Article 15 explained in plain English
This article gives the Emir of the Region the power to issue the decisions needed to implement the provisions of this Regulation.
This is consistent with the central role of the Emir of the Region throughout the Regulation, since he:
- Forms the committee by his decision, and it is attached to him (Article 1).
- Appoints the committee secretary by his decision (Article 6).
- Issues the decision establishing branch committees in the governorates, and assigns other tasks to the committee (Article 5).
- Directs or permits the seeking of reconciliation (Article 7).
- Approves the financial allocation, determines the rewards and approves spending (Article 12).
- Receives the annual report (Article 13).
The implementing decisions the Emir issues are to implement the provisions of the Regulation; that is, they add detail to it and do not go outside it. The article does not state the content of these decisions, so one must refer to what is issued in each region.
Anyone who needs to know the decisions in force in his region may contact the Emirate or consult a lawyer specializing in criminal cases.
