An anti-lynching law would serve multiple crucial purposes. Firstly, it would provide a clear legal definition of lynching, helping law enforcement agencies to accurately identify and prosecute perpetrators. Secondly, an anti-lynching law would act as a strong deterrent against potential offenders. Lastly, passing anti-lynching legislation would demonstrate a commitment of the National Assembly to address historical injustices and take proactive steps to rectify them. By championing this cause, the National Assembly will be standing up for justice, equality and the dignity of every individual.
