Free Sovereign's Universal Treaty Organization Essay

1 - Treaties

FSUTO is an organization of individual sovereign persons who voluntarily join together in mutually agreeable treaty contracts. Sovereign persons who belong to governments in which the person gives the right to be represented by one's government within FSUTO will still retain individual sovereignty though through all dealings with other governments the government itself will be treated as a sovereign, though in actuality it is not, it is a representative of sovereigns; in FSUTO only the individual person is sovereign under law.
   An individual who is independent and governs oneself will be treated equally as a government with other governments. The important thing is that every single person who is a member of FSUTO has voluntarily joined and has either signed the treaty oneself or has signed one's consent over to the government of one's choice and has given that government the authority to sign treaties and is thereby bound by it.
   All legitimate law must be based on the consent of the governed, all of the governed, sovereign persons are not to be treated as potential criminals who have to be coerced and controlled to force them to behave honestly or to be presumed to be incompetent or irresponsible, FSUTO considers the sovereign person as fully capable of governing one's own life and regulating one's activities with other people through mutual consent.
   A sovereign individual or an entity or government acting with the consent of the sovereign person may sign all of the FSUTO treaties or any one of them, in some cases it is possible to sign on to only specific articles or clauses in a particular treaty or to negotiate a new or different treaty or different articles or clauses that still fit into the scope and intent of the original FSUTO treaty, though the wording and some of the terms may be different, the basic concept of a new contract should be consistent with the FSUTO treaty under which it gives jurisdiction.
   Signing one treaty or signing a contract based on a particular article or clause or negotiating an original contract binds the parties only to that particular treaty, article, clause or contract and in no way is anyone bound to any other part of any of the other treaties, except where it is explicitly defined and cross-referenced to the applicable treaty, article or clause.

   The purpose of FSUTO is to provide a means for settling disputes between people living under different government jurisdictions, FSUTO treaties must be negotiated and are flexible, they may be applied differently depending on the different agreements between members, as long as they don't compromise the sovereignty of its members or preclude them from effectively obtaining justice against violators of their laws or being able to satisfactorily settle their disputes.
   Librademia and its civil governments have no absolute geographical territory, they exist only on the property and within the person who chooses to become a civilzen and have jurisdiction over that person's property and activities, though they are not really virtual, they rule real physical territory, the property of the civilzens who belong to it. FSUTO provides the reach beyond those governments to enforce the rightful laws of each government as long as they are not imposed on other jurisdictions by providing the means for self-governing sovereigns to arrest and bring to justice those who choose to violate their laws. FSUTO respects the right of all individuals to have their own self-government, to choose a government or to live as a government onto oneself.
   The main problem of conflict between FSUTO treaty provisions and some other libertarians and anarchists is the issues of children's rights and abortion. Those remain the most decisive issues among libertarians, with widely varying beliefs, within Libertocracy those issues are also the most contentious. We have made clear our position on them in the Librademian Essay on the Rights of Persons. They are likely to create some problems in reconciling different beliefs with other libertarians.
   The FSUTO Human Rights treaty upholds the Librademian definition of children's rights for the most part, though they allow children to assume their full adult rights if a child can prove one's capacity to make decisions on the level of an adult and take full responsibility for them, the status of an adult may only be achieved if the parents have broken their filial contract with their child by abuse or abandonment. So as long as the child is mature enough to consent, is one's choice and is completely voluntary, it is allowable. It allows children to make decisions for themselves with their parent's permission, so that children may engage in certain behaviors that are not allowed in Librademia if the child chooses to do it and the parents give their permission, but the parents must not use coercion, pressure or rewards or withholding of affection or respect to get children to behave in ways which corrupt the child. The FSUTO treaties are to protect the child from those perverse and immoral behaviors that parents sometimes lead their children into through various forms of coercion or withholding of respect or affection or by denying them other opportunities. People who want to live in a free society will have to learn to respect the right of their children to be free to be themselves, particularly the right of boys and girls to the behave in ways that are natural and appropriate to their sex identity without suffering persecution from parents, family members and society to pervert their behavior or fail to exercise guidance that may lead them into self destructive behaviors such as drug abuse or prostitution.


The FSUTO inter-governmental treaty forms a superstructure of government between sovereign members, as each individual is a member of one's own supreme government by consent, the person consents to join the FSUTreaty Organization by signing any of the treaties. As government is an agreement and a service to protect and uphold each other's rights, every just action of that government must be consistent with its premise, the government must serve the people, it must never be allowed to subjugate people into being its servant.

2 - Contracts

All persons are by nature equally free and sovereign, they have certain inherent rights which are exercised in the freedom to pursue their own happiness according to their own choices, to enter into contractual associations and consensual governments. The choices an individual makes cannot deprive or divest one's children or grandchildren the enjoyment of life or liberty, or deny them their right of acquiring property, pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety or impose on them the government of their ancesters or deny them their right to negotiate their own contracts and treaties.

Legal systems are a superstructure erected upon an underlying structure of self-governing systems, such as families, social associations, economic interactions, communities, nations and civil governments founded and operated through consensual contracts. They have as their basis natural self-enforcing rights which are under the maintenance and protection of individuals themselves, who together uphold those rights through the simple realization that cooperation within any civilized society must be based on mutual consent and respect for basic rights, that to violate any of these rights will destroy their consensual government and endanger their own rights.
   Since contracts are formed for the mutual benefit of its members, people who don't respect other's rights don't deserve to benefit from any of the resources or products of the contractual organization.
For any contract to be lawful and enforceable each person must voluntarily sign it, it must either be explicitly or implicitly joined into by voluntarily joining an association or organization which is a member of the contractual organization. But this implicit membership cannot be assumed merely through association but must be consciously entered into by the person giving one's permission to accept the agreed upon definition or rights and laws that are clearly understood and allowing by consent the government to enforce those laws by entrusting one's self and property to the jurisdiction of that government.
   Each member is in an implicit contract with each of the other members to respect some agreed upon set of terms by reason that each member to some degree is using the resources of other members who have voluntarily contributed those resources into an organized system in which they have agreed to share those resources only under certain predetermined upon set of rules.

Any organization that is based on deception or luring people into associations or confiscating their property or in using other people's resources in ways that is in violation of the owner of the resources terms for use is not a legitimate contract, it is unenforceable because the person has not consented to give jurisdiction to that authority to regulate one's interactions with others and since it's based on coercion and the threat of force it has no more moral legitimacy, according to moral codes, than the obligation to pay off an extortion racket.

The social contract is transitive in that it extends to and includes not only those with whom one is in direct contact, but all those who interact with persons or entities with whom one is directly involved, thereby passing on acceptance of the contract through complex interactions throughout an organized society. However, no contract may be imposed on third persons, the contract is passed on only through acceptance between two or more parties who come to an agreement among themselves, their contract cannot be imposed on others with whom they merely associate.
For the contract to be applied to others, the others must consciously enter into the contract. If a person shares one's resources with someone outside of the contract, then the outsider has not become a member of the contract simply by accepting what is offered by the member, however, the member may have by sharing those resources, violated their contract, and if this is so, the outsider is beyond the authority of the contractual organization, instead, the contract member may be held liable for misuse of contractual resources, because the member chose to join the organization, the member is solely responsible for the use of contractual resources.

A - Explicit Contracts
Explicit contracts are in a written form that enumerate the terms and conditions to be met or performed and is voluntarily signed by both or all parties. Since the contract is signed, witnesses are not absolutely necessary, though having witnesses better insures enforceability of the contract in a court of law.

