The following is a proposed amendment to Article VI of the Charter:
Quote:7. The Minister of Foreign Affairs holds the sole power to initiate treaty negotiations with other regions, groups, and organizations, but may designate officers to handle those negotiations. Upon completion of a treaty negotiation, the Minister must present it to the full executive for majority approval, before submitting it to the Assembly for ratification.

8. Should a treaty be dissolved by either party, the Minister of Foreign Affairs shall put the matter up for five days of mandated discussion in the Assembly, after which the treaty shall be dissolved

9. The Minister of Foreign Affairs will be responsible for establishing standards for the creation and maintenance of consulates and embassies.
As this is an amendment to the Charter it will require a 3/5ths majority to be considered passed and must also satisfy the conditions laid out in IV.7 of the Charter.

This piece of legislation will be at vote for 5 days so the vote will end on October 4th at 2135 CDT. A countdown is available here.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

For reasons explained elsewhere, I'm casting the block vote for Nay.
