Spanish term

consigna legal

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Context: Por supuesto, sistemas políticos en los que haya una determinación arbitraria y particularizada de estos escenarios de máxima alerta y restricción de derechos, unida a una fuerte presencia militar están en las antípodas de albergar unas CMR democráticas. En definitiva, la regulación de los Legal States of Exception, como componente de la dimensión Legal framework de las CMR, tendrá el mínimo desarrollo si no existe *consigna legal* y se deja la concreción de esos escenarios al libre albedrío gubernamental.

It is an excerpt from a book on civil-military relations (CMR). The author is Spanish, and the dialect is Standard Castilian.

legal ruling (on the matter)

I.e. if there is no previously set procedure or legal stipulation about the scenarios in question. I think you can phrase this notion in many ways.

"Typically, the imposition of martial law accompanies curfews, the suspension of civil law, civil rights, habeas corpus, and the application or extension of military law or military justice to civilians."
