The Constitution of the Global Citizenry

This is the Constitution for the formation of the Global Citizenry

We, the humans who comprise this earth, in response to the wanton gap between the power of officials and that of we people, find that the time has come to govern those to whom we give the right to govern us. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their equality, quality of life, and the sustainability of humans as a species. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under complex systems of enslavement, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government and reshape it to the needs of its people. To provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of we humans, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

Preamble:

Since the dawn of knowledge, humans, as a collective species, have inherited the ownership or, at a minimum, the stewardship of the earth and its contents. This is not to say the earth can be owned by any species any more than the earth or the stars can be controlled by one. However, without a physical, greater lifeform to claim a more legitimate and sustaining stewardship of all that humans have created to date, we humans, at large, are the rightful inheritors of all that we humans have created. Similarly, no individual human at any point through time can truly be attributed with the sole creation of any definable thing because all things (real or imagined) are built upon the work of prior humans whose contributions lead to the thing’s creation, as evidenced by the very ability to have language in which to articulate such a thing.

Therefore, it is in this ownership that we humans reassert the natural claims to all that we have created, including the structures of rule that we allow to govern ourselves. It is from these elements (those ideas of our very creation) that we claim freedom. It is also with that freedom that we give these structures of our creation, the right to help humans progress in organized and diverse ways. Too often, it becomes self-evident that the very freedom we humans imbue upon these organizations has been used to enslave or otherwise disadvantage some humans to the benefit of other humans. It is for this reason that we, as humankind, have been forced to declare that new governance is required, so as to free ourselves of the very traps of our own concepts.

To this end, we humans endeavor for a better world. And in that pursuit, we institute the reform of those concepts that we have given life to, in a way that better reflects and benefits the human citizens of this world. Thus, we humans of this world, individually and en mass, ordain and establish this Constitution for the Global Citizenry for the governance of all who are given the right to govern another.

We, the people of this Earth known herein as the Global Citizenry, hold the following truths to be self-evident and indisputable.

That human life has intrinsic value.
That each human life is equally important to that of any other human life.
That, regardless of individual differences, each human is entitled to equal treatment.
That each human is entitled to pursue a joyful life.
That every human is entitled to speak freely, without fear of harm, so long as such speech is not used to instill harm, hatred, or incite violence against another human.
That physical violence in any form is a direct affront to life and therefore a violation of the most basic human right.
That each human should have the right to live and inhabit a space, not otherwise infringing on another human’s space.
That each human has a right to religious beliefs, including the right not to hold a religious belief, but that, as such, no government or political body should rule in a fashion that prejudices any religion, nor should any human have the right to impose their beliefs on another adult human, be it through threat, coercion, or edict, should that individual not choose to follow those beliefs.
That each human has a right to defend and protect their sovereignty and that of their family but also that defence is never an aggression nor grounds for violence against another.
That every governmental or political body is the creation of humans and therefore governs at the will of its Citizen Residents and, as such, must govern at the will of those it governs, without infringement or prejudice.
That no government or other organized body should, in law or practice, prioritize the rights of any one group of humans over another.
That no other group, organized body, or class should receive or impart the rights inherent to an individual human and thereby provide additional rights to the human members thereof.
That each human has an equal right to information, the ability for education, and therefore to free press without political bias, including bias in the pursuit of profit or power.
That each human has a right to individual privacy and the privacy of their immediate family and this can not be coerced directly or indirectly, and therefore no person may sell their privacy, just as no person may sell themselves to give up their privacy without direct and conscious awareness and informed consent to provide such private information. Even then, each human has a right to withdraw consent of private information at their choosing. Explicitly, a human’s privacy right extends to any non-human version of themself or intentional likeness of said human.
Every human has a right to due process in law, the press, or other judgment of them.

Given these indisputable truths, we, the humans that inhabit this world, set out the forms of authority to which we agree to be governed based on Just Laws, the Peace and Tranquility of All humans, and the progress of a greater unity built to ease the suffering of All people for a Sustainable world in Perpetuity, as established by this Constitution for Free Will among humans and the oversight of the governmental bodies of this Earth herein known as the Citizenry.

So sworn by the affiliated humans evidenced in the signatures of the Citizenry.

