Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2010 10:24 pmThe Vow of Honour
We, the Heads of State and Government of:
Tergnitz
Imeriata
Hereby sign this Bilateral Defence and Trade Agreement.
The objective of this Pact is to officially state that a deep bond of brotherhood exists between these two nations as well as to establish a clear foundation regarding cooperation in defence, security and trade matters.
The Parties to this Treaty;
REAFFIRMING their desire to live in peace with all peoples and governments, and desiring to strengthen the fabric of peace in the world,
DESIRE to declare publicly and formally announce their common determination to defend themselves against any external armed attack so that no potential aggressor could be under the illusion that either of them stands alone in the world,
FURTHER wish to strengthen joint efforts regarding collective defence, with an ultimate aim being the preservation of peace and security pending the development of a more comprehensive and effective system of global security in the world,
Have agreed to the following:
ARTICLE I
The Parties that have signed this document hereby promise to attempt to settle all disputes which they are involved in on the international scale peacefully, without resorting to the use of force of arms. They pledge to do this until all other means and alternatives have been attempted and determined to be unfruitful, so that international peace, security and justice are not endangered unless necessary.
Clause A – “However, the Parties retain the ultimate right and option to utilise military force if the situation is deemed necessary by the nation’s incumbent government.”
ARTICLE II
The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of either of them, the political independence, territorial integrity or security of either of the Parties is threatened by external hostile forces. Separately and jointly, by self help and mutual aid, the Parties will maintain and develop appropriate means to deter armed attack and will take suitable measures in consultation and agreement to implement this Treaty and to further its purposes.
ARTICLE III
Each Party recognizes that an armed attack from the international community on either of the Party’s sovereign territory now under their respective administrative control, or hereafter recognized by one of the Parties as lawfully brought under the administrative control of the other, would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes.
ARTICLE IV
The Parties will endeavour to eradicate domestic protective trade barriers, which may take the form of tariffs, quotas or subsidies. Both Parties acknowledge the archaic nature of these measures and desire to promote free, unrestricted trade as to benefit all Parties economically, thusly developing a closer integration of economic systems.
ARTICLE V
The Parties grant the rite of passage to all signatories land, air and sea forces in and about the territory of these two nations as determined by mutual agreement.
ARTICLE VI
This Treaty shall be ratified by the Grand Imperial Empire of Tergnitz and the The Absolute Royal Federation of Imeriata in accordance with their respective constitutional processes and will come into force when instruments of ratification thereof have been exchanged by them in Pretoria, Tergnitz.