B - Implicit Contracts
Implicit contracts are non-written contracts, which may be; verbal or understood as a contract when one enters onto another's property or into an organization, activity or association, for there to be a contract in such a case the terms and conditions of the contract must be clearly understood by all parties entering into the assumed contract. All verbal contracts are completely legally binding, the same as written contracts, except, that in verbal contracts there is a need for a witness to verify that both or all parties understood the contract and entered into it voluntarily, an absence of a witness means that a verbal contract is unenforceable in a court of law, the verbal contract itself is real and is not voided by not having a witness, but it is made null because of its unenforcability.
   Other forms of implicit contracts in which people consciously enter into associations must be clearly understood by all parties, if a person enters another's property and clearly understands that to do so is to accept the laws, rules and conditions of the owner of that property, then this person enters into an implicit contract, such a contract is completely enforceable without witnesses, because if the guest should violate the laws or conditions set by the property owner, then the property owner may enforce one's own punishment on the guest; such punishment may only come in the form of exclusion from the property or seizure of any assets put under common trusts by the parties involved or some form of censure or ostracism, the FSUTO-Human Rights Treaty and the Constitution of Librademia which are social contracts entered into by all members voluntarily, forbid retribution in the form of violence against people for merely breaking civil agreements; of course should the guest threaten violence or steal the owner's property then the owner may respond with any defensive force.
   Other associations such as joining into an activity or entering a party or any other social group or club may involve assuming contractual agreements merely by the choice to enter into the association.
All implicit contracts must be founded by private property owners which offer their terms to people to either accept or reject voluntarily, there can be no implicit contracts imposed on people merely by everyday or free association, people who live in the same vicinity with each other or associate with each other in their travels or informal conversations are not bound to any common contract, people who have a common ancestral heritage or who live on land that has traditionally been identified as belonging to a nation are not bound to any common contract.
To organize communities, nations or other cultural groups under a contract requires that all persons voluntarily inter into it by their own choice, and if other people should choose to enter any spaces controlled by those individuals who have formed this contractual association, then those people choose to enter into an implicit contract, but in no way may this contract be imposed on other people's property or freely chosen associations.

Filial Contracts
Children live under an implied filial contract with their parents, a contract which is accepted by the child accepting the love, protection, food, shelter and other gifts of the parents. When a child reaches adulthood the filial contract of childhood comes to an end; the child is now an adult fully capable of making responsible choices equally with other free adults; any other contracts; filial, civil or otherwise must be made under the same equal terms as described above that applies to all free people. Parents may not pass on their contracts to their children against their children's will, a parent's choice of civilzenship or citizenship is strictly their own choice and must be kept to themselves, the child may be considered a junior or temporary civilzen or citizen by being under the government of one's parents, but of course, when a child reaches adulthood that person is free to enter into one's own contracts and to choose one's own civilzenship. Nothing that the parent has chosen to perform or accept from any organization, government, or state may be imposed on the child as any type of obligation; such imposition is slavery. Any assumed implicit contract that tries to impose any obligations or conditions on children that extends into adulthood is non existent, it is null and void.

   Contracts formed by people in the past such as constitutions, conditions of living within a nation, ethnic or religious group which was made by distant ancesters is none existent in the present, such a contract applied only to those ancesters who voluntarily entered into it and that contract came to an end when the last of its signatories died. No person may impose the contractual agreements of one's own distant ancesters on other living people in the present, such an idea is absurd and a complete travesty against contractual law. Old constitutions formed and signed by dead people are not enforceable on anyone, they are null and void, none existent. For a constitution to be passed on to other generations, people must voluntarily sign it, not implicitly, but explicitly sign the constitution without any form of threats, coercion, force or denial of the right to form one's own constitutional government under one's own terms, and without seizing one's private.property or denying the person the right to use one's own property and to freely engage in business or the choose to put one's sovereign property under the jurisdiction of one's chosen government. When constitutions are passed on from one generation to the other by voluntary acceptance, the constitution will exist as long as people consent to participate in it, they may not in any way impose it on other people or use it to commit criminal acts such as theft (taxation), wars (terrorism, mayhem and mass murder), state eminent domain (armed seizure of private property) or claiming to rule whole territories which include private properties that do not belong to them or trying to use the constitution to impose their nationality or religion on others.
   A constitution is a socio-political contract formed by people who voluntarily enter into the constitutional contract by their own free will, fully understanding its definition of rights, laws and terms, it applies only to those people who choose to accept it, it may not be imposed on other people against their will, other people have the same right to form their own constitutional contracts to govern themselves in mutual consent societies, merely having associations with people under different governments, such as visiting their property or engaging in business with them does not mean that a person is a signatory to their constitution and has not through implication become a civilzen (citizen), though it does mean that the person entering into that constitutional space is bound to abide by that constitution and its laws and that one is subject to its punishment for breaking them.

As Lysander Spooner said in speaking about the fraudulent social contract on which some states base their constitutions; "Since we ourselves did not sign the contract we are not bound by it."

In free societies there is a superstructure of consensual contracts that govern interactions between sovereign individuals on many different levels, a constitution governs only the sovereign property and activities of its members, which, when foreigners choose to enter that contractually space they are bound to obey it but they have not by implication chosen to join it and to submit one's whole life and property to the government of someone else's constitution. Explicit public contracts are formed by private property owners creating a public space under a contract which defines the public conditions.
   Implicit public contracts are those in which people enter into a public space that has been formed from private property through free consensual associations, people who enter this public space and clearly understand the rules and terms of the space have given their consent to abide by them and they may set their terms for punishment, which is only restricted by human rights law as described in the FSUTO-IGT: Sec.II;Art.3,Cl.(H).
Public spaces or property that has been formed through, theft (taxation), state eminent domain, coercion, force or other criminal acts is not a legal contract and any assumption that it is false.

In business, implicit contracts are those in which transactions are made under clearly understood terms, signing a contract is not necessary for every single transaction or business association, acceptance of clear and honest conditions between the parties involved is all that is necessary for the contract to be considered legal; though, this definition should apply mostly to transactions between merchants and consumers, because, when people go into business together or are transacting a large and important deal, they need to sign a contract with witnesses to protect all parties and enforce it in a court of law.

To enforce implicit contracts merely requires that the plaintiff show that the person voluntarily entered into a contractual agreement, that the person clearly understood its terms and conditions and that there was no coercion, force or deception used to get the person to accept the contract. For the claimant to impose a punishment or collect damages for the breaking of the contract, the respondent must have in some way given permission to the claimant to punish one for breaking the contract, this means that there must be a clearly understood terms of punishment or restitution for breaking the contract. If the implied contract clearly included conditions of punishment and the respondent accepted this, then the respondent is bound by it, and restitution may be guaranteed if the respondent has chosen to put one's assets within a contract insurance trust that allows the claimant to claim damages (such a contract insurance trust exists for all FSUTO members and Librademian civilzens).
   If an alien enters into an implied contract and then breaks that contract, then if the alien has not put any of one's assets within a legal trust, then there is no way of collecting damages, the implied contract still exists but the contractual conditions for restitution are null. The contractual owner may however, punish the transgressor in ways which involve control of property or associations of the contracter, which may include exclusion from the contracters property in the future or from any association which the contracter has with other people or entities.

