1. After serving at least one year of a ban from the region and/or the regional forum, convicts may apply for parole to a special parole board.
2. Said special parole board shall consist of the Chair of the CSS, Chief Justice of the High Court and the Chair of the Assembly.
3. The special parole board may decide to recommend parole to convicts, provided a majority of its members support this motion; this decision should consider the nature of the past crimes committed, the security of the region and the genuine willingness of the convict to reform their behavior.
4. If parole is recommended, the matter will be referred to the Assembly for review. A majority vote will confirm the nominee for parole.
5. If parole is granted, the regional and/or forum ban shall be revoked and the individual shall be allowed to reside in The South Pacific.
6. After six months of residency, the individual may apply for citizenship, albeit with a prohibition on holding office.
7. While on parole, the special parole board can decide at any time, by majority vote, to revoke an individual’s parole; this decision should consider the security of the region and the contributions of the individual to the region.
8. After six months of citizenship, the individual may apply to the special parole board for the prohibition on holding office to be lifted. The special parole board can grant this motion, provided a majority of the board supports – and in doing so, the individual will no longer be held under any conditions of parole.