Article 1 - Organization:

The Citizenry shall not endeavor to change the laws of any established government. Rather, the citizenry and the laws it develops shall govern the way in which governments interact. When or if a dispute arises from the population of any area regarding the Citizen Residents (and such a dispute is raised to the level of the Citizenry through a means to be established), the Citizenry will mediate the concern based on the laws of the citizens' government, but as viewed through the lens of the principles and laws of this Citizenry. The ruling of this Citizenry shall be enforced at greater weight than that of the nation in question. This is so because it reflects the greater will of all humans. Unless specifically withheld, the rulings of the Citizenry shall serve as precedent for all that nation’s citizens until otherwise determined by the Citizenry or until a two-thirds majority vote of that nation's citizens (to be administered by the Citizenry) establishes that a different will is preferred.

All powers to enact, interpret, and enforce laws by which humans agree to adhere shall be vested in the Congress made up of two houses: The House of the Governed, and the House of the Assembly. Laws will be presided over by the Judicial Branch. With the administration of government vested in the Executive Branch. And the power as ultimate Commander and Chief of the Citizenry’s Military resides with the Head of the Executive Branch.

All individuals that agree to represent others within the Global Citizenry; and all Officers, employees, or other agents of the Global Citizenry; and any human so willing, within the Global Citizenry to do so (regardless of their ability to express that will, legally or otherwise), shall swear to uphold this Constitution, as amended per its instruction, and thereby also pledge allegiance to its principles.

Article 2 - Legislature:

The House of the Assembly shall be comprised of freely elected individuals whose makeup is such that there will be 1 Member for each 10,000,000 (10M ±10%) people (herein “10M”). These Members shall be elected for terms of 10 years, in alternating sets of 5 years. Qualifying Assembly Member representatives must first be elected to represent their constituency as an Assembly Member.

For the purposes of equalizing the population and currently political and geographic situations across the globe, the population of earth will be sectioned into 8 Geopolitical Regions:

North America (inc. Greenland) [~0.605B pop],
South America (inc. Antarctica)[~0.448B pop],
Africa [~1.535B pop],
Europe (not including Russia) [~0.638B pop],
West Asia (Turkey, Mid-east to Kazakhstan, + Russia) [~0.654B pop],
East Asia (Mongolia, China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan) [~1.652B pop],
Mid Asia (Pakistan to Bangladesh) [~1.947B pop],
South Asia & Pacific Islands (Myanmar/Berma to New-Zealand+Hawaii, etc.) [~0.747B pop],

Each region will elect the Assembly Representative from the Citizens of that region, in as equal a manner as can be devised from those constituencies. These Geopolitical Regions can be updated (in a manner and frequency to be defined, but not less than every 20 years) to better represent adjoined countries (ignoring the impact of water on borders), in a manner that best balances the identity of the populations.

In the event the House of Assembly finds any inequality in the grouping of any 10M constituency, they have the authority to set right any concern, using any or all means available to the government of said constituency, or if failing that as a viable solution, that of the Citizenry, to correct such inequality.

Should any Assembly Member be removed or become incapacitated for more than 60 days, that Assembly Member shall be replaced by an emergency vote of the constituency from which the removed member came, or be organized following such timeframe can conducted in not less than 1 year. The second highest vote getter from the Assembly Member’s election, may, at their option, stand in for said member during this time; becoming an Official in that service.

Any parties, groups, political organizations, or attempts to faction the global citizenry in whole or in any region, for any gain; including influence, money, resources, or other means, are expressly forbidden. All Members are expected to maintain free thought to the benefit of humanity and the Citizenry as a whole, followed by the needs of their constituency as a whole. At no point shall Members be corrupted for other purposes of gain for themselves, their family, or any ideology.

To avoid corruption and the potential for individual gain through means of capital expression, no Candidate for Assembly Membership may raise funds individually nor have funds used by third parties upon their behalf. Rather, all contributions for all candidates pertaining to any one 10M constituency shall be deposited with a distribution account under management of the Citizenry. These funds will be distributed evenly amongst all candidates to be used under their direction. To further aid in the independence of the electorate, any propaganda, advertisement, sign, post, communication, or other means of notifying the public of the candidate’s qualifications; must be approved by the candidate in question and created under the candidates direction; and should such media reference another candidates qualifications without that individual’s consent, upon request, such media will be removed, redacted, deleted, amended, or further remedied as can be reasonably expected of a person fitting the qualification of a candidate; in such event the equivalent sum spent toward its creation and promotion be paid back to said distribution account as a donation due to such infraction. Reports will be made public at the same time as funds are distributed to candidates, not less than quarterly. All funds are to be treated equally for all candidates regardless of any influence any candidate, or those related to them, may have.

