To understand regulations, this guide has been established for new players to correctly interpret laws set by the Committee.

DEFINED TERMINOLOGY

To understand the meaning of a certain word or phrase, one may head to the ‘Defined Terminology’/'Definitions' Trello list. This list will clarify what is meant by certain phrases, as well as the different types of infractions available. It is important to note that any card that is labelled purple is under the jurisdiction of the Internal Security Department.

PROCESSING ACTS

Acts that are currently being created and discussed by members of the Legislation Panel within the Ethics Committee. They are listed within this Trello list to promote transparency between the Committee. Foundation Personnel have the right to contribute their opinion to legislation that they believe negatively impacts them.

RIGHTS

Rights are permissions or obligations granted to the stated individual, with the sole goal of protecting, as well as establishing, one’s boundaries within the SCP Foundation. (https://trello.com/c/d8fvizoi/22-right ) There are 3 (three) types of rights, all listed within their respective categories. This includes:

IMMUNITY

Immunity is the permission given to figures within the Foundation that permits them to breach certain regulations of this ZULU | Code of Ethics. The different types are explained within this category.

CLEARANCE

The Clearance Act is the list within this Trello that contains all regulations, permissions, and information regarding the different zones of Site Zulu.

UNIVERSAL LAW

Universal Law is law that applies to everyone. This includes Class-D Personnel.

PERSONNEL LAW

Personnel Law comprises all regulations that directly apply to Personnel ranking at Level-0 or above.

COMBATANT LAW

Combative law encompasses all legislation governing the Mobile Task Forces (MTF) and the Security Department (SD).

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW

Administrative law is established in this list to ensure the Executives of the SCP Foundation don’t abuse the power they receive as a result of their position. It applies to all personnel ranking Level-4 or above.

TESTING LAW

Testing law applies to members of the Scientific Department. It may also apply to personnel within the Medical Department if they are conducting tests. It is set to not only ensure Class-D Personnel are treated fairly and humanely, but also to establish proper universal procedures for Foundation Personnel to abide by.

ARCHIVED ACTS

Archived Legislation is legislation that has been scrapped by the Committee and is being stored publicly to demonstrate transparency, commitment, as well as the Committee’s responsibility for the community.

SESSIONS

Sessions are events hosted by the Ethics Committee to ensure regulations are fairly discussed, justified, and implemented. They are important events hosted bi-weekly by the Board of Ethics that look to evaluate past, present, and future law within the Code of Ethics.

COMMITTEE GUIDANCE

COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

Chairperson - A democratic position of power that is elected by the committee every 3 months to take charge of the Committee and its operations

Committee Assembly - A panel-based board that consists of 3 people. This also consists of the chairperson to make it an assembly of 4 people. Upon a vote, the Chairperson replaces this member, and said member who has won the vote will obtain the Chairperson title.

Inspector - Senior Panel members who help the Committee Assembly run the operations of individual panels. Due to their experience, they are rewarded this prestigious title. These members often handle complex reports that regular members could not handle normally as a result.

Advisor - Experienced members of the Ethics Committee who have recently joined a panel. As such, they are currently learning the ropes of their respective panel. Investigators are promoted to this rank once they have successfully applied for a panel.

Investigator - Trained members of the Committee who have proved they are capable of handling simple duties. Due to this, they are granted access into investigations and can handle cases that require a deeper dive.

Constable - Junior Committee members. They have successfully completed one of the Ethics Committee’s classes and are now enrolled in the department. They are tasked with patrolling on-site and enforcing the Code of Ethics. They are able to file reports; however, they can’t investigate.

Junior Constable - This rank is granted to those who have been successful during the interview process. These members are not qualified Committee members yet and, as such, must job shadow a Constable or higher in order to be on the Ethics Committee team whilst on Site-Zulu.

Committee Relations - The Committee Relations Panel handles reports & responds to/forwards them if need be. They communicate sentences and record Committee performance for Assembly review. The Committee Relations shall also chase any outstanding fines. They are ultimately the voice of the Committee.

Panel of Representation - This panel provides Ethical Consultation to those who desire it. This includes representing people in Committee Court and acting on poor misconduct by Committee members if not spotted by the Assembly. Due to this power, members are unable to represent people they interact with closely (e.g friends). They also require training in the respective legal procedures. The Panel of Representation can also act as prosecutors upon request by the Ethics Committee.

Legislation Panel - The Legislation Panel will come together bi-weekly every Sunday to discuss the Code of Ethics and perform any necessary changes through a democratic vote between the members. Due to this power, they will often act as judges in high-profile cases that require court.

All internal affairs-related misconduct shall be reviewed by the Committee Assembly collectively

All Personnel shall be responsible for enforcement & investigations

O5 → CHAIRPERSON → COMMITTEE ASSEMBLY → INSPECTOR → ADVISOR → INVESTIGATOR → CONSTABLE → JUNIOR CONSTABLE

PANELS

COMMITTEE ASSEMBLY

The Committee Assembly (CA) is a group of 4 individuals, each who head a panel of the Ethics Committee. This group of people gathers bi-monthly to discuss EC-related matters, such as operations, the code of ethics, the Committee’s performance, and any identifiable weaknesses within the department. The Assembly is headed by the Chairperson, who is also elected by Ethics Committee Staff every 3 months. The Committee Assembly is also responsible for the Ethics Committee’s Internal Affairs and investigates corrupt members of the department. Furthermore, the Assembly can launch large-scale investigations into Department Misconduct if deemed necessary. Finally, they are responsible for the judgement of complex, large-scale

COMMITTEE RELATIONS

The Panel of Committee Relations is responsible for the maintenance of Ethics' relationship with the public. They speak with Foundation Personnel regarding Committee matters, and are the first responders to submitted reports. Members of this panel are also able to manage appeals and send punishment notices to those who have infringed this Code of Ethics. The Committee Relations panel also gathers the Committee’s performance data, and produces performance statements monthly.

LEGISLATIVE PANEL

This panel is responsible for the making, maintenance, and interpretation of this Code of Ethics. Within this panel, meetings occur bi-weekly to pass new laws (which are placed in the ‘Processing Acts’ list), as well as debate the existence of current ones if necessary. Democratic votes often take place during these meetings to ensure that no power is abused in the process. Due to their responsibility of making the law, the Legislative Panel is also assigned to Judge positions during Court Cases of lesser importance.

PANEL OF REPRESENTATION

The Panel of Representation is a group of trusted individuals who are authorized to defend and ethically represent those they believe were wrongly convicted of their infractions. As such, they undergo extensive training to ensure the quality of this representation is of a high standard. The Panel of Representation often comes to light in complex cases that require the proving of beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite this, members of this panel may not engage in the representation of clients that they hold an affiliation with, or have otherwise investigated/apprehended. This is to prevent a biased representation.
