| Date | 03:22:49, August 01, 2007 CET | From | Independent Selucian Empire Party | To | Debating the Improving Security and Justice |
| Message | The ISEP cannot agree for the following reasons: Article 1: The Justice ministry would be swamped. The courts are there to be used and should be until all avenues have been exhausted. Article 2: We are opposed to the death penalty in principle except for crimes against the State. Article 3: Extraditing to countries with a history of torture is not the path of enlightened Empire. Article 4: Maybe, but the manpower and cost would be prohibitive. |
