The Dominion of Necros-Vacuia would be for this idea if we had any disabled people....

However, the "special trains" requisitioned for them by the Commissariat of National Security tend to vanish in Nova Prospekt. It is a mysterious phenomenon, indeed.

I think this contravenes The Universal Bill of Human Rights, which states:

Article 5 -- All human beings must not be subjected to torture or to cruel or inhuman treatment or punishment.

I think it might also be banned by "END BARBARIC PUNISHMENTS":

END BARBARIC PUNISHMENTS



A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Checkoslovakia

Description: It has come to the attention of many nations that there is no torture in the UN. My proposal is a simple one:

To outlaw and prevent torturing of witnesses to receive information.

Every nation has the right to interrogate witnesses. However, they do not have the right to break bones, blind and bruise people while in questioning. (The same goes for punishments for a crime. The punishments have to fit the crime and not include torture or cruel and unusual punishment.) Any information proved to be found by methods of torture will not be heard in a court of law and the nations will be punished with a substantial fine.

I hope that everyone realizes how barbaric torture and cruel and unusual punishment really is and will support the views of the many concerned nations.

I take extreme offense at the suggestion that any Necros-Vacuian would engage in such a barbaric act as torture, especially the fine men and women of the Commissariat of National Security.

Those disabled who disappear in Nova Prospekt are not tortured; nor are they executed, as we reserve the death penalty for crimes against the State.

However, they do not reenter public life. Why, I am not sure; that is the business of Executor Havarran Dzerrin.

I was actually saying that Wigland's idea would be illegal. I wasn't commenting on your nation's practices.
