I don't understand the point of this amendment though -- why would the Delegate ever want to use this process instead of the simpler process in Section 6, and why would we ever want the Delegate to use this process when the simpler and less drama-filled process could be used? I don't understand why there is interest in a criminal code or criminal court at all.
It is my opinion that the CLS ought to be confined as much as possible to matters regarding the mechanical security of the region. It's significance ought to be its ability to respond legally and rapidly to threats to the twelfth mandate.
On the other hand, there are less critical offences that it would be nice to see handled in a more democratic institution should the delegate decide on a case by case basis that that is an appropriate route to take.
