The Contracting Parties,
Reaffirming their desire to create a system of collective security in Siora based on the participation of all Meritocratic States, irrespective of their social and political structure, whereby the said States may be enabled to combine their efforts in the interests of ensuring peace in the continent;
Taking into consideration, at the same time, the situation that has come about in the continent as a result of the ratification of the Osean Agreements, which provide for the constitution of a new military group in the form of a “Federal Republic of Elanii and Warhin”, with the participation of a remilitarized Warhin and its inclusion in the Federal Elanii bloc, thereby increasing the danger of a new war and creating a threat to the national security of peace-loving States;
Being convinced that in these circumstances the peace-loving States of the continent must take the necessary steps to safeguard their security and to promote the maintenance of peace on the continent;
Being guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the Great Patriotic Resistance;
In the interests of the further strengthening and development of friendship, co-operation and mutual assistance in accordance with the principles of respect for the independence and sovereignty of States and of non-intervention in their domestic affairs;
Have resolved to conclude the present Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutual Assistance and have appointed as their plenipotentiaries:
[Here follow the names of the Plenipotentiaries.]
Who, having exhibited their full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed as follows:
Article 1
The Contracting Parties undertake, in accordance with the Charter of the Great Patriotic Resistance, to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force and to settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security are not endangered.
Article 2
The Contracting Parties declare that they are prepared to participate, in a spirit of sincere co-operation, in all international action for ensuring international peace and security and will devote their full efforts to the realization of these aims. In this connexion, the Contracting Parties shall endeavour to secure, in agreement with other States desiring to co-operate in this matter, the adoption of effective measures for the general reduction of armaments and the prohibition of atomic, hydrogen and other weapons of mass destruction.
Article 3
The Contracting Parties shall consult together on all important international questions involving their common interests, with a view to strengthening international peace and security. Whenever any one of the Contracting Parties considers that a threat of armed attack on one or more of the States Parties to the Treaty has arisen, they shall consult together immediately with a view to providing for their joint defence and maintaining peace and security.
Article 4
In the event of an armed attack in the continent on one or more of the States Parties to the Treaty by any State or group of States, each State Party to the Treaty shall, in the exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence afford the State or States so attacked immediate assistance, individually and in agreement with the other States Parties to the Treaty, by all the means it considers necessary, including the use of armed force. The States Parties to the Treaty shall consult together immediately concerning the joint measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security. These measures shall be discontinued as soon as the necessary action is taken to restore and maintain international peace and security.
Article 5
The Contracting Parties have agreed to establish a Unified Command, to which certain elements of their armed forces shall be allocated by agreement between the Parties, and which shall act in accordance with jointly established principles. The Parties shall likewise take such other concerted action as may be necessary to reinforce their defensive strength, in order to defend the peaceful labour of their peoples, guarantee the inviolability of their frontiers and territories and afford protection against possible aggression.
Article 6
For the purpose of carrying out the consultations provided for in the present Treaty between the States Parties thereto, and for the consideration of matters arising in connexion with the application of the present Treaty, a Political Consultative Committee shall be established, in which each State Party to the Treaty shall be represented by a member of the Government or by some other specially appointed representative. The Committee may establish such auxiliary organs as may prove to be necessary.
Article 7
The Contracting Parties undertake not to participate in any coalitions or alliances, and not to conclude any agreements, the purposes of which are incompatible with the purposes of the present Treaty. The Contracting Parties declare that their obligations under the international treaties at present in force are not incompatible with the provisions of the present Treaty.
Article 8
The Contracting Parties declare that they will act in a spirit of friendship and co-operation to promote the further development and strengthening of the economic and cultural ties among them, in accordance with the principles of respect for each other’s independence and sovereignty and of non-intervention in each other’s domestic affairs.
Article 9
The present Treaty shall be open for accession by other States, irrespective of their social and political structure, which express their readiness, by participating in the present Treaty, to help in combining the efforts of the peace-loving States to ensure the peace and security of the peoples. Such accessions shall come into effect with the consent of the States Parties to the Treaty after the instruments of accession have been deposited with the Government of the Vestor Licit People’s Mandate.
Article 10
The present Treaty shall be subject to ratification, and the instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the Government of the Vestor Licit People’s Mandate. The treaty shall come into force on the date of deposit of the last instrument of ratification. The Government of the Vestor Licit People’s Mandate shall inform the other States Parties to the Treaty of the deposit of each instrument of ratification.
Article 11
The present Treaty shall remain in force for two hundred years. For Contracting Parties which do not, ten years before the expiration of that term, give notice of termination of the Treaty to the Government of the Vestor Licit People’s Mandate, the Treaty shall remain in force for a further one hundred years. In the event of the establishment of a system of collective security in the continent and the conclusion for that purpose of a Continental Mandate concerning collective security, a goal which the Contracting Parties shall steadfastly strive to achieve, the present Treaty shall cease to have effect as from the date on which the Continental Mandate comes into force.
