Treaty clarifications
Post Body

So I'm going through this treaty trying to make it all clear and stuff. I have a few questions. These are just informal questions to figure out what you guys intended, since a new exact wording would have to be voted on obviously:

These ordinances and regulations shall be considered binding and legal in all member nations.

This seems to directly contradict the "members can choose not to enforce any directive" part at the beginning. Directives being voluntary is opposite of binding ordinance. Which do we want? I assume we want the non-binding version, from recent discussions.

All actions made by the offices established in the United Provinces shall be reviewable by the Senate.

What does this mean, exactly? I'm guessing it means the senate can overrule things that the secretary general and so forth do, yes?

The Senate is permitted to pass ordinances and regulations that are within the subject of its purview.

What is the senate's purview? It doesn't outline any limits anywhere. Should we just drop this? I feel like we should, because if following resolutions is voluntary, there doesn't seem much reason to limit what the senate can vote on, yes? (you can always just not follow whatever if you don't agree)

By signing this addition to the Clocktower Accord all signatory member states assert that they will provide the office of the Secretary of Defense with as much support as they are able.

Is this clause exempt from the "can choose not to participate selectively in U3P stuff" rule, or is it an exception to that since it's written into the treaty itself?

Also, is updating the treaty a majority vote, or unanimous, or 90%, or what? Kind of ambiguous right now.

Thanks!
