2. An ambassador, acting as a representative of ROMUN, is expected to act in a manner consistent with the values of ROMUN, as enumerated elsewhere. If an ambassador does not act consistently with these values, and is acting as a representative or ROMUN at the time of the violation, the Executive Council reserves the right to dismiss the ambassador, or impose any other appropriate action it deems fit.
