Here is the proposed charter of the New Alliance Treaty Organization. Current members are urged to comment on the contents of this charter.
THIS IS NOT THE RECRUITMENT THREAD, SO DO NOT ASK TO JOIN NATO HERE.
*************
*The New Alliance Treaty Organization shall herein be referred to as NATO.
*Member Nations are urged to open trade routes with one another. Not every nation must open routes with all consistent members, but trade and interaction on some level is preferred.
*Nations may not petition to join NATO soley for membership and no other action. Upholding of this charter and the responsibilities and duties that come with the status of a NATO member is required. Inactivity or failure to follow the rules and guidelines of this charter will result in a review/dismissal of said nation's membership status.
*Active and Respected Member of the International Community. (OOC: Reputable RP record.)
*Nations may apply for Economic Boost Packages, Defensive Boost Packages, and other benefits that will be exclusive to NATO members.
*Nations may petition for a redress of grievances in a International Consortium Court, if they believe a member nation has acted unaccordingly to the Charter. The court will be a panel of 3 persons from nations that do not hold cabinet positions, therein creating a 'check and balance' system. This 3 person panel shall be known as the International Consortium Court.
*No nation may attack another nation within NATO, period. All grievances must be brought before the International Consortium Court. Those nations that do attack a member naton will be expelled from NATO immediatly, and summarily have sanctions placed upon them.
* All nations are given the right to rule in sovereignty, NATO, the International Consortium Court, may not pass any statute that interferes with the sovereignty of a member nation. Save in place of sanctions or other disciplinary actions that may be decided upon by the International Consortium Court.
*NATO shall be ran by a singular individual, and an appointed Congressional Board. This board shall consist of five nations, appointed by a majority vote from Automagfreek, Sigma Octavus, and Celack.
*The International Consortium Court shall be appointed by the head of NATO, with an approval measure of 75% majority vote from the Congressional Board.
*The head of NATO may propose a new amendment to this charter, or to remove an existing one. The Congressional Board shall decide to remove or add by a 75% majority vote in accordance witht eh head of NATO's wishes.
*In cases of tied votes in the Congressional Board, the head of NATO will make the final decision.
*The head of NATO shall hold Executive Authority to declare an Emergency state on a trade route or Nation/State, and deploy NATO forces to protect them/it. If after 45 days the Congressional Board decides that there is no Emergency Situation, or the situation no longer requires NATO forces, they may, by a 50% Majority vote, order the withdrawal of forces.
*The Board shall hold the authority to approve or disapprove membership, to a petitioning Nation. This action can be vetoed by the head of NATO if just cause against the applying nation is shown.
*All NATO member nations must stand ready to commit military forces in any conflict against a NATO member. While not required to go to war immediately when when a conflict arises, all members must be ready and on alert if the Congressional Board feels that said member is innocent of provocation. Provocation of a attack without NATO approval will result in an emergency meeting of the Congressional Board to discuss the situation and rule on it accordingly. Suspension of NATO membership for unjustified aggression can result at any time by either a 50% vote from the Congressional Board, a 50% vote from the International Consortium Court, or a singular vote by the head of NATO. This action can only be appealed by a member of the Board or the Court, and NOT by the member in question.
