+# Nauru: drug-control history, mandatory remand and custody — 23 October 2026
+
+Adds five events (2008 medicinal import licensing, 2021 testing rules, 2022 drug-charge bail exclusion, June 2024 cannabis sentence and December 2024 sentencing changes), revises three older entries, and writes two 449-word articles. Thirteen profile blocks now use inline citations. The existing driving section is preserved verbatim. The Nauru fact card is updated to remove an unsupported Pacific-wide superlative and reflect the actual December 2024 law.

+Files and exact source objects are retained in `tmp/history-nauru-gap-2026-10-23/`, including original PDFs, full text extractions, the batch and verified event objects. RONLAW is the government law database. Its current homepage is a JavaScript application; its public search API and catalogue supplied the actual document paths. Paths returning a small HTML application shell were not treated as recovered laws.

+- **Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004, Service 6**, generated 16 October 2026, includes amendments through 12 May 2026 (`current.pdf/.txt`). The table and section 1 explicitly establish **6 September 2004** commencement, replacing the previous year-only date. Sections 3–7, 13–14, 39, 48 and 50, Schedule 1 and the appended testing regulations and officer appointment were read. Cannabis, resin, oil, plants, fruit, seeds and THC are scheduled; supply expressly includes giving; cultivation includes sowing and scattering seeds. The separate 2026 amendment renames institutions and does not undo the 2024 sentencing rules.
+- **Older official Trade Portal consolidation**, incorporating the 2008 amendment (`old2011.pdf/.txt`), supplies the prior section 6 offence and section 48 licensing text. Its running header says in force from 3 November 2011, its preface mentions a later publication stage, and its table marks original 2004 commencement unknown. The current authoritative consolidation resolves that date. The old and current amendment tables consistently attribute sections 13 and 48 to the amendment operative **26 November 2008**. The original 2008 instrument was not retrieved: the current table expressly says its changes were incorporated without validation against the original. The new 2008 event is limited to those positively attributed clauses, also present in the older consolidation; no unrelated consolidated provision is backdated.
+- **Drug Testing Kit Regulations 2021**, appended to Service 6, are recorded as notified and commenced **27 August 2021**. Regulations 4–7 prescribe officer qualification/appointment, test kits, certificates and cannabis colour changes; regulations 9–10 preserve proceedings under and repeal the 2016 analysis regulations. The standalone **2024 testing amendment**, SL 10/2024, was also retrieved and read: it only adds the TruNarc analyser to Schedule 2. It does not alter the 2021 certificate standard or cannabis identification wording. The later 2026 changes are institutional naming. The new event does not claim these were Nauru’s first tests or that a colour test is scientifically conclusive.
+- **Bail (Amendment) Act (No. 2) 2022**, certified **8 October 2022**, was retrieved and read in full (`bail-2022.pdf/.txt`). Section 4 adds offences under the drug-control Act to section 4A(a), whose wording also excludes bail on appeal from conviction. The current **Bail Act 2018, Service 6**, generated 2 September 2026, retains that drug-charge exclusion after the **20 August 2026** amendment. The exceptional-circumstances route in section 4B concerns a separate group and is not represented as a general cannabis exception. The 2025 deletion of section 4B’s old sunset clause was checked but is not added as a cannabis reform. Bail is custody before trial/appeal, separate from a prison sentence after conviction.
+- **Republic v Randy Doguape and others**, District Court Criminal Case 13/2024, sentence **3 June 2024**, is an eighteen-page scanned judgment on the Justice Department site (`case2024.pdf`). All pages were rendered and OCRed locally using macOS Vision (`case-ocr.txt`); relevant facts, sentencing reasoning and orders were read, with pages 6 and 15 visually checked against the image. The defendants pleaded guilty in a one-gram case; two were prosecuted for aiding/abetting the principal possession. Each adult received A$1,500, community service (four/three months), a later one-year probation period and a recorded conviction. The juvenile received A$200 and one month’s service, without a recorded conviction; release depended on a parental bond. The adults’ six-month imprisonment terms were conditional on failure to pay, not the immediate sentence. All had spent time on remand. The judgment describes the earlier A$500–1,000 fine/no-record range and increasing sentences; it does not establish current post-amendment practice. PacLII copies returned 403, so the actual government-hosted judgment replaces the old profile link. The juvenile is not named in the public text.
