No to "fair trial" proposition

Almost Paradise

This is a well meaning but slanted UN Proposition. In our country - we provide very fair, speedy trials. However we lean towards the protection of the whole over the misconcieved "rights" of the individual. We are not the only country that opts to place the burden of proof of the defendant.
As a society, we understand the sacrifices we all make collectively to insure the safety of those who are most at risk.
We do not harbor criminals in our glorious nation - because we make it inhospitable for the criminal. We respect other nations rights to rule themselves as they wish - but would choose to not be told how to dole out justice and compassion within our own borders.

Please vote against this proposition.
