The International League of Socialist States Charter
The Articles of Common Defense
In these troubled times of international turmoil, states recognize the need to unify and join together in bonds of mutual protection. In this joining of the common bond against the forces of imperialism, this collection of the undersigned states recognizes and commits to a mutual defense pact for the bettering of our world through means of both self-protection and protection of member states from outside forces that would seek to remove the freedoms so hard fought for. All people of all nations are entitled to these freedoms, but they must also be protected. In accordance with these aims, the following articles have been drawn up and approved by all member states.
Article I – Laws of War
No individual nation may, at any time, force upon any other nation its own ideals and beliefs. The sovereignty of all nations is sacrosanct and must not be undermined. In mutual respect with these ideals, no member nation may at any time call upon the alliance to force an imperialistic means of war. No member nation may at any time call upon the alliance to wage a war in which a member state was an aggressor. In any means if a nation in the alliance must declare war against an aggressive nation, the declaration must be justified by the declaring nation and ratified in conference by alliance members. In the basic accordance with the rules of combat, no member nation shall fire the proverbial first shot. No member nation may at any time call upon the alliance to defend itself should it be found that the member nation was infringing on the basic principles the alliance holds true.
Article II – The Cases for the Alliance to be Called to War
The alliance shall, in times of great need, be called to war. The first of these cases shall be in the times of prospects of defense of member nations. Should a member nation of the alliance be found to be in the right of defense and be holding the interest of both the nation and alliance at heart, a call to other member nations may be issued forth. The other member nations, hearing this call issued forth, have the duty and obligation as under signers of this treaty, to respond with sufficient means to remedy the situation for the given call.
The second of these cases for the Alliance to be called to war is in dire situations of the peoples of other nations. When such things as the genocide of a population or the mass executions of a minority plague a nation, the Alliance may be called upon to protect the basic rights and dignities of a population. Only in the most extreme cases, when the atrocities of a sovereign state cannot be borne on the conscious of the world, shall this section of the article be invoked.
Article III – The Given Responses to Calls to Arms
When a call is issued and the leaders of the alliance have decreed a response is necessary, member nations have a duty and an obligation to give a certain level of response. Nations must respond in a timely and honorable fashion to a given call to arms. When a call to arms is issued, the need is dire for the member state and a delay of unnecessary sorts can shift the balance out of favor of the alliance.
Such as these measures are necessary, all member states must issue a response to the call within 24 hours of it given. Within the next 24 hours after a response, a nation must be able to cite the forces it is willing to send to assist the mediation of the call to arms. Within 48 hours of the citation of arms, a nation must be able to begin the mobilization of those forces. A week total shall be given for the member states to begin the transport of troops and materials towards the zone of combat from where the call has been issued.
Article IV – International Aid
At the end of a conflict if any nation, which was not the aggressor in combat, were to need financial support and/or police aid, Alliance members are obligated to report the nation to the ILSS committee and further discussion on sending aid to that nation will result during a meeting of ILSS delegates.
Due to the increasing amount of aid needed in the world the ILSS will form a group based on international aid and causes. Research for diseases will be carried out only under extreme epidemic proportions. International aid is a sensitive matter and under any circumstances where it seems that by helping a nation the ILSS will be drawn into a conflict any aid will be terminated.
Article V – Terror Support
Under any circumstances if any nation under the alliance is cooperating with terrorist organizations and/or groups, the nation will be terminated from the alliance and treated as a traitor. Terrorism will not be tolerated by any nation in the ILSS. If an alliance nation is having trouble with terrorism ILSS members will act in a military manner to support allies in the time of need(See: Article III). Terrorism will be ran out of the country or eliminated within a two year limit, if the limit is hit all ILSS nations currently acting under military support will terminate operations and pull all troops out.
Two years is plenty of time to eliminate potential terrorist threats, the limit will also show ILSS Military strength and ability to eliminate a threat at a quick pace. Terrorism is a growing concern and more laws will be made later on concerning terrorism.
Article VI – Treaties and Alliances (Outside the ILSS)
Nations in the ILSS are allowed to have personal alliances and treaties as long as they don’t interact with other articles in this document. The alliances will be expanded to include the ILSS so as not to create problems in the future. (Example: Nation A is allied to Nation B and is in the ILSS with Nation C, Nation B declares war on Nation C and calls to arms Nation A, Nation A disregards the ILSS document and goes to war against Nation C therefore becoming an enemy of the entire ILSS).
Article VII – Proper Uses of Propaganda
Propaganda first off should not be used by any member to in any way manipulate the minds of the public they serve. Manipulative propaganda is outlawed by the ILSS any nation found to be using propaganda for popular support in war cases and/or government positions will become a potential threat to the ILSS and the member will be investigated. Propaganda though is harmful when being used to aid a liberation force, in any case if the ILSS is called to arms and an invasion of a threatened nation is at hand propaganda will be used to insure that no resistance from the public will have to be dealt with. If a member nation is invaded by an aggressive force the nation has all power to use propaganda to gain military power back in the nation. It seems that the only way to deal with aggressive nations is to be aggressive, therefore if a member nation is invaded by an aggressive nation the aggressive nation will be invaded as soon as the member nation is liberated. (see other articles for reference)
Article VIII - Common Command
During the times of crises and conflict, the International League of Socialist States shall enact into power a directorate of top military leaders from all member states. This directorate will have total command and control power over the allied armed forces of the ILSS. This command shall be comprised of one admiral and one general from each of the member nations, and, in the case of numerous nations, shall be derived from the ten most powerful nations within the alliance. At the cecsation of the hostile actions in which the alliance has engaged, the directorate of military leaders shall dissolve and return to their contries of origin.
The Articles of Economics within the ILSS
Article I – Guidelines for Economic Interaction
At any time, member states may engage in the buying and selling of goods and commodities with any other member state. Member states shall not be barred from this interaction by any other state, regardless of economic politics or diplomatic relational status. Member states shall be neither subject to tariffs nor to shipping fees between one another. The buying and selling of goods shall be fair and open, with all business done in a manner befitting an honest nation amongst a brotherhood of allied states. At no time shall a member state engage in illegal trade, smuggling, thievery, or sabotage of another member state, lest the offending state be removed from the alliance. These guidelines being set, all member states shall engage in fair and open trade as equal partners in an alliance, with a shared market between them.
Article II – Economic Regulating Body
A provisional body of the alliance government shall be established and maintained through alliance funds in order to monitor and regulate the trade of member states within the alliance. This body, shall, upon creation, be tasked with the accounting of all goods sold and bought, all debts, public and private among vendors. This regulatory body shall also be tasked with establishing and monitoring the currency exchange rates according to the economic market indexes of the member states. Should any member state be found in violation of any alliance-created economic treaty, the offending state shall present its economic chief officer, as well as its executive chief officer, to a high tribunal of the regulating committee. There will they be tried in accordance with the crimes committed. This regulating body shall also have the powers to regulate in what manner goods and products from member states are manufactured and dsitributed. This regulating body shall recognize the rights of Unions to organize and the evils of slavery. Should any nation fail to comply with these accords, the offending nation shall stand trial before the aforementioned grand jury.
