Charter of the International Freedom Pact

Section One - Terms and Definitions

This section defines the terms used within the Charter and names the alliance that will hopefully arise from the charter.

[1] This document is defined as being a "charter" whereby "a charter" is defined as being "the set of terms and principles that form the constitution of an organisation and the legal obligation to uphold those terms and principles" and this Charter to be this document. [2] Subscribers to this Charter will be part of a purely military and political alliance which is bound to follow the terms of this Charter and is defined by said Charter. [3]The afore mentioned alliance will be known as the "International Freedom Pact" - henceforth refered to as "the IFP".

[4] This document will refere to several other terms which shall be fined as follows. [5] "Military alliance" shall refere to any body of nations, persons or organisations bound together with the stated aim of participating in conflict together. [6] "Economic alliance" shall refere to a body of nations, persons or organisations bound together with the stated aims of conducting biased trade either in favour of members of their alliance or against those outside their alliance. [7] An alliance shall be deemed as "massive" if it includes or pertains to cover over fifteen billion indiviuals either as direct members of the alliance or as citizens of and persons living within nations within an alliance or employees and members of organisations in an alliance.

[8]At the time of documentation, this Charter recognises that two (2) "Massive Military Alliances" currently exist. These are termed as the "Baghdad Pact" and the "Holy League". [9]The Baghdad Pact is defined as being the military and economic alliance currently consisting of Paradise, Al Araam, Resplendent Dawn, Wadj, Quaon, Lambda League, Ammochostos and Great Denizistan who subscribe to the document of the same name. [10] The Holy League is defined as being the military alliance held under the Catholic Pope, consisting of all Catholic States. [11]The proposed IFP will not fall under the definition of a military alliance.

Section Two - Aims

This section of the Charter sets forth the aims of the IFP: to limit the effect of massive alliances, to place political pressure on them to disband, to counter military aggression from massive alliances and to use it's influence to off set the advantages that massive alliances may have.

[1] The enormous effect that massive alliances have on the world is clear. [2] A military and economic alliance in control of the worlds reasources can grow exponentially if insufficient resistance is present and thus threatens international security and freedom. [3] The principle of Mutualy Assured Destruction is a fundementally flawed way of reducing the power of said alliances as it would require an equally dangerous alliance to act as a deterent. [4] Thus subscribers to this Charter, hence forth refered to as "members of the IFP", will act to offset the advantages massive alliances.

[5]Members of the IFP will lobby massive alliances to disband into smaller groups. The IFP will send one petition a year to all massive alliances until they disband. Indiviual members of the IFP are encouraged to lobby more frequently. [6] Members of the IFP will counter the properganda and recruitment policies of massive alliances whereever possible by offering alternative solutions and different points of view. [7] Members of the IFP will not bow to international pressure from massive alliances - and will treat any nation invovled in trade or combat as individuals, not as part of an alliance.

[8]Should a massive military alliance instigate a state of war, members of the IFP will unilaterally declare war against that alliance unless said massive military alliance enters conflict with a second massive military alliance. [9]Military alliances are often formed in the interests of self protection, for this reason the IFP shall not unilaterally go to war with massive military alliances which do not start conflict. [10] However it must be noted that in the event that a military alliance is also a closely knit economic alliance, in this case hostile economic action shall be interpreted as an act of war.

[11]Should a massive military alliance wish to commit themselves to the principles of the IFP, then they may sign up to the tenents of the IFP. In doing so they gain the protection of the IFP in exchange for their support. [12]Should a member of a massive military alliance wish to subscribe to the principles of the IFP, then that nation may join the IFP - though the IFP can not guarentee that in joining the IFP they will not be ejected from their alliance.

Section Three - Actions and Membership

This section sets out the terms of membership of the IFP and reasons for joining.

[1]The IFP will accept any state which wishes to reduce the effect of massive alliance systems on the world and sign this Charter. [2]States which belong to more than one alliance system will be required to make concessions in order to join the IFP, members of more than one alliance will be required to gain the support of a majority of IFP members (or three IFP, whichever is smaller) before they will be allowed to sign this Charter. [3]States belonging to more than one massive alliance will not be allowed membership within the IFP, similarly should a massive alliance cross military and economic boundaries they will not be permitted to join the IFP.

[4]Should an alliance wish to join the IFP, the entire alliance shall be counted as part of the IFP in regards to peacekeeping actions, however individual members of an alliance can choose to exclude themselves from the IFP. Forced membership is against the very principles of the IFP.

[5]The IFP shall act as a buffer level of security. As it is not an alliance by the definition of this Charter, it permits friendly support of neighbour states in both war time and peaceful economic matters. [6]By not having a non-aggression clause, a protection clause or restrictions on membership the IFP is a way for nations to work together to reduce the power of massive alliance systems, without becoming part of the problem. [7]As membership of the IFP is not dirrectly against any single alliance system, but rather it is against the concept of world domination, IFP members are free to join other alliances if this is what they wish.

[8]The IFP is thus founded under the princples of self determination against world domination by any one faction. [9]The IFP also transcends religious, racial and sociological beliefs. Any nation who believes in the principles of the IFP is welcome to join regardless of national religion.