3 - Law

(A) The government of FSUTO is a Libercratic contractocracy. The civilzens make all laws through contractual consensus. There are no elected representatives who are allowed to make laws. The protection for minorities and the individual from abuse is the fact that this is a government based on the consent of the governed, when a person becomes a civilzen one knows and accepts all of its laws and has an equal share in making any new laws, and for the non-civilzen living outside of FSUTO on one's own sovereign property, no law can be imposed on them, all laws in FSUTO are defensive, they protect individual's freedom from the actions of others.
   Contractual negotiations are restricted only to questions of how to further define and refine freedom so as to better protect people's rights and create more opportunity. Nothing else is even allowed to be up for negotiation, any attempt to put people's rights up for negotiation or up to a vote is unconstitutional. Sovereigns will not tolerate the indignity of having their rights voted on by other people. If a civilzen decides that the new laws being made are unfair; then that person may renounce one's civilzenship, and keep all that one owns as sovereign property. To further protect one's rights, one may form one's own government outside of Liberdemia and establish recognition and diplomatic contacts in order to insure peaceful relations and settle any conflicts in the opposing sets of laws. Of course, the Treaties of FSUTO will always be enforced by its civilzens to protect their rights, this prevents anyone from starting a state or a military that threatens other people's rights.

(B) Treaty law is the law of the sovereigns' governments, the treaty itself does not make law although there are laws that arise within the treaty which are a compilation of laws which exist between the sovereign's governments.
For there to be a crime there must be a violation of a sovereign jurisdiction, when this occurs the jurisdiction will prosecute the offense, if a crime is committed across sovereign's borders, the victims and the accused may agree to prosecute in one jurisdiction or if they can't agree on which jurisdiction, then there must be a joint investigation and joint trial.
Under the IGT, the victims of different jurisdictions must get the consent of the accused to hold the trial in one of the victims' jurisdiction. Otherwise there must be a joint trial, with a neutral court set up, with a neutral joint grand jury and a neutral joint judgeship and a neutral joint petit jury, all of which must be composed of civilzens from a jurisdiction other than those of any of the victims or the accused. Of course, the plaintiffs and accused may choose one's own legal counsel from any civilzenship. If the plaintiffs or the accused can't afford counsel, then one must be provided from a jurisdiction of the person's own choosing.

It is against treaty law to transport products which are illegal in one jurisdiction into another jurisdiction in violation of the jurisdiction's laws. Both to smuggle illegal goods into a jurisdiction in which it is against the law to do so and to smuggle goods out in which it is illegal to remove them from that jurisdiction. It is illegal to transport or traffic in stolen goods and it's illegal to harbor or aid a fugitive who is fleeing justice from a another member government's jurisdiction.

Treaty persons and entities operating in a jurisdiction are subject to its laws and litigation.

Treaty members should identify themselves to visiters, clients and customers so that people may know under what laws they are operating and know where and how to file damage claims. Each person, entity or government who signs the treaty should clearly mark their territory so that visiters are informed of the laws that apply in that jurisdiction, they should also identify the treaties to which they are a party.
   Under the FSUTO law failure to identify one's territorial spaces and provide necessary legal information to the public in a way that is designed to conceal or deceive constitutes a violation of the Treaty and therefore treaty member governments agree under this clause; that people who are foreigners that violate the laws of that government will not be subject to prosecution if the government has tried to conceal it's territorial jurisdiction or has deceptively covered the borders of it's territory or lured or trapped someone into the commission of a crime. If a person should enter a property, space or association, where there was no markings or information provided, if it can be shown that the person entered said space with a clear knowledge and understanding of the implied contractual terms of doing so and later violated some code of the contract then that person will be fully subject to its provisions. In the absence of clearly marked jurisdictions, if a person should commit a crime against another person while visiting the foreign jurisdiction, that jurisdiction may prosecute the offender only for those crimes which are also crimes under the Librademia Laws which are accepted by Treaty members as the default legal code. Ignorance of the laws of Librademia is no excuse for an offender.
   For other legal codes to be in effect against non-civilzens the government should clearly identify itself and its laws so that visiters are not deceived or entrapped, but clearly understand what is or is not allowed in certain jurisdictions. Also; persons, entities or governments who are treaty members that do not identify their spaces as being under the authority of the appropriate treaty agree, that, under this clause; people who commit actions that would be in violation of the treaty will not be sued or otherwise punished because, through no fault of their own, the visiters did not know that the treaty was in effect in that space. Jurisdictions have only to mark their jurisdictions in a reasonable way, they need not have signs everywhere, because when a person travels onto territories or spaces in which the person knows to be foreign it is the obligation of the visiter to find out what is the jurisdiction of this territory and under what treaties they are operating, and what are their laws, so therefore, the jurisdiction need only provide identification in a place where the visiter would expect to find that identification. The identification should also include information or a reference to get information on the jurisdiction's laws and treaties.

(C) Common Law
The role of common law in FSUTO is very limited and restricted. The IGTO should govern as little as possible, leaving that duty to supreme and civil governments. Its most difficult for a large inter-governmental organization to interpret common law and for that reason it should be applied with an understanding of only the broadest accepted common law standards. Common law should never be used to extend the reach of the law or to shape or mold the law or its application in ways it was not explicitly intended to be used. Instead, in FSUTO, common law interpretation should only be used to fill in the gray areas that lie within explicit contracts and codified laws, since it is the only duty of FSUTO to take the contracts and laws of member governments and interpret their intended meaning without adding to or subtracting from that meaning.

(D) Enforcement
The act of merely signing a contract is not sufficient in itself to insure compliance, a person must, besides signing the contract, take the action of placing oneself, property and assets under the jurisdiction of the consensually accepted authority that will ensure compliance for all members and enforce the treaty agreements on all. When a person assigns the authority to this entity the person gives over to the authority access to one's assets in the form of an insurance trust so as to provide legal protection to other members.
   Because a litigation suit arises out of contractual associations, to be sued one must give one's permission to be sued. When a person signs a treaty contract one places one's assets into an insurance trust that gives permission to be sued, provides the mechanism to compel appearance in court to answer charges or claims and a means of restitution for anyone claiming damages. The amount of assets that are placed under an insurance trust should be sufficient to cover any potential damages arising out of interactions between members, persons who are taking on responsibilities that may result in greater liability then one can afford to cover, may purchase insurance coverage from an insurance company who collects premiums and accepts the risk.

(E) Litigation Suits
People in a free society where individuals are free agents and have no government watching them as if they were an immature child and not responsible for their own behavior. Therefore since FSUTO forbids the use of force except as a defense against violence, the only way to make people pay up for debts and non-criminal liability is through contract insurance.

4 - Foreign Policy

Treaty member's policy toward alien persons, entities and governments is to live and let live. Sovereign individuals will govern themselves and control their own property and exercise their natural right to defend themselves and their property against any violations by others.
   Alien governments who violate sovereigns' rights will be punished in every way that can legally and realistically be accomplished. Aliens should be punished for these violations in ways that are appropriate to the offense; to let the punishment fit the crime.
   Alien authorities who interfere with communications with attempted censorship or regulation of the free and open air waves, should themselves be restricted from using communications lines owned by sovereign's entities and alien governments who impose customs checks or random searches on free travelers, should themselves be restricted from freely traveling through sovereigns' territory. Governments who impose taxation should have to pay duties or tariffs, which are essentially fines, in order to trade in sovereign's economies. Alien governments who unjustly arrest innocent people who have committed no real crime against anyone's rights should have their government's employees arrested upon setting foot on sovereigns' property, these employees of a criminal organization can be punished or they can be used as bargaining chips to win the release of the innocent persons who are unjustly being held captive.
   All actions against aliens must be purely defensive, it should not be provocative nor interfering in aliens' activities. Violence should be avoided and used only as a last resort to defend people's lives. Injustices committed by alien government's against sovereign's property should be fought using non violent means, as long as no violence is threatened against the sovereign person, the alien authorities should notify the sovereign person of their intention to invade that person's property but the alien authorities should not make a move against the person that is aggressive or threatening of violence. If an innocent sovereign person is unjustly arrested, every available political, economic, diplomatic and dienforcation strategy should be employed to win the person's release. Instead, alien authorities should notify the suspect's government and present evidence to that government as to why the alien authority believes that the suspect is wanted and ask the sovereign's government to issue a warrant for that person. Any arrest or subpoena to appear as a litigant or witness must be processed through the legitimate legal channels of the sovereign's government or FSUTO.

