Cultural Exchange Treaty Organisation
« on: August 31, 2017, 02:38:21 PM »

Spoiler: TEXT OF CHARTER • show


Cultural Exchange Treaty
Purpose
The Purpose of this Treaty is as follows
1. To promote cross regional co-operation in all aspects of cultural research and education.

2. To allow all citizens of the region to take ownership of their own culture and traditions.

3. To allow all citizens of the region to experience and appreciate the culture and traditions of their neighbours.

4. To promote greater respect and understanding between the nations of the Independent Order

To these ends the signatories of this treaty agree to the following

1. The remains of any human found must be returned to the nation of origin if that nation requests it. The repatriation should be carried out with 12 months and costs will be meet by the nation requesting it. Any disputes will be handled using Appendix 1

2. A standardised regional method of cataloguing artefacts will be drawn up and all attempts should be made to digitalise this allowing access to scholars of all levels across the region.

3. Any artefacts discovered which are thought to be non-native are to be catalogued as in Article 2. These artefacts should then be made available to the native nation on the same conditions as Article 1 after approval has been given by the panel of scholars. The panel of scholars shall follow the guidelines as set out in Appendix 1.

4. Scholars of all nations should not be prevented from accessing sites of interest in other nations as long as the following conditions are meet.
i ) The study does not interfere with research already being undertaken at the site.
ii) Non destructive techniques are used.
iii) Scholars undertaking the study comply with all local customs and laws
iv) If an area is considered "off limits" by the government of the nation then alternative methods of study must be contemplated.
v)A nation may reserve the right to refuse entry if the nation has evidence of actions, speech or beliefs that contradict those customs and or laws of the host nation."

5. Each nation will establish a faculty at a University which is devoted to the study of non-native history and cultures.

6. Each nation is to make available for loan a series of artefacts they believe represent a overview of their nations history. These are to be made available for loan to any Treaty nation for a period of 6 months. It is the financial responsibility of the nation loaning the artefacts to cover safe transport costs and to compensate the home nation should any loss or damage occur.

7. The establishment of a Cultural Treaty Organisation which will oversee the administration of the following.
i ) A register of sites which are of interest to more than one nation. The process for admission onto this register shall be as follows. Applications will be made by the government of the nation in which the site is located. Applications to be on this register will be submitted to the panel described in Article 8. A simple 3/4 majority of scholars from treaty signatory nations will enrol sites onto the register.
ii) A quarterly Historical and Cultural Journal which will contain peer reviewed articles by scholars from across the region. This will be open to all citizens of the Independent Order.
iii) An annual conference to take place where the aims of this Treaty can be discussed and promoted.

8.Should any disputes arise between nations over the issues of repatriation of artefacts or remains an international panel of scholars will be created that will arbitrate such matters. The panel will consist of one scholar from each nation, the scholars of the nations in dispute will be excluded from passing judgement on the matter disputed. The panel of scholars will use an independent set of guidelines (Appendix 1) to judge disputes.

9. Any nation wishing to join at a latter date may do so as long as they meet the following criteria
i) Agree to uphold the Articles of this Treaty
ii) Obtain the backing of at least two other Treaty nations




Signed by_______________

APPENDIX 1 - Guidelines for Scholars


1. The panel will be made up of one scholar per nation.
2. The chair of the panel will be held by one nation for one calendar year, this will then rotate. We suggest this work alphabetically to avoid disputes.
3. Upon any dispute arising between nations the chair will convene a meeting of the panel. If the chair's nation is involved then they will be disqualified from the meeting and the next country alphabetically will take over the lead of the meeting, that is obviously unless they too are involved in the dispute, in which case it simply rotates to the next.
4. The first role of the chair during the meeting will be to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement between nations.
5. Should this negotiation fail the chair will instigate an investigation into the dispute.
6. Once the investigation is complete the chair will call for a meeting between the nations involved and the panel. During this meeting all sides may present their case.
7. The panel will retire and discuss their decision, they have the option of awarding artefacts to either nation or awarding "Shared custody" (this will be defined as 6 months in each)
8. In the events of a split vote the Chair will have the casting vote.
9. Should any nation fail to comply with the decision of the panel they will forfit the right to remain part of this treaty.
10. All nations signed to this treaty agree that military threats or use of force will not be used to solve disputes or influence the panel.
11. Disputes must be brought to the attention of the panel with 24 months of an artefact being catalogued.

To the Members of CETO

The Missionara Protectiva of the Bene Gesserit faith are a group of scholars dedicated to the study of history, literature and theology. They have over the last 1000 years amassed some of the largest collections of ancient texts and artefacts outside of a nations direct control. With this in mind we believe the Missionara and CETO could form a very healthy symboitic relationship and thus we ask that the Theocracy of Free Kaitaine be admitted to this organisation. Should our application be accepted we would gladly open our archives to the none Missionara, thus in one fell swoop making over 1000 years of historical documents and objects avaliable for visiting academics to study. Furthermore our Missionara are among some of the most experienced geneologists on Mundus thanks to our faiths emphasis on family lines, they would be more than happy to use this experience to support academics from across the globe.

We therefore ask for CETO to accept the our nation, the homeland  of the Bene Gesserit as a member of CETO and therefore hope two of your members will see fit to grant us admission.

Signed

Leader of the Bene Gesserit Faith

Miteravia votes to reject the application by the so-called "Kingdom of Borland", this application holds little merit more than your garden variety terrorist attempting to claim nationhood. No culturally minded intellectual would ever use an act of terror to attempt to strong-arm their way into an organisation and is thus unsuitable for admittance to such an erudite institution.

Quintelia rejects the application of the terrorist organization of Borland. The nation of Quintelia does not recognize the nation and I suggest everyone do the same. Even if I supported a "terrorist organization" as some may see Kaitiane, that's because it is a nation currently fighting tyranny with terror. Borland, however, has been a brute that targets innocent people for a show of whatever little power they have.

I would also like to call for the temporary dissolution of the CETO as I urge the current chair of the panel to hold a meeting as to review the charter and to put any application on hold.

In regards to the applications of the "Kingdom" of Borland and The Principality of Northern Borland we reject the proposal of the "Kingdom" but support the application of the Principality.

Our reason for doing so is that it is clear that the Principality is a Sovereign State it its own right. Sovereignty is the power of a state to do everything necessary to govern itself, such as making, executing, and applying laws; imposing and collecting taxes; making war and peace; and forming treaties or engaging in commerce with foreign nations. In 2016(OOC-????) the nation of Zimalia granted territory to the individual known as Kyle Barren and permitted him to establish a settlement under his own jurisdiction. The Zimalian President, Binyamin Lewes has gone on record saying that the Principality has the right to make its own laws, collect taxes , raise an armed forces and has signed treaties with Zimalia. They are in effect a sovereign nation. We therefore see no reason in denying this nation a place within CETO.

We further oppose the dissoloution of the organisation as that shall disrupt the valuable work this body carries out and leaves the future of it in crisis.

Lakhzovia rejects the application from self-titled "Kingdom" of Borland. We feel it would be an abuse of this international organisation for political ends to accept the illegitimate terrorist entity that is Borland into CETO.

This great organisation must not be allowed to become a tool in the machinations of terrorists against legitimate member states.
