== History of the International Concord ==
 
Negotiations on what would become the International Concord, also known as the Concord Conference, began in December, 2456 XY, first started by the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. It would take until August, 2457 XY, for the final draft of the charter to be agreed upon and ratified. The major negotiators of the Charter at the Concord Conference would be the representatives from [[Jimaria]], [[High Kingdoms of Alaxia|Kiavalar]], [[Suton]], [[Ceironia]], and [[Azyeri-Bordo|Azyeri]].
The '''International Concord''' ('''IC''') is an intergovernmental organization formed with the expressed goal of preventing war, preserving people's rights, and implementing and enforcing international law. The IC is headquartered within the sovereign [[International City]], within the International Concord Building.
 
The IC was established after the development and use of [[nuclear weapons]] by members of the [[Organization Of Free Nations|Organization of Free Nations]] (OFN) against [[Cralas]]. Negotiations on what would become the International Concord, also known as the Concord Conference, began in December, 2456 XY, first started by the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. It would take until August, 2457 XY, for the final draft of the charter to be agreed upon and ratified. The major negotiators of the Charter at the Concord Conference would be the representatives from [[Jimaria]], [[High Kingdoms of Alaxia|Kiavalar]], [[Suton]], [[Ceironia]], and [[Azyeri-Bordo|Azyeri]].
 
The IC consists of five core bodies, the [[International Concord General Assembly|General Assembly]] (ICGA), the [[International Concord Security Committee|Security Committee]] (ICSC), the [[International Concord Economic Committee|Economic Committee]] (ICEC), the [[International Concord People's Rights Committee|People's Rights Committee]] (ICPRC), and the [[International Court]] (ICIC). The IC also oversees or works alongside a number of other organizations, including the [[International Committee of the Red Crescent]] (ICRC), [[World Institution for Science and Exploration]] (WISE), [[International Aerospace Program]] (IAP), [[International Health and Disease Relief Organization]] (IHDRO), and [[International Concord Aviation Organization]] (ICAO).

{{Blockquote
[[Category:Organisations]]
|text=We, the sapients of the International Concord, are determined to save future generations from the sorrows of war, to reaffirm the rights of sapients and assuring that everyone has the dignity and worth deserved to them, to establish respect and enforcement for the various international law and treaties, to unite our strength and to maintain international peace and security, and to employ an international force to ensure that international law is followed and there is a protection of rights worldwide.
|title=Preamble
}}
{{Blockquote
|text=The functions of the International Concord can and will be used to uphold the principles and values of the organisation and it's membership. The maintenance of international peace and security will be upheld through collective measures to remove such threats. Furthermore, the organisation would ensure that the principal of equal rights and self-determination of the sapients is ensured. The goal of the organisation is to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of any form, to promote and encourage respect for human rights, and for providing fundamental freedoms.
|title=Section One, Functions
}}
{{Blockquote
|text=The principles of the International Concord are the founding ideals of the organisation that members shall follow. These are as follows: The principle of sovereign equality upon all members of the organisation. The principle of members fulfilling the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present charter in good faith. The principle of members settling their international disputes by peaceful means in order to ensure that the international peace, security and justice is not endangered - except in instances as determined by international law to justify the use of force. The principle of members refraining from the use of threat or use of force against the political independence of any state. The principle that members shall give the organisation assistance in any action it takes in accordance with the current charter, refraining from giving assistance to anything that goes against it. The principle that members should ensure that the nation states which do have membership within the organisation still abide by these principles, and so all members shall limit relations with non-members, and non-members shall remain subject to enforcement. The principle that nothing in the charter shall authorise the organisation to intervene against domestic jurisdiction and law of any member, except in such cases as otherwise specified.
|title=Section Two, Principles
}}
{{Blockquote
|text=The membership of the International Concord are nations which fulfil the following requirements: a nation state which is deemed legitimate by the majority consensus of the pre-existing members within the organisation, as determined by a public vote called during a general assembly, and as such has formally become a signatory of this charter. Once those requirements are filled, then the nation state is recognised formally as a member.