FSUTO is a government based firmly on the concept of universal human rights and even though aliens don't belong to FSUTO their rights will be equally respected with those of FSUTO members and while aliens may not be obliged to comply with all laws or regulations that is entered into voluntarily by FSUTO members, those aliens who are traveling on FSUTO property will be considered to have implicitly consented to accept FSUTO laws and regulations by their choice to travel on FSUTO property.
   There should not be very many cases of conflicts between sovereigns and aliens as long as each respects each other's boundaries and lives by a policy of live and let live and does not impose or extend one's activities onto the other's property, including not engaging in behavior that directly threatens one's neighbors or imposes pollution on one's neighbors or otherwise disrupt the general environment.
   When action has to be taken by FSUTO members in self defense against alien aggression after warning and asking the aliens to cease the threatening or trespassing behavior and giving the aliens the chance to talk and negotiate for a settlement, the aliens will be accorded the same respect for their rights as for FSUTO members and if police or defense action is taken against an alien the alien will have exactly the same rights as far as protection against a warrantless search and the alien is entitled to the same protections when being put under arrest or held in custody and all of those rights, entitlements and protections listed in the Librademian Constitution which is the default constitution for FSUTO.
   The exception is that an alien waging war against any FUSTO member will be accorded no respect at all. When a defensive action is taken against alien property however, the action will be intended to stop the alien from threatening or trespassing against sovereign's property and if the alien is on alien territory at the time and since the alien is not a FSUTO member, the alien might not be arrested or tried for trespasses against sovereign's property if the alien ceases the trespassing activity immediately and agrees to live and let live in good faith in the future. FSUTO authorities will simply stop the trespassing or polluting activities or prevent the alien from acquiring the means to continue violating sovereign's rights, the exception is when an alien directly threatens the life of a sovereign, then the alien may be arrested on alien property with a warrant and brought to into FSUTO jurisdiction to stand trial.
   Also aliens who have committed crimes against sovereigns and have fled to alien territory in which there is no recognized government and the alien person has made no effort to form a legitimate government by one's self or other recognized governments, and has not entered into good faith negotiations toward signing a treaty or contractual agreement with one's neighbors, then FSUTO authorities may invade alien territory to arrest the suspect or otherwise confiscate stolen property or prevent actions that threaten sovereign's rights.
   If the alien has established a government of oneself or formed one with others and by doing so has signed a treaty or contract with another recognized government, then FSUTO authorities may not invade this recognized sovereign territory but will request that either the foreign government try the suspect or turn over evidence or remove threatening or trespassing actions from the property or extradite the accused or hand over such property as named in the warrant. Compliance with these requests will take place according to mutually accepted treaty or contractual agreements. Under no circumstances may any government invade any other sovereign's property except in self defense.
   The reason why government authorities may go into alien territory to arrest a suspect or retrieve property is because if an alien does not claim sovereignty over one's property by declaring one's own self government in a way that is legitimate and is founded on respect for other's sovereignty and the accepted understanding of universal human rights, then in fact that alien does not truly have sovereignty over one's property and does not live within a legitimate government since all private property ownership is derived from sovereign control over one's property through one's own self government or entry into another legitimate government and by doing so governing one's interactions with others through mutually accepted treaties or contractual agreements.

With the unanimous consent of the members of FSUTO, we declare these Treaties shall supercede all existing state constitutions, charters, acts, laws, statutes, regulations, or ordinances, particularly if they are contradictory to the principles and laws of FSUTO members and shall be rendered null and void, holding no authority or obligation binding among FSUTO members.

5 - Inter-Governmental

(A) The FSUTO-IGT Organization is not an independent government entity unto itself, it is a joint operation government dependent on and operated by the sovereigns' governments. It can not make laws on its own nor can it enact policies or operate programs on its own, it is merely an operating structure which enables the sovereigns' governments to work together jointly on mutually agreed upon terms to enforce their own laws and cooperate on policies and programs that serve their interests. Nothing that the Inter-Governmental Organization does may in any way violate the sovereigns' governments laws or the rights of its civilzens, it may not impose any form of taxation or regulate any activity of its sovereign members.
   To be legitimate, courts and the procedures of trials must be based on voluntary association, negotiation and agreement, rather than on coercion. Persons who are members of FSUTO have by joining it given their permission to accept its government and courts; and aliens who travel into FSUTO jurisdiction have implied their consent to accept its terms. However, any alien who infringes on the person or property of another across FSUTO borders may be subject to a requirement for restitution by the damaged person.

(B) Crimes Committed Across Borders
While crimes that are committed across sovereigns' borders may be investigated and tried in joint courts, rarely should this be necessary because any crime has to be a trespass against a person or one's property or lawful activities which usually occurs in a particular jurisdiction. If someone commits crimes across borders then that offender should be tried in the court of jurisdiction where the offense occurred. If their is a dispute as to who has jurisdiction, then both member governments have given their prior consent to allow the case to be tried in a joint-court.
  If a crime that was committed across borders results in separate crimes being committed against more than one victim or more than one crime committed against a victim, then trespasses against both borders have been committed and therefore the offender may be tried separately for each separate crime, against each victim, committed in each jurisdiction, but may not be tried for the same crime against the same victim(s) in more than one jurisdiction. If the victims come from different jurisdictions and they can't decide where to prosecute the case, then they must prosecute jointly in the IGO courts and hold a joint trial. If the accused is tried jointly by all victims and is acquitted then the accused may not be tried again in any of the victim's separate jurisdictions. If other victims of the same crime decline to join in the prosecution of that particular offense, and if the accused is acquitted, then the other victims have given up their right to prosecute that particular crime in the future. This, obviously is to prevent double jeopardy. However if the accused is tried and acquitted by the victim in one jurisdiction, it does not prevent other victims of other crimes that may have occurred as a result of the crime for which the accused was acquitted from prosecuting in other jurisdictions.
   In the case of a crime being committed electronically (through lines of communication), the offense may be considered to be different in different jurisdictions, it may be a crime in one but not in others or the penalties may be different. In this case the accused may only be tried once for the commission of a particular offense, which may be called by different legal codes. The different jurisdictions may agree to prosecute in one of their jurisdictions; if they can't agree, then it will be prosecuted jointly.
If there is more than one victim from different jurisdictions of a single offense (regardless of what it is called by different legal codes), the accused may only be tried once for that particular offense. All victims must be named in the prosecution or those victims who are not will give up their right to prosecute the offense in the future.

In all criminal cases, the victim who was most harmed by the offense has precedence over other victims in charging and prosecuting the case and the jurisdiction in which an offense was committed that regards the offense as the most severe will have precedence over other jurisdictions. That means that regardless of where the case is held, the victim who is most severely harmed will be guaranteed the right to prosecute the case under that victim's own legal codes and sentences, even if the trial is held in an IGO court. Because, if the governments can't agree to the site, the IGO will automatically have to charge the accused with the most sever offense and pursue the most severe sentence. The victim most harmed may agree to plea bargain the offense down to be more likely to get a conviction. The other victims will, of course, receive their share of recompensatory damages.

