  1. When the first party is responding to military action or unjustified economic sanctions initiated on them by the second party; or,

Indirect Aggression: Indirect aggression shall mean:

  1. Actual or attempted acts of conspiracy, harassment, or other acts intended to cause harm; and

  2. Signatories shall provide reasonable advance notice and full details of their intentions to all other signatories prior to initiating Direct Aggression against a non-member under Article 5, paragraph 2.
  3. Signatories are required to give reasonable advance notice to all other signatories if they intend to sign any treaty requiring mutual or unilateral defense from aggression with a non-signatory.
  4. Signatories shall respect the privileged nature of all information received in such manner, and shall not disclose said information without the written permission of all signatories and OTPs directly involved, unless withholding said information would be a violation of Article 2, paragraph 1.


Article 3 - Aid[]

  1. Any signatory may request aid from other signatory for any reason. Such requests shall include the rationale for the aid request and the nature of the aid required. Provision of such aid is strictly voluntary unless withholding aid would cause a violation of Article 3, paragraph 2, and the signatory providing the aid shall determine the nature and amount of any aid they provide.
