WFR 19 - Reforming the International Anti-Criminal Organisation (IACO) - Amending WFR8

Section A — Purpose

  1. In the light of the investigations following recent terrorist attacks in Nicholas and Great Britain (N&GB) and the attack by British forces into Romordia, the World Forum recognises the problem of possible malicious usage of the investigations to promote a certain goal.

  2. The International Anti-Criminal Organisation (from hereon, IACO) has great relevance in the prosecution of crimes. However, its powers are heavily restricted to only pursuing arrests. The development of crimes, however, has shown that often a neutral and independent investigation is not given. This resolution aims to provide the World Forum with an opportunity to conduct such an investigation by reforming the IACO into a capable organisation.

To maintain greater security and order, we hereby establish the International Anti-Criminal Organisation.
To ensure fair and impartial investigations and clarity in highly turbulent cases, the World Forum hereby established the International Anti-Criminal Organisation.

  • Outgoing state — State that holds the subject or subjects of the World Arrest Warrant