(C) Inter-governmental Operations
Each government chooses its own representatives to the Inter-Governmental Organization who will carry out the mandates and policies of the members. The legitimate role of the IGO is strictly limited to carrying out those purposes clearly explained in the FSUTO-IGTreaty. The treaty allows a wide range of operating procedures and, though the Librademian government is the default model to be used for the operating procedure of the IGO, the members through their representatives may vote to change the operating procedure in any way that does not violate the treaty or trespass on the sovereignty of its members.

6 - Security

(A) Signatories to SUDAPT have pledged their support for joint security operations but they have not in any way accepted any obligation to provide any resources, money or personnel to any joint security operation. The joint security organization is to provide an operating structure for its members to freely contribute to their mutual security interests, every single operation requires mutual consent of all individual people who are members of FSUTO.
(B) Dienforcade
Dienforcade is an operating procedure for the defense of Sovereign's governments and as Dienforcade is the enforcement of peace and human rights and the defense of legitimate governments, no crimes against innocent people may be committed by using defense as an excuse. We are not defending some inhuman entity without rights, we are defending human rights itself and in no way can violating human rights be justified in defending human rights. Member security services will be held accountable by other member's security services who participate in mutual enforcement of any FSUTO Treaty as well as their own laws, since the Joint Security Organization does not have sovereignty on its own nor does it have any independent authority of its own, it will be held accountable to all of its members and if some members were to violate the SUDAPTreaty by committing crimes against innocent people, then the other members would join together to defend themselves against an enemy who would threaten them.
(C) Peace
The ultimate goal of the Joint Security Organization is to maintain peace and uphold human rights at the same time, and of course these two goals are absolutely necessary to each other, all operations of the joint security service is to create, maintain or to enforce peace against those who would destroy it.
Alien authorities who want peace should respect human rights freedom.
(D) Working Together
Security services may be provided either privately or by governments, either way they will be treated equally in their opportunity to provide the services that people want. All security service providers must compete with each other to provide the best services at the most cost efficient price and at the same time they must cooperate in fulfilling their duty to provide security, only through cooperation can they succeed and those who cooperate better will succeed the most.
(E) Mutual Defense
FSUTO has a centralized command structure, but under that each sovereign government has their own forces, under their command, because there are many forces, including private forces, they is extremely difficult to conquer. Even if one government's official forces where to be defeated, all of the other FSUTO members will continue fighting against the enemy for the ultimate salvation of the government who has lost its defense force, and all of the private forces will continue to fight as well as small groups and individuals within the governments, so that government will not be defeated at all, its government will continue to function among the civilzens, because the civilzens are the government, and it will still have numerous defense forces still fighting, so in reality the enemy will find that they can't really defeat any of our governments, because the people are the government and the other governments will continue to fight for them, private groups will fight them and individuals in many households will own and train to use assault weapons, so they will face the overwhelming task of having to conquer not a central government, because FSUTO, Librademia and other government have no physical capital to conquer, but they will have to conquer and subdue an entire society of freedom loving people, many of whom are willing to fight to the death rather than submit.
  
FSUTO members must join forces to defend all of its members from the tyranny of the state, some non-violent strategies for doing this includes; making public speeches, petitioning, writing letters to the print media, distribution of literature, public demonstrations, boycotts, student and workers' strikes, refusal to pay taxes, refusal to accept state money, writing and calling political office holders to protest injustice, draft resistance, deliberate bureaucratic inefficiency, incitement of desertion, etc.
   Gene Sharp, a leading proponent of non-violent, civilian based defense, has outlined two different strategies that involve a "nonviolent Blitzkrieg" -- a policy of total non-cooperation, resistance, a general strike, refusal to submit to political commands and massive protests -- and as an alternative, the less dramatic but more sustainable "selective resistance" -- looking to certain institutions and groups for protection and defense and targeting specific enemy institutions and policies for defiance and protest. Human rights defense aims to shield every individual from all oppression, both foreign and domestic, but it is the domestic threat within states that is more constant. 

7 - Human Rights

All persons within the treaty are protected by the rights defined in the Librademian Constitution, a person may alter or waive any of those rights or define them in another way simply by choosing a different constitution. However, no member government may perform any act that is in direct violation of those rights as defined in the Librademian Constitution unless their civilzens or visiters specifically alter or waive the right in question and fully understand the consequences of doing so.

Sovereignty
All rights, as far as the FSUTO is concerned, is completely a matter of individual sovereignty. While a person may choose to join any government a person may also choose to remain an independent self-governing sovereign. Persons who are a government unto themselves are to be treated equally within FSUTO with other governments composed of millions of civilzens.
An independent sovereign is a country onto oneself, an authority to make laws and establish relations  and to govern one's interactions with others through contractual agreements, such is the basis of all legitimate government.

8 - Economy

(A) The laissez faire nature of the treaty economy must not be compromised by any intrusive regulations. Regulations may exist only to insure freedom of enterprise. Each sovereign member may operate one's own economic activities without interference and in no way may any Treaty Organization regulation extend to member's sovereign economies. As a sovereign member brings one's economic activity into the FET Organization the free enterprise nature will be maintained but there will be externally applied rules and regulations which may not be imposed internally so as to allow members to have total operational control over their business entities. The rules and regulations will only apply to the FET organized economy of which the member choose to put their businesses and activities. These regulations do not apply to a member's business outside of FETO who operates a part of one's business in FETO. The regulations will be in the form of preventing any activity that infringes or obstructs the free participation of other individuals and firms in the economy; such as non-discrimination and anti-collusion regulations and regulations to prevent fraud and in other ways to protect consumers as well as regulations for occupational safety.
The FET an the Social Contract is the only just way of satisfactorily providing for equal opportunity, minimum wage, workers safety as well as other social benefits such as health insurance, retirement and family leave.
Private contracts can regulate activities more intricately and precisely than any supreme or public government will ever be capable of doing. With private contracts both parties are satisfied because its arrived at by negotiated consent. Through private contracts many things such as property zoning, privatizing the roads, nature preserves and socially harmful activities can be privatized and controlled.

(B) Coordination
Coordination between individuals and firms who may be operating from different economic organizations will be under the direction of the FETO which will directly regulate monetary transactions and banking operations and services within the FETreaty Organization and they will regulate investitures as well as having the responsibility for overseeing occupational safety, consumer protection and enforcing voluntary contractual agreements between participating members.

(C) Exchanges
Monetary transactions will be conducted in a manner as described in the FSUTO monetary system.
Within this economy anyone may create their own money as long as it is backed by something of real value and is fully insured as described in that document. Anyone may operate a bank and provide banking services as well as investitures and insurance services as long as it is in compliance with FET.

