Known Statutes

Text Cut: International Statute of Secrecy

Created in 1692
States: Each individual Ministry of Magic is responsible for hiding the presence of the magical community in their own country. The Statute also establishes laws regarding modes of dress, requiring them to adopt Muggle standards of clothing in the presence of Muggles.

Paragraph A: Each Ministry is held responsible for the control of magical beasts, curbing public displays of underage magic, and ensuring that magical games and sports are played without risk of discovery.
Paragraph B: Each Ministry is held responsible for the curbing public displays of underage magic, and ensuring that magical games and sports are played without risk of discovery.
Paragraph C: Each Ministry is held responsible for ensuring that magical games and sports are played without risk of discovery.
Paragraph D: Circumstances explained in the sections below are in place for those Muggles who are aware of wizarding community.
Paragraph E: Clothing is forbidden to be self-altering or -adjusting in such cases. In spite of this, clothing infractions have been the most common breaches of the Statute of Secrecy since its inception.

Section 1: Sanctioning a Muggle
This statute allows for certain Muggles to be aware of the wizarding world
Clause 1: Immediate family members (or guardians) of a witch or wizard, whether that wizard was born to Muggles, or married into a Muggle family.
Clause 2: Muggle heads of state, such as the President or Prime Minister
Clause 3: None of these situations guarantee that a Muggle will be sanctioned. The Muggle Liaison Office is the body primarily responsible for vetting Muggles for sanctioned status.
Section 2: Vetting a Muggle
When a Muggle Liaison is assigned to vet a Muggle, they begin a thorough investigation into that Muggle's life. It primarily includes background checks and discreet observation. The ministry will approve an investigation into the records of Muggle authorities (typically handled via Squibs working in Muggle institutions). Usually this takes about a month, but can vary depending upon the availability of the Liaison, the Muggle, and access to research information. If all goes well, the liaison will approach the Muggle and inform him of the wizarding community. The Obliviators are always informed when this meeting is to happen, so that if it goes badly, they can step in and wipe the memories.

Reasons a Sanction may not be approved:
Criminal history/behaviour (particularly for more severe crimes)

Dependency on drugs or alcohol

Ties to Muggle government

Hostile personality

A tendency to gossip

An inability to lie

Section 3: Injured Muggles
If a Muggle is injured in some way by magical means, they may be placed in St. Mungo's under a Healer's care until the healer feels they are ready to be discharged. When they are discharged, their memories must be erased.
