Unnecessary armed conflict is "organised armed conflict that neither serves to protect a member state from attack nor is necessary to prevent practices... that threaten the achievement of all sapient rights." While I understand that conflicts "over controls of the aid flows" may not necessarily fall under this description, why do you believe they should (or should not) be covered under Article d?

While I agree that member states should spend their budget as allocated rather than trying to artificially direct it all over the place, my proposal isn't quite there to solve that issue too
Imperium Anglorum wrote:Aid not some simplistic band-aid programme which can easily solve problems. It distorts domestic incentives and encourages rent-seeking. It is not some unalloyed good worth competing for (at least on the supply side; on the demand side people would kill to have a bite of it).
I am very much aware of your criticisms of foreign/humanitarian aid - I'm simply trying to regulate what it can and can't be used for
