| The United Front: Charter Discussion |
|
Now, we need to discuss where the HQ for the organization as a whole will be. It may be located in Stockholm, the capital of Qvait, which has plenty of security.
I think that it should not be in the capital city, to give another city the opportunity to become more involved in international affairs.

Perhaps Sydney, it is the second-largest city of Qvait, and is alongside the ocean.
That sounds reasonable, as long as you can ensure security there.

Definitely. The Pacific Republic of Qvait is one of the most secure nations in the world.
Excellent.

"a small fee of 1% of every nation's GDP will be charged yearly"
Sounds to me like we're compounding annually.

I present the Charter of the United Front, which has combined Ryccia's proposal with mine and Darkstrait's revisions. If there are any concerns about this version of the proposed Charter, speak up now.
United Front Charter
We, the nations of the United Front hereby establish this charter for our organization: Article 1: Objectives Section 1.1: Economic Objectives 1. The United Front will seek to trade between themselves. 2. No sanctions must be in place between the members, unless its for a valid reason. 3. Valid reasons for placing sanctions against a fellow member or members may incluse, but are not limited to:
Section 1.2: Military Objectives 1. The United Front seeks to defend itself in case of outside attacks. 2. The United Front will never attack other nations in the alliance, and only outside when necessary. 3. It is forbidden to attack another nation in the alliance. If a member nation attacks another, the United Front will defend the attacked nation. Exceptions may include attempting a change of regime in a member nation. 4. A principle of the United Front is peace. Article 2: Membership Section 2.1: Application and Acceptance 1. A nation that is interested to join the United Front has to express its interest on joining the organization and the nation must've thoroughly read and ratified the United Front's Charter. 2. After applying, a discussion will commence between member nations on whether to admit new nations. 3. Any member can put the application to vote after a minimum one-day discussion. 4. A vote of accession must obtain a majority vote to pass. 5. Such a vote of accession shall last for two days. 6. If there is no majority at the expiry time, then the Parties shall decide whether or not to vote again. Section 2.2: Membership Suspension and Removal 1. A suspension or expulsion proposal may be presented by any member nation. 2. The member nation must present a valid reason as to why they have presented the proposal. 3. Legitimate reasons for the expulsion or suspension of a nation are as follows, in order from least serious to most serious:
5. Such a vote of suspension or expulsion shall last for five days. 6. If there is no majority at the expiry time, then the member facing suspension or expulsion shall not be punished. 7. Any member nation may again propose to suspend or expel a member nation twice. 8. If, in the third vote, there is no majority, then the member facing suspension or expulsion cannot be tried again for the same reason. Article 3: Services of the United Front Section 3.1: Economical Aid Programme 1. Any nation, member or non-member, can request economic aid from the United Front. However, this is only a loan that must be paid back in a maximum time of three years with an annual interest rate of 5%. 2. If a nation that took a loan fails to pay back, the United Front negotiators will negotiate the loan payment. 3. The United Front Bank will be located in Ryccia. Section 3.2: Humanitarian Aid Programme 1. Any nation, member or non-member, can request humanitarian aid from the United Front, or the United Front may choose to give aid to a troubled nation by a member's proposal. 2. Unlike the economic aid programme, there is no debt to be paid, but the United Front will survey that the aid gets to the right sources with humanitarian aid representatives and/or administrators. 3. Failure to distribute the aid fairly because of the nation's corruption will result on the withdrawl of humanitarian aid. 4.

Article 4: Conduct Section 4.1: Economic Conduct 1. No member nation can impose sanctions on another member nation. 2. No member nation can deny trade with another member nation. 3. No member nation can intentionally harm another member nation's economy in any way. Article 5: Military Commitments Section 1 The Parties undertake to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force. Section 2 The Parties will contribute toward the further development of peaceful and friendly international relations by strengthening their free institutions, by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and well-being. They will seek to eliminate conflict in their international economic policies and will encourage economic collaboration between any or all of them. Section 3 In order more effectively to achieve the objectives of this Charter, the Parties, separately and jointly, by means of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid, will maintain and develop their individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack. Section 4 The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened. Section 5 The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the South Pacific area. Section 6 For the purpose of Section 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
Each Party declares that none of the international engagements now in force between it and any other of the Parties or any third State is in conflict with the provisions of this Charter, and undertakes not to enter into any international engagement in conflict with this Charter. Section 8 The Parties hereby establish a Council, on which each of them shall be represented, to consider matters concerning the implementation of this Charter. The Council shall be so organized as to be able to meet promptly at any time. The Council shall set up such subsidiary bodies as may be necessary; in particular it shall establish immediately a defense committee which shall recommend measures for the implementation of Sections 3 and 5. Article 6: Headquarters The Headquarters of the United Front shall be located in Sydney, Qvait. Article 7: Revising and Withdrawal from the Charter Section 1 After the Charter has been in force for two months, or at any time thereafter, the Parties shall, if any of them so requests, consult together for the purpose of reviewing the Charter, having regard for the factors then affecting peace and security in the South Pacific area, including the development of universal as well as regional arrangements for the maintenance of international peace and security. Section 2 After the Charter has been in force for two months, any Party may cease to be a Party one month after its notice of denunciation has been given to the member Governments of the Charter. Article 8: Ratification This Charter shall be ratified and its provisions carried out by the Parties in accordance with their respective constitutional processes. The instruments of ratification shall be deposited as soon as possible with the member Governments of this Charter.
