You have Imperiuxs approval. It's about time some common sense got in. Yes it may be like the Anti-Terrorism Bill which we opposed, but it isn't going as far. It's setting acceptable standards of security within member countries, so that we can catch wanted criminals. I'm all for it.

There is something here, not sure it's something I'd want to pass, but it's a solid idea. (I like the idea of my country as a refuge for refuse.) However, here's some things I noticed.

International crime law

I think you mean "drug and arms traffic". You don't want the apostrophe.



This office must have special agents, highly qualified and specialized in different fields.
Very vague. What if I wanted to staff mine with highly qualified geologists, receptionists, and clowns?


All Un nations must cooperate in this project concerning the safety of the member states and their citizens.
Capitalize UN.

Nation Members should:

1 - Create one International Investigation Office.

Is this per nation, per city, or just one over the whole of NS?


2 - Recruit and train their best officers.

WHo's best officers? Spell this out a bit better.

3 - Trade information with all nation member´s concerning all their wanted and fugitives in order to facilitate their capture.


Some of this may be considered classified. And what about political criminals?


4 - Implant chips on all criminals to facilitate their identification (including in prisons,all prisoners should have one ship to prevent new escapes.


This rules out "past tech" nations, and those who are just plain poor. And it's really hard to follow.

5 - Strengthen their control in all airports and borders.

For some nations, this is really difficult. Mine is a collection of tiny islands. I can't put a fence around the whole place, and it's easy for one boat to slip in.

6 - Survey all suspect transactions between companies to prevent international organizations funding.

What's suspect? I might find giving money to churches suspect. Or, shipping any money abroad.

In general, I'd suggest fleshing this all out a bit better. Solid idea, a truly interational problem. Good luck.

No.
Implanting chips...anyone else see a human rights issue?
You need to say how this relates to National police forces, will the Int. automatically take over? Work together? etc.
Exactly what is covered by the Int. Force, i.e. Customs controls trafficking, so will they be Int. or Nat.? Tracking of fugitives...who has arrest powers, and who has control once arrested? Internal terrorists...Nat or Int? What about the police in airports?
Do the National governments have control, or will this force answer to the UN alone?
Surely it is up to the individual to choose what area of the Police Force they want to apply to?
Will they be automatically armed? Noting some Nations' ban on firearms.
Who will those arrested be tried by? The country they were captured in or the UN or the country of origin after extradition?
If the latter, will the Int.Force insist on extradition, if they have control of the prisoner, despite a Nation's policy on extradition to certain countries?
Those are just off the top of my head.

OFFICIAL REPLY
The Pure Socialist Holy Empire does not want an international body to tell it what is Legal and what is Illegal. Matters like this should fall under NatSov and should be up to individual nations and not the United Nations. We appreciate the jesture of this proposal, but we feel that it is unnecessary for the UN to deal with such trivial matters.

The Republic of Compadria is concerned that the cooperation in such an arrangement is so poorly construed. What should the purpose of such an office be and why would only one be necessitated? Surely it would be more efficient to differentiate so as to maximise efficiency in investigations and operations.

Nation Members should:

1 - Create one International Investigation Office.

2 - Recruit and train their best officers.

3 - Trade information with all nation member´s concerning all their wanted and fugitives in order to facilitate their capture.

4 - Implant chips on all criminals to facilitate their identification (including in prisons,all prisoners should have one ship to prevent new escapes.

The implantation of such chips would be unduly violative of civil liberties, because no mechanism is outlined for the removal of such a chip and the possibility exists that it could be used as a means of exercising authoritarian control over dissidents deemed "criminals".

5 - Strengthen their control in all airports and borders.

6 - Survey all suspect transactions between companies to prevent international organizations funding.

Funding what? Strengthen how?

May the blessings of our otters be upon you.

including in prisons,all prisoners should have one ship to prevent new escapes.

Heh. I think a small boat would be enough. ;)

Otherwise, I see potential in this idea, but there is still much work to be done.

If this 'International' office is to be run by the UN then that makes the proposal illegal.

Hey, a title that is a contradiction in one neat package "international crime law", just like "united nations".......

OOC:Whose arm is this that is experiencing an increase in traffic? And don't cars driving over one's arm hurt like hell?

Oh, and don't bother bringing up terrorists. Apparently they don't exist. We only have freedom fighters in NS.

Insted of microchips, I much prefer the esteemed Mr. Bob Backlund's suggestion of inbedding a 3" metal ring in the forheads of criminals so all decent, law abiding citizens could identify them.

OOC: These references to pro wrestling -- and old ones at that -- have to stop. :p

OOC: Aww, its part of my Charm!:p And Actually its IC. After all, my deputy Ambassador is a former Wrestler, and if you read the Palentines Wiki entry you'll see that pro-wrestling is very popular there, Brotha!. But I suppose I could "job" for you. But I ain't a going to gaurentee that I'll stay "jobbed". I might kick out on the 2 count Brotha!:p
