the Empire strongly requests that section C. (Location) Alternative 2 be stricken from the draft and request that the courts location be held in Karnetvor as we all agreed on previous negotiations.

We propose either changing Section B-1 a) to the following:

Quote:a) have the authority to adjudicate disputes and administer justice in accordance to the International Laws as defined in the Grovne Conventions, which are voluntarily submitted by nations, regions in nations, international organisations, non-governmental organisations, enterprises, or individuals involved in the dispute, henceforth defined as Entities. Entities do not have to be members or observers of the World Forum to submit a dispute to the International Court.

which would make alternative 2 superfluous, or replacing the current wording for alternative 2.

We support alternative 1 for Section C, believing we should not change the already agreed upon location and place it in territory that is under unclear jurisdiction.

We support alternative 2 for Section D.

As the author of the resolution, we decided to change the wording for the draft - if alternative 2 gets a majority - accordingly.

The Federal Republic of GI-Land is in favour of alternatives B1, C1 and D2.

Votes in total: 5 votes
Alternative 1: 1 vote
Alternative 2: 4 votes

Section C
Votes in total: 6 votes
Alternative 1: 4 votes
Alternative 2: 2 votes

Section D
Votes in total: 5 votes
Alternative 1: 1 vote
Alternative 2: 2 votes
Alternative 3: 2 votes

We move on to voting on the final draft of the resolution. Like always I'd ask you to vote with either Aye, Nay or Abstain for the next five (5) days - until Friday, 15 May 2020, 24:00 h GMT+1 to be precise.
If you are in favour of the resolution, please also vote on either Alternative 1 or Alternative 2 to pass the voting phase. If there is a draw between the alternatives in the end, the voting phase will get extended one time for three days and if there is still a tie between both alternatives, a lot will decide the outcome of the vote.

WF-Resolution 1b - Establishment of the International Court

Section A – Purpose

This resolution aims towards establishing the International Court (IC) according to its framework laid out in Article II, Section C of the Charter of the World Forum.

Section B – Responsibilities

1. The International Court shall:
a) have the authority to adjudicate disputes and administer justice in accordance to the International Laws as defined in the Grovne Conventions, which are voluntarily submitted by nations, regions in nations, international organisations, or individuals involved in the dispute, henceforth defined as Entities. Entities do not have to be members or observers of the World Forum to submit a dispute to the International Court.
b) help the Assembly, should the need for arbitration arise.
c) propose actions to the Assembly when Entities violate human rights
d) judge Entities that disturb international peace and security
e) propose the deployment of peacekeeping troops or other sanctions to the Assembly, should no other action be deemed sufficient to resolve the dispute.
f) mediate in conflicts between non-governmental organisations or enterprises, which are voluntarily submitted to it. 

Any rulings by the International Court must always be based on international law as defined in the Grovne Conventions. If one party fails to comply with a decision of the International Court, the other party may have recourse to the Assembly, where a recommendation may be made.

2. In case of a trial, the accused Entities will be provided counsel versed in international law by the International Court. The defendant may also appoint counsel of their choice. If they are unable to find one, the International Court needs to provide counsel versed in international law.

3. The International Court shall work out guidelines to protect witnesses and testifiers to the International Court. These guidelines need approval by a simple majority in the Assembly. 

Section C – Location

The seat of the International Court is in Petrovka, Karnetvor. The Assembly may relocate the Court with a simple majority vote after hearing the country, in which the International Court is located, and taking possible counter arguments into consideration. The country has been heard after it has expressed its standpoint on the relocation or after fourteen (14) days have passed.

Section D – Organisation

1. Alternative 1

All members of the World Forum are represented with one justice in the International Court proposed by the member’s government. All justices need approval by the Assembly with a simple majority vote. In each case only a board of five (5) justices administer justice. The term of each justice lasts one (1) year, after which the Assembly needs to approve the judge again.

1. Alternative 2

All members of the World Forum are represented with one justice in the International Court proposed by the member’s government. All justices need to get approved by the Assembly with a simple majority vote. In each case only a board of seven (7) justices administer justice. The term of each justice lasts one (1) year, after which the Assembly needs to approve the judge again.

2. The approval of justices happens during the speakership elections. The Assembly can decide on whether to approve all judges at once or to have a vote for each judge separately.

3. The Speaker of the Assembly shall ensure, that the board of justices working on a case only consists of justices who are unbiased towards either party of the conflict. All conflicting parties have the right to file a complaint if they are feeling mistreated by the Court. Such a complaint shall get sent to the Speaker with an explanatory letter attached to it. A complaint without such an explanatory letter will not be considered. The Speaker decides on whether to act upon such a complaint.

4. For the duration of the term, there shall be a head justice who is appointed by the other justices by a majority vote to lead the work of the International Court. The head justice shall be neutral in all disputes.

5. The participation in a peacekeeping mission is entirely voluntary. No member of the World Forum is bound to send troops, material, money or other goods, if the Assembly has voted in favor of deploying peacekeeping troops after a suggestion by the International Court.

Section E - Procedure

1. Rulings shall be decided by a majority vote by the board.

2. Rulings may be appealed. If the head justice finds that there is reason to do so, new justices shall replace those in the board.

3. The International Court shall otherwise have the authority to establish its own procedural framework by majority votes by the justices.
