Bill: International Respectability Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Progressive Union
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: April 4700
Description[?]:
| Whereas, all but ten nations in Terra provide some sort of protections for diplomats residing in their host countries, and Whereas, the Commonwealth of Hutori is currently one of these nations, and Whereas, this policy undermines our standing on the international stage, and Whereas, the criminal prosecution and imprisonment of foreign diplomats would likely cause an international incident, and Whereas, we must balance our international standing with the laws and customs of our own land, therefore Be it resolved that diplomats from foreign nations may be exempt from prosecution for criminal acts, and Be it further resolved that diplomats may be censured and expelled by the Foreign Office for criminal acts or attempted criminal acts, and Be it further resolved that diplomats may still be liable for prosecution from civil suits. |