(D) Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is an entitlement in FSUTO and as such it comes with conditions, those conditions are that persons or entities who seek intellectual property protection must be responsible for (aa) making sure that all of the information stated in the patent, trademark or copyright must be completely honest; (bb) respecting the lawful intellectual property claims of others; (cc) they must not use their intellectual property to commit crimes or to directly support or fund the commission of crimes in a way in which the intellectual property is directly supporting the criminal activity. If a person commits crimes but doesn't directly use the intellectual property in the commission of the crime and doesn't directly use the profits that come from the intellectual property to support criminal activity then that person may not have one's claim to intellectual property terminated or infringed upon.
When one receives intellectual property protection it comes with these terms and to violate any of the terms is to forfeit one's claim.
   The protection for intellectual property applies to all persons and entities within FSUTO who participate in the various public economies, not only FETO, but it also applies to all member's sovereign economies. No one may publicly distribute or sell any protected property nor claim authorship of such property.
   Persons may freely use protected property for their own private enjoyment in any way they choose but they may not reproduce it for the purpose of distribution or in any way use it for personal profit.
Though the national economies are largely private associations, in the case of intellectual property they will be considered as public economies and, therefore it is illegal for persons or entities to use any protected intellectual property without the expressed consent of the owner in a way that would be considered public within the reference frame of the national economy.
It is unlawful to use intellectual property within any publicly organized activity for the purpose of distribution or resale or advertising or other personal gain or public entertainment without the author's permission including a prohibition against intellectual property exploitation in underground economies.

9 - Public Safety

People are responsible for themselves in FSUTO and as such they are responsible for their own property. All private safety regulations must be made through contracts. Public safety is protected by the FSUTO-PST contract as well as the member government's laws. Public safety by definition means that regulations apply externally at the point where a threat or action enters the public sector, they cannot invade sovereign private property, if a private property owner is doing something that is directly threatening one's neighbors then the neighbors may file a complaint and if the complaint is proved to be true then the property owner will be made to cease and desist the threatening behavior.
  Aliens who do things that directly threaten member sovereigns will be dealt with through defensive action. Since they have not signed any social contract or treaty they can't be sued and it is hoped that through reasoning persuasion aliens will agree to not perform actions that threaten their neighbors and eventually through diplomacy and negotiations they may sign the FSUTO-PSTreaty.
  It is up to us to protect ourselves from threats in ways that are appropriate to the threat.
If the threat is continual and the property owner refuses to stop or even to talk or negotiate a settlement, then FSUTO police may blockade the alien's property and not allow any supplies in or out and may sever outside communications and in particular they may intercept and prevent delivery of any materials that may contribute to the threat. If an alien were to do something that is potentially life threatening to a member, then FSUTO defense forces will invade the property to prevent the action or to take away the ability of the alien to threaten one's neighbors in the future. This action should not involve excessive violence but should only perform a defensive action with a minimum of violence and with as little invasive action as possible.
Workers may protect their own safety through the FSUTO Occupational Safety Codes.

10 - Environment

Since the environment affects people across governmental and national boundaries, no individual, group, government or nation has the right to contaminate or destroy the general environment that other people use. While treaty member governments have their own laws regulating and protecting the environment within their jurisdiction, when their policies affect the general environment that extends across their borders they have a responsibility through the FSUTO-EPTreaty to use the mechanisms explained in the Treaty to reconcile their differences and seek a just solution in order to protect the environment for all to enjoy while not infringing on each other's sovereign control of one's own property.
Members of the FSUTO-EPT by their signing have voluntarily agreed to create an environmental authority to settle these differences.
Firstly, that members agree not to introduce alien species of flora or fauna or other biological mutations or creations or chemical substances which may disrupt the delicate balance of the general ecosystem. Secondly, they agree not to directly pollute other people's property or release harmful effluents which they know will cause harm to particular people or property. The EPTreaty allows only for pollution which meets the standards set by the EPTreaty agreement which uses the guidelines of allowing pollution at certain acceptable levels that will not knowingly cause death or debilitating injury or illness to people, damage to property and will not greatly harm the environment. However, these levels of pollution will still cause some damage and therefore all persons, entities and governments who are members of the EPT have the right to sue persons, entities, or governments who release the effluents and by doing so cause harm to the claimant. The claimant must show that harm has been done and that the effluents in question was the cause of the harm and show where the pollution was released and who was responsible for the release. Individual entities who contribute small amounts to the accumulation of pollution coming from an entire industry will be responsible for the damage they cause in proportion to the amount of effluents they release as will all other members of that particular industry who will share the cost of paying damages to people for the damage their pollution caused.
The EPTreaty also includes protection for ecosystems as well as individual endangered species of flora and fauna.

Aliens
When alien people, industries or governments are responsible for pollution or other actions that are destructive of the general environment which member sovereign's enjoy, then other measures will have to be taken to correct the behavior. It is hoped that the aliens will be reasonable enough to realize that we have a mutual interest in protecting the environment for the sake of the general welfare of all people as well as the economic interest of having a clean environment and sustainable resources for the future. And to these ends it is hoped that the aliens will enter into negotiations for the protection of the environment for the meeting of these goals and other mutual environmental interests.
   However, should an alien be responsible for pollution or other actions that is destructive of the general environment and refuses to either meet to enter into discussions on how to protect the environment or simply refuses to stop such actions, then measures similar to those taken to protect public safety must be taken to protect the environment.
Sovereign's defense against alien pollution or destruction of the general environment should be  according to the policies explained in FPT. No member's government should invade alien property for reasons of minor pollution such as smoke from fires or noise pollution or minor runoff from sewage or other activities which do not threaten sovereign's lives nor does it damage their property. However, action may have to be taken if such behavior were to be extreme or persist for long periods of time such as prolonged pollution that begins to effect the neighbor's health or threatens to damage property. Action may also have to be taken to capture or destroy any alien flora or fauna that may be harmful to the local ecosystem. Certainly, the discharge of hazardous effluents cannot be tolerated and if the alien refuses to enter into negotiations to control or stop such pollution then FSUTO authorities will have to take action.

11 - Social

(A) Through the social contract people may organize a society and arrange it in ways that better protect their rights and uphold their social roles and values. They can work together through mutual consent to refine their society to the finest degree, ordering things in ways that are more civilized and meaningful and that encourage morally good behavior and set up good role model leadership. They can encourage those values in which they believe without imposing them on others because other people may form their own social contracts, the FSUTO social contract is one which tries to empower people to protect their social roles and values by maximizing social opportunity for individuals to be able to join together to create the kind of social environment they want. Within this framework people may organize any type of society that doesn't violate individual rights and doesn't deny others the opportunity to organize their society based on their own values.
   Civilized people must settle their differences through mutual consent which may be arrived at through mediation, arbitration or a general understanding which is codified through contractual agreements. Civilized people do not impose their values on others through force. All social interactions must be through free associations, no one may force people to associate with each others against their will and there certainly can't be any kind of legitimate civil society which is maintained through coercion or force.
   People may arrange their associations in ways that fit their model for roles between men and women so as to create a more morally wholesome and emotionally fulfilling society that is more conducive to men's and women's needs and is a healthier environment for the family and children.

(B) Equality
Equality in the FSUTO-SCT is based on the equal rights of sovereign individuals to govern themselves and to freely associate and to negotiate for their own type of social contract based on their own values and under their own terms with others who hold common beliefs and interests. The FSUTO social contract is one which establishes a larger society based on the inherent equality of all human beings to be free to run their own lives, it is based on the equal opportunity for individuals to be able to earn a living, to get a job and to advance and succeed in an equal opportunity economy. It is based on the equality and uniqueness of the sexes with the respect for men and women that allows them to be themselves in public life and tries to create opportunities that maximize masculine and feminine participation.

