Recognizing a robust international judicial apparatus as necessary to the carriage of international law,
Incensed that, twice now, the subject matter of comity has been exploited to ride in the institution of a World Assembly law enforcement agency authorized to use any degree of force necessary to carry out its functions, the International Enforcement Commission, and to pave a road for future resolutions to expand its police scope in such a manner as to severely erode member state sovereignty,
Particularly concerned that GAR #698 therefore reserves to the World Assembly authority to conduct by the terms of future legislation military invasions and occupations via the International Enforcement Commission, and alarmed at the probable scope of destruction and death such operations might inflict on innocent inhabitants of member states,
Horrified that this same reservation blocks any future World Assembly legislation to prevent the International Enforcement Commission from committing systemic restriction of occupied populations' freedoms, including from several forms of coerced labor, and committing unredressed devastation of civilian infrastructure, some of the many injustices GAR #519 "Provisional Rule in Wartime" seeks to regulate,
Further observing that the scope of the comity directives in GAR #698 includes only acts illegal under World Assembly law, and therefore illegal in every member state's jurisdiction,
Therefore regarding comity in national or subnational criminal proceedings against parties accused of such acts as likely
- superfluous, since all member states will regard the act as illegal, and even where a member may fail to enforce the law the World Assembly Judiciary Committee is fully equipped to deliver justice in member nations' stead,
- obstructive of justice, since these proceedings must now account for incongruent foreign legal customs and precedents either by incorporating them into their own goings on, or by surrendering the accused to another jurisdiction even if that jurisdiction is unlikely to complete judicial proceedings with the same degree of justice as would the other, and
- elusive, since the extension of comity is a spectrum of allowances and courtesies, rendering the boundary of good-faith compliance blurry beyond acceptability,
Alarmed that the standards for extending comity are so lax and prejudicial as to include whether "there is probable cause that the individual is guilty", a determination which may effectively act as a preliminary ruling for or against the accused before trial even begins,
The World Assembly hereby repeals GAR #698 "Convention Against Heinous Crimes".
