As per "tradition", you can start the thread, when the other International Police Operations have finished, though.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

The Government of the Teddy Bear Republic Empire officially requests the International Criminal Police and Peacekeepers Organization to carry out an ICPPO operation in Refugia Province, TBRE.
This is in light of a recent heightened string of attacks by the Human First Group that has severely damaged the TBRE's reputation of having little to no crime.

Background: The Human First Party is technically legal, but many of their activities - which include terrorism, assault and armed robbery - are not. They are an organization dedicated to the "purification" of the world by ridding it of other sapient species.
Proposed objective: Arrest the second in command, code name Virus, on 137 individual counts.
On-scene Operational Coordinator: Captain LeWolffe, National Police

Please state "aye" or "nay" to this operation. It is not compulsory for every nation to join in this operation, even if it is passed. For aye, please state the number of forces (preferably no more than 200 for administrative purposes), the commander of the task force, and abilities of the task force (reconnaissance, ground support, etc).
Vote ends in 48 hours.

[New Emmerian Coalition]

Aye sir!
We can deploy an SRT team of 120 able bodied men in 24 hours. They will be armed with Riot shields and 9mm/556 Small arms, they can provide riot control. Their commander will be Cpt. Rogers of the 12th division 414. We will also deploy 30 414 members who can provide ground support if combat becomes too heavy.

[Altruistic Paladins]

Aye, we shall join this again.

Number: 200 strong task force
Commander(s): Francesco Cavalaro and Michio Black
Capabilities: Ground operations, air operations, logistics, some reconassaince, some blue water capabilities, some brown water capabilities

[Hun-Jagan Corporation]

Nay
Although HJC is eager to finally use its interpol; we avoid it to hinder the struggle of humans against other species- we do not have a dossier on this case. Even though our official decision is "No", we send 5 special agents of the CSB4 in order to investigate the case and observe the (legal aspects of) operation.

[Firestorm0901]

Special Investigator In Charge, Timothy Hawthorne of the Federal Investigations and Enforcement Bureau (FIEB) along with his deputy, Colonel Diane Peterson of the Home Security Group (Homeland Force) arrived at the International Criminal Police and Peacekeepers Organization (ICPPO) Headquarters, along with 18 other Special Investigators and Home Security Group soldiers. The commanders looked in awe at the busy workstations and members of several different countries from places they had never heard bustling about the room.

Hawthorne: You guys wait here, Diane how about you come with me see where they would like us to setup.
Peterson: Sure thing, anxious to get started?
Hawthorne: After that plane ride? Not really. But it looks like you are.
Peterson: Yup can always sleep on cargo planes and be refreshed.
Hawthorne: Don't know how you do it, come on lets find the boss' office.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Hi. The mission (which, may I had, as been postponed until we sort out legal definitions and whatnot) is not on this thread. It will take place on another one, which is currently non-existent and only exists in the unconscious mind of moi. I thought I stated all of that on the OP, but oh well. May I take this moment to add that I do like your contemporary way of writing out things.

[Firestorm0901]

OOC: I see what you were saying and I know this is where ops are posted and debated on before being assigned a thread. I was under the impression we could also IC post about things happening at the HQ and I figured this would be the appropriate place to intro my staff who will be assigned to the HQ. Hope this clarifies!

[Teddy Bear Republic]

OOC: I apologize, forgot to read the rest of your post, and thought it was on the operation. *Kicks himself* It's a bit odd, but yeah, I'll allow it here. Apologies again.
If you want to do an RP on the HQ (which you might want to define what we'll be doing there), then sure, go ahead.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

OOC: As we suggest here, could this topic be used for only IC stuff henceforth?

[Kommunist Karlzgrad]

Kommunist Karlzgrad is pleased to note your acceptance. I hope you can see this from our perspective.

The secret international police is, well, secret because it was originally formed to ensure that the Soviet Union's old nuclear stockpiles (quite large and spread out) didn't get into the wrong hands. Naturally this isn't the sort of operation that needs public attention.
Later their jurisdiction spread to include all counter-terrorist measures. Again, a high level of confidentiality was needed, and all operations were covert.
They now carry out any missions of a delicate or particularly dangerous nature, such as taking down a mob boss or drug cartel lord, raiding arms dealers, etc... sometimes they collaborate with the normal police force or the military, but usually they are left to do things on their own.

Of all our forces, the KKSIP is the one most focused on justice, and the one I'm sure you'll find most agreeable. That is why we are donating them to this cause.

