PRIVY COUNCIL REPORTS 2 Alex. 7 № 1(1) | Ordinance 1/2023 |
IMPERIAL ORDINANCE RESPECTING CERTAIN MEASURES FOR
THE PRESERVATION OF PUBLIC ORDER
ALEXIOS VII VATATZES
PELASGIAN EMPEROR
As requested by Our Council of Ministers, and having considered that:
1. There exists presently a nationwide movement of unlawful occupations of public buildings, which is taking on the characteristics of an insurrection against the lawful organs of State authority and which is preventing the execution of several Imperial Laws.
2. The All-Pelasgian Confederation of Labour ("PES") has voted to hold a general strike in support of the unlawful occupation movement, with a direct view to undermining the Government, and with open reference to illegal methods of strike, such as the occupation of places of labour.
3. There exists a possibility of foreign interference in the domestic politics of the Nation, given public statements of support for the unlawful strikers and occupiers, and the operation of several foreign entities in support of the aforementioned unlawful actors in Pelasgia.
We, at the advice of Our Privy Council, decree and ordain as follows:
Article 1 - Unlawful Strike
IO 1/2023, art. 1
1. The general strike voted for by PES is declared to be unlawful, under Art. 25(3) of the Constitution and art. 281 of the Civil Code.
2. As such, any and all participation in or militancy in favour of the unlawful strike is deemed to be an unlawful act itself, subject to the penalties provided for in the Penal Code and the relevant laws, including the Delictum Sui Generis Law (Law 477/1990).
3. PES itself may be prosecuted under the Delictum Sui Generis Law (Law 477/1990) if it refuses to comply with this Ordinance.
Article 2 - Emergency Ordinances (Domestic)
IO 1/2023, art. 2
1. Violations of penal law relating to illegal occupations of places of work and learning are hereby deemed to be not ordinary offences but seditious activity within the meaning of the Delictum Sui Generis Law (Law 477/1990). This also applies to any public or private space or building, if its occupation or other unlawful use is related to pursuing the objectives or otherwise supporting the activities of the persons occupying the places of work and learning contemplated by this article.
2. As such, in prosecuting these violations, the organs of Order are entitled to circumvent ordinary criminal procedure and constitutional protections as provided for in the Delictum Sui Generis Law (Law 477/1990).
3. Moreover, where the owners, residents or managers of the occupied spaces, or their agents, aid or abet the occupiers in any way, they may be prosecuted in a like manner.
4. In the case of university students and officials, the Minister of Education is empowered to punish offenders fully pursuant to the University Law (Law 1268/1982), including sanctions up to permanent expulsion and permanent termination with prejudice.
5. Any individual participating in an unlawful association claiming to be a student union may be prosecuted under the Delictum Sui Generis Law (Law 477/1990) in connection with acts prosecuted under this Ordinance.
Article 3 - Emergency Ordinances (Foreign)
IO 1/2023, art. 3
1. Any offender deemed to have committed any act prosecuted under this Ordinance who is not a Pelasgian national or citizen may be deprived of his residency status in Pelasgia without prior proceeding or hearing, and he may be expelled from the country, provided that he shall be entitled to contest this decision after the fact.
2. Any foreign governmental body or organisation, or any body or organisation which receives funding or support from Foreign Governments, and which supports or commits acts criminalised under this Ordinance may be dissolved without prior hearing.
3. The provisions of this Article do not apply to foreign diplomatic missions directly. In the case of foreign diplomatic missions, offending diplomats shall be declared to be personae non gratae and expelled.
4. A foreign private body, business or other association, or a private body, business or other association receiving foreign funding or support from private sources, and which supports or commits acts criminalised under this Ordinance may be dissolved without prior hearing.
5. The principals and directors of foreign bodies prosecuted under this article may be liable to prosecution themselves under the Delictum Sui Generis Law (Law 477/1990) and other applicable laws.
Article 4 - Operative Provisions
IO 1/2023, art. 4
1. This decree shall be executed by Our Ministers of the Interior and Education.
2. This decree enters into force immediately upon its publication in the Official Gazette. It shall remain in force for forty-five (45) days unless its legal force and effect is previously revoked by the Government or Parliament.
3. Per article 44 of the Constitution of Pelasgia, as presently in force, this Ordinance is to be tabled for review before both the Boule of Representatives and the Council of State within forty-five (45) days after its entry into force.
4. Per article 44 of the Constitution of Pelasgia, the Judicial Senate of the State shall verify the legal validity of this Ordinance within the same period, and hear any challenges of this Ordinance or its enforcement in first instance through its Fifth Department.