(C) Family
One of the primary purposes of the FSUTO-SCT is to create an environment that is conducive to the needs and welfare of the family. To this end the social contract establishes controls that allow its members to control and regulate activities or materials that may not be appropriate for all members of the family. It provides the opportunity for members to join together to promote activities and materials that help to create the best possible social environment for the family and to promote policies and programs that help parents and children. These policies and programs may include using organizations and resources within the FSUTO-SCT to create programs for improving parenting skills, clubs and activities for children, guidance counseling for children and teenagers and marriage counseling and other relationship counseling as well as programs for the elderly and programs that improve relations between different social groups. They may also establish programs for mental health and moral guidance as well as self improvement and social skills courses. These regulations and programs are of course voluntary and must be funded and run exclusively by the signing members. Their obligations are not to be imposed on other sovereigns.

(D) Sex
The right to masculine and feminine identity, behavior and sex roles will be protected and promoted in FSUTO. To insure this, members will control and regulate materials and resources so as to clearly represent normal and moral sex roles to provide the maximum opportunity for men and women to participate in public activities and to maximize their careers. No behavior or materials which undermine the integrity of masculine or feminine identity will be allowed to be imposed on people against their will, but of course, freedom of speech and behavior and association will be respected in FSUTO, this includes the freedom to behaviors that some people may find offensive and conversely it means the freedom from those offensive behaviors and the freedom to create an environment that is conducive to one's needs.
  Members will be able to set up organizations which develop programs and zone activities and services so that masculine and feminine needs may be pursued without imposition from perverting influences. This includes the right to set up programs and training courses for men and women separately when there is a reason for this based on the different needs of each sex. If a man or woman finds that a product, service or informational material to be insulting to one's identity as a man or woman, then this person may ask the provider, who is obliged to obey their request as a SCT member, that it be zoned into an area so that people who may not be offended by it can still find it but that there should be a zone space that is cleansed of offensive content. Also, a man or woman who finds that there is a lack of opportunity for masculine or feminine expression or pursuit of activities or otherwise a denial of sex role behavior between participating individuals may demand that the provider make such opportunities available for those who want them.

(E) Personal Unions
In FSUTO-SCT relationships are what the people who inter into them define them as being according to their personal contracts.
   Marriage is protected in the Social Contract by a trademark that defines it according to universal values described in The Librademian Essay on Rights of Persons. Persons may form their relationships and define them in their own ways according to their own values and on their own terms as long as they don't try to undermine the integrity of other people's personal unions by misrepresentation or fraudulent use of other people's identity, because marriage is as much a part of the identity of the husband and wife as is their own individual names, the SCT protects the integrity of this identity as well as any privileges or obligations that the couple define in their contract. The SCT recognizes that marriage unlike other personal relationships directly affects the rights of children and in order to protect these rights a civilized society must respect the integrity and responsibilities of marriage.

(F) Women
The purpose of the Social Contract for women is to create opportunities for them to maximize their feminine participation in public society by providing opportunities for them to organize themselves in ways that protect their feminine integrity as role models in society and to develop better sororital associations and improve sex role relationships. Women must be empowered to control materials and resources so as to create precisely the type of feminine identity that serves their needs and interests in the public sector, they must be able to organize these resources in ways that allow women to be able to nourish their own lives with an environment that helps to develop the best that is in them. Specifically, there should be in all publicly provided services and resources an environment that is peaceful, cooperative, sharing and includes information, opportunities and programs particularly suited for mothers, wives and single women. The most important law of the social contract is that no hostile, aggressive or combative behavior is to be imposed on any women nor is any type of anti-feminine image such as amazon women, feminazis, lesbians, prostitutes or other types of hostile and harassing actions which undermine feminine honor and opportunity or infringe on their rights will be tolerated, nor will any form of sexual harassment or directly disparaging insults designed at denying women the freedom to exercise their rights or restrict their opportunities from being able to participate in public activities in an environment that is respectful and supportive of femininity.

(G) Men
The purpose of the Social Contract for men is to create opportunities for them to maximize their masculine participation in public society by providing ways for men to organize themselves in masculine activities both for fraternal and sex relationship reasons. The idea of this contract is to create an environment for fraternal organizations, men participating exclusively in sports together or in other athletic or outdoor pursuits and most particularly in exclusive combative activities. For men to be honorable and decent and to fulfill their responsibilities in society men must be able to be involved in training that helps to develop masculine character that serves women. To accomplish these goals men need to be able to develop their masculine attributes through competitive and combative activities in ways that protect the moral commandment that men must be protective of women and not in any way be involved in any competitive or combative activity with or against the opposite sex. Also, any type of social organization that is shown to fulfill specific masculine needs or is founded on one's identity as a man is protected by the Social Contract and all providers of resources must provide the opportunity for men to use these resources in the way that they see fit.

(H) Children
Children are living under a restricted form of the social contract called the filial contract, between parents and their children, one in which the parents agree to be good parents and the children agree to be good children, to obey their parents and to grow into good adults and members of society. As children mature they may take more responsibility for themselves and make their own choices in proportion to their demonstrated ability to be responsible for their choices. When the child becomes an adult the person must take full responsibility for one's choices and just as the person has the justifiable right to unlimited choices, to determine one's own fate and govern one's own actions with others, the person is also held fully accountable for those choices. As persons grow, they extend the social contract to others they encounter by obtaining the other person's consent and they in turn may pass on the social contract to others through mutual consent.
   The filial contract is based on the Librademian Constitution's definition of the rights of the family, marriage, parents and children's rights and the Librademian Essay on the Rights of Persons but may be altered by the parents and the society in which they live if the child also consents to alter or wave certain rights in which the child voluntarily does so because of the child's personality, attributes or life goals in which the child was not in any way coerced or abused and that the child is fully aware of the consequences and was allowed the opportunity to make alternate choices. This determination may be made by the child's parent's society, however because of the FSUTO Human Rights Treaty, if someone from another government believes that a child's rights are being violated or that the child is being denied the full exercise of one's rights, then that person may file a suit in the FSUTO Joint-Government and challenge either the parents or their government for failing to protect the child's rights or to give the full opportunity to the child to exercise one's rights.
   If a child is being coerced or pressured into denying one's rights the child may file a complaint with any treaty member government and ask for their protection. Every child within FSUTO has the right to choose one's own civilzenship, however the parents may make that choice for the child and by doing so the child will be of the same civilzenship as the parents, though if in doing this the child should express the desire to choose a different civilzenship, then the child will have dual civilzenship in which the child's primary civilzenship will be that of the child's parents but the child's rights will be under the protection of the child's chosen government. So if the child's parent's government defines the child's rights differently than does the government that the child chooses then the child's rights will be defined according to the child's chosen government and while the child will live under the parents government that government may not do anything that violates the defined rights of the child's government. If either the parent's or the child's government should be in contradiction then the definition of the parent's and the child's rights in relation to each other is as defined in the Librademian Constitution; disputes over the definitions of rights may be settled in a FSUTO Joint-Governmental hearing.
   Children who's rights are violated by the their parents or their government may file criminal or litigation charges in the child's own government or if the child's rights have been violated as defined in the Librademian Constitution in a way in which the child has not legally waived or altered those rights, then the child may file criminal or litigation charges in the FSUTO Joint-Government.
    The social contract is an agreement between members to create the most positive environment in which children may grow up. To achieve this, all members make a commitment to abide by the definition of children's rights and entitlements as defined in the Librademian Constitution as they will use that model for children's rights as the ideal for children in FSUTO-SCT public life. Members agree not to do anything or promote any activity that violates these principles in the public sector, as the Social Contract applies only to the public sector of FSUTO, however, members of the SCT agree not to violate these principles in regards to children any anywhere, at any time, including in private life.
   This means that children will enjoy freedom from any type of abusive behavior or coercion into behavior that might deny the child's rights or deny self expression of the child's religious beliefs and that boys and girls will be protected from coercion or harassment against their sex identity and that children are to be protected from exposure to violence, narcotics, alcohol, pornography, sexual combativeness as well as sexual or economic exploitation. In public children are to be protected from exposure of to any form of harassment against the child's identity based on sex, race, ethnicity, religion or nationality. In the public sector an environment must be created for children to participate in that is free from sexual combativeness, pornography, violence, narcotics or other types of immoral behavior that may contribute to the delinquency of miners or to emotional or psychological harm.
   All SCT members agree to create opportunities that are appropriate for children of different ages to participate in public life in activities that are open to the general public, excepting those things that are specifically intended for adults, members agree to zone adult material so as not to provide access to inappropriate material by children.