All candidates for Members of the Assembly must be an Adult of Free Will of integrity, good character, and wisdom, sourced from individuals living within the area of their constituency for a minimum of 7 consecutive years preceding their election. If needed, constituencies can create a verification mechanism for these requirements. However any mechanism must be administered, evaluated, and disclosed equally to, by, and for all candidates. Any mechanism for this purpose must have the content approved by a ⅔ majority of the Citizens of said constituency at least 1 term before an election.

The House of Assembly is in charge of developing legislation. The process by which can be determined by the Assembly so long as it meets the following:

All legislation must be developed by staff of the Assembly and brought to an Assembly Vote without outside influence or lobbying.
No individual may ingratiate themselves or seek to gain benefit for themselves or their families.
No entity is above this constitution, and therefore no entity or group should be favored in any legislation
Any payment to any Citizen-associated individual should be considered according to the standard of living for the area from which the individual is from.
Compensation for Citizenry officials or representatives (including all members of the government or any of its employees) shall not be compensated at a rate greater than the 90th percentile for the equivalent service in the private sector.
All elected or appointed Citizenry officials shall be paid at the same rate. That rate shall be a fair level to preserve integrity (well over the standard of living) for all. The Department of Currency, in addition to others, will recommend rates of pay for elected positions based on the principles of this constitution.
No individual or group should be provided authority above the ultimate legislative authority of the Assembly as interpreted by the Judicial Branch.
Approval-based voting should be applied in all affairs.

The Assembly decides its location for meetings, but it must remain in said location for a minimum of 28 years and cannot be located in the same Nation twice in any four (4) terms. All coordination beyond the general location’s selection is to be handled by the Executive Branch. The selected location should include plans for exiting said location at the end of the term, or earlier if necessary.

The House of the Assembly will set about a process to review and amend legislation before it is advanced to the Executive Brand for enactment. Legislation and Elections will be held by approval voting on Bills in a transparent vote by private ballot. Legislation is determined by private vote (each member's vote is to be sealed until the end of their term unless the Judicial Branch unseals the full vote transparency sooner). The Assembly may adjust this so long as it is to further establish the integrity of independent voting amongst Members.

Approved Bills are to be sent to the Executive Branch for review by each Department and to the Judicial Branch for an opinion briefing, through the following process:

Within 90 days, an assessment of the impact of proposed adjustments will be delivered by the Executive Branch’s unit responsible for submitting such reports, or the Department of Organization. Within 10 Days of receipt by such body, the Executive Branch will propose changes to the Bill to allow better administration.
These will be sent to the Judicial branch and reviewed. The Judicial opinion brief will be created within 10 Days of receipt from the Executive Branch, and the proposed Executive changes to the Bill in conjunction with the Judicial opinion will then be presented to the Assembly for a vote into Law.

If the Executive Board is unable to comply, it may veto the legislation. Upon any Veto, a combined committee of Assembly Members, Executive Branch representatives, and at least one Governor Representative for every 5 others, set about developing a reasonable approach to deliver the Bill’s intent given the limitations of the Citizenry. This is presented to the Judicial Branch for one of the following actions:

A new vote by the assembly on the revised Bill
Confirmation of the Veto
If a vote by the assembly is somehow untenable, a vote by the House of the Governed
In cases of substantial upheaval to the Citizenry as a whole, present the bill and all relevant information to the Citizens for a vote in the next cycle.

Additionally, the Assembly will elect, from its own members, committees to oversee, address any matters before the need of an Assembly vote, the Departments and other functions of Citizenry Government.

Article 3 — Powers of War and Nations

The House of the Governed is to be made up of appointees, three from each elected “presidential” official of each recognised Nation. These Governors of the Citizenry are Officials charged with inter-nation diplomacy, overseeing conflicts and negotiations between Nations or States, Military Command of the Citizenry’s enlisted or conscripted forces, nominating Judges for consideration in the pool, and, along with their nation’s ultimate leader, representing their nation in any discussions, disputes, or defences with the Citizenry.

