Whereas it has always been necessary to preserve order,
Recognizing that there exists a need for an organization to combat the problem of crime, especially with mass criminal gangs now operate across borders,
Observing that there exists a good opportunity to act on sound values, and intentions,
Aiming to provide or facilitate communication between member countries regarding law and peace enforcement,
Determined to aid in the process of bringing criminals to justice at all costs within the bounds of the respective law,
This document hereby outlines all of the principals, procedures, and operations of THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL POLICE AND PEACEKEEPERS ORGANIZATION (ICPPO); and shall be considered The Charter of that organization.

i) breaks signed agreements, treaties, or contracts that cause economic, social or political problems on broad scale
Article 2: Suspected Criminals
The ICPPO defines a suspected criminal as any person or entity who is charged with any of the above by any sovereign entity if the charges fit the above criteria or the accuser can assume that the case meets I.P. values.

Article 4: Critical Situations for Peacekeeping
The ICPPO Forces define a critical situation as a situation whereas the ICPPO decides to intervene.
The ICPPO will decide upon this matter on a case-by-case-basis. To qualify for possible ICPPO intervention outside of classifications regarding terrorism or crime, scenarios must:
a) harm basic human rights, or
b) seriously pose a threat to citizen's well-being unless those wounded are exclusively signed-up soldiers who, without being forced, agreed to fight for their nation
Section 2: Organizational Procedures
[spoiler=Section 2]Article 1: Limits and Jurisdiction

b) It is the Founder's duty to organize events, and help the General Secretary.
Article 7: Operations

c) continue to pursue any criminals in the area as defined above, and/or
d) watch over the peace process and aid where necessary.

This falls under the ICJ committee and the Dept. of Financial and Legal Affairs., which shall be defined in later laws.

After the breakup of the old soviet union, the nation was left in a shambles of fractured states, and the mafia took control. Now we seek to clean up the organized crime that dominates the land, securing all the weapons, including nuclear, for the rightful cause of Raushin liberation.
We are forming a secret police force to work alongside other nations in this effort. Their uniforms consist of long black leather coats, black leather pants, black shoes, black hat... you get the picture.
Nation name: Kommunist Karlzgrad
Most common crimes in your nation: Oh goodness, where to start? Violent crimes, illicit gambling, illicit drug use, conspiracy and terrorist acts, illegal possession of nuclear arms, defacing public property...
Major criminal organizations in your nation: Various arms of the Raushin mafia: Leningrad mob, Novgorod mob, the Black Arms, the Red Barons, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra of Pain, the Greater Kamchatka Mafia, the Red Oktoberfesters. Most of the crime has already been removed from Karlzgrad, but the rest of Raushia is just a mess.
List of major law enforcement agencies: The army, the general police force, and the secret international police.
Location of ICPPO headquarters in your nation: Kremlin Square, Karlzgrad (the kapital city)
Are you willing to uphold the Charter (See Factbook and National Information): yes

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

Crata wrote: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?

That's not my concern, it's just that I want less of a bureaucratic mess and more action. A General Secretary is unnecessary, because what would they do? Can't we all be the voice / face of the ICPPO? Anyways, you've got me to organize stuff, and I have no legal / authorative power over anything anyways. Apart from accepting people, I guess, but that's trivial.

I suppose we could have a legislative council, with no voting authority apart from helping out organizing this and calling forth motions.
