After reading the discussion from the last TRT, I'm all for moves to advance the assumption that nations are modern human nations. WA RP shouldn't need to cater to pre-industrial societies.
The article said that we ought to treat the WA world as if it were like the real world.

Do you think indigenous communities (Australia, Canada, US, etc.) would be able to meet all of these promulgation requirements? If they haven't been meeting them, should they be required to cancel previous sentences? How about the hundreds of millions of people who live in preindustrial communities in Asia and Africa? To what lengths must a mountain village go to make sure that everybody knows what the case law says?
The promulgation requirements are not nearly as strict as you're making them out to be. Assuming an indigenous tribe with pre-industrial level technology levels is capable of both maintaining active membership in the WA and implementing and enforcing its extant legislation (comprehensive education, access to mental health facilities, etc.), there is no way traditions and reasoning that set the foundation for that tribe's law can't be spread through song, dance, folklore, etc. That is the length to which a mountain village must go to make sure everybody knows the tribes legal traditions. For someone so intent on painting this resolution as western-centric, you yourself haven't even acknowledged that promulgation doesn't need to be achieved through industrial, first world methods.
I'll just repeat what I said above: I'm mostly worried about aboriginal communities in industrial and post-industrial nations, communities that are semi-autonomous and have their own laws.