These Governors are endowed by their Nation to represent their Nation, and bind their Nation to the agreements, made by the House of the Governed. Just as no Governor should act at any individual’s instruction, no Nation shall be bound by the resolutions. However, the House of the Governed may invoke sanctions for non-compliance with the rule of the Citizenry. In this event, all Sanctions shall be administered exclusively and in totality within the Department of Currency if the sanctions are financial in nature, or if otherwise exclusively and in totality within the Department the House of the Governed determines is appropriate for said non-financial sanctions.

The House of the Governed is to establish its means of organizing and reviewing matters under its purview with the following caveats:

All roles that are not the role of "Governor" are to be employees of the Department of Organization, and all administrative costs are to be budgeted through this department.
All Governors are considered Citizenry Officials and associated portions of this constitution apply to each Governor as such.
Governors shall work through resolutions for peaceful ends whenever possible.
Governors shall not attempt to oversee the business of other Houses or Branches and shall not make resolutions in contradiction with this Constitution.
Any Citizen should have the right to bring forward a grievance regarding a human’s right and have that grievance properly reviewed from the lens of the said Governor’s home nation and its laws, customs, and will of people. These grievances, if found valid through a process of the Governors making, will be logged, and the recommended actions published for the Nation’s consideration or vote by the House of the Goverened.
No administrative costs shall be considered in the offering of services for any human; similarly, the Governors shall not act with extravagance or enhancement over other Officials.
Governors may be removed by the result of an impeachment trial or at the will of their Nation. However, no Governor may be appointed twice. Each transition to a new appointee shall not occur without an Official Withdrawal by Order via a method established by the House of the Governed, and shall not be allowed at a rate more frequently than 12 times in any calendar year.

The Governors decide its location for their office and that of the Executive, but it must remain in said location for a minimum of 35 years and cannot be located in the same country twice in any 4 terms. In this they determine the location of the Executive Branch (with a building a limitation on size the lesser impact of a structure not to exceed 3 working rooms per cabinet member +20, or a series of buildings appropriate to the areas style providing the same). The Executive Branch shall be responsible for all further aspects beyond the general location. The selected location should include a plan for exiting said location at the end of the term, or earlier if necessary.

Any parties, or attempts to faction the global citizenry in whole or any region for any gain, including influence, money, resources, are expressly forbidden. All Governors are expected to maintain free thought to the benefit of humanity as a whole, followed by the needs of their constituency as a whole.

The Governors are Officials of the Citizenry. As such, they swear allegiance to uphold this constitution while serving the Citizenry in this role. If, following each Governor's term, they have been found by the Department of Information to have held office with integrity, the former governor will also have any further benefits bestowed upon any Official. If however, corruption is discovered, the individual, stripped of any honor, and the nation they represent, will be fully liable for all associated impacts. Anything of value can be used to implicate corruption. If a value is not clear, the Judiciary will assess the infraction, and each the individual and the Nation they represent, are liable for the full sum of discovered damages in addition to other rulings of the Judiciary. These are to be separately assigned, and are explicitly intended to double the expense of such corruption.

Article 4 — Executive & Administrative branch:

The House of the Assembly oversees the Executive Branch functions of the Citizenry. It does so through the election of a 3-Member board, comprised of Assembly Representatives, duly elected by the House of Assembly. This panel fulfills the Executive Branch's “Head,” or President.

This Executive President Board serves as the the Head of State, Commander and Chief, or Supreme Leader of the Executive Branch. This tribunal decides on the direction of all Departments, the heads of those departments, and additional special powers instilled by the Assembly. The Executive President Board approves all use of force and all generals or military leaders report to the Executive President Board, receiving Executive President Board approval before action.

Members of The Executive Board may be removed through Impeachment Trial, and plurality vote of Congress. The Judicial Branch will conduct the trial in a process established by them. Impeachment may be brought by a majority of the House of Assembly or by a 2/3rd majority of the House of the Governed.

