Esteemed UN members and delegates!
Recently I put a proposal before the UN concerning Extradition in the international community. The proposal needs 110 votes by Friday in order to become a resolution. This proposal was submitted as follows:
Right of Extradition
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.
Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Mauribritania
Description: Recognizes that people may flee to another nation in an effort to escape justice.
Acknowledges the right of a nation to try a person that has committed a crime in their nation.
Notes that justice must be served regardless of whether a person has crossed a boundary line or not.
Also acknowledges that that person is under the protection is under the protection of international law regardless of what nation they are tried in.
Hereby
Defines extradition as: the surrender of an alleged fugitive from justice or criminal by one nation, or authority to another.
Requires nations to return a fugitive from justice to the nation that the crime was committed in.
Permits nations to delay returning the fugitive if the fugitive is serving prison time in that nation.
Dictates that if the fugitive is indeed serving a jail term, the fugitive must be extradited the minute he or she steps out of the jail.
Allows for negotiation in the case of the fugitive serving a life term in one nation and being sentenced to death in another.
Requires that the nation in which the crime was committed be allowed the option of punishing the person as their laws dictate - if the fugitive has undergone a trial and been found guilty.
Mandates that all fugitives must be allowed a trial.
It is my hope that you will assist me in gaining the necessary votes for this proposal. If you do find yourself so inclined to support it, it can be located in the UN list of proposals as "Right of Extradition". I thank you for your time and hope that you will support my proposal.
Yours,
