After much thought, reading of rules, reading of past resolutions, reading of more rules, consulting with other nations, and reading of more rules, I have written my first potential UN proposal. I am almost positive that it is not illegal in any way, but I would be grateful for the Mods to verify this. I would also like input into my proposed choice of category - Human Rights. If I get the greenlight from the Mods, I'll solicit feedback on the UN forum before I formally submit the proposal. So, without further ado,

RIGHT TO REFUSE EXTRADITION
ACKNOWLEDGING that capital punishment (the death penalty, execution) is a contentious issue, with many different viewpoints

ACKNOWELDGING ALSO that situations involving international fugitives may be very diplomatically delicate

ENCOURAGING nations to resolve matters of international fugitives through discussion and diplomacy

AFFIRMING that each nation has the sovereign right to allow or ban capital punishment within its own borders

AFFIRMING ALSO that a nation should not be forced to be a party to execution against its will

BE IT RESOLVED that UN member nations shall have the AFFIRMED RIGHT to refuse extradition (deportation) of international fugitives to any nation IF the extraditing nation may reasonably believe that the fugitive may face capital punishment if extradited

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that UN member nations may exercise this right without fear of military reprisal from the fugitive's home nation or from any other UN member nation

Fini. Mod feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well, given that you telegrammed me for advice, and I advised you to post in the UN forum first, I guess I'll just reiterate that advice.

Let the UN forumites give their feedback, and THEN ask us based on their feedback. That's the single best use you can make of the UN forum.

Understood, I'll do that. Could you please close out this thread? Many thanks.
