Infoslide

An adversarial system of justice is one in which the court acts as a neutral referee between the defence and the prosecution in criminal trials, or the plaintiff and the defendant in civil trials. In inquisitorial systems, the court is an active participant in proving the facts of the case and will often take part in the investigation of the facts. Under both systems, rights of appeal to superior courts are available.

This house supports the "Bad Man" approach in policy making
Infoslide

<div><font color="#000138" face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The term "bad man" in legal theory refers to a hypothetical individual who is solely concerned with the practical consequences of legal rules, particularly the potential for punishment, rather than with moral or ethical considerations. This "bad man" is interested in predicting how the law will be applied to their actions, focusing on the material consequences like fines or imprisonment, rather than on whether those actions are morally right or wrong. </font></div><div><br></div>

This House Would pardon violent separatist groups for their crimes in exchange for their peaceful surrender

Violent separatist groups use armed resistance to seek independence or autonomy from a state. Governments may offer pardons in exchange for their surrender to end conflict, restore stability, and reintegrate militants into society. This strategy prioritizes peace over punishment, aiming to prevent further violence and facilitate long-term reconciliation.
