Resolution
On October 31st, 2011, the Board of Directors passed a resolution governing the administation of The Wammy House. It was approved by every member and ratified by Watari. Its articles were put into practice with immediate effect.
1, The purpose of the Institution is to educate, train, prepare and support detectives of the calibre of L. The highest achiever will have the right to use the L code; all others will be supported in the development of their own codes.
2, It is acknowledged that the protection of individuals behind these codes requires the loss of some inherent rights, under international and national laws, for both residents of the Institution and its alumni. The articles in this resolution must be adhered to in order that protection for all parties remains extant despite these loss of rights.
3, Wherever universal protection is not compromised, the best interests of the individual child must be paramount. The Institution recognises its responsibility to the welfare, upbringing and development of each child.
4, Each child, without exception, has to understand the nature of the Institution before they are removed from their country of origin. It should be made clear to them that entrance to the Institution means that they will forego a number of international civil rights.
5, A child has the right to refuse to enter the Institution, at which point they will be entrusted to the care of the authorities in their country of origin.
6, All effort must be made to determine the background of the child and if any relatives are still living. Only children who would otherwise be placed under the state guardianship of their nation of origin may be brought into the Institution.
7, The Institution has a duty of care for all its residents until they reach eighteen years of age. They may leave the Institution at sixteen years of age, but only if i) Watari, ii) The Board of Directors and iii) the Child are in agreement. Their place of residence must also be approved. If there is due suspicion that the child\'s welfare is adversely affected during this time, then the Institution reserves the right to reinstate the child within its walls.
8, Each child has a right to life, survival and development, guaranteed by the Instituiton and its Network. No child may be deliberately placed, or allowed to place themselves, in a position where their life may be forfeit. It is recognised that international law states that a child may enter the armed forces aged 15. The children of the Institution may not do so until a) 16 years old, with the approval of the Board of Directors; or b) 18 years old, when adulthood is deemed to have been reached.
9, All children have the right to receive appropriate and thorough provision to address issues arising from experiences previous to entering the institution. This includes, but is not limited to, psychological and physical examination, evaluation, support, review, monitoring and reparation, where appropriate, addressing all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse. A bereavement counsellor will join the permanent members of staff.
10, All children sheltered within the Institution are presumed to be potential successors to the L title. However, each child has the right to make a case for deselection from that process, which will be actioned if agreed by the Board of Directors. The deselected child may remain at the Institution if the Board is in agreement.
11, It is the duty of the Institution to ensure that all children are protected against discrimination and punishment on the basis of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status. Where appropriate, special measures must be enacted to ensure this protection.
i, Some exceptions to this article are deemed essential to the nature of the Insituition:
a) All effort must be made to disguise the country of origin of each child, upon entering the Instituition.
b) English will remain the primary language used throughout the Institution. Every effort must be made to ensure the fluency of the child in the English language before the child is subjected to lessons in that medium. Other languages will continue to be taught as part of the educational curriculum. Cultural mediums, in a variety of languages, will be available within the Institution and their usage encouraged for all children.
12, All records and archived materials relating to each child must be kept in a secure location. At 18 years of age, and thereon, each child has the right to access these items; ask for further information; seek support in i) issues arising; and ii) detection in seeking or verifying further information from external sources.
13, At 18 years of age, the child has the right to reclaim their birth name and nationality. This provision will be negotiated with their country of origin upon the following terms:
i, The child must agree to sign a Secrecy Agreement regarding the Institution, its workings, its location and its system;
ii, Once reclaimed, the child loses the protection of the Watari Network and reclaims their rights under international law, as guaranteed by their country of origin;
iii, Contravening the Secrecy Agreement will incur arrest under the jurisdiction of L and probably imprisonment;
iv, Any country seeking to defend its citizen\'s rights under this provision will be automatically denied assistance by L, in any matter, regardless of its relevance to this case.
14, Each child has the right to be heard and to have freedom of expression. The Board of Directors will collectively hear any case which seeks to contravene any of the provisions of this resolution; and also any appeals for special provision. At each such hearing, the Board must elect one of its members to act as a champion of the child\'s views, with all due care taken to choose someone with specialist knowledge of the issue. This person retains their right to vote on the issue as directed by their own conscience.
15, It is acknowledged that, even with the child\'s consent, illicit transfer and non-return of minors abroad may occur in trafficking the child to the Institution. All queries regarding this issue must be directed to L.
16, The Institution has a duty of care for all of its alumni. The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that all civil and human rights are actioned in-house, if the nature of the Watari Network means that the individual cannot enjoy the full protection of the law of the land wherein they are resident.
i, The Wammy\'s House shall be designated a sanctuary for all alumni. No alumni seeking help may be turned away or detained; all feuds between alumni must be disregarded within this neutral territory. Exception may only be made if the premises and its residents are endangered by said alumni.
ii, The Wammy\'s House should be considered a home in perpetuality for its alumni. It is the duty of Watari to ensure lodging and all necessary assistance extended, as if the alumni was still resident. Exception may be made if the individual wishes to use the facilities of the Institution solely to attack another member of the alumni.