+- **Illicit Drugs Control (Amendment) Act 2024**, No. 24/2024, certified and commenced **23 December 2024**, was read in full (`amend2024.pdf/.txt`). Section 6 now requires twelve months to three years in custody. Section 6A separately covers acquisition, growing, supply, use and administration, with liability to life imprisonment and at least ten years before parole or probation; imports, exports and transit have the same wording. This is not called mandatory life for every defendant. Section 50 excludes Crimes Act 277(b)–(e) alternative sentences, and the definition makes imprisonment custodial. The government’s **10 January 2025 Bulletin**, pp. 9–10, was read for its stated deterrence rationale and intention to replace fines/suspended sentences with custody. Derived Bulletin text is below 200 words across event and article; enacted statutes and court decisions provide the substantive penalties.
+
+## Present profile and medical exceptions
+
+The former profile correctly mentioned the new twelve-month possession minimum but supplied no dated event and understated the separate use offence by saying use was covered by possession. It also claimed the harshest Pacific regime without a comparative source, treated cannabis as a statutory Class B drug despite no such class in the recovered Act, and described current sentencing through earlier court practice. Those claims are replaced with the enacted distinctions.
+
+Sections 13–14 retain general prescribed-drug possession conditions. Section 48 allows annual Cabinet licences for medicinal imports, with records and authorisation. These are described precisely; no operating cannabis dispensary or patient programme is inferred. `medical: none` and the access score remain unchanged pending programme evidence. The new 2008 entry is `other`, not a newly created medical-cannabis programme: the older 1952 ordinance already licensed medicinal imports of Indian-hemp preparations. The 2024 text changes a traveller’s failure-to-declare penalty to up to five years or A$20,000–50,000. It is not described as a cannabis import entitlement independent of lawful prescription and medical-purpose conditions. Section 14’s professional exemption still cross-refers to sections 6 and 7, not new section 6A; it is not silently expanded into a blanket exemption from every new offence.
+
+## Scores and historical limits
+
+The current six scores are now **all zero (overall 0, previously 3)**. Possession and cultivation already stood at zero. Enforcement moves to zero because use itself now carries at least ten years before parole/probation, meeting the segment’s long-sentence level; consumption moves from 1 to 0 because use is expressly within that severe offence. Supply/gifting already stood at zero. This is a statutory assessment; post-December cannabis sentencing practice has not been independently established.
+
+The historical before vectors are reconstructed from the actual judgment and bail law:
+
+| Period/event | Possession | Cultivation | Enforcement | Sharing | Consumption | Access | Exact score |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Before October 2022 remand restriction | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 7.5 |
+| After October 2022 / before December 2024 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 5.5 |
+| After December 2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+
+The earlier fine range supports possession 1 and enforcement 2 before mandatory drug-charge remand; the 2022 loss of bail lowers enforcement one point despite fine-based final sentences. The new possession minimum and long custodial use penalty account for the remaining December decrease. Cannabis growing/gifting remained offences; no numeric change is invented for them.
+
+The **1952 ordinance**, communicated by Australia to the UN (`ordinance1952.pdf/.txt`), was read for hemp definitions, import licensing, manufacturing/export prohibitions, record keeping and import-related offences. It replaces a named 1922 ordinance that does not list hemp in its title. This establishes a 1952 cannabis-products restriction, not the first ever cannabis rule. The estimated initial entry retains FREE before, narrows its uncertainty window to **1925–1952**, and replaces the generic Wikipedia convention citation with the recovered ordinance. The implied pre-2022 level is still an approximate reconstructed baseline; the first general prohibition, other pre-2004 controls and practice remain open. The 2004 replacement event is `other` because earlier full coverage is not recovered sufficiently to determine a net whole-country change; no nationwide legalisation or first ban is inferred from the limited 1952 import text.
+
+## Verification
+
+The batch verifier checks all eight changed history objects, categories, tags, source use, citation punctuation, links, article lengths/headings and profile citations. Both scored events are explicitly checked; the country chain has no direction warnings. The complete production build and rendered citation/API/export checks are run before committing, and generated build output is then deleted. Commit construction isolates these eight history IDs, the Nauru profile, two articles, this memo and the single Nauru fact-card line from unrelated work.
+
+Verification completed: both articles have 449 words and four headings; all eight changed entries have valid categories, tags and inline sources, and thirteen revised profile blocks have valid keyed citations. The production build passed with 3,897 pages. Rendered checks validated 64 citation links, tag/internal links, clean API and history exports, the 8 → 6 → 0 rounded event transitions, and the exact 7.5 → 5.5 → 0 API trajectory. The country chain reported zero warnings, and `git diff --check` passed. The generated `tmp/history-nauru-gap-2026-10-23/site/` directory was deleted after verification.
