Princess Madelyne Zylkoven, WA Representative of Daarwyrth: "Our delegation is revisiting the idea of proposing a pan-WA non-aggression pact, based upon the suggestion of the representatives from Attempted Socialism to focus on the idea of the democratic peace theory. We welcome any commentary and feedback to help bring this proposal to a workable text."
WA Military Non-Aggression Act
Category: Global Disarmament | Strength: Strong
Let it be known that this honourable assembly of nations firmly believes in the idea that democratic states need not engage in acts of war or conflict against one another, and instead ought to stand together united side by side against hostile external influences and autocratic regimes aiming to undermine and collapse the foundations of democracy and peace; and
To strengthen the bonds of the member nations of this august body, and to further the aim of building an international community whose members work together in peace as allies, and adherents to the principles of democracy;
The World Assembly enacts as follows:
- A member nation is prohibited from engaging in armed conflict or any other form of military action against another member state, barring any exceptions set forth by the articles of this resolution;
- A member state which does not adhere to Clause 1 of this resolution in good-faith, or which acts in a manner that misuses or abuses such (for example by resigning membership of the WA in order to be able to attack a member, and to subsequently reapply for WA membership to evade retaliation) is immediately excluded from the non-aggression mandate of Clause 1 as a punitive measure;
- Any commitments to defence treaties a member nation might have with non-member states, and which were already public knowledge before a war with that non-member was started, are excluded from the good-faith mandate of Clause 2, unless any such war was started by the non-member in question;
- Any member nation which commits crimes of war or genocide as understood by extant or future WA law must be excluded from the non-aggression mandate of Clause 1 as a punitive measure;
- The World Assembly Compliance Commission (WACC) is empowered to exclude a member nation from the non-aggression mandate of Clause 1 as a punitive measure for non-compliance with WA law, yet only if the transgression perpetrated by that member's non-compliance is deemed significant or severe enough to warrant such an exclusion after a fair and independent hearing of the Independent Adjudicative Office (IAO) has determined that significance or severity on a case-by-case basis;
- Any renewed inclusion of an excluded member state into the non-aggression mandate of Clause 1 must be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the IAO on whether the punishment of exclusion has been sufficient or yielded the desired coercive results, and subsequently enacted by the WACC if the IAO's assessment has yielded a positive conclusion;
- Nothing in this resolution prevents a member state from maintaining, expanding, training or improving its national military, barring any restrictions set forth by extant or future WA legislation. Similarly, nothing in this resolution prevents a member nation from joining any mutual defence pacts with other members or non-members, barring any restrictions, limitations, or conditions set forth by this resolution, or extant or future WA law.