Departments will be organized to better serve the Citizenry. With the exception of the Department of Currency, these Departments are not intended to oversee similar functions in any nation. Instead the departments will provide services the Citizens of member nations in accordance with this constitution and the laws enacted by the Assembly, at the direction of the Executive Branch. This will start with the following departments, but can be changed or adjusted by the Executive Branch, with Assembly approval, to better uphold this constitution:

Department of Currency — The responsibility of which is to oversee all aspects that relate to economics, money, trade, or business. For interpretation by the Assembly, this department is considered Primary in its authority. This department will also have the responsibility of assigning master budgets for other departments, providing data for each department’s sustainability, and overseeing compliance for monetary matters. In this charge, it will maintain a unit to understand the needs and particulars of any department to aid in budget determination. Budget requests are to be submitted by each department. These will inform the global need and be adjusted based on the global resources.

Department of Health — The responsibility of which is to ensure the health of the human population and the earth we inhabit is attended to. For interpretation by the Assembly, this department is considered Secondary in its authority. With this, this department oversees medical systems, treatment access, medical monitoring, and compliance. Additionally, disease prevention, sustainable medical application, drug testing, and the assurance that cures are sought over symptoms are all within the scope of this department.

Department of Information — The responsibility of which is to oversee all aspects that relate to citizen education, news and dissemination, elections, privacy, data and its integrity, information on any entity, and the gathering, access, and regulation of related items. For interpretation by the Assembly, this department is considered Tertiary in its authority. This department will also have the responsibility of determining the standards and vehicles in which any data may be transmitted.

Department of Production — The responsibility of which is to oversee all aspects that relate to labor, infrastructure, public maintenance, food development, transportation, technological oversight, and the tools, supplies, or services needed by the Citizenry to maintain the constitution. For interpretation by the Assembly, this department is considered Quaternary in its authority. This department will also have the responsibility of determining global sustainability for all of these things based on the guidance from the Department of Health.

Department of Organization — The responsibility of which is to oversee all aspects that relate to learning, respecting, advising, and assuring Citizenry compliance. If needed, this department may also provide services for nations of the globe if they are unable to provide them. Where appropriate, these services should be coordinated through the appropriate Department for said services. For interpretation by the Assembly, this department is considered Quinary in its authority. This department will also have the responsibility of providing any briefing on interactions between nations in an unbiased manner that respects the culture of all Citizen parties.

Department of Military — The responsibility of which is to oversee all aspects that relate to peace between groups, military, defence, arms, operations, combat training, the specific aspects of technology related to military function, and associated military needs. The Department of the Military oversees the military, but it does not control Military action, which is expressly the charge of the House of the Governors. It is independent of the Military, but determines the budget needs and can alert the Assembly of any Military actions (current or planned). If needed, this department may also provide administrative services related to Military needs for the nations of the globe if they are unable to provide them. For interpretation by the Assembly, this department is considered Senary in its authority beyond is primary responsibility to maintain peace, even if requiring military action. This department will also have the responsibility of providing any briefing on interactions between nations in an unbiased manner that respects the culture of all Citizen parties. Additionally, this department will be responsible for any peacekeeping police force, or other enforcement of law.

Department heads to be recommended by the Executive President Board and ratified (66%) by a vote of the Assembly committee members overseeing the associated department. Removal of a department head may occur by the majority vote of all other department heads plus the committee overseeing the department in question. If the voting membership is less than 15 individuals, the Executive President Board will be included. All departments and their employees/providers may be called upon by the Assembly for testimony. All departments are auditable by the Assembly, and information and/or related humans, made available for report.

In the event the House of the Governors are at an impasse to a valid proposed resolution for more than 90 days over any position or matter, an approval vote by the available Assembly consisting of not less than 32% of the body (rounded down) will be sufficient for confirmation or removal of any position, or other matter in which there is an impasse.

Article 5 —The Judicial Branch:

The judicial power of the Citizenry, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Assembly may from time to time ordain and establish. These official Citizenry Judges, comprising both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices sworn to this constitution and in the betterment of humanity in perpetuity.

Every Citizenry Judge will hold themselves, their offices, and this Judicial Branch to the highest standard of integrity, never considering any individual interest or family gain or loss in ruling. The Supreme Court will be composed of Judges elected by their peers in a manner they institute.

The Judicial Branch is in charge of determining disputes, war crimes, violations, and resulting repercussions. It interprets the Laws of the Citizenry as established by the Assembly; the laws, treaties, and agreements between multiple nations; and the laws of any nation as it relates to the rights of a human, humans, or life on earth.

