The United Nations,

AWARE of the widely varied judicial systems within member nations;

RECOGNIZING that there are many viable alternatives to the grand jury system;

NOT CONVINCED that this particular judicial system is inherently more fair, or more likely to produce correct verdicts, than other viable systems;

BELIEVING that nations should have the opportunity to select the method of bringing criminal charges which best suits their cultures and legal systems;

CONCERNED by the lack of definition of salient terms such as "Due Process of law", which has led to some confusion amongst the member nations and the rather poor implementation of this resolution;

DISTURBED that this poorly written resolution infringes so deeply into national jurisdiction;

THEREFORE repeals UNR#27 "Due Process"

I would like to resubmit this. I would like to know if there is anything that needs to be added, taken out or reworded.

Looks fine to me. It's concise, clear, and can appeal to whatever common sense the General Assembly has left after using up massive amounts of it in the repeal of "Promotion of Solar Panels".

Right then. It has been submitted. It has until tomorrow and still needs a whole lot of approvals.

Concise, accurate and to the point. And ESAT would really like to get rid of its UN-imposed Grand Jury.

If this reaches quorum, we'll vote in favour.
