(5) If the Council on Regional Security determines that an individual declared a security risk does not pose a long-term threat to regional security, the Council will rescind its declaration that the individual is a security risk, and all precautions to which the individual had been subjected will be rescinded.

(6) If the Council on Regional Security determines that an individual declared a security risk poses a long-term threat to regional security, the Council will declare the individual a security threat.

(8) (9) After being declared a security threat by the Council on Regional Security, should the individual persist in posing a threat to regional security through further threatening behavior, the Council may impose bans against the individual game-side, via the regional forum, and via any other off-site property maintained for official use by the Coalition of the South Pacific. The Council may rescind such bans.

(9) (10) The Council on Regional Security may rescind a security threat declaration, at which time all precautions to which the individual had been subjected will be rescinded.

(1) CRS must give a full report with evidence to the Assembly and Cabinet before declaring a security threat and after completing an investigation

(2) CRS must update the Assembly and Cabinet when new information regarding the individual is found.

Since its not written in either charter or SPA
