Human Rights Act Author: Eloise Eliasson (NPP) and James Penta (Green) (Editor) Sponsors: Dorgival R. Seč (SDP) To give all persons within Saint Hilda the rights to life, bodily autonomy, privacy of belongings, free expression, sufferage, equality before the law, fair trial, and other rights.
BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED, as follows:
Right to life is bestowed upon all persons upon birth and shall not be violated in any circumstance except to protect the lives of others in immediate, life-threatening peril, to punish extraordinarily heinous acts against another human life, or in wartime where the killing of enemy combatants is just under international law.
All persons have the right to bodily autonomy and privacy. No person, personal affect, or person’s property—physical or digital—shall be forcibly detained, seized, searched, or otherwise violated except by an officer of the law for the purposes of protecting the health and safety of others, interrupting criminal activity committed in flagrante delicto, or pursuant to a warrant issued by a lawful judge of Saint Hilda on the basis of probable cause.
Torture, involuntary physical maiming, or psychological abuse are prohibited without exception.
All persons enjoy the right to free speech, free assembly, free press, and petition for grievances inasmuch as such expressions or manifestations are nonviolent, do not incite violence, do not jeopardize the health and security of others, or do not defame, slander, or libel a person, persons, or organization.
All persons enjoy the right to freely practice nonviolent, harmless religious or cultural practice, as well as the right to abstain thereof.
All citizens having seventeen years of age or greater shall have the right to freely vote or abstain from voting. The Government of Saint Hilda shall not institute a poll tax or attempt in any way to obstruct any citizen from voting.
All persons, regardless of sex, religion, culture, socioeconomic status, or political identity are equal before the Government of Saint Hilda.
No person shall be detained for criminal offense except under substantial charge filed by a prosecutor of Saint Hilda with the consent of the Ministry of Justice. Upon charge, all persons shall have the right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus to be seen by a court within forty-eight hours of their detainment. The right to habeas corpus may be suspended during justifiable grave internal or external unrest as declared by Parliament and ratified by the Constitutional Court, and such suspensions shall only last until the period of unrest has passed.
All persons are protected against self-incrimination or the incrimination of their spouse or children.
All persons have a right to a fair, unbiased, and expeditious trial in a court of law before a jury of their peers, and shall have unconstrained access to a trained barrister or barristers for their civil or criminal defense, and all communication between a person and their barrister shall be privileged beyond any subpoena; if a person cannot afford a private barrister, the state shall furnish one for them. All persons shall have the right to access and examine any evidence or testimony against them, as well as the right to bring forth and compel any evidence or testimony in their defense. All evidence or testimony offered in support of the innocence of the defense must be considered, regardless of the nature of such evidence or testimony.
All persons found guilty shall have the right to petition for a writ of certiorari before a higher court, and no person shall be subjected to double jeopardy for the same offense.
The Human Rights Act shall apply to the government of Saint Hilda and all constituent and local governing bodies therein, as well as within all chancelleries, consulates, and other extensions of the Government of Saint Hilda abroad, as well as on all vessels of land or sea, public or private, that fly the Saint Hilda flag.

To the sponsors of the Human Rights Act, I have realized that we did not add any clause pertaining to ex post facto laws. Upon approval from Agantrop, the following clause has been added:
No law shall be administered ex post facto, except those applying retroactively in mitius or any statute that enforces international peremptory norms.

Conscription Act Author: James Penta (Green)
BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED, as follows:
§1 - Repeal
All laws in conflict with this legislation are henceforth repealed.
§2 - Registration
All persons, regardless of gender, must legally register for conscription into the Saint Hildan armed forces after their 15th but before their 17th birthday
If a person fails to do the act required under Section 2.1, they shall be detained for at most 75 days upon indictment
The legal parents and/or guardians of a person who fails to do the act required under Section 2.1 will be fined at most 50,000 Kr or imprisoned for at most six months
If the person themselves or their legal parents and/or guardians are deemed not to have control over the decision not to comply with Section 2.1 no penalty shall be imposed on them
Persons deemed medically unfit for service are exempt from the requirements of Section 2.1
§3 - Effectivity
With a simple majority, parliament may invoke an order to 'invoke section 3.1' meaning that all persons who have registered under Section 2.1 aged between 18 and 25 are legally required to spend an amount of time - specified by parliament - in the Saint Hildan armed forces before they turn 25.
If an order to invoke section 3.1 is repealed (again, with a simple majority), once every person who had registered under section 2.1 who was between the ages of 18 and 25 when section 3.1 was invoked has spent their time in the armed forces as mandated by Parliament conscription will no longer be in effect.
Any person who evades or attempts to evade the requirements made during such an order to invoke section 3.1 as detailed in Section 3.1 shall be fined or imprisoned for 6 months or less.
A person who has been convicted of a crime prior to their 18th birthday must spend the year between their 18th and 19th birthday either in the armed forces of Saint Hilda or completing community work (what 'community work' entails shall be at the discretion of their municipal authority), regardless of whether parliament has invoked section 3.1 or not.
A person who tries to evade the requirements of section 3.4 shall be punished with imprisonment for no more than two years
All laws in conflict with this legislation are henceforth repealed.
§2 - Registration
All persons, regardless of gender, must legally register for conscription into the Saint Hildan armed forces after their 15th but before their 17th birthday
If a person fails to do the act required under Section 2.1, they shall be detained for at most 75 days upon indictment

I don't think you should write "invoke section 3.1" in Section 3.1. Instead just say:
"With a simple majority, parliament may order all persons who have registered under Section 2.1 aged between 18 and 25 to spend an amount of time - specified by parliament - in the Saint Hildan armed forces before they turn 25."
Same goes for the other clauses that mention invoking section 3.1
That said, however, I do not support conscription. Reserving conscription for wartime, maybe, but not a blanket law that allows conscription.
All laws in conflict with this legislation are henceforth repealed.

I have been asked by Martune to give an apology in order for me to be able to return into the community with good faith. I have decided to address all those whom I might have insulted or hurt.
I have been accused of various things: plagiarism, puppeting accounts, lying to the community, godmoding, and generally being an asshole. I am guilty on all those counts. I comported myself very poorly in the Elizia roleplay, and I was justifiably banned as a result of it. When I returned to turn a new leaf, I was snarky and cuntish with other players. I am completely guilty of that as well. This led to my justified banning from this RP, but I have since asked the admins if it might be possible for me to return.
To all those whom I have insulted or hurt, directly or indirectly, I am very sorry. To those whom I lied to and cheated, I am sorry. To those whom I have insulted this time around, I am sorry. To the people who saw me as the major problem of the Elizia roleplay, I am sorry most of all. This is my fault and mine alone. I promise that if I am allowed to return, I will treat all players with the respect they merit, and I will acknowledge that I am on extremely thin ice.
Thank you, Nariterrr

I wasn't one of the insulted, and I wasn't in Elizia, so it isn't my place to say, but I think this is a good, heart-felt apology. I'm all in favor letting Nariterrr back and giving him a chance.
