Ukase
In Imperial Russia, a ukase () or ukaz (Russian: указ [ʊˈkas]) was a proclamation of the tsar, government, or a religious leader (patriarch) that had the force of law. "Edict" and "decree" are adequate translations using the terminology and concepts of Roman law.
From the Russian term, the word ukase has entered the English language with the meaning of "any proclamation or decree; an order or regulation of a final or arbitrary nature".
Examples of use of ukase
1. But the president is right in framing his new policy as a ukase to Iraq‘s government: We are buying you time, and not much of it, for you to dash to competence concerning security matters.
2. Bush‘s ukase applies to all traffickers in Iraqi oil –– as long as their loot finds its way, by hook or crook, into the coffers of "United States persons or entities." Bush declares flatly that any "judicial process" launched against these protected entities –– not excluding criminal proceedings for, say, fraud, corruption, extortion, even murder –– "shall be deemed null and void." But what if some rogue nation still clinging to the outmoded principle of law and order tries to take Bush‘s cronies to court?
