Auroran law: Difference between revisions

The [[Auroran Parliament]] and the Council of the UNAC comprise the Legislature of the UNAC. The Auroran Parliament is elected once every four years by the citizens of UNAC member states by single-member constituencies. Only parties registered at the continental level can run in elections. Thus, most political parties in members states form part of a larger transnational political party such as the [[Auroran Socialist Democratic Party]]. In contrast, the Council of the UNAC is composed of Representatives from member states as appointed by their governments.

 

===Ordinary acts===

Ordinary acts refer to statutes that control day to day running of transnational issues. This can include intracontinental trade and movement, multilateral scientific cooperation, multilateral food and drug standards, data privacy, environmental protection, fishing and related legislation. As part of the UNAC Charter, all island member states have certain opt-outs from ordinary acts, i.e. some laws do not apply or the government of that island country can choose which parts to obey. This exemption covers issues such as but not limited to food imports, immigration, and marine and land ecology. These acts require a simple majority in the Auroran Parliament and the Council of the UNAC to pass but the Council can overrule the Parliament by passing the act with a 66% majority. Most of the time these acts are either projects that require transnational cooperation or standards and guidelines. They rarely make requirements that affect how member states run their domestic affairs.
