Bill: Moratorium on Capital Punishment
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Judicial Alliance
Status[?]: passed
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: December 2198
Description[?]:
| In a system based on procedural justice it is inherently inhuman to allow sentencing of capital punishment to be executed. While it is vital that the republic upholds its monopoly on legal violence, even when brought to its ultimate conclusion, it should not endeavour to claim that decisions in its legal system be subject to infallability. Depriving someone of the very possibility of restiution is not a decision that any single officer nor any agency of government should have possibility nor opportunity to make. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
