Dear World Leaders,
As time has passed I believe it is imperative for international stability to establish some basic rules of war. The Empire of Procellia wishes to propose a set of international laws in regards to neutral nations, both to restrict and protect our rights. This convention will only apply to the signatories, but failure to sign could prevent a nation from benefiting from a neutral nation.
1) A neutral nation may not declare war, unless first directly attacked
2) A neutral nation may not attempt to side with a party in a foreign conflict in any official capacity. Example of prohibited actions include; an official condemnation, trading with only one party, offering humanitarian aid to only one party or an official recognition of one side as the rightful victor
3) An antagonist party may not inhibit the free trade of goods from a neutral nation
4) An antagonist party may not attempt to attack or harm a neutral nation, or its citizens
5) A neutral nation may provide humanitarian relief, so long as it is nonpartisan and does not directly contribute to the war effort
6) A neutral nation must cease all humanitarian efforts if all parties involved request it
7) A neutral nation must turn over all patients and refugees to the victor once the fighting has ended
8) An antagonist party may not prevent or inhibit humanitarian efforts from a neutral nation
9) An antagonist party may not attempt to confiscate or steal the aid provided to civilian by a neutral nation
10) A neutral nation has the right to defend themselves, and refugees in their care from antagonists without being considered an active party in the conflict
11) It is the responsibility of all signatories to enforce these rules within their territory and amongst their population.
