Legal Equality Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Category: Civil Rights
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Magecastle Embassy Building A5
Recognising the importance of equality under the law in ensuring justice and stability in society,
Concerned by the lack of legislation or mechanisms to enforce the rule of law since "Equal Justice Under Law" was repealed,
Determined to ensure that the principle of equality under law is maintained in all member nations, in order to deliver equity and justice to their subjects,
The World Assembly enacts as follows, subject to relevant past World Assembly resolutions still in force.
1. All individuals and juridical persons under the jurisdiction of a member nation, as well as that member nation itself, must be held fully accountable under all applicable laws of that member nation.
2. Where allowed under past or future standing World Assembly law and regardless of Section 1, member nations may
a. enact measures such as commutations and pardons, including refraining from prosecuting a case, where said measures demonstrably protect a public interest which (i) outweighs the public's interest in accountability under the law and (ii) clearly necessitates the enactment of such measures;
b. grant immunity to actions which are conducted in the scope of legislative or judicial activity, such as casting ballots, testifying in court, or adjudicating on a trial, yet excluding criminal prosecution; or
c. allow entities tasked with conducting public functions to engage in otherwise-unlawful acts which are demonstrably necessary for said entities to be able to effectively conduct said functions.
3. Administrative and political subdivisions of member nations must comply with this resolution as member nations.
