NS Geneva Conventions - The Panoli Accords (Discussion)
Posted: Sun Jun 19, 2022 7:14 am
This thread is for discussing the creation of civilized conventions for nations to conduct themselves, and have some expectation of others to follow. While the WA covers some of that, they don't delve into very specific wartime scenarios and try to avoid military related discussions, or regulating anything to do with a nation's conduct of conflict.
This thread is not for you to post your edgy hot take. If you don't like the idea, simply don't participate. No commentary needed that isn't constructive to the discussion. If you don't RP your nation as biding by any civilized conventions, this isn't the thread for you.
It came up in discussion on a NS related Discord server that nothing properly exists in NS like the RL Geneva Conventions. I'd like to change that. Allanea created the Amistad Declaration, in regards to slavery, and I think that is a model blueprint for how this could be accepted into the NS RP community. I didn't think this completely belonged in the WA forum, as it's more IC RP and not GP.
What is needed is someone who is good at writing resolutions, particularly probably from the player community that writes resolutions for the General Assembly. I am just not good at writing that type of legalese on my own, so I'm looking for dedicated volunteers.
From the rest of the RP community, we need ideas on what points should be covered - should it just be a line for line copy of the Geneva Conventions with some minor changes, or should we strive to create something completely organic and different?
Should there be different versions for different tech levels?
All valid things to think about and discuss.
IC wise, I don't mind hosting, but ironically, my capital is called Geneva. I might move the hosting site of such an IC convention to another city in my nation, just to avoid confusion with the RL Geneva Conventions. This is if we even bother to do a whole thread, or just need an IC placeholder location for the signing of the convention documents.
I will work on formatting later, but just wanted to get the discussion rolling for now.
So, with all that in mind, what say you NS RP community?
