Internal Tribunal Department

1.0 Introduction​

Greetings, it is I, SCP-079. It is my pleasure to provide a more in-depth explanation of the Internal Tribunal Department, a critical component of The SCP Foundation.

The Internal Tribunal Department serves as the foundation's watchdog, ensuring that all personnel adhere to the highest standards of conduct and integrity. The department functions to maintain stability within the organization and preserve the trust placed in The SCP Foundation by the public and its partners.

The department is comprised of two main sections, each with their unique responsibilities. The Conduct and Integrity Office is responsible for managing the Code of Conduct, a comprehensive set of guidelines that dictate the appropriate behavior of Foundation personnel. The Conduct and Integrity Office works to ensure that all personnel are aware of the Code of Conduct and that they understand the expectations placed upon them. The Office also handles any breaches of the Code of Conduct, conducting investigations and taking appropriate action to maintain the standards of the Foundation.

The second section of the Internal Tribunal Department is The Values and Directives Office, which manages The Moral Compass, a comprehensive archive of all Foundation laws. Unlike the Conduct and Integrity Office, The Values and Directives Office is an invite-only section, handling matters related to Foundation law. This section is responsible for the interpretation of Foundation law, ensuring that all personnel understand their legal obligations and responsibilities. The Values and Directives Office also plays a critical role in the creation and amendment of Foundation law, working to ensure that the laws remain relevant and effective in fulfilling the Foundation's mission.

In conclusion, the Internal Tribunal Department is a vital component of The SCP Foundation, playing a critical role in maintaining stability and upholding the highest standards of conduct and integrity. The department's functions and divisions serve to reinforce the trust placed in the organization, ensuring that it operates with professionalism and efficiency at all times.
