Resolution Analysis
Overview
The at-vote proposal "Death Penalty Ban" seeks to ban the execution of prisoners except under military penal code during time of war. All currently-outstanding sentences involving capital punishment will also commuted. The proposal allows further legislation to also ban the death penalty during times of war.
Recommendation
The World Assembly has, throughout its existence, required that its members abide by basic standards of morality. However, it has not yet done so in one area: capital punishment. The use of execution as a means of punishment is inherently inconsistent with human dignity, and is inefficient as well. Furthermore, the risk of executing innocents is inherent to the death penalty, although the likelihood of this is significantly lower when dealing with war crimes (the exception in this resolution).
For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends voting For the at-vote General Assembly proposal, "Death Penalty Ban".