17, Children who have demonstrated to the Board their understanding of the issues, concerning non-disclosure of information concerning a) the Institution and b) themselves, may claim their right of unrestricted and unescorted access to the outside world. This includes the right of association, assembly and the right to correspondance.
18, All children have the right to protection against attacks on their honour and reputation.
19, It is recognised that the children at the Institution have lost the right to be adopted. Therefore the over-riding ethos of the Institution should be a family environment. For this purpose, two members of staff, one male and one female, will be employed with the sole purpose of providing emotional support and acting as parental role models.
20, It is the responsibility of all parties to provide special provision for any child, without exception, who is identified as mentally, physically or emotionally disabled to ensure dignity, promote self-reliance and facilitate the child\'s active participation in the community. This includes, but is not limited to, healthcare, extra tuition, support or equipment, if a disability or special needs require it, and measures taken to raise awareness amongst the child\'s peers.
21, The Institution has a duty of healthcare, in all its forms, for all of its residents and alumni. The Board of Directors has a responsibility to monitor that the standard of provision is world-class. L must ensure that healthcare is available, without encumbrance nor adverse consequence, in any nation, acting as and when the need arises that an alumni cannot safely reach the Institution.
22, All children must be subject to periodic reviews of their mental, emotional and physical well-being. The institution\'s doctor, psychologist, warden and parental mentor must individually meet with each child and prepare reports. The reports must be reviewed by the Board of Directors and all recommendations actioned.
23, The Institution must hold in trust all money, property and material belongings of its incoming children. These articles will be returned to the control of the child at 18 years of age. It is the responsibility of the Institution to maintain the same in such a way that it is worth as much upon transference to the individual as it was upon being taken into trust. The individual has the right to ask for and receive all due assistance in managing their own affairs thereon.
24, The Board of Directors will oversee a banking system, accessible world-wide, for the sole use of its alumni and residents. All due regard to privacy must be maintained.
25, Education of all children must remain at the highest possible level, designed to actualise the fullest potential of each child\'s capabilities; the development of personality, talents and mental and physical abilities; the development of a spirit of understanding, peace, tolerance, equality of sexes, and friendship among all peoples, ethnic, national and religious groups and persons of indigenous origin; respect for the natural environment; and a full understanding of the nature, ethics and reality of all tenets of justice.
i, identified strengths must be encouraged with personalised tuition and equipment. Exception may be made if the request for equipment involves unusual, potentially fatal or otherwise damaging items. All such requests must be referred to the Board of Directors for approval.
ii, children may be allowed to opt out of lessons only with the approval of the Board of Directors.
iii, children will be monitored for signs of overwhelming stress or distress caused by their workload. It is the Institution\'s responsibility to review each case and, if appropriate, take measures to ensure the well-being of the child.
iv, children may not work on academic or scholarly pursuits for more than nine hours a day; work produced outside this time period will be deemed inadmissable.
26 , Monthly rankings will not be published, no child should be allowed to believe his/herself to be lesser than his/her peers. The purpose of the House will be known and encouraged, but succession to the L code will only be revealed as it becomes necessary for another person to take on the role. Until that time, the heir will be known only to L and will be named by electronic methods after his/her incapacity.
27, All children have the right to profess and practise his or her own religion. It is the responsibility of the Institution to create provision for the means of spiritual well-being, without discrimination or evangelism, including access to spiritual leader. Exceptions may be made if such provision is contrary to the protection of the Institution or its residents.
28, All parties recognise the right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts; and will respect and promote the right of the child to participate fully in cultural and artistic life and shall encourage the provision of appropriate and equal opportunities for cultural, artistic, recreational and leisure activity.
29, The use of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances will not be sanctioned within the Institution, even for research purposes. Prescription drugs will be administered by the Infirmary and their usage strictly monitored.
30, The Institution has a duty to protect all children from all forms of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse.
31, It is acknowledged that the activitie of children in Deduction classes, or similar, may result in revenue being raised for the Institution. Commission percentages to the House and fees payable to the child must reflect the same rates applied to cases solved by alumni. The majority of the fees paid to the children will be kept in trust until they reach 18 years of age.
32, The Watari Network must ensure that no shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
i, Should circumstances render imprisonment necessary, then L should have responsibility to ensure that:
a) Any alumni incarcerated in state penal institutions be removed and housed in Watari cells;
b) No person under the age of 18 should be imprisoned, unless as a last resort and then only for the shortest possible period of time;
c) None shall be imprisoned without possibility of release and should be deemed innocent until proven guilty;
d) Every person deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and respect for the inherent dignity of the human person, and in a manner which takes into account the needs of persons of his or her age. In particular, every child deprived of liberty shall be separated from adults unless it is considered in the child\'s best interest not to do so and shall have the right to maintain contact with his or her peers through correspondence and visits, save in exceptional circumstances;
e) Every person deprived of liberty should have the right to prompt access to legal and other appropriate assistance, as well as the right to challenge the legality of the deprivation of his or her liberty before the Board of Directors, excepting those members unable to form an independent and impartial authority, and to a prompt decision on any such action;
f) Rehabilitation and education should be paramount for those incarcerated in L\'s cells.
