Date:           November 25, 1997

Observing the definite need for a definition of the term "national sovereignty" that would be acceptable to all nations of the world so that the United Nations community may know the extent to which the United Nations and its members have the authority over both singular and multiple nations, international laws, armed military actions, and international business and trade, and

Deeply regretting the fact that no resolution that has completely defined the issue of national sovereignty and its effects upon the United Nations has been passed and accepted by the United Nations and by its member nations, and

Fully believing that the issue of national sovereignty will routinely be debated and argued at every United Nations session, so that the power of the United Nations will be undetermined by the continued controversy created when nations who would use the topic to stir doubts and use the issue as a political weapon, and

Taking into account the knowledge that no nation of the world wishes to have the independence and political separations of their nation violated by another nation who wishes to exercise their independence and political separations, and

Emphasizing the fact that political, economic, and social freedom must be determined by each nation equally, for one nation to abuse these rights is to infringe upon the rights of another nation; whereas there has to be some restraint for every freedom that a nation has in order to not challenge these same rights and duties of another nation,

1. Proclaim that in international law, sovereignty, or qualified representation of a group of people, is recognized by the United Nations to be and essential qualification of full membership in the family of nations, where a nation whose citizens inhere the rights and obligations defined by international law are considered states, and a community is not considered a state unless it is independent of legal control by any other community and is legally free to determine the nature of its relations with all other communities.
2. Resolves that no nation nor the United Nations shall institute any law or laws that passes judgment upon the constitution, economy, government, or society of another nation, or interferes directly or indirectly with the normal running of that government and nation, or interferes with or violates the constitutions and laws of another nation.
3. Affirms that these freedoms and restrictions, rights and duties are possessed by every nation in the world without restriction to anyone.
4. Designates that the individual freedoms of one nation, when exercised cannot, and will not, violate the national sovereignty of any other nation, and that the freedom and national sovereignty of any nation does not exceed the importance and safety of any other nation.
5. Notes that the event of a blatant and devised violation of the national sovereignty of a nation empowers the United Nations to act swiftly and justly to use the minimum force necessary to correct such violations.
6. Calls for the immediate action of the Security Council, advised by the General Assembly committee most concerned by the violation, to authorize the necessary force to correct any violations of national sovereignty.
7. Confirms that the international affairs of a nation, when they threaten neither the safety nor the national sovereignty of another nation, are protected under the Declaration of National Sovereignty so that no other nation may demand intervention.
8. Declare that in time of war, the United Nations, or a force supervised by the United Nations, can intervene without being in violation of national sovereignty under the following circumstances: that the war poses a threat to another nation, if a nation is attacked by another nation, or if a government of a multi-cultural war requests intervention for peace.
9. Expresses its hope that this document may be accepted willingly by all nations of the world, and that it defines all aspects of national sovereignty adequately so that we may live in a peace that does not threaten or violate the freedom, rights, and duties of any nation.
10. Recognizes the fact that this declaration will not interfere with, nullify, or void any resolution since passed in the United Nations, but will take effect immediately and will influence all resolutions passed after the date on which this resolution was passed.
