Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it seems appropriate seeing as my question relates directly to the UN.

Does the N.S.U.N. have an actual charter? If so, where can I find a copy?
If not, would it be safe to assume that the N.S.U.N.'s charter is similer, if not identical, to that of the actual U.N.?

Thanks in advance.

Closest it ever came that I'm aware of (From Sophista's sticky - click the box)

Not that I wish to appear stupid (sometimes I just can't help it) but I don't see a box, and when I click on it I only get the box, and not an actual link.

Is my browser set up wrong? (Mozilla Firebird v 1.0) Or have i configured something wrong on the forum settings?

I only ask because this is happening all over the forum so it's probably something I have done wrong, rather than this specific entry.

I can't do anything from that link either, and I've also got Mozilla. Maybe its something to do with the browser.

trust me... If I'm seeing the link right, you're not missing much...

No, the link is crap and I can't find it again quickly.

I'll look for it later.

I managed to track down my proposal which I submitted - it didn't get far (35 or so endorsements), but to be fair I didn't try as hard as I should have....

Think I might dust it down and re-submit it sometime.

I wonder if the UN Charter couldn't be changed to look more like the Rights and Duties resolution. If we did something like that, you could submit various "Chapters", each with a different sort of "impact".
