I hate creating more work for the court. Unfortunately, there is nothing in law providing for an armistice or mentioning it, and it is being advocated as a measure where the government may sign off on a measure to stop military engagements with the NPO.
This could require:
- A vote to repeal the declaration of war by two thirds vote.
- A vote only to approve an armistice by two thirds vote.
- Recognition that the government has the power constitutionally to suspend carrying out aspects of a war resolution, rather than just informally not taking actions against the NPO.
So for the future we will need clarification on the powers granted to a government versus the power of the assembly to charge a government to implement a war resolution.
Would an armistice be reconcilable with existing laws/resolutions passed by the assembly such as a war resolution?
