[DRAFT] Amendment to the Border Control Act
#11

Quote:3. Powers of the Local Council and Delegate

(1) The Delegate, or a majority of the Local Council, may order a border control action against a nation they determine to have committed any of the following actions:
i. Spamming
ii. Trolling
iii. Flaming
iv. Harrassment

(2) The assent of the Council on Regional Security is required if the nation in question is not a low influence nation.

(3) The Delegate or Local Council must inform the Council on Regional Security immediately after having ordered a border control action.

(4) The Local Council may enact policy allowing border control actions within its purview to be performed unilaterally by a border control officer. Any change to such a policy must be clearly and immediately communicated to all border control officers.

First draft. On mobile so I can't properly mark changes.

Any suggestions on additional actions?

EDIT: As an additional thing, the LC approval part I feel hasn't been working. I'm not sure the LC even knows about the BCA sometimes, and if they're not an active user of offsite chats getting even the approval of one LC member is tough.

Seems ok to me. I'd be happy to support this. Glad you have added harassment.

It is entirely dependent on the make up of the LC.

Perhaps, and I appreciate that this is outside the scope of this legislation, the cabinet could appoint an LC Liaison to ensure that LCs are equipped with all the info they need to their job as they deem best. Or, this could be added into the duties of the delegate.

I agree with Seraph that the delegate could inform the LC about relevant laws like the Border Control act

This.

Just because this LC term didn't do it, doesn't mean the next term won't. And honestly, I think the next one will.

I hope Local Councillors will also conduct proper research about the laws affecting their offices.

Well, so do I, but there's nothing actually making them do so and many of the candidates in times past (and a few right now) aren't the sort to take an interest or even be aware that they exist and neither are the people voting for them, so there not much accountability.

I think that Roavin is right, however. There is a greatly increased chance of at least one member of the LC taking these things into consideration in the coming term.

I think the dispatch on Local Council laws is lacking much information, and it only includes laws about the elections, not their actual powers; this is troublesome, considering that the LCs' main task is to be promoting activity game-side and many of them aren't very active here, where most of the laws that govern this entity reside.

Those are the laws the local council has created to rule over the gameside, nothing more. Other laws which affect the LC form part of the body of laws here in the Assembly, like the Charter, which defines what the LC actually is and the Border Control Act, which we're ostensibly discussing right now.

Yes, but considering they affect a governmental body that is mainly based game-side, I feel like at least these being in a dispatch somewhere there would be useful for people who cannot or do not want to be active elsewhere, for the aforementioned reasons.
