  Article 46- Disciplinary action to Members  
46.1 Disciplinary action to Members  
  Members to the Society shall be subject at all times to the articles of this Charter and all approved and valid laws of the Society.  
  Where an Member has been found guilty of one or more breaches of these laws, that member and their immediate Sponsor shall be subject to disciplinary action ranging from loss of certain privileges through to interdict.  
  The operation of the laws of the Society in relation to member discipline shall always operate on the principles of the presumption of innocence, the right to fair justice, rules of evidence and the conditional right of appeal.  
46.2 Disciplinary action of state members  
  Where a member state is found to be in direct breach of an article of this Charter and upon written notification has failed to indicate either a willingness to comply, or has failed to make necessary steps to comply within 120 days, it shall be a requirement of the Board of Governors to pass such legislation that disciplines the member state as way of punishment for the non compliance.  
  In the framing of such punitive actions, the Board of Governors must make every effort to see that diplomatic representations are exhausted first before any economic action is considered.  
  Action to expel a member from the Bank is expressly forbidden under this Charter and any such legal act or motion shall be immediately deemed null and void, even if such action has the vote and support of other members.
