This agencies will be erected by the Minister of Trade. §2 Slavery will be a punishment for prisoners of war, and for the offences of murder, armed robbery, and desertion. This is not an exclusive list of offences that can be punished with slavery, and the Minister of Justice can declare slavery a punishment for other offences too, as long as they are punishable by more than 5 years of prison too. §3 Slavery is also an option for natural persons who have become insolvent. In order to completely settle their debts, they can declare themselves into slavery for 5-10 years (appropriate to the debt's largeness), and shall be the slaves of their debitors relatively to the proportion of their debts to them. §4 Only those slaves that have been punished with slavery for life shall be internationally tradeable. All others have to remain within the country, or in the property of a Kalopian citizen. §5 For the time of slavery, slaves lose their legal capacity. They are, however, still able to be prosecuted for criminal offences and to be hold reliable for compensation. If they owned any money, this money will be only used for such compensations, the slaves have no rights to use it in any other way, except with the consent of their owner. Slaves also still hold the rights whose infingement would be a penal offence, except the rights that are limited by definition by slavery itself, especially the right to freedom. |
