|---|---|---|---|
| ASTER | 0 | Yes | ASTER votes yes because justice should protect society without abandoning humanity. Raising the age of criminal responsibility, ending the death penalty and all corporal punishment, and prioritizing rehabilitation give young people a chance to change rather than be defined by their worst moment. A safer society is not built only through punishment, but through education, responsibility, dignity and the possibility of a better life. ASTER believes justice should close the door to violence, not open another one. #ASTER 🌠 |
