Mr. Speaker, I hereby submit this motion for consideration by the Senate.
ACKNOWLEDGING our current position as member of the Partnership for Sovereignty,
NOTING that by virtue of Section V of the treaty, any amendment of it is required to be processed by each individual member regions’ legislature before taking effect,
AWARE that the current delegations of the bloc have already mutually passed the amendment among themselves,
COMPLYING with the text of the treaty,
BE IT ENACTED by the Senate & General Assembly:
Section 1: Provisions
1. Section II, Clause 3 of the Partnership for Sovereignty shall be amended to read as follows: “After discussion, any representative may motion for a vote on a vote recommendation, such a vote will last 24 hours or until all members have voted. A vote recommendation includes the option preferred by the parties and the reasoning published for the recommendation. In order to issue a recommendation, a quorum of one-half of delegations must be reached, and three-fifths of non-abstaining representatives must support the recommendation. If the proposed vote recommendation does not reach these thresholds, the Partnership will not issue a vote recommendation on that Security Council proposal.”
2. Section IV, Clause 2 of the Partnership for Sovereignty shall be amended to read as follows: “Following discussion of the application, a 72 hour vote will be held and, if three-fourths of non-abstaining delegations concur, with a quorum of one-half of voting delegations, the region shall be admitted.”
3. A new clause shall be inserted following Section IV, Clause 2, and the subsequent clauses renumbered accordingly:
A. “Should an application vote fail to reach quorum, discussion of the application shall continue for one week, after which a second vote is held. Should the second vote fail to reach quorum, the application is automatically rejected.”
