| In the Belgian Senate, for example, a penalised member may appeal to the Bureau of the Senate.281 In India, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha may name a member, but any subsequent temporary expulsion requires the consent of the assembly, which may terminate the procedure at any time.282 In the United States of America, the Speaker may penalise a member who has made offensive remarks and refuses to withdraw them, but the member may appeal and the assembly takes the final decision. Another interesting feature of sanction procedures in the United States is the fact that authority to initiate sanctions is not vested in the Speaker alone. Any member can set in motion a disciplinary procedure against a colleague and even call to order a member whose conduct is unseemly.283 This right exists in some other countries too. In Romania, for example, serious or repeated violations liable to entail suspension are submitted to the Legal Committee.284 The referring source may be a parliamentary group or an individual senator or deputy. The Legal Committee reports to the Bureau, which rules on the matter. The situation is similar in Slovakia, where the Mandates and Immunities Committee may take up a case itself or have the matter referred to it by an individual member who feels insulted by a colleague’s remarks.285
In very rare cases, all disciplinary sanctions are taken by the assembly on the proposal of the President (e.g. in Chad). As a rule, however, only severe sanctions (such as temporary expulsion) are imposed by the assembly and a special majority [is sometimes required.] [272 See, Marc Van der Hulst, The Parliamentary Mandate, Geneva: Inter-Parliamentary Union, 2000.] 281 Id. 282 Id. 283 Id. 284 Id. 285 Id. |
