution,

Citing the preamble which declares an intent to target the practice of cash bail as unfair towards the less wealthy, however in practice clause 3 requires that cash bail be the primary option for bail,

Acknowledging the writing of this clause was a mistake, and was intended to set cash bail to be used only if alternatives were impractical,

Believing this mistake to be detrimental to the resolution and rendering it nonsensical in its entirety, given that other clauses attempt to limit the use of cash bail, thus effectively eliminating the ability of many defendants to be granted bail, and

Wishing to handle the topic of bail more eloquently moving forward and with respect to the sovereignty of its member nations,

Hereby repeals resolution #688, “Bail Conditions Arrangements.”
