Optional Defense Pact
Optional Defense Pact
The following document is verified as a genuine Optional Defense Pact, and as such contains conditions for etiquette, obligatory intelligence sharing, and optional military & financial assistance.
I. Preamble
This treaty recognizes that the North Atlantic Defense Coalition and the German Empire share a unique bond with one another. This treaty endeavors to firmly solidify that relationship by providing both signatories with the legal justification to honor their friendship by coming to the aid of one another in times of need.
This treaty is signed in good faith, and is based upon the noble ideals of friendship and cooperation common to all of us. It is signed not only in the pursuit of peace, which many times becomes stagnant, but in the hopes that both signatory alliances will work together to actively pursue a better future and to ensure that cooperation will take the place of violence and rash aggression. In the signing of this treaty, it must be clear that both organizations and their members will remain sovereign.
II. Terms
The world community should expect that the following terms will be upheld by both signatories as a result of the friendship that they share.
a. Non-Aggression
No member nation of either alliance will declare war on any member nation of the other, provide aid (be it military, money, technology, or knowledge) to enemies of the other, or commit acts of espionage against the other.
b. Etiquette
The signatory alliances and their members will treat each other with as much respect and decency as they would their own members. Signatories will show tact and consideration when addressing any grievances, namely by making full use of proper diplomatic channels.
c. Assistance
In all cases, an explanation is expected to be provided to the one signatory if the other signatory cannot fulfill its request for assistance.
______i. Discretionary
Concerning requests for military assistance against a foreign alliance and requests for financial aid, neither signatory is legally bound to grant such requests. However, should a request be made through official channels by one signatory, the other is highly encouraged to participate. Additionally, if no request is made by a signatory that is in need of aid, the other signatory is still highly encouraged to offer their assistance. Let it be known that this treaty provides all signatories with full legal justification to enter a conflict that concerns the other, if they so choose.
______ii. Non-discretionary
Concerning hostile independent nations and requests for intelligence, signatories are bound to honor such requests with the full measure of their resources. If it is requested, providing military and/or financial assistance to one signatory that is engaged in warfare against an unaffiliated rogue nation(s) is required. Additionally, any information gathered by one signatory with potential impact on the security of the other will be promptly and privately forwarded to them.
d. Withdrawal
If either signatory alliance feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and resulting diplomatic negotiations have not offered any sort of resolution, they have the right to withdraw from the treaty by the express will of their respective decision making bodies. Notification of withdrawal must be given to the other signatory within fourty-eight hours. Should this treaty be revoked by either alliance, a twenty-four hour grace period begins in which neither alliance may declare war on the other, after which no such rules apply.
