I've removed what used to be Section 3, because I think it belongs in a different law to regulate the military, not in a constitutional law. Constitutional laws should only establish basic frameworks, not meticulous details.
For reference though, this is what used to be Section 3, and could be used in further military-related legislation:

Quote:Section 3. Regulation of Destructive Tactics[/spoiler]
(1) The Regional Guard may participate in operations that involve the ejection or ban of natives, the imposition of a regional password, or the forcible refounding of a region only with the explicit approval of the Delegate and only if such operations meet the following criteria:
a. The operation is against a region upon which Lazarus has declared war;
b. The operation is against a fascist region;
c. The operation is against a region that poses a substantial threat to the out-of-character security or safety of NationStates players;
d. The operation is a defensive operation requiring such tactics, as authorized by the current legal head of government of the region being defended or, in the absence of such legal head of government, a regional official with legal status sufficient to authorize such tactics.
(2) The Regional Guard may only participate in operations that involve such tactics under circumstances that fail to meet the established criteria with the approval of the Assembly, as requested by the Delegate. Approval of such tactics may be enacted or rescinded by two-thirds vote of the Assembly.
(3) The Regional Guard may not knowingly deploy for any operation led by another region or organization that will involve the use of such tactics in violation of this Charter. Should the Regional Guard become aware such tactics will be used in violation of this Charter during the course of an operation, the Regional Guard will immediately withdraw from the operation.
(4) In the course of a training operation in a game-created Warzone region, the Regional Guard may replace the Warzone region's World Factbook Entry and flag, but will preserve the native World Factbook Entry and flag for future native use by posting such on the Warzone region's Regional Message Board. The Regional Guard will refrain from any other use of regional controls in the Warzone region that would disrupt, suppress, or destroy native-imposed content.
a. A training operation in a game-created Warzone region led by another region or organization will not be bound by these requirements, but the Regional Guard's operational command will privately suggest optional adherence to these requirements to the operational command of the region or organization leading the operation.
(5) In the course of a defensive operation, the Regional Guard will maintain a minimally disruptive presence in the region being defended, and will only post on the Regional Message Board if invited to do so by the current or most recent native Delegate, or authorized to do so by the Regional Guard's operational command should they deem it necessary to communicate with natives.
