Adopted by the Security Council on 27 May 2015
[/big]

The Security Council,

Noting the conflict between The Odinist Republic of Åland and a number of independently-owned vessels (herein ‘protesting ships’) with their flag in the Kingdom of Dartfordia, the Kingdom of East Moreland, the First Empire of Rokkenjima, et al.,

Concerned at the unintentional escalation of conflict between protest ships and The Odinist Republic of Åland,

Recognising the sovereign rights of The Odinist Republic of Åland, in accordance with Article 73 of the Fair Seas Concordat, to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations adopted by it in conformity with the Concordat,

Commending the South Hills Council of Governments for the swift establishment of a peaceful buffer zone,

Wishing to resolve the conflict as swiftly and peacefully as possible,

Considering the clauses and principles of the Fair Seas Concordat,

Considering the views of The Odinist Republic of Åland, the Kingdom of Dartfordia, et al.,

Acting under Chapter VII of the Commonwealth Treaty,

1. Hereby establishes a 10 nautical mile ‘Buffer Zone’, drawn eastward from the edge of the Exclusive Economic Zone of The Odinist Republic of Åland, insofar as not to interfere with the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Union of Nordic People or any other state,

2. Nominates the South Hills Council of Governments to patrol and regulate the buffer zone,

3. Requires that all military or government-owned ships not exercising their right to innocent passage, with the exception of ships belonging to the South Hills Coast Guard, withdraw from the buffer zone and remain outside until such time as the Security Council agrees to dissolve it,

4. Requests that all non-government ships not exercising their right to innocent passage, including ships participating in the protest, observe the Buffer Zone and remain clear of it,

5. Requests the flag state of ships participating in the protest to give notice to their ships of the Security Council’s request,

6. Empowers the South Hills Coast Guard, in the exercise of regulating the buffer zone, to take all reasonable measures to enforce (3) and (4),

7. Requests that The Odinist Republic of Åland does not interfere with the operation of the Buffer Zone,

8. Authorises the South Hills Coast Guard to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of all protestor ships within the Exclusive Economic Zone of The Odinist Republic of Åland and the Buffer Zone, or beyond the Buffer Zone,

9. Further authorises a warship or government-owned ship belonging to a flag state of a protesting ship, or the South Hills Coast Guard, to enter the Buffer Zone and Exclusive Economic Zone at the request of the Government of The Odinist Republic of Åland,

10. Recognises the right of a flag state of a protesting ship, in the event of a gross violation of this resolution, any future resolution, the Treaty, the Fair Seas Concordat, the Uppsala Conventions, or international common law, to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of ships of ships of their flag,

11. Notes as follows:
a. The above authorisation in (8) does not authorise the South Hills Coast Guard of a protesting ship to interfere in processes deemed lawful by Article 73 of the Fair Seas Concordat insofar as a reasonable procedure is undertaken,
b. Should the South Hills Coast Guard be unable to sufficiently maintain the Buffer Zone, then they shall inform the Security Council, who shall nominate another member state of the Organisation to do so,
c. The Odinist Republic of Åland is not bound by the terms of this resolution, but a failure to comply with its provisions may result in further action by the Security Council, General Assembly or International Court of Justice, or individual member states mandated by the same, to ensure compliance with this resolution,
d. The flag state of a protesting ship shall not be held liable for violations of this resolution by the protesting ship, but shall be held liable for their own actions, or actions by their warships or government-owned vessels.
