United Nations of the Auroran Continent: Difference between revisions

The ''Charter of the United Nations of the Auroran Continent'' is a treaty which sets out the founding provisions, composition, and structure of the UNAC. In practice, it is the Constituting legislation of the UNAC and is binding on all members who are admitted into the bloc. It sets out the fundamental rights of the citizens and residence of member states and it delineates the relationship between the UNAC as an organization with its members. It also sets out the foundations of the relations between member states. More broadly, it governs the collective relationship of the UNAC member states with nations outside the bloc. This treaty focuses on clearly dividing political power and balancing the interests of individual states with the broader collective with a view to preventing continental wars such as the Auroran-Pacific War. It's efficacy in this regard is disputed.

The Charter sets out the criteria for membership. A prospective member must have its capital city in the Auroran geographical region, it must be able to peaceful administer at least 95% of its claimed territory and it must have at least peaceful relations with other Member states. Upon meeting the criteria, that nation is voted in by the Council of the UNAC. The Council also has the power to suspend membership through a 50% plus 1 majority and to expel a member states via a two-thirds majority. The laws of the UNAC are binding on all member states even when they leave. If they leave, the law is binding for 3 to 4 years.
