Preamble
In order to:
Create and foster political, societal, economic,
and cultural environments throughout the Solar
System which will preclude or minimize acts
of international and inter-regional aggression,
economic warfare, cultural disruption, and other
forms of active hostility between the United
Inner Planetary System (UIPS) and, separately
and collectively, Independent Nations of the Outer
Region (INOR);
Establish the framework for peaceful coexistence
within which all Nations respect the sovereignty,
territorial integrity, and political independence
of each other;
Recognize the mutuality of interests among all
peoples and Governments of the Solar System in
sharing the benefits of The Interstellar Mining and
Teleport System; and
Prepare for and extend the human experience
into interstellar space and toward the coming
Interstellar Era.
We agree to the following:
ARTICLE ONE
We reject and renounce economic, cultural and
military warfare, and the threat of warfare to
attain national and regional objectives. We will
settle all disagreements and disputes through
peaceful means.
ARTICLE TWO
We affirm that the peoples of all nations, states,
colonies, settlements, communities, howsoever they
may be designated now and in the future throughout
the Solar System and, eventually throughout the
Interstellar Realm, have ecological unity. Their
harmony is such that none are truly independent
of the others.
ARTICLE THREE
We affirm that the Solar System is the common
heritage of humankind, and all the resources of the
Solar System, now and in perpetuity, are part of
that common heritage. We agree that each Government
representing the people of a planet, satellite,
independent space entity or a legally constituted
part and collective thereof, is entitled to its
fair share of the natural resources originating
within the Solar System or acquired from other
star systems. Such resources will be available,
proportionately, from the Common Reserve in
conformance with a nation's or government's
verified needs and technological capabilities to
utilize the resources for peaceful and beneficial
purposes.
