			<description><![CDATA[Article II of the Mandate gives the Delegate the right to impose bans and ejections from Lazarus and this is further supported by Article V of the Mandate that gives the court the power to implore the Delegate to ban or eject someone from Lazarus, but fails to give the court that power themselves. If this interpretation of the Mandate is in the opinion of the court as actuate, is the Hostile Persons and Entities Act, which allows the Assembly (and not the Delegate) at the request of the Council of Lazarene Security or the Delegate to designate a region or person hostile, which denies a person or members of an organisation residency, citizenship and etc. in Lazarus, and doesn't require the Delegates approval, unconstitutional?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Section 3, point 2 of the <a href="https://www.nslazarus.com/thread-308.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Criminal Code</a> States:<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>The individual or government body responsible for a restricted area may sanction the distribution of information to another person or entity. Sharing information whose release has been sanctioned shall not be considered espionage.</blockquote>
<br />
I'm requesting clarification on "... individual or government body responsible for a restricted area may sanction...", say the restricted document is on Discord, in one of the Channels, say a private Cabinet Channel, would the Prime Minister have to consult the Discord Server Owner to release their own Documents as the Server owner is arguably the individual responsible for a restricted area. Moreover, does this legally allow the Server Owner to release documents in accordance with this code? Likewise, how does this code affect the Forum Administrator?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In accordance with Article 5, Section Six of the Mandate, could the Court (once it is at full strength) please clarify the scope that may be encompassed by proscriptions?<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.nslazarus.com/thread-501.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Hostile Entities and Persons Act (December 2018)</a> grants the Assembly the power to "<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">designate a region or organization as a hostile entity</span>" when petitioned to do so by the Delegate or the CLS. What are the criteria for an organisation to be designated as such? May organisations such as the NPO, which includes a NationStates branch but is not limited to NS, be proscribed in its entirety? If so, does the proscription of the NPO apply to its entirety or to the NationStates branch alone?<br />
<br />
Things you might consider:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Other branches of the NPO have given materiel support onsite before, providing pilers for the NPO's actions in St Abbaddon and during the NLO coup.<br />
</li>
<li>All of the branches of the NPO share a common forum and discord server. Is that not comparable to us masking NS NPO members on this forum, and in our discord server?<br />
</li>
</ul>
No doubt other people have their own takes regarding this and will post them in this thread.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
