Bill: The Military Ethics Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Rutanian Environmentalist Workers Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 3926
Description[?]:
| We believe that it is imperative to revamp the way in which we conduct ourselves militarily. Although it is vital to maintain an army for the protection of the people of Rutania, it is equally important to show the outside world that we are not a war mongering nation and that we are committed to peace. We, in the Rutanian Environmentalist Workers Party, believe that this bill will make our armies more accountable, more ethical and show that we are more committed to peace in the region. |
