National Response and Local Responsibility
Category: Tsm’syen Law
Page status: Core Principle

'''Law'''
National response does not erase house or clan responsibility.

'''Explanation'''
National action may be required where harm is widespread or shared.
Such response coordinates protection and restoration but does not replace local obligations.
Houses and clans remain responsible for their members, areas, and conduct.

'''Standard'''
National involvement supplements, not substitutes, house or clan responsibility.
Local accountability continues alongside broader response.
No level of response removes responsibility from those closest to the harm.

'''Effect'''
Layered responsibility preserves order and continuity.
Avoidance through escalation of authority is prevented.
Law remains grounded in relationship at every level.
