The International Charter of the Forum for Innovative States









Preamble

The charter of the Forum for Innovative States prioritizes the Rights and Freedoms of every single person, and strongly discourages the emergence of totalitarian States. The Forum for Innovative States was founded at a time where the governments of old, classical countries of the world were constantly engaged in conflicts with either one another or with the people. This resulted in an increasingly unhappy people, whose freedoms and rights were constantly undermined. The Forum for Innovative States hereby declares higher international standards of ethics, by which immoral and selfish governments may become a thing of the past. Consequently, any individual citizens of any Sovereign States benefit from fundamental, undeniable rights and freedoms. Therefore, every person, rather than being a servant whose constants efforts are destined to increase the power of a selfish kleptoslavery government, may instead enjoy life, remain the sole master of himself/herself, spend more time exploring passions to their full potentials, and, essentially, truly be free.





Article 1 - New International Legal Definition

This Article shall provide the legal definitions by which a community may qualify as a Sovereign State. The Forum for Innovative States, as a whole, subscribes to the Declarative Theory of Statehood. But to fully qualify as a member State, several criterions must be satisfied.



Three types of Sovereign States are here described, in accordance with modern capabilities. Some may be more likely than others, nevertheless, a definition for all three types is necessary and hereby included.



a) Independence movements / exit movements:



- Such a movement occurs when a community, within a Sovereign State or an old country, seek complete independence and governmental autonomy from the parent Sovereign State or old country. It may also occur when a community does not recognize the authority of a Sovereign State or old country, and express the desire to remain independent and autonomous from the Sovereign State or old Country.



- Such a movement may qualify as a Sovereign State if it satisfies four criterions: it must have a population superior to 50; it must have existed for at least one year (365 days); it must have a government defined by a constitutional document; and it must claim a territory.



- Such a movement may not claim more than a third of the territories of the parent Sovereign State or old country. Additionally, such a movement may not claim the capital city of the parent Sovereign State or old country. If it has a shore, such a movement may claim up to 500 kilometers of otherwise unclaimed waters, as measured from its shoreline. Additionally, its airpace shall extend up to 15 kilometers relative to sea level, and 5 kilometers into the ground, relative to sea level.



b) Seasteading communities:



- Such a community aims to create a structure in international waters (outside of the waters of any Sovereign State or old country), and establish this structure into its own independent and autonomous government. The structure might be anything from a boat to an artificial island, or any novel structure.



- Such a community may qualify as a Sovereign State if it satisfies those four criterions: it must have a government defined by a constitutional document; it must have existed for at least one year; the community's structure must be inhabited by at least 5 people; and the community's structure must be stationary geographically.



- Such a community may not claim more than 50 kilometers of unclaimed waters, as measured from the outmost surface of the structure. Such a community's airspace extends to 15 kilometers from the sea level, and down to minus 5 kilometers under the sea level.



c) Space nations:



- Such a nation seeks to establish a presence in space, as a structure located on some celestial body or beyond the Earth's troposphere. This nation then claims such a structure to constitute an independent entity, with its own sovereign government.



- Such a nation may qualify as Sovereign States if it satisfies these three criterions: it must have a government defined by a constitutional document; it must have existed for at least one year, and the community's structure must be inhabited by at least one person.



- Such a nation must refrain from sending unmanned structures across space (or into orbit) in an attempt to claim unreasonably large areas of space. Though there is no doubt such unmanned structures would belong to the nation, and though sending unmanned vehicles is acceptable if no other Sovereign States object to it, it is not acceptable for any Sovereign States to merely send an object across the solar system and then pretend to claim the entire solar system in doing so. Therefore, to count as part of the Sovereign State's territory, the structures must be inhabited. In which case the Sovereign State may claim up to 100 kilometers of unclaimed space around the structure.





Article 2 - International Declaration of Personal Rights and Freedom

The leader of any Sovereign States, and any person member of such Sovereign States, shall recognize that:



a) Any person has the Right to Live; and may not be terminated, nor convinced to terminate himself/herself.



b) Any person has the Right to Own Property; and may not be stolen what he/she earned, bought, or lawfully owns.



c) Any person has the Right to Privacy; and may not be spied upon, monitored without his/her will, or forced to give away personal information.



d) Any person has the Right to Fair Judgement; and may not be convinced of a crime without proof, without the ability to defend himself/herself, and without a fair and impartial judging party. Additionally, any person may have the ability to get legal protection against any injury or threats to his/her Rights and Freedoms.



e) Any person has the Right to Peace; and may not be disturbed in an arbitrary fashion at his/her residence by government officials, except in cases where he/she is disturbing the Rights and Freedoms of other persons, or in cases where the well-being of the State as a community depends on an intervention at the person's residence.



f) Any person has the Right to Health; and the State may not impose, nor promote, conditions that are severely detrimental to his/her health.



g) Any person has the Right to Produce; and may build anything, produce anything, and grow anything; and may use, sell or give such products, as long as doing so does not infringe on other person's Rights or Freedoms, or on the State's well-being as a community.



h) Any person enjoys the Freedom of Actions; and may act in any manner he/she wishes, provided that such actions does not infringe on other person's Rights or Freedoms, or the State's well-being as a community.



i) Any person enjoys the Freedom of Migration; and may not be prevented from moving accordingly to his/her will, and to enjoy any public area or area he/she owns, provided that such movement does not infringe on other person's Rights or Freedoms, and respects other State's laws regarding immigration into their territories.



j) Any person enjoys the Freedom of Speech; and may express himself/herself without censorship, provided that such expression does not infringe on other person's Rights or Freedoms.



k) Any person enjoys Absolute Freedom; and may not be forced to work for another entity, to express things without his/her will, or to act in any manner contrary to his/her will.



l) Any group of persons has the right to become its own Sovereign State, and gain complete independence from the parent Sovereign State, provided that such a group fulfills the requirements to become a Sovereign State, as described in Article 1.





