Bill: Bill NP-65: Diplomatic decency act
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Progress Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 4204
Description[?]:
| (This bill was proposed by Bruck Hardcastle) It would be a very stupid decision to prosecute a foreign diplomat. Not only are we risking a diplomatic incident but we could also ruin a potential economic opportunity. Of course, we should keep some decency and expel the diplomats that commit serious crimes. But, I think that we should stop the prosecution of foreign diplomat for criminal acts. |

| Message | ''Mr. Speaker That would be extremely unlikely to happen, mostly because my wife is dead for more than ten years now. But I understand what the Prime Minister mean. He think that it is unfair for the victims to give immunity to diplomats. But, keep in mind that if a diplomat commit a serious crime, wich is very unlikely to happen, he will be expel and judge in his own country. And his country will probably judge im way more severly than us because he will not only be charge with his crime but also with treason. At the end, justice will be done. This bill is just there to ensure that justice will be done without causing a diplomatic incident.'' -Joseph Murphy Leader of the National Progress Party and former President |
