ORDER OF CONCLAVE:

For reasons of violating an Arrest Warrant duly ordered by this Court, Conclave hereby issues an Order regarding
Failure to Appear in the matter “The East Pacific v. Unibot”.

Due to Unibot’s presence in The East Pacific’s jurisdiction while an Arrest Warrant in his name was in force, and his failure to be present and stand trial, he is hereby banned, excluding exceptions, from the totality of The East Pacific for “FAILURE TO APPEAR” before Conclave. Therefore, Unibot is barred from future claims to citizenship by virtue that he may not legally be a resident of The East Pacific, as outlined in Article E, Section 1 of the Concordat, and shall be subject to the lawful banishment by the Delegate as stated within this order.

The ban shall be enforced until such a time that any one of the following are fulfilled:

[ul][li]The accused makes it known to the Viceroy that he will stand trial,
[li]Two years have elapsed since the issuing of the ban. [/li][/ul]
Should the ban be allowed to expire, the Arrest Warrant shall be re-issued and re-instated.

SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS DUE TO FOREIGN DIPLOMATIC POSITION[ul]
An exception to this ban shall be made if all the following are fulfilled:
[li]Unibot is occupying the position of a Foreign Dignitary
[li]This position is considered to be acting in the capacity of a Diplomat
[li]The home Region of this position is in good standing with the East Pacific
[li]Any communication from Unibot in The East Pacific’s jurisdiction is considered to be officially and strictly diplomatic
[li]Any communication from Unibot is restricted to officially designated diplomatic areas (ie: an Embassy)[/li][/ul]
If any of the above are not fulfilled, the ban shall be enacted despite dignitary status.
