Security Powers Ac Wrote:Security Powers Act
An Act to define security powers to address threats to the Coalition of the South Pacific
1. Security Measures

(1) When there is compelling information presented to the Council on Regional Security that an individual poses a risk to regional security, the Council may declare the individual a security risk.

(2) Upon declaring an individual a security risk, the Council on Regional Security may subject that individual to increased security precautions, including:
a. Suspension of voting in the Assembly, if the individual is already a legislator, and in elections;
b. Prohibition against admission to legislator status, if the individual is not already a legislator;
c. Prohibition against standing for election or being appointed to any office;
d. Suspension of the exercise of any office the individual already holds, and all accompanying powers and privileges;
e. Prohibition or suspension of participation in government ministries;
f. Prohibition or suspension of service as a game-side Regional Officer;
g. Suspension of specific game-side Regional Officer powers;
h. Prohibition against maintaining a World Assembly nation in the South Pacific;
i. Restrictions on the number of endorsements the individual's World Assembly nation in the South Pacific may maintain.

(3) The Council on Regional Security will conduct an investigation to determine whether an individual declared a security risk poses a long-term threat to regional security.

(4) During the course of the investigation, the individual declared a security risk will have the opportunity to offer testimony and evidence to the Council on Regional Security in their own defense.

(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that the individual is a security risk, and all precautions to which the individual had been subjected will be rescinded.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.

(7) Upon declaring an individual a security threat, the Council on Regional Security may subject that individual to increased security precautions, including:
a. Removal from any office the individual already holds;
b. Prohibition against standing for election or being appointed to any office;
c. Removal of legislator status, if the individual is already a legislator;
d. Prohibition of legislator status;
e. Prohibition against participation in government ministries;
f. Prohibition against service as a game-side Regional Officer;
g. Prohibition against maintaining a World Assembly nation in the South Pacific.

(8) Upon declaring an individual a security threat, the Council on Regional Security will provide a full report to the Assembly detailing the investigation that led to the security threat declaration, including the release of all related evidence and testimony, as well as the Council's voting record for the security threat declaration.

(9) If the basis of a security threat declaration amounts or equates to criminal accusation, the Council on Regional Security must immediately press criminal charges. The security threat declaration will be rescinded should these charges not result in conviction.

(10) 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.

(11) 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.

(12) The Council on Regional Security will update the Assembly upon discovery of any new information related to the security status of any individual declared a security threat.

2. Oversight and Restrictions

(1) Should investigation of an individual declared a security risk exceed two weeks, the Assembly may, by a simple majority of those voting, rescind the security risk declaration, and all precautions to which the individual had been subjected will be rescinded.

(2) The Assembly may, by general resolution, compel the Council on Regional Security to release any information related to a security risk or security threat declaration, and may in the same resolution establish procedure for appointment of an auditor to ensure compliance. Failure by members of the Council to comply with such a resolution will constitute dereliction of duty.

(3) The Cabinet may propose rescinding a security threat declaration. The Cabinet must notify the Assembly of its proposal to rescind a security threat declaration and must explain why the individual declared a security threat does not pose a long-term threat to regional security.

(4) Upon notification from the Cabinet, the Assembly will debate rescinding of the security threat declaration for three days, after which a vote will be conducted. The Assembly may, by a three-fifths supermajority of those voting, override the Cabinet's proposal and sustain a security threat declaration.

(5) If the Assembly vote is not in favor of overriding the Cabinet's proposal to rescind a security threat declaration, the security threat declaration will be rescinded, and all precautions to which the individual had been subjected, including bans for further threatening behavior, will be rescinded.

(6) An individual declared a security risk or a security threat may appeal such a declaration to the High Court, which will determine whether reasonable cause existed for the declaration. Should the High Court determine that reasonable cause did not exist, the declaration will be rescinded.

(7) An individual may not be declared a security risk or security threat more than once for the exact same incident(s) of threatening behavior.

3. Constitutional Law

(1) The Security Powers Act is a constitutional law, and further amendments to it must meet constitutional amendment requirements.

Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.
