LAW IN QUESTION
LEGAL QUESTIONS OR CHALLENGES
The Magisterium is currently deliberating a treaty between The East Pacific and Lazarus. There are a few clauses that both parties have expressed questions about, and we would like to have the questions clarified within the perspective of The East Pacific.
- Are treaties considered law for the purposes of binding power/legal enforcement or are they purely a diplomatic instrument that guides the government in it’s actions in regards to the other signatory?
- If a treaty is amended, and said treaty has clauses that specify that any such amendments do not take effect until both signatories have signed it into law in their respective legislatures, assuming a treaty is considered law as per Question 1, will such an amendment take legal effect immediately after passage regardless of such a clause?
- If a treaty has a clause that states specific sections cannot be amended, would this be a valid restriction on the Magisterium’s ability to enact amendments of such treaties or can any amendment contrary to such a clause still be enacted regardless?
