This is a proposal that I plan to submit to the UN soon. So tell me what you think. Would you vote for it? Are parts of it unclear? What should I do to improve upon it?

Prevent Escape of Fugitives Across Borders (PEFAB) (political stability)
In my nation's short tenure, we have suffered more crime simply because criminals know they don't have to go far to escape justice across the border. Understandably, as an upcoming nation we cannot afford to bog down trade with excessive and intrusive security checks at our borders. Not only does this hurt trade, but it creates the impression that my nation is something of a Police State, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Unfortunately, this is one of the few remaining options open to us. Therefore:

IN ORDER TO: Reduce crime both at home and abroad.
THIS RESOLUTION HEARBY DECLARES THAT:
Article I: Any member of the UN must deport any suspect of crimes against another country to that country for due legal processing.
Article II: Article I must be carried out posthaste, regardless of the laws and regulations of the country having custody of the suspect, and without subjection to that country’s judicial system.
Article III: In cases where suspects are wanted for crimes in multiple countries, custody will of course be given to the country with the most grievous charges against the suspect.
THIS WILL SERVE TO:
I. Deter crimes on the part of individuals intent on fleeing to more lenient territories.
II. Help crack down on international crime, such as arms dealing or narcotic smuggling.
III. Provide justice for the victims of crimes committed by persons that flee the country.

Thank you for due consideration of this proposal.
