Memorandum to Minister Baner

Minister,

I am writing to request a formal appointment to a position within the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). I believe that the government and the people of Eutopia, as well as the new Lundgren administration, would be well served by the creation of an office or portfolio of law and legal representation within the MHA. This office would be an office of solicitor general, attorney general, etc.

PURPOSE:
The purpose of such a portfolio would be to delegate those responsibilities specifically legal in nature to an officer, learned in the law, who could adequately understand and professionally deal with the legal issues arising within the government.

ORGANIZATION:
The office or portfolio would be organized within the MHA. This officer could, constitutionally speaking, be appointed by the minister. No additional appropriation or approval from Parliament would be necessary as this subject matter is already within the purview of the MHA. The officer would report directly to the minister, his immediate superior. The officer would have the authority to organize the portfolio and those government employees within it in any reasonable manner, so long as its tasks, goals, objects, etc. remain within the limits of the portfolio and constitution.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
The office will have primary responsibility for those aspects of the MHA which relate to the laws of Eutopia, legal issues, representation of the government, legal advisory actions, prosecution of crime, etc. The office will:
(1) Advise the Parliament, President, and ministries on legal issues as requested, as well as file appearances amicus curiae before the High Court in matters where the government is not a party.
(2) Represent the government in all civil matters, whether as defendant or plaintiff in the suit.
(3) Prosecute all criminal matters in the first instance as well as on appeal.
The office will not have responsibility or authority over such MHA agencies such as the police, prison system, nor will it conduct primary investigations of criminal matters.

NOMINATION:
I modestly submit my own name to fill this post, should you deem it worthy of creation. I have spent my entire life within the Eutopian legal community. I have extensive practice experience, currently preside over the Eutopian Bar Association, and am an adjunct professor on the faculty of law of the University of Huntingdon. I am also currently unaffiliated with any political party, which puts me in a unique position to advise on the law of Eutopia with an impartiality uniquely suited to this portfolio.

I sincerely hope that you will take this under advisement and act on it as the new government forms. Such an office will be especially valuable in the coming weeks as we test our new constitution and our commitment to the rule of law in Eutopia.

Yours etc,
Edward H. Bogle, Esq.

Mr Boogle,

Your idea seem to be good. I will accept the "deal" and appoint you to the post.
I will take your advice before I will come with new law proposes, but the "office" can offcourse only be advicing. And if it doesn't work well I can dismiss it, but I will let it try some weeks and if it works fine It will be permanent.

Investigators report about the new Coast Guard harbour at Eirikshamn:

Eirikshamn has all the opportunities to become the new great harbour for the Coast Guard.
The sea is very deep at the coast outside Eirikshamn, and the harbour is protected by many small islands and from north protected by a great "arm" from the main Island.
Eirikshamn is a small town with not so many inhabbitants, but many unemployed fishermen who could get work by the coastguard. We need also a new base here, because many smugglers take this way to get their drugs into Eutopia
also is it many illegal immigrants who take this way.
To build a new base here will offcourse be very expensive, but part of the costs will be covered by all unemployed who will get new works here in Eirikshamn.
The base will ofcourse also be a great help for the small local companies who can sell more, because of a raised population and because of richer inhabbitants in and around Eirikshamn.

/William Mill, Johan Banérs' investigator

After having read this investigation report I will put forward a propouse to the Parliament, where I suggest that the new Coast Guard base will be built. The size should be a bit bigger than we need today so we will have some space to expand the ammount of ships/helicopters in the future, without having to rebuild the base.

OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR GENERAL
Edward Bogle - Solicitor General of Eutopia
==============================================

REPORT OF THE OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR GENERAL ON PROPOSED IMMIGRATION LAW CHANGES

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRAFT PROPOSAL

§1. People who want to move to Eutopia should be investigated by licensed invetsigators.
Only those who is needed in the Industry or in other sectors where Eutopia need more workers will be given an Citizenship.

§2. If an Immigrant get caught for some crimes within the first three years as a Eutopian Citizen his Citizenship will be recalled.

§3. The coastguard and customs should immeadietly send back illegal-immigrants to the country where they come from, those should never be allowed to come back to Eutopia again.

§4. People who are refuges according to international conventions that Eutopia have signed should be handled as the convention says.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments and Recommendations:

§ 1

The main thrust of this provision is acceptable on the whole. A number of institutional issues are presented, however. First concerns "licensed investigators." The implication of this statement is that these will be private citizens, licensed to investigate by the government. Alternatively, this could be seen as mandating the establishment of a new bureaucracy, charged with the investigation of potential immigrants. Either way, this must be made clear in the language of the act.

Following that, it must be made clear who will be deciding which persons are needed in which sectors of the economy. Again, this would seem to indicate the creation of a new bureaucracy for such a purpose. This provision, therefore needs revision for clarity's sake.

§ 2

This provision is a legal paradox, is discriminatory, and should be redacted. The problems it presents concern the absolute nature of citizenship. Citizens of Eutopia, by definition, are all equal before the law and should be treated such. The crime committed by a recent citizen and the scion of an old family should be treated no differently; to do so subverts the rule of law and the equality of mankind that we accept in a democratic state. One is either a citizen or not: we cannot categorize them into "good" or "bad" citizens, who can be treated differently without a principled basis for doing so.

