@LoreZyra I read your work on Asgardia.Constitution.Proposal on GitHub and I find it really solid.

Вы просили обсудить проект Конституции Asgardia.

Мы охотно делимся своими размышления по вопросам имеющим отношения к Asgardia и

предложенный проект текст Конституция.

Исходя из положения статьи 2. (проект конституции Asgardia / пКА / здесь и далее по тексту) статус Асгардии определяется, как первое космическое свободное, унитарный, правовой, социальный, надэтнический, надконфессиональный, нравственный, справедливый, мирное, основанное в своем единстве на равенстве достоинства каждый человек, устремленный в будущем и бесконечное пространство Вселенной государство - Конституционная Монархия.

Остаётся не ясным вопрос связанный с правовыми аспектами касающимися: войны в космосе и космических баталий.

Как нам представляется прояснение этих немало важных вопросов, которые по мере освоения ближнего и дальнего космоса, в том числе и в военных целях заставляет нас задуматься о возникающими аспектами военной проблематики перед космонавтами и астронавтами и космическими агентствами планеты Земля.

До принятия текста конституции предлагается взглянуть на следующие важные вопросы в области космического права Asgardia.

Когда можно, а когда нельзя:

Атаковать гражданские спутники, которые частично могут использоваться в военных целях?

Применять лазерное оружие?

Можно ли считать преступлением редактирование спутниковых снимков, чтобы представить гражданские объекты на земле военными и нанести по ним удар?

Насколько применимы к военным астронавтам законы, действующие на Земле?

Как применять к пленным, захваченным в космосе положения Женевской конвенции если она регулирует обращение с военнопленными на Земле, но не в космосе?

Кто и какую несёт ответственность за мусор на околоземной орбите, возникающий в результате военных действий в космосе?

Не смотря на поставленные вопросы конституция Asgardia не даёт ответов на них. Мы считаем если не КА, то должны быть созданы документы проливающие свет на милитаризацию и освоения космоса. До сегодняшнего дня международное космическое право таких документов не имеет. Апелляция к SDI (стратегическая оборонная инициатива) объявленная Рональдом Рейганом лишь подтверждает амбициозность планов сверхдержавы, хотя и оставшуюся на бумагу, по милитаризации космоса.

Очевидно, что дело лишь в сроках и решениях политиков когда будет размещена на спутниках лазерных и другое оружие. И Asgardia должна быть готова. Ст. 4 Высшие ценности Asgardia нам прямо указывает, что мы осуществлять защиту планеты Земля и всего человечества от угроз из Космоса.

Нам представляется что Asgardia должна поднять и решить вопрос о милитаризации космоса на Генеральной ассамблее ООН. Кото как Asgardia должна защищать космос от гонки вооружений в нём? Или мир уже прекратил нуждается в предотвращении угроз, в том числе и из космического пространства?

Asgardia волнует не совершенство Законов регулирующей деятельности человечества в космосе. Все они были приняты во время холодной войны и имели отношение к освоению мирного космического пространства умалчивая аспекты милитаризации космоса. Их нет ни в договоре о принципах деятельности государств по исследованию и использованию космического пространства, включая Луну и другие небесные тела (1966), не в Соглашении о спасании космонавтов, возвращении космонавтов и возвращении объектов, запущенных в космическое пространство (1967).

Учёные и философы Asgardia считают, что есть необходимость в закреплении в тексте конституции положения относящиеся к ведению звездных войн в космическом пространстве. Причина заключается в том, никто не может сегодня помешать государствам использовать космос в военных целях. Сегодня не просто дать правовую оценку действий и степень вмешательства субъекта как со стороны планеты Земли, так и Asgardia, например в полете спутника на околоземной орбите, которую согласно канонам космического права можно трактовать как «вооруженное нападение. За которым может последовать право Asgardia и Землян использовать силу для самообороны субъекта.

Мы полагаем что участие международных юристов Asgardia в проекте MILAMOS позволит рассеять густой правовой туман в вопросах военного освоения и милитаризации космоса не смотря на предстоящие задачи. Asgardia нельзя забывать, что любые державы (государства) при ведении военных и боевых действий в космосе для достижения победы на земле используют доступный им космический арсенал, который после атаки (взрывов) создаст множества обломков, которые останутся на орбите. Ликвидация последних усилиями Asgardia при современном уровне технологий уборки космического мусора может занять десятилетия и столетия?

Мы надеемся, что технические специалисты и юридический корпус Asgardia вместе с юристами планеты Земля способны прописать правила поведения космических держав. Мы уверены, что применение обновлённых норм международного космического права способно радикально изменить быстро меняющуюся природу вооруженных конфликтов государств на планете Земля, включая космическое пространство.

Таково было наше видение на конституционные пробелы.

Спасибо!

@Lore Zyra

I'm also reading your proposal document and I am awaiting your take on Chapter 8.

So far everything I'm reading sounds satisfying.

