§.1 - Legislation

The purpose of the Ethics Committee is to always try to be as fair and transparent as possible. 

To live up to this goal evidence shall be available through the following basis:

• Deliver evidence to the accused whenever an inquiry by the party is brought forth and/or during an on-going investigation.

• Evidence may be disclosed to the public in-cases in which the accused has requested it be released. 

Protected by EC if ordered to do something unethical (if not O5+)

Certain roles within the foundation are immune to the Code of Regulations and Ethics. These groups include:

• The Administrator

• Group Manager

• O5 Council

• Facility Director

• Facility Engineer

  • If performing necessary development duties.

• Internal Security Bureau

  • Under certain circumstances

• Theta-1

  • When guarding a VIP or carrying out O5 commands.

• Lemegeton CoRE Exceptions: 

  • Immune to murder/manslaughter when performing rituals, have been touched, or identities revealed.

  • Allowed to enter Unit 3 and house on surface.

  • Allowed to detain people for rituals.

  • Allowed outside of breach shelter if deemed necessary. 

Infractions of the Foundation Regulations will be handled in three categories.

(C) Minor Infraction:
A minor infraction is a minor offense. If you are caught with a distracting package you may be warned and asked to change. Punishments for minor infractions include a warning or an Ethics Committee watchlist.

(B) Medium Infraction:
A medium infraction could be assault or tool abuse. Punishments for said infraction level may be departmental punishments or being placed on an Ethics Committee watchlist, or even a short Class-E sentencing.

(A) Major Infraction:
A major infraction is the highest level of a violation of the Code of Regulations and Ethics. Punishments for major infractions include departmental blacklists, Class-Es, or Ethics Committee watchlists.

The rights of the accused are as follows:

You have the right to remain silent. You are not entitled to representation. 

If for some reason the decision is later appealed to the Tribunal Affairs representation can be provided there upon request.

The purpose of the Ethics Committee is to uphold equity and fairness for all. 

To live up to this goal the Ethics Committee has set these standards:

• All evidence brought forward by an FP will be fully confidential, unless it is to be brought forward in an appeal to be detested.

• This does not apply incases of an EC member bringing forward pieces of evidence, in this case, the opposing party is allowed to see the evidence whenever they please.

• In the event where an FP is to present evidence against a violator, the video evidence must clearly contain the CoRE violation being committed and not simply its outcome, this is to help ensure proper subjection to punishment.

The purpose of the Ethics Committee is to ensure all personnel maintain professional conduct, regardless of their assigned team. As part of this, an FP on CD team will still be held accountable for violations, these include but are not limited to:

 • FR:19 Evasion of Authority 

• FR:26 Usage of Terminal Commands

 • FR:27 Interference with Duties of Law Enforcement Departments 

• FR:33 Name Dropping 

Any offenses committed under these regulations will be reviewed and prosecuted without exemption. The Ethics Committee holds that adherence to these regulations is vital for maintaining the Foundation's integrity and operational security.
