It states the reason why. Well, he didn't commit the most heinous crime (compared to organizing civil unrest, for example), so he will serve some time and then can film whatever he wants afterward.

#9 Resolution on non-interference in the affairs of other countries.
Annuls resolution #7, amends resolution #8 (international police are only authorized to act with the consent of the country where the investigation will take place).
Members of the Security Council undertake not to interfere in the internal politics of member states, whether through military intervention, political or economic pressure. Exceptions may be:
- A request from the current (de facto) representatives of power to restore order in the country.
- Countries that lack a government as such during unrest or for any other reason, provided that the resulting situation poses an international threat.
- Countries that refuse to comply with resolutions adopted by the Security Council (in this case, we are talking exclusively about various kinds of sanctions, but not military intervention)

the resolution on non-interference in the affairs of other countries implies just such an amendment to the resolution on international police. Mandatory (compulsory) method is rejected, but voluntary cooperation is supported.

#10 Resolution on free membership in the Security Council

The Armed Republic of Qasardastan

Um... well, I'm against it. Actually, I would vote against it based on the gameplay, but we need to give the guys a chance to participate.

Vote based on gameplay; Ment deserves it. I'm ready to accept any decision, and Alex doesn't care anyway.

After years of costly military build-up, the military now has a state of readiness capable of responding to all threats, both foreign and domestic. There is extensive debate among government officials, the military, and the average citizen over what, if anything, should be done with this powerful asset.

The Debate

1."No one even thinks to look at us funny now," says Field Marshall Lionel Mandrake as he taps a swagger stick against his hip. "So think about how they'd act when the military is in proper charge of the country? We'd say jump, and they'd jump, by jingo. Oh, and if you don't agree with me, consider this a coup."
2."There's no point in having a military this size when our closest adversary has a water pistol strapped to a scooter and calls it an armoured brigade," says noted economist Abraham Smith. "Besides, the military's been getting uppity with all its funding anyway. Slash its budget, sell off its surplus, and put the money into tax relief and... of course... maintaining all those contractors. Sure, they won't make tanks anymore but they can sure make plenty of commemorative plates with all that money!"
3."The military is too powerful!" cries famous peacenik Elvis Gandhi, smelling of petrol and holding a Zippo in one hand. "All those tanks and bombs threaten us and the environment - we're number one, and someone's gonna try and take us down because of it! The people are tired of eating grass soup so the army can get another stealth ICBM launching flamethrower tank. Cut military funding and rebuild our schools, hospitals, welfare, and environment... or else!" Upon which he flips open the lid of the lighter threateningly.
4."Everyone's got it all wrong," says Hillary Licorish, leader of the Qasardastan Libertarian Party. "We need the military now to support our economy but we can't let it get out of control. I say we privatise it and divvy it up between several corporations, and make it self-funding... it sounds radical but taxes will drop, the people will be happy, and we get to keep our military strength to show Johnny Foreigner what's what! Everyone wins! As long it's in the corporations' best interests to protect the country though, I suppose..."

You can also give military units to corporations there. There aren't any sensible options, so I'm choosing between the first and fourth, but I'm worried about the effects of such radical decisions.