(I) Ethnicity
No person who is a member of the Social Contract may be subjected to racist hate speech or harassment or discriminated against  because of one's race, ethnicity, nationality or religion and no person shall be denied the equal opportunity to get a job or advance in that job or to be denied equal access to any public resources or in any way suffer segregation based on the above characteristics. No public entity or organization may organize to create separate facilities for people based on these discriminatory reasons nor is any Treaty member obliged to provide for separate use of resources based on these characteristics, however of course, if a group of people who are of the same race, ethnicity, religion or nationality should want to rent or otherwise pay for use of resources then they may use those resources exclusively among themselves and should a group want to reserve a public facility they may do so for any reason they choose. If a public facility such as a meeting hall or athletic field is open to the public to be reserved by groups then the providers of such facility may not practice discrimination in segregating the use of such facilities based on discriminatory reasons and conversely the providers of the facilities may not discriminate against an ethnic, national or religious group who may themselves what to reserve the use of such facilities. The point is that if resources are allotted to groups to have temporary exclusive use, the authorities over the public resources may not discriminate for or against private groups which organize themselves for the use of such facilities. This does not include operating public businesses or properties in ways that result in segregation, any public facilities loaned or rented out to groups is only temporary and no authority over these public facilities may develop or encourage a pattern of discriminatory use of the resources.

(J) Offensiveness
Members of SCT are bound by their word to create zones that segregate different types of material that may be offensive to some people with the ratings and definition of such material defined in the Social Contract, this list and the definitions may be added to, changed or redefined by additional contracts attached to the SCT. Members also agree to provide opportunities to consumers or guests that allow them to be able to control information or material in ways that allow people to have the tools to regulate and zone material in ways that fit their values; and members agree to make changes in the providing of materials or services so as to meet the mandates of the Treaty. Members are only responsible for making such changes as are described in the SCTreaty; if an individual were to be offended by some type of material that is not named in the Treaty and is not related to such content as has been generally described in the Treaty, then a member-provider is not obliged to make such changes on one's own, if the consumer wants to regulate content or resources beyond what is named in the Treaty then that person should form an organization which will regulate and manage resources and information on one's own. In such a case Treaty members are bound to respect this wish and to allow consumers or guests to control resources or material that the consumer or guest has access to, however, the provider does not have to perform any task or pay for such action, if a person is offended by material not named in the Treaty and the provider refuses to create a different zone for such content, then the consumers may organize and pay to create a zone on their own to filter the content and the content provider must allow the consumers or guests to do this.
   For people to protect themselves against offensive material being sent through the mail, people should identify in their address what type of material they will accept according to a ratings system to which the person subscribes. If a person has this address identification, then no one may send offensive material that violates that person's rating definition. A person may adopt a different type of control against unwanted material by notifying the sender or otherwise marking one's address with a clear warning against specific types of material. The address ratings are to simplify things for everyone. It's alright to send any material to a person who has no rating identification or other type of warning. A person with no warning or rating who expressly notifies a sender not to send certain material to one is legally protected against such material being sent.

12 - Civil Planing
(A) Civil planing is to be limited strictly to those properties which have been voluntarily put within an authority under the FSUTO-CPACTreaty. Within this authority, CPACTreaty members may do virtually any thing they want with that property because they have total control over it, this allows them to refine and develop the property to suit themselves. They have the civic control to plan their cities, to zone certain types of activities and to develop the kind of services that the community needs. They may cooperate to develop the community itself with activities that enhance the culture and recreation of the community and foster closer community spirit based on voluntary mutual cooperation.

(B) Joint Use
Public space as described above apply only to FSUTO public spaces created between members. Member sovereigns may discriminate within their own public or private spaces which are limited to their jurisdictions. FSUTO has no authority over associations within member jurisdictions. The terms of joint use of properties under the CPACTreaty will be largely determined by the individual contracts of the owners of the property with persons, entities or governments who wish to share joint use. Persons and entities who belong to different governments may join together in jointly held public property to find common ground and negotiate contracts to allow joint use of public property under agreements that all members accept. Unlike in the political state, no organization is allowed to steal private property or rob people of the use of their own private property; joint public space is limited strictly to that property in which the government, entity or person has voluntarily chosen to put one's property under the joint authority of the CPACT which they have consensually signed.

13 - Conclusion
As has been emphasized, sovereignty belongs exclusively to the individual human being and jointly in the governments that people choose to enter into through mutual consent, and as such, the FSUTO treaties are all contracts that are restricted to properties, authorities, services and activities that are explicitly defined in the contracts and are to be strictly limited to those defined responsibilities, they are not to extend beyond those responsibilities and in no way may anyone assume any power or responsibility under the FSUTO treaties that is not expressly defined in the treaties or in a mutually accepted contract under FUSTO.
   For a social contract to be legitimate as with any contract it must be voluntarily entered into and mutually accepted by all parties, a contract applies only to the two or more parties who sign it, no contract can validly be imposed on persons or entities who are not signatories of the contract. Implied contracts are those in which the people or entities enter into a condition that is created by contractual agreement by other parties with the entering parties being fully aware of the terms and conditions of the contract and the entering party choosing to participate in the contractual environment voluntarily, if the contractual parties use any type of force, threats or coercion then not only is the entering party not implied to be participating in the contract but any type of criminal action on the part of the contract members renders their contractual activities as criminal and illegitimate.           The political state uses lies, force, threats and coercion to get people to surrender their rights. The illegitimate idea of the old social contract within the political state is one which creates an artificial person; a citizen, and brainwashes people into perverting and surrendered their rights by getting them to trade their real and natural rights for the artificial rights created by an illegitimate contractual organization, i.e. the political state. People who begin in a natural condition of rights surrender those rights when they inter into illegitimate social contracts, its the ability to fool people into surrendering their natural rights that allows the state to get away with its crimes.
   Natural human rights are inalienable, that means they cannot be denied and no organization or power can justly change the meaning of those rights nor may any power take those rights from a person. It means that those rights belong to the person inherently and no attempt at perverting or redefining those rights under any definition of law changes or denies those rights, persons who have entered into illegitimate contractual organizations such as the political state have not truly lost their rights they have only been fooled into not exercising their rights.
The Free Sovereign's Universal Treaty Organization is a contractual organization based on voluntary mutual consent for the benefit and for defense of its members against the criminal actions of illegitimate contractual governments such as the political state and the criminal trespasses of others.

FSUTO authorities are to maintain strict neutrality and impartiality toward member governments, organizations and persons. The Inter-Governmental Organization does not make laws on its own and the FSUTO police and defense services are not advocates for or enforcers of their own particular laws or policies, they are neutral and impartial advocates for the member's governments and enforcers of the member's laws. They simply enforce the agreed upon contracts of the members and their chosen laws in an equally fair and impartial way and defend them against external violations.