The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the Citizenry, and agreements made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; to all cases affecting officials, ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls; to all cases of maritime jurisdiction; to controversies to which the Citizenry or its Citizens shall be a Party; to civil and military controversies between two or more nations; and between Governments, Entities, and Citizens of any form. When any judge is considering a case in which the Laws of a Nation are a factor, that judge shall consider the Laws of said nation through the lens of the Laws under this Constitution before passing any judgment.

In all cases affecting a nation, and those in which a nation shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all cases affecting an entity, and those in which an entity shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all cases affecting a Citizen, and those in which a Citizen shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such exceptions as the Assembly may pass, so long as no exception violates the intent of this Constitution, which the Supreme Court ultimately interprets.

The trial of all crimes involving an individual shall be public; by Jury of objective, diverse jurors fairly representing the accused; presided over by a minimum of a 3-Judge panel; and such trial shall be held in a judiciary location as near as safely possible to the location of the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any singular nation, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Judicial Branch has directed. Each party is entitled to equal representation, protection, transportation, and relocation at a cost to be borne by the Judicial Branch.

Cases for non-criminal trial, Suits, involving any entity may be brought to the Judicial Branch for review. Suits for legal interpretation, Legislative Suits, may be brought by any Citizen, Nation, or Government. These are to be in a manner that all parties with interest are able to prepare their written arguments, submit them for consideration, and have the opportunity to defend them in a trial presided over by a minimum of a 5-Judge panel. Each party is entitled to equal protection at a cost to be borne by the Judicial Branch. Legislative Suits in which the Judges grant a change to Law or Interpretation of Law, and deam that change to be of substantial human impact, also have the opportunity for the entities to have transportation and relocation cost covered by the Judiciary.

Suits for non-criminal harm, Civil Suits, may be brought by any Citizen against any entity, or by any Joint Entity against another Joint Entity. These are to be in a manner that all parties with interest are able to prepare their written arguments, submit them for consideration, and have the opportunity to defend them in a trial presided over by a Judge, whose decision is then reviewed by a 3-Judge panel before implementation. That panel will set the final verdict, award, and recommended legislative impact, if any. They will also determine if any portion of the submitted costs for the suit are reimbursable.

Civil Suits may also be brought against a Citizen by a Joint entity. In these cases, the same format is followed with the exception that any Citizen defendant in these trials will have just representation by an attorney-employee of the Judicial Branch as well as protection, transportation, and relocation at a cost to be borne by the Judicial Branch.

Suits for harm against humanity, the earth, or a human’s right, Citizenry Suits, can be brought by any individual. The Judicial Branch will establish a way that all Citizens have equal ability to bring a suit if desired. This should be able to be brought without cost to any individual; in a manner in which legal counsel is provided to draft the suit; without prejudice against the individual; in which relevant information will be obtained or produced; and be accessible to all Citizens residing on Earth. These Citizenry Suits will be provided a process for review by the Judicial Branch. If other parties are determined to have interest or relevant information, the Judicial Branch may subpoena such parties as are needed. If there is a defendant entity determined, it will also be provided due process and given the opportunity to prepare a defence. Following any Citizen Suit trial. The Judiciary Branch will determine the corrective actions, penalties, awards, or other results.

The at-fault party in any Criminal Trial or non-criminal Suit has the opportunity for a one-time appeal of the verdict of any decision. This appeal will be brought without cost to any Citizen and in a manner in which legal counsel is provided to draft the appeal.

All Appeals will be processed through the Appellate Court. This court and its judges will determine the manner in which appeals are handled and elevated, up to and including delivery for Supreme Court Review.

Members of the Judicial Branch are nominated by the House of the Governed. Governors shall set about a way in which Judicial Nominees can be selected from the judiciary of various nations. There is no limit on nominations from any Governor, but nominations are added to a pool for selection. Each nomination will have an unbiased dossier compiled by the Department of Information. The Judicial Branch shall then select recommendations from the pool for the various Judge positions within the branch. These are approved by the House of the Assembly.