-Kzar Karl, ruler of the Raushin Vorld of the United Socialist States of Kommunist Karlzgrad-

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Thank you for informing us. We were unsure whether by secret police you meant a political one, or merely one that prefered to remain covert. We welcome you to the organization.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

There are two motions for vote. (OOC: we're meant to be voting here now.) Here we are:

Not regarding the warrant form, but moreso the Charter itself: We may need to adjust it later on (e.g. I'm still in favor of our older definition of criminals), but we can't have every nation vote on these. So what we could do is form some kind of "inner circle" (the administrative forces) that accepts willingly input from the outside but decides whether or not the changes are made. If we decide to do so, we could save a lot of time, but the Charter should contain the following:
Every member-state has the duty to check the Charter for changes and is free to leave the ICPPO at any time.
Just an idea. Feedback?

We approve of all of this, and move that the proposed addition to the Charter be made in II, 2, as c)

We move that the following Judicial Operations Resolution be adopted:
Firmly resolved to carry out the aims of our organization to the fullest,
Hence wishing to establish the operating principals of the Court of Justice, and
Whereas the principals and requirements of Section II of the Charter of the ICCPO allow for an indicate the need for this document,
The ICCPO agrees as follows:
Article 1: Judges of the Court of Justice shall be appointed at a general meeting for a term of one year at a time.
Article 2: A Judge may be nominated by his or her country for appointment as one of the Judges of the Court of Justice, and if there is a majority in favour of the appointment of this Judge, he shall be appointed; and if there is not, he shall be rejected.
Article 3: A Judge may be removed by three quarters of the membership.
Article 4: The Judges may elect by majority amongst themselves a President and Deputy President(s) to oversee the proceedings of the Court of Justice.
Article 5: The Judges may replace the President and Deputy President(s) at their pleasure.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Please note that due to discrepancies in the approval system of warrants and operations, approval (be it through voting) will be temporarily halted.

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

We move to strike out Article 4, 5, 6, and 12 from Section 2 of the Charter and replace them with this:

Article 4: Operational and Legal Procedures
a) Each Member nation may appoint a maximum of one representative for a maximum of one week.

c) The Legislative Representatives may elect a Secretary and Deputies to run the executive operations and oversee the legislative procedures of the ICCPO.

Article 5: The Secretary and Deputies
a) The Secretary and deputies shall hold their posts at the pleasure of The Legislative Representatives.
b) It is the duty of the Secretary to oversee the execution of the operations of the force, including but not limited to the approval of Warrants and Operations and oversee the legislative procedures of the force.
c) It is the duty of the deputies to assist the Secretary in the manner that the Secretary shall define; unless The Legislative Representatives choose to divide up the duties of the Secretary and Deputies in future legislation.

Article 6: Role of the Founder
a) It is the Founder's duty to assist the Secretary and Deputies, and if there are none; the Founder shall automatically assume the post of Secretary.

Article 12: Enactment and Amendment Procedures of this Charter

We also vote in favour of the proposed Motions above. TBRE, shall we tally the votes?

EDIT: Motion suspended by author.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Above motion Blocked, due to the lack of finalization of discussion.

The following, however, are available for vote, due to the presumed finalization of discussion (and lack thereof):

Nations may vote [AYE], [NAY], or [ABSTAIN]

An Addition to the Charter

"Every member-state has the duty to check the Charter for changes and is free to leave the ICPPO at any time."

An Addition to the Charter on Warranting

Article x: Warrants

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

We re-register our vote in favour of all those proposals, i.e. [AYE], [AYE], [AYE] in that or any order.

Above motion Blocked, due to the lack of finalization of discussion.

We aren't convinced you have the right to block a proposed amendment to the Charter. You have the right to call the vote to define when a fifth of the membership is in favour, if this is disputable. However, we have suspended our proposal.

By the way, you missed out the Judicial Operations Resolution we proposed ages ago.

We move that the following Judicial Operations Resolution be adopted:

Firmly resolved to carry out the aims of our organization to the fullest,
Hence wishing to establish the operating principals of the Court of Justice, and
Whereas the principals and requirements of Section II of the Charter of the ICCPO allow for an indicate the need for this document,
The ICCPO agrees as follows:
Article 1: Judges of the Court of Justice shall be appointed at a general meeting for a term of one year at a time.
Article 2: A Judge may be nominated by his or her country for appointment as one of the Judges of the Court of Justice, and if there is a majority in favour of the appointment of this Judge, he shall be appointed; and if there is not, he shall be rejected.
Article 3: A Judge may be removed by three quarters of the membership.
Article 4: The Judges may elect by majority amongst themselves a President and Deputy President(s) to oversee the proceedings of the Court of Justice.
Article 5: The Judges may replace the President and Deputy President(s) at their pleasure.

As a possible replacement for our proposal, we suggest a movement to strike out Article 4, 5, 6, and 12 from Section 2 of the Charter and replace them with this, re-numbering Articles as appropriate:

Article 4: The Legislative Representatives
a) Each Member nation may appoint a maximum of one representative for a maximum of one week.
b) Each representative shall possess legislative initiative, and shall be The Legislative Representative of their nation.
c) The Legislative Representatives shall order their own proceedings in any manner they choose consistent with legislation.
