The Charter of Human Rights

Article I: Rights of Nations

1) The right to self determination

2) The right to own, trade, and dispose of their property freely, and not be deprived of their means of subsistence

Article II: Rights of individuals

3) The right to legal recourse when their rights have been violated, even if the violator was acting in an official capacity

4) The right to life

5) The right to liberty and freedom of movement

6) The right to equality before the law

7) The right to presumption of innocence til proven guilty

8) The right to appeal a conviction

9) The right to be recognized as a person before the law

10) The right to privacy and protection of that privacy by law

11) Freedom of thought, conscience, and religion

12) Freedom of opinion and expression

13) Freedom of assembly and association

Article III: Violation of a Right

Anyone found by a court of Albion to be in violation by an impartial and competent Justice shall be at the discretion of the Presiding Judge and Court. However, a minimum of an apology (with sincerity) shall be of no less punishment.

Article IV: Passage

Upon passage of this bill, we do hereby recognise this as the highest document in Albion for individual rights. Let us unite for one purpose, for Freedom and our Right.



I propose this above document for consideration.

Please discuss.

Can you please explain article III?

I would say this is one of the highest document for individual rights, because we still have to pass other documents that are just as important

Any violation by a Global Moderator, Moderator or admin to conceal any Liberty etc (Such as Freedom of opinion).

I believe the passage of this bill is of a high nature yes, but it is one of the highest documents above all laws for Liberty there shall ever be. (Unless expanding it)

I am not saying that this bill isn't important, I mean that the way it is written right now makes it sound as though it supersedes all laws. I would rephrase it to say:

Upon passage of this bill, we do hereby recognise this as the highest document in Albion for individual rights. Let us unite for one purpose, for Freedom and our Right.

Besides that I see no problems, anyone else wish to comment before we vote?

I do have something to bring up, but this will be part of future legislation; who would hear the appeal? It couldn't be the LCJ as they heard the initial trial...

Hopefully in due time we will have an associate judge as well, whoever did not preside over the initial case will hear the appeal

I believe we should have only a Trial Judge and an Appeals Judge to weigh on each case. In the event of more than two cases per Judge arises then the Appeals Judge can hear those and the Trial Judge can act as the Appeals Judge. Simple and it will not need three to do two jobs.

May I make a suggestion? Lord Chief Justice and then Lord Justice of Appeal?
