GATO-RIA Treaty of Amity

=GATO - RIA Treaty of Amity=

The Global Alliance and Treaty Organization and The Random Insanity Alliance, hereby referred to as GATO and RIA respectively, hereby agree to uphold the principles of non-aggression, protection, and mutual respect outlined in this Treaty of Amity.

Preamble
This treaty is signed in good faith, and is based upon the ideals of friendship and co-operation. It is signed not only in the pursuit of peace, but also in the continuation of good relations for the betterment of GATO and RIA together.

Article I - Sovereignty
In the signing of this treaty, it must be clear that both organizations and their members will remain sovereign.

Article II - Terms
No member nation of either alliance will declare war on any member nation of the other nor provide aid, be it militarily, financially, technologically, or in intelligence, to the enemies of the other alliance, neither shall the signatories commit acts of espionage against the other.

Article III - Respect
The signatory alliances and their members will treat each other with respect and decency, worthy of a level that the signatories would show a member of their own alliance. Healthy debate and discussion, including constructive criticism, are not restricted, but alliance members are expected to use proper channels when addressing a concern.

Article IV - Assistance
Neither signatory alliance is legally bound to grant requests of assistance, be it militarily or financially, from the other. However, should such a request be made through official channels by one alliance, the other alliance is highly encouraged to participate and required to hold a vote in their form of decision making body. If no request is made by one alliance which is in need of assistance, be it militarily or financially, it is still highly encouraged that the other alliance participate, although nothing is required legally.

Article V - Withdrawal
If either signatory alliance feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and diplomatic negotiations have not offered any sort of resolution, they have the right to withdraw from the treaty by the will of their respective decision making bodies. Notification of withdrawal must be given to the other signatory within 48 hours. Should this treaty be revoked by either signatory, a 48 hour grace period begins in which neither alliance may declare war on the other, after which no such rules apply.
