The Sekidean Council has the number equal to the members of the Sekidean Union, and representants were elected by the respective legislatures of the member states, while the Sekidean Commission was formed by the heads of government of the respective countries. The [[Sekidean Tribunal|Sekidean Tribunal of Regions and Autonomies]] was an advisory body, that represented the interests of subnational units and autonomous regions of the member states.

It is created to represent the state legislatures and the regions and autonomies of the members of the Inner Sekidean Union.

History

The Sekidean Tribune of Regions and Autonomies was an advisory body, that represented the interests of subnational units and autonomous regions of the member states. The first two of those three organs directly participated in the legislative process, with the Sekidean Commission proposing the laws, passing it down to the Sekidean Parliament, after which the Sekidean Council served as a sort of an upper house, that approved the laws passed by the two.

This laws became overly bureaucratic and in 2010, the decision was made to discontinue the system and combine the functions of the Sekidean Commission and the Sekidean Council into a single chamber and allow the Sekidean Assembly to propose its own legislature, which is then passed to the new unified body.

Although not specified by law or any regulation, it is generally assumed, that most of those seats would be reserved for people representing autonomies and other semi-autonomous regions, whose interests can not be sufficiently represented by the national delegates.

Appointment to the Council

Representants from each country are either replaced or reelected after a new government cabinet is formed, usually after a legislative election to a lower house of a national parliament. State legislature can replace a representant from the Sekidean Council by a simple majority, if at least two of the following conditions have been met:

  • The deputy is openly standing in opposition to the government of the country that nominated him
  • The deputy has violated a law set by the home country
  • The deputy has served for more than 5 years
