World Union Charter wrote:The World Union is an international organization dedicated to the creation of a safer, more stable world. In order to inspire principles and faith in the World Union among nonmembers, it is important to lead by example. Members must therefore conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. All nations are subject to International Law and appropriate World Union responses are quantified and described in the following charter.
- International Law
- It is illegal to invade another nation without public declaration of war and valid justification. Valid justification entails that the nation to be invaded has broken international law or otherwise committed a grievous offense against the declaring nation. A nation is defined as any body of land with its own government.
- It is illegal to harm or threaten harm on the diplomat of another nation, unless that diplomat attempts to or intends to harm someone. It is illegal to kill a diplomat unless that diplomat has drawn a weapon and threatened to or intends to use it.
- It is illegal to send agents into another nation without permission if the intent of these agents it to break the nation's laws.
- It is illegal to intentionally cause harm to or kill an unarmed civilian. It is seriously frowned upon to kill an inadequately armed civilian. It is illegal to use civilians as human shields. Further, if a nation places a military installation inside a civilian area and proceeds to launch ordnance from inside the civilian area, it waves the right of protection normally granted to that civilian area.
- It is illegal to use military force or otherwise unfairly pressure an independent state into integrating, unless that independent state has broken international law.
- It is illegal to mistreat prisoners of war in any fashion. Prisoners of war are to be provided suitable food and water to sustain healthy life, be kept in clean conditions, and be provided sufficient shelter from the elements. While prisoners of war may be required to work manual labor jobs, these jobs must not be dangerous in nature, and prisoners of war must not be forced to work more than sixty hours per week. Captured noncommissioned officers may not be forced to perform manual labor jobs more than forty hours per week. Captured commissioned officers, commanders, and politicians may not be forced to perform manual labor jobs more than twenty hours per week.
- It is illegal to employ soldiers that are not wearing a uniform designating them as combatants. It is illegal to open fire while dressed in the uniform of another nation, while designated as a vehicle of another nation, or while flying another nation's flag, unless that nation has given consent to do so.
- It is illegal to fund or otherwise encourage an unjust war. It is illegal to instigate a war. It is illegal to fund or otherwise support the offender in a war.
- It is illegal to conduct, fund, or otherwise encourage acts of terrorism, where terrorism is defined as any act that is ineluctably political in aims and motives, violent or threatening violence, designed to have far-reaching psychological repercussions beyond the immediate victim or target, and conducted by an organization with an identifiable chain of command or conspiratorial cell structure, whose members wear no uniform or identifying insignia.
- It is illegal to make use of any weapon or device that is intended, or has the capability, to cause death or serious bodily injury to a significant number of people through the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or their precursors, a disease organism, radiation or radioactivity, including but not limited to nuclear weapons, biological weapons, and chemical weapons, or any weapon that creates a blast equivalent to or greater than 500 tons of TNT, except in response to the use of such a weapon, but only against the nation that illegally employed such a weapon. It is illegal to even own such weapons without World Union approval.
World Union Code of Conduct Members of the World Union must not invade another nation unless all other diplomatic options have been exhausted or are impractical. They must further give a public declaration of war at least one day in advanced of an invasion, and be able to provide ample justification upon request. Members of the World Union are obligated to lend military support to any member of the World Union being unlawfully invaded. It is up to the World Union to determine how much military support each member can be reasonably expected to send. Members of the World Union will open trade with each other member unless sanctions are placed against that specific member. Intentionally stating falsehoods before the World Union, especially when used as the justification for a war, is grounds for expulsion from the World Union. A World Union Bureau of Investigation shall be formed in order perform investigations without bias. All members of the World Union will be required to fund this bureau, as well as to supply investigators. A member of the World Union under investigation will take the necessary steps to accomadate such an investigation. The World Union reserves the right to demand a nation under investigation cease the questionable activity until such a time as the investigation can be completed. Nations that have broken international law and not made necessary reforms to their conduct will not be allowed into the World Union. Members of the World Union may not lend military or financial support to a nation that is currently breaking international law. This includes refusing/ceasing trade with nations that break international law. World Union Voting Procedure The World Union is divided into six regions: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Antarctica shall be considered part of Oceania. A Security Council is formed of a representative from each region. Which member represents a region is decided by members in that region's group. Any serious issue brought before the World Union must be decided by a 2/3 majority vote of the members as well as a 2/3 majority vote by the Security Council. Issues considered to be trivial or petty will only require a simple majority to decide. An issue that is considered especially urgent may be passed without a 2/3 majority of all members if it receives a unanimous vote from the Security Council. Nations that choose to abstain do not count towards determining the majority requirement for a vote. If a vote to expel a nation from the World Union is in progress, the nation to be expelled does not have a vote in any World Union matters, and does not count towards determinint the majority requirement for a vote. If an issue remains in the voting stage for greater than one week, all non-voters will be considered to have abstained. Punishment Within the World Union If a member of the World Union breaks international law, all other members are required to cease all trade, economic aid, and military aid to that nation. If a member of the World Union continues to break international law for three days after sanctions have been placed, a vote to expel that nation from the World Union will be called. If a member of the World Union continues to break international law even after a vote to expel that nation from the World Union has been called or if a member of the World Union unlawfully invades another member of the World Union, the World Union is obligated to declare war on that member, and the nation is expelled from the World Union regardless of any vote.