Article 3 - Etiquettes of the Sovereign States Government

The leaders of Sovereign States shall recognize that their actions must be subject to reasonable limitations. Such restrictions serve to enforce the legitimacy of Sovereign States as a whole. As such, the leaders of the States agree to:



a) Avoid implementing arbitrary laws. Any citizen should know the laws practiced in the State, and such laws may not be arbitrarily changed. Methods to change laws must have a consistent and known process, and defined in a constitutional document that is publicly available.



b) Avoid "red market" economy. A red market economy is an economic system based on piracy, assassinations, sex trafficking, and involuntary organ harvesting. Any person of any States, including the leaders, shall refrain from engaging in any of such economies.



c) Avoid unwarranted belligerent actions. The State, as a sovereign entity, has the right to self defense. However, aggressive, unprovoked military action, especially for the purpose of gaining new territory, shall not be tolerated.



d) Avoid fraud. Acting in a fraudulent manner, especially with investors or sponsors, is unacceptable, and may delegitimize other States by making potential investors or sponsors hesitant.



e) Avoid detrimental behavior. Any person of a Sovereign State may not cause damage to any fellow Sovereign States. Emissions of harmful frequencies in a volume that provably affects the health of people in other States, excessive production of waste that visibly accumulates into another State's territory, leakage of unstable isotopes or harmful products in the environment, or any similar behavior shall not be tolerated.



f) Avoid abusive land/area restrictions. At least two-thirds of the area of a Sovereign State must remain public, and freely available for the people to enjoy; and any modifications to this ratio must be first approved by the overwhelming majority (superior to two-thirds) of the population within the State.





Article 4 - International Relations

Relations between the Sovereign States are based on mutual respect; and the successful, independent evolution of all States, those that are member of the Forum for Innovative States, depends on such a respect.



a) All Sovereign States are required to recognize one another's sovereignty. They are also required to respect one another's territorial boundaries. Acknowledging the sovereignty of other States does not imply support for their ideology of governance; it is a mere recognition of their legal status in the international community. In order for Sovereign States to flourish, they must be respected by international law, and be granted mutual autonomy.



b) A Sovereign State that is member of the Forum for Innovative States may not claim the territories of a fellow member Sovereign State. In the event of a conflict between the territorial claims of a member Sovereign State and a non-member nation, the Forum for Innovative States shall favor the claims of the fellow member Sovereign State. In the event of a conflict between the territorial claims of a member Sovereign State and another fellow member Sovereign State, the newest Sovereign State (in terms of foundation date) shall be granted a temporary 1 square kilometer territorial claim recognition, until an agreement is reached between the concerned parties. If more than two-thirds of the population within an area from the older Sovereign State expresses the wish to join the newest Sovereign State, this area shall be transferred to the newest State, in accordance with the will of the people.





Article 5 - Administration and Moderation of the Forum for Innovative States



The Forum for Innovative States shall be managed by three Secretary Generals. All three shall belong to different Sovereign States - it is not legal for all three to come from a single Sovereign State. Their mandate shall last five years. After which the next Secretary General(s) may be chosen, by means of a one week vote from the round table of member Sovereign States, at the end of which the candidate(s) must have received over two-thirds of votes in favor.



International motions and international endeavors are decided by means of an international vote. Any Sovereign State may submit a suggestion. To be considered valid, such a suggestion may not infringe any of the Charter's articles, and must have gained over half of votes in favor, after a voting period of one week. In such a case, the Secretary Generals shall then be required to formally pass the approved suggestion, and implement it. The voting power of Sovereign States is dependent on their population. States with a total population of 1 to 10 have 1 Vote. States with a total population of 11 to 100 have 2 Votes. States with a total population of 101 to 1,000 have 3 Votes. And so on; the State gets one more Vote with each order of magnitude its population increases.



Any community may request to become a member of the Forum for Innovative States. Upon becoming a member, such a community will automatically be considered a fellow Sovereign State, and every other member Sovereign States shall be required to respect the Sovereign State's independence. However the Forum for Innovative States must have a mechanism by which it can screen out communities that are not serious in becoming a Sovereign State, communities that promote controversial ideas, and communities that are openly belligerent. Therefore, the inclusion of a community into the Forum for Innovative States shall be decided by means of a vote, amongst the Sovereign States that are members. If accepted by more than two-thirds of the voting members after a period of a week, it shall be assumed that the new Sovereign State acknowledges and agrees to the Charter. The Sovereign State may have only one representative within the Forum for Innovative States.



The Rights and Freedoms described in Article 2 is prioritized by the Forum for Innovative States. In the event a Sovereign State violates the Rights and Freedoms of its citizens, such citizens may submit a detailed complain to the Forum for Innovative States.
