HCLQ1511
- 15.04.15 -


Petitioner
Kris Kringle - Wolf


Presiding Justices
Hileville, TAC, Farengeto


Non-Presiding Justice
Apad


Question: Must Conflict of Interest Disclosures, as established and described in Article 1, Clause 9 of the Code of Laws, include a list of all past positions held?



Majority Opinion
Hileville, TAC, Farengeto




Article 1, Clause 9 as set out below outlines what a Conflict of Interest Disclosure must include :  


Quote:9. Conflict of Interest Disclosures must include current World Assembly Nation, all past and present aliases used, all past and present involvement in other regions and organizations, and all current positions held across NationStates.


The Court would first like to note the difference in the text:

Quote:all past and present involvement in other regions and organizations
Quote:all current positions held

It is the view of this Court that the usage of the different terms attempts to distinguish what is required.  Those filing a Conflict of Interest Disclosure are required to include all current positions held but are only required to list their past and present involvement in other regions and organizations.

To answer the question directly; the Court believes that the CoI Disclosure does not have to include all past positions held and the filer is only required to list the region or organization in which they were involved in.

#15

Thank you for the clarification, this should make filing future CoI's much easier.