A more appropriate way to effectuate your goals is to apply such a provision to applicants for citizenship only. Furthermore, if time is of the essence, it may be advisable to extend the period of application by more years. The current provision, however, cannot stand.

§ 3

This provision suffers from both over-broadness and specificity problems. First, the mandate that the coast guard "immediately" deport immigrants is overly specific. The coast guard should be accorded a reasonable time to deport those caught illegally in the country.

Second, disallowing those deported to every come back to Eutopia is overly broad. It would be better to detail those circumstances in which they might return. For example, might they later return as tourists? As foreign diplomats? More specificity about the terms of their deportation is in order. A better version of this section might read:

All immigrants, caught illegally entering Eutopia by the coast guard, customs, or other law enforcement bodies, shall, within a reasonable time, be deported to their country of origin. Such persons shall be denied permanent residency status or permanent citizenship should they later attempt to emigrate.

§ 4

Presumably, our government will always comport its conduct with international obligations. That assumption would render such a provision unnecessary. However, it might be useful to create a broad policy statement on immigration in such a way. For example, such provision might hold that:

All international conventions on the reception, restriction, treatment, or disposition of immigrants, refugees, displaced persons, or other transient groups shall comport with the international laws and treaties recognized and subscribed to by the government of Eutopia. To the extent that such acts violate those obligations, they shall be considered void.

The difficulty with such a provision is that it lacks the special authority to command power over subsequent Parliamentary legislation. It also raises balance of power issues, since the ministries are under the control of the executive, separated from Parliament by the Constitution, and the Parliament may not commandeer them in such a manner.

Therefore, although this provision states an admirable policy, it is my judgment that it is best removed from any suggested legislation because of the constitutional difficulties it presents as well as the ineffectiveness of such a statutorily enacted provision.

My ministry have now read thru Mr. Bogles' recommendations and suggestions and decided that the law should be as follow, some smaller changes will maybe be made.

/Johan Banér MHA




§1. People who want to move to Eutopia should be investigated by the investigation office.
Only those who is needed in the Industry or in other sectors where Eutopia need more workers will be given a certificate.

§2. The certificate gives the immigrant all rights a Citizen have, except that the certificate can be recalled if the immigrant get caught for a crime that would lead to prison. If the Immigrants have had the certificate for six years without committing any crime that would lead to prison the immigrant will be given citizenship.

§3. All immigrants, caught illegally entering Eutopia by the coast guard, customs, or other law enforcement bodies, shall, within a reasonable time, be deported to their country of origin. Such persons shall be denied permanent residency status or permanent citizenship should they later attempt to emigrate.

§4. People who are refuges according to international conventions that Eutopia have signed should be handled as the convention says, if it not are against the Constitution of Eutopia.

Dear Minister Baner,

I have a few questions for your ministry as it investigates the government's proposal for placing a nuclear power plant in Eutopia.

1) In addition to siting the plant, I am concerned about nuclear waste disposal, and if a disposal facility is located in Eutopia, where it will be sited. What sort of plan will the government adopt for the disposal of high-level nuclear waste? This is a question that has serious environmental and national security issues attached to it. It also will affect the cost of plant construction.

As you know, the radioactive half-life and the potential hazards created by stored materials pose a serious issue when considering a disposal plan. While there are many benefits to a nuclear power program, I feel it important that these be addressed before proceeding.


2) Another question related to disposal is national security. Given the unpredictable international environment in which many rogue states and terrorist organizations seek the materials for weapons, materials like depleted uranium are highly sought after. While materials necessary for a classic atomic or hydrogen bomb probably could not be obtained from our plant, the plant would produce the necessary by products for a "dirty bomb". This means that additional security measures would need to be figured in and included in the cost, and it could also mean attracting unsavory elements to Eutopia.

The incredible profits that could be made selling spent uranium or plutonium could easily tempt a disgruntled worker into selling them to a dangerous organization. Considering the presence of some separatist movements in Eutopia, this should be another area of caution.


I hope that these are concerns that will be of interest to your ministry and that you will have the time and resources to address them. Thank you for your consideration of these matters.

Sincerely,

Rev. Jack Teano.

Mr Teano,

My ministry have investigated your two importent questions, and here follows my answers to your questions:

1. The best should be to pay another country to take care of them, then offcourse some country which we regartds as our friends. This country must also promise not to made any "dirty bombs" and not to sell the waste to anyone. My opinion is that the country we leave it to should already have nuclear weapons then they have no interest in producing any bombs of our waste. Another alternative is to place it deep into our own mountains, where and at which deep are the geologists right now investigating.

2. Well terrorist and others who want to take the waste, if we store it here in Eutopia should not be able to steal it. Because it will be placed deep in the mountains and be garded by the army of Eutopia.

I hereby announce that our ministers should be granted two bodygards each. The president should be given five. It will maybe for someone seem selfish of us ministers to give ourself bodyguards, but the assasination attempt on Minister Jools showed thatwe need bodyguards to our minister. The police in Eutopia City should educate the bodyguards and then each ministry should hire them of each ministrys' administrative budgets. Sombody think the military should come with bodyguards but the police are better on that issue therefore have I not involved the military
