PCBaller World/Alternative United Nations

"For a complete and up-to-date list of AltUN member states, please see: PCBaller_World" The Alternative United Nations (AltUN) is an international organization that has succeeded the UN, purportedly, with the aim of providing voluntary arbitration, resolving disputes, standardizing exchange rates, and offering an international forum. In AltUN, each member state is equally represented and has equal voting power, and no AltUN mandate can be imposed on a member state against its will.

AltUN has been established not to maintain or advance peace like its predecessor, but to establish institutions for regulating fundamental international relations and cross-border law, such as Diplomatic immunity, Sea Law, Air law, and the transfer of university, among others.

Another vital component of AltUN is the provision of an international forum. To that end, a hall will be constructed at the AltUN headquarters, with its location yet to be determined, although Poland has proposed Stettin or Budapest. This hall will be utilized to facilitate member states' annual meetings, during which they can update the international community on their situations and express their opinions to the entire international community.

Provisions
CHARTER OF THE ALTERNATIVE UNITED NATIONS

Preamble: The signatory member states, recognizing the importance of maintaining peaceful international relations and promoting cooperation among nations, have agreed to abide by the following basic international laws.

Article I - International Law of Treaties:
 * All multilateral or unilateral treaties between member states shall be formatted in a standard manner, including a preamble, main articles, and an ending that indicates the languages of the original treaties.

Article II - International Law of the Sea:
 * Each member state may govern over seas up to 12 nautical miles from their coast. In cases of dispute, involved parties must settle the matter through negotiations or conflict. Maritime territory beyond 12 nautical miles up to 200 nautical miles can only be governed, under economic area status, if no opposing claims from another member state exist within a proximity of 550km from the area.

Article III - International Law of Diplomatic Immunity:
 * Member states shall provide diplomatic immunity to foreign diplomats, including immunity from criminal prosecution, immunity from civil suits, inviolability of premises, freedom of movement, and exemption from taxes (optional). Failure to opt-in for tax exemption will result in the loss of exemption for the respective member state's diplomats.

Article IV - International Law of Aviation:
 * Foreign planes cannot enter a member state's airspace without notifying the said party in advance, except in cases of extraordinary circumstances or war.

Article V - Arbitration:
 * The Alternative United Nations (AltUN) shall provide arbitration to member states in disputes via a 3-member council consisting of representatives from opposing political blocs, provided that both member states consent to the procedure.

Article VI - Exchange Rate:
 * A council consisting of economic delegates from all member states shall work together to set exchange rates between member countries. However, this does not outlaw having pegged exchange rates.

Article VII - University Transfer:
 * A council consisting of education delegates from all member states shall work together to determine the exchange of grades from pre-university institutions into points to facilitate university admissions for foreign applicants.

Article VIII - International Forum:
 * The AltUN shall construct a hall where delegates from each member state shall meet annually to present updates on the international situation of their respective countries or grievances to the international community or to listen to other member states' grievances and updates.

Article IX - Standardization of Maps:
 * A council consisting of cartographic delegates from all member states shall work together to set digital maps of the world so that GPS for public roads can be used in all countries with ease, except where the respective member state's privacy laws prohibit it.

Article X - Ratification and Accession:
 * This treaty shall be open for signature by all states and shall enter into force upon the deposit of the tenth instrument of ratification or accession. Any state may accede to this treaty upon depositing an instrument of accession with the depositary.