The Judicial Branch is to establish its means of organizing and reviewing cases with the following caveats:

All roles that are not the role of “Judge” are to be employees of the Department of Organization, and all administrative costs are to be budgeted through this department.
All Judges are considered Citizenry Officials and associated portions of this constitution apply to Judges as such.
Judges shall remain objective, considering, in order: a) the sustainable future of humanity, b) the sustainable future of the Citizenry, c) the constitution of the Global Citizenry, as amended, and d) the Laws of the Nation(s) with which entities are associated.
Any Citizen should have the right to bring forward a suit regarding a human’s right and have that suit properly reviewed.
No administrative costs shall be considered in the offering of services for any human.
Judges may be removed by the result of an impeachment trial where the plaintiffs are Assembly Members, and it is presided over by the Supreme Court (or remaining members if one is indicted). Should the Supreme Court rule in favor of the Judge, that verdict may be vetoed by a public, approval vote of the Congress.

A lens for Just Interpretation of Law shall be applied to all concepts of law. Those explicitly include these tenets:

Humans have a right to a fair trial based on the laws of the state when those laws are considered to be “Just” by this constitution. Where those laws are not deemed to be “Just”, the interpretation of those laws shall be taken up by the Judiciary for guidance to the body which claims dominion over the individual.

No individual nor their generally accepted property shall be unreasonably searched or seized without due process. If a system for reparation upon false government accusation does not exist in the nation of the individual, a system for ych will be established by the Judiciary.

Each individual shall be granted a right to a trial not sooner than 30 days (or the reasonable timeframe in which to acquire strong legal protection within the Nation of the individual). During this time, their personal freedom shall not be restricted to the extent that they do not cause harm to themselves or others. No human may be “jailed” before a fair trial under the “harm” interpretation.

The Judiciary shall determine fair punishment or reparation so that humans are not to endure cruelty, see an end to a human life.

The Judicial shall not allow for outside attorneys. All attorneys will be employees of the Judicial Branch, funded through the Department of Organization. These attorneys must meet a bar of acceptance as set by the Judicial Branch, encompassing, at minimum, the interrelation of Nations and as further established by the Judicial Branch.

Article 5 - Citizen Military

Whereas the Global Citizenry’s mission is to serve the peaceful sustainability of human life on earth, the conditions of this globe dictate that a Military be Raised and outfit to the best of its ability with the intent of protecting human life and reducing harm. This Citizen Military of the Global Citizenry shall be the sword to the Constitution; Will act at the Direction of the House of the Governed, with the Approval of the Executive President Board.

The role of any force: police, military, or otherwise, should be to maintain peace and order among the population. Any use of force is an extension of humanities agreement to allow such force to establish order based on the laws we choose to be governed by. Any use of other humans by titles of police or soldier in violent or aggressive ways for any purpose beyond this, is in violation of the principles established here by the Constitution.

The Military is to be funded and filled by Member Nations and shall never be used for plunder from any Nation nor for the intimidation of any Nation. This is to occur in a manner as dictated here or amended by the House of the Assembly.

Military Structures to be assumed by global citizenry, once mature, shall be at an amount not less than to the largest current standing nation’s military and with the sophistication of the most adept military.

Each Member Nation’s government and or military organizations commit to the following:

Each government to provide a force in equal representation of their Nation’s population as compared to that of The Citizenry. This force will comprise the personnel for the global protection, Citizen Military.

Additionally, each Member Nation shall provide funds for Citizen Military use, in ratio to the Member Nation’s Military spending compared to that of the globe. Should this sum be untenable by any Nation, the Department of Currency will create a bond instrument to fund the shortfall until which time the Nation has recovered.

Each military member is sworn to this global constitution; this global constitution, as amended or changed, so long as the will of the citizenry still holds and the Citizen Military is within its service.

No individual serving on or for the Military should be selected for violence, but rather each must act to uphold the sanctity of life, all life reasonably seen as help to protect humans.

Individuals shall only be deployed for the protection and defence of humanity, without regard to wealth or “ownership,” but in a manner in which the objective is to defend and preserve the most humans.

All territory disputes (those that may have previously led to violence or war) will become the immediate protectorate of the Citizenry. And under whose control, the most “normal” life will be peacefully maintained, while the Citizenry investigates the merits of each side’s disputes, and mediates a peaceful solution. If none can be mediated between the sides, the area in dispute will remain under the peaceful authority of the citizenry while its inhabitants decide how to reorganize, choosing to delineate along the sides or peacefully organizing into something wholly new.
