The legal basis on which the librarians take arms is the Statute concerning Libraries as amended by the Statement. In reality, the latter is not a law enacted by the Parliament but JLA's self-binding document.

The counterpart, MIB has also the footing legislation, the model of which is taken from wartime censorship directives.

The interesting point in this series is that each party takes (or tries to take) only "legitimate" measures in performing its tasks. Sometimes some kids in either side commit ultra vires actions, but generally they function as lawful public agents.

I am interested in the background of Media Improvement Committee/Brigade. The original novel is described only from the perspective of librarians.
