§3266 Regulations

Summary

The Defense Secretary must, after talking with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, create rules for how people covered by this chapter are caught, held, handed over, and removed, and how to help carry out the proceedings under section 3265. Those rules must be the same across the whole Department of Defense. The Defense Secretary must also, as much as possible and after the same consultations, require notice be given to people who work for or accompany U.S. forces overseas and who are not U.S. nationals that they may be subject to U.S. criminal law under this chapter. Not getting that notice does not stop U.S. courts from having authority or give a defense in cases under this chapter. Any new rules or changes cannot take effect until 90 days after the Secretary sends a report with them to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
