Officially command (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decree

(Other definitions for decree that I've seen before include "Legally binding command or decision" , "Official order that has the force of law" , "An official order or judgement" , "Issue an edict" , "Legally-binding edict" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
