International Police Signup/ OOC

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Ah. Why is it under temporary control? And did West Vorshka sign up as a separate member?

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

Because it was formed from the Western Sector of country that surrendered; and yes, separately, pending a referendum which may make it part of us. But anyway, it might one day be in need of a nice guarantee from some good peacekeepers to keep the order, which is why it's signed up. Just in case, basically.

[Crata]

The Federal Republic of Crata hereby votes IN FAVOUR.

[West Vorshka]

Because it was formed from the Western Sector of country that surrendered; and yes, separately, pending a referendum which may make it part of us. But anyway, it might one day be in need of a nice guarantee from some good peacekeepers to keep the order, which is why it's signed up. Just in case, basically.

And if it does become independent, it will want to be part of the ICPPO.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

I suppose it could get a vote, like how Hong Kong get's it's own place on lists instead of part of the PRC. Not that it would make too much of a difference to the vote: Countries seem to be in favor of adopting the charter. I say we give this another 5 days or so.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Okay, let's do this another way: Are there any objections towards the charter? All that have voted are in favor.

In addition, several things we need to deal with: Firstly, a proper format for proposal of operations, and number two, a sort of warrant thing for individuals, organizations and governments (?)
Note the question mark behind number two, so I'll start with number one first:

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

Okay, let's do this another way: Are there any objections towards the charter? All that have voted are in favor.

What a delightful way of working! Our Supreme Court once used that principal that 'if it hasn't been rejected, and has been noticed, it must have been approved! (<-big smiley face from judge)' to claim nine major countries, and got away with it for a short while until a major war forced them to back down. We have also used it extensively to justify parts of the unwritten constitution which are just 'plain obvious', a handy legal method for filling in gaps in our patchwork of legislation and reconcile conflicting passages, and most importantly to justify the transition of sovereignty in revolutions, because to be honest; it doesn't make much sense that a group of rowdy individuals are allowed to suddenly change the government, unless it's happened before and become the accepted method of changing government.

Therefore we hope that this principal will be generally adopted?

Anyway, we approve of the Official Operation Proposal Scheme above, although we add that when operations are proposed, they should be able to be proposed with certain areas left blank.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Okay, three things to vote for:

Amusing* filler posts are now on the factbook to make sure people know that the constitution is being changed, and won't accidentally read the old one and have a misunderstanding.

I'm also deciding whether or not to update the signup sheet, it doesn't really help us any more. And I have to go off to the backlog and make up a member list too. *Yawn*. I'll get back to y'all.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Hey, regarding the member's list, d'you want me to put in your full nation name, like
The Whatever of Whateverland
or just:

By the way, we currently have 50 active members and 16 inactive members.

Putting all of your forces to the force, some, or just helping? We will be committing some 5000 riot police

We vote for all three, but suggest that we have the threat level operate on the same basis as the terror-alert levels to give better definition to threats, moving from blue to red on the color spectrum through green, yellow, and orange, giving five threat levels. We feel this could provide a better definition of the threat posed by an operation or warrant.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Five threat levels? No problem, I've changed it. Greater Croatia, welcome aboard.

Whereas it has always been necessary to preserve order,
Recognizing that there exists a need for an organization to combat the problem of crime, especially with mass criminal gangs now operate across borders,
Observing that there exists a good opportunity to act on sound values, and intentions,
Aiming to provide or facilitate communication between member countries regarding law and peace enforcement,
Determined to aid in the process of bringing criminals to justice at all costs within the bounds of the respective law,
This document hereby outlines all of the principals, procedures, and operations of THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL POLICE AND PEACEKEEPERS ORGANIZATION (ICPPO); and shall be considered The Charter of that organization.

Article 4: Critical Situations for Peacekeeping
The ICPPO Forces define a critical situation as a situation whereas the ICPPO decides to intervene.
The ICPPO will decide upon this matter on a case-by-case-basis. To qualify for possible ICPPO intervention outside of classifications regarding terrorism or crime, scenarios must:
