Interkingdom Code of Conduct Treaty
Interkingdom Code of Conduct Treaty
History
In late 2015 Randall Andalsa wrote a treaty originally meant for the Burning Lands and Dragonspine.
The goal was to ensure that when one kingdom suspends one of their own members for certain items in the Code of Conduct (2, 3, and 4), that suspension carries over to the rest of the kingdoms in the treaty.
Since its implementation, a half-dozen other kingdoms have ratified it as well. The most recent was The Emerald Hills. That brings the number to 8 kingdoms participating in the treaty.
In order to join, in addition to having an Althing approve the signing of the Treaty, a kingdom must have the unanimous consent of the Kingdom Monarch, Prime Minister, and GMR.
Treaty Text
We, the kings and queens of the undersigned kingdoms of Amtgard, agree through our sovereign affirmations, the support of our prime ministers and guildmasters of reeves, and the support of our Althings to honor and share one another’s most critical Code of Conduct decisions.
From the moment of this agreement onward, and to prevent suspended individuals from traveling to other parks and continuing their harmful acts, those individuals suspended at the kingdom level in any of our kingdoms for certain enumerated acts shall be suspended at the kingdom level in all our kingdoms.
Suspensions at the kingdom level in any undersigned kingdom for items two, three and four of the Code of Conduct, here detailed, shall be honored in all undersigned kingdoms:
Physical violence outside of the normal bounds of combat conduct. Sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual contact. Theft or willful destruction of other people’s property.
This applies when the suspended individual held membership in the suspending kingdom at the time of the suspension or at any time in the six months prior.
Such suspensions shall be announced by the suspending kingdom to all kingdoms bound by this treaty with a direct communication to those kingdoms’ monarchs.
Only a suspending kingdom may reverse its own suspension. A decision to reverse shall be announced using the same protocol given above.
A reversal of a suspension in one kingdom does not reverse any additional suspensions that may be in place for that person in other kingdoms, including for the same incident of misconduct.
Nothing in this treaty precludes kingdoms from honoring suspensions beyond the scope of this treaty.
Kingdoms may annul their involvement in this treaty through a majority decision of their Althings.
