OOC: After a discussion in the WA Discord server, I thought I'd try my hand at a draft that enables the members of the WA to have a military defence alliance, but without involvement from the WA as per GAR #2 "Rights And Duties Of WA States". I have done my best to manoeuvre through the openings I think I saw within GAR #2, but please let me know if this is a shared sentiment. Also, I think International Security was the appropriate category, but please tell me if I am mistaken and the sample applies for the strength. I am by no means hard pressed to bring this draft to a submission, so if it won't work, then it won't work. Candor is appreciated.
Multinational Defence Pacts
Category: International Security | Strength: Mild
Aware that GAR #2 "Rights and Duties of WA States" grants permission to the members of this honourable assembly of nations to form a military collective amongst themselves for the purpose of self-defence; and
Convinced that such a multinational approach to defence against aggression from external parties would incentivize membership of this august body, and thus bring more states into its international embrace:
The World Assembly hereby:
- Defines for the purposes of this resolution:
- A 'defence pact' as a lasting good-faith agreement to form and maintain a military alliance of which the signatories vow to lend military aid and support to one another exclusively in the defence against armed aggression from an external force;
- An 'external force' as any state or collective thereof, or any entity led by a state or group thereof that is not a part of a member state's defence pact;
- Requires all member states to form a defence pact with at least one other member nation;
- Clarifies that nothing in Clause 2 prevents a member nation from including a non-member state into a defence pact, or from forming one with such;
- Further clarifies that nothing in Clause 2 prevents existing defence pacts (or any existing agreement meant as one) from counting as a fulfilment of the mandates of this resolution;
- Forbids any defence pact from acting under the banner of the WA during any of its operations;
- Declares that the WA will not participate in any defence pact, or its command, organisation, or operation.
