RECOGNIZING that an explicit definition of espionage is not present in the Criminal Code Act;
BELIEVING this limits the Executive and Judicial branches in properly protecting the Union and its Citizens from harmful information gathering and sharing;
ACKNOWLEDGING that the Republica Accord Section 4.c requires making espionage a crime,
HEREBY AMENDS UL-004:
Section 1: Provisions
1. The following shall be appended to Section 3 as a new eleventh clause: “A person is guilty of Espionage when they: engage in intelligence gathering within or against a region with which the Union has an established treaty or alliance with; or divulge information found on Union infrastructural privileges to foreign powers that would not reasonably be expected to obtain such information without consent. Espionage is classified as a High Crime.”