  HoS/  PoA should be a president position, no more than 3 terms of 5-6 yrs  each. But at the end of each term there needs to be a primary,hate to  say it no matter what there's going to be political party's.to let the  President/ Monarch pass on title is very  wrong and will most diffidently lead to corruption  Let the Hos /PoA  have a cabinet made up of the heads of the different executive  branches  of government,these branch can be nominated by the President/ Monarch  but have to be vetted by Parliament/ Congress and approved by same for  the post they were nominated for ,plus these are the only people the  PoA/HoS can fire if they aren't doing the work of the people.  As far as   members of Parliament/ congress they should be elected by Asgardians  in each country where we have a presence.Just to say that  Parliament/Congress will have 150 members is a bit wrong .This leaves  the door open for corruption . Lastly Only the citizens of Asgardia have  the right to de-solve Parliament/Congress by voting. To let the HoS/PoA  do this is maddness

  Another thought I do realize that some of the countrys we have a presence in may only  have one citizen member .In that case they will represent them self's  while at the same time promoting Asgardia to encourage more people to  become citizens           Ricky Sickles

@lorezyra,

excellent work! I find your re-write to be wholly acceptable and I would vote for it. solid base to build the nation on.

I had no idea how bad it is. Better consider it expedient to postpone the vote (at least a year), than to be so crude document.

Then I will present objections to the thesis.

Citizenship Asgardia can't be fixed and the more innate is again inadequate reproduction of the Earth's antiquity. I suggest the following.

Citizenship Asgardia is deliberate and dynamic. Citizenship was granted to any person who has a confirmed sustained personal motivation for participation in large-scale space projects. Citizenship has no lower age limit (even younger students are able to put forward some very interesting ideas and to take part in the solution of quite complex scientific - technical problems – for example, using applications such as BOINC), but on the basis of informed personal statement. Automatic assignment of citizenship to children at the age of irresponsible, even if their parents are citizens, is unacceptable, as they automatically label it a religion, because it is not a conscious choice.

Citizenship Asgardia is dynamic. The citizen accepts the obligation to uphold the laws and to divide declared values of Asgardia to the extent that they do not contradict his worldview and do not conflict with the social system of his primary residence. A citizen has the right to an unlimited number of times to suspend the citizenship (for example, in the event of a conflict of interest) and to appeal for its renewal. Resumption of citizenship automatically, except in cases where previous activities of the citizen the relevant authorities of Asgardia recognized as destructive (for example, he helped a terrorist organization). In the latter case, citizenship may be forcibly suspended by decision of the authorities of Asgardia. But basic necessary and sufficient condition for citizenship Asgardia is the person's self-identification as such (otherwise it sect).

Some general remarks.

A number of scientific schools (in particular, the Soviet school by Kurdyumov), what studied the development of complex nonequilibrium systems, proposed a new approach to the description of the future. Even a simple flame propagation in the medium is around 10^15 (million billion!) possible attractors, each of which is strictly described. In these circumstances, predicting the future makes no sense. The desired future you must choose from possible (not prohibited), and then restore the path leading to it.

In this regard, I always thought that the main function of Science Fiction – the creation of utopias, i.e. the description of the desired states of society and its scientific and technical base, and then a description of the ways leading to it. At present, unfortunately, this function fails completely, really interesting works can be counted on the fingers.

In my understanding, the writing of the Constitution of Asgardia is primarily the creation of compelling, actionable and inspiring utopia. I now this utopia do not see absolutely. The fundamentals are well recognizable model of the existing states of the Earth, some of which are already largely dysfunctional, and others relatively safe as long as not over oil on the continental shelf of the North sea. Maybe you need a broad discussion in the Science Fiction aspect (the definition of a set of desired States, the "ideal final result" by Altshuller's TRIZ), and not formal futurological approach of extrapolating from the achieved.

I like most of the constitution, most of the points make a lot of sense to the dream that Igor put out back in october. I would like a bit more clarification on what some things mean. One issue that has been discussed a lot is the whole monarchy business and the taxes/levies. Could we get a separate document describing the reasoning behind such things? 

Why do we have to be classified by old political nomenclatures like republics and monarchies, why cant we be something new?

What taxes and levies?

I think wrong in principle at this stage any mention of orbital weapon platforms and the more purposeful their possible use against any man-made objects. 

Now it sounds like this: Asgardia offers the states of the Earth (probably for a small fee) effective protection against space threats. Read between the lines: for those who are not willing to pay the fee, or will create problems, Asgardia able to create a cosmic threat. It is a model of the Laputa island  from the novel of Jonathan Swift. (Those who caught the worst of the Soviet and Russian history at the turn of XX-XXI centuries, understand the meaning of the euphemism "крыша" ("roof")). 

Obviously, no state with at least some scientific and technical potential, will not tolerate such a situation. In the first place it will not allow the USA with their claims to world hegemony (especially with the fact that decisions in Asgardia, including the use of technical means, intended to be taken in a democratic way, and most of its supporters are citizens of China). 

The project will be either thwarted or brought under tight control (up to loss of function) leading powers. I propose to exclude from the Constitution any militaristic allusions.

The Constitution mentions that citizens will have access to "mechanisms for public monitoring" of the electronic voting. What is/are the procedure/s to monitor the election?

Hello Fellow Asgardians  from the Moraine Ohio sector These are my Thoughts on  Checks and Balances ,They come in the form of vetting the HoS/PoA Picks and then Parliament/ Congress  doing the placements if they pass, plus not allowing the HoS/PoA from dissolving the Parliament/Congress. Parliament/ Congress makes the laws the HoS/ PoA ether has to pass it or veto it. If vetoed it should back and be re worked or the Parliament/Congress has 30 days to get a 2/3s vote to over turn the veto and pass the law after which the HoS/ PoA has to live with the decision or vice-a-verse. As far as departments, there's too many. They need to be paired down/ There should be three branches of government  Executive, Legislature,Justice The Asgardian Supreme Court is a stand alone just like in the states Judges are appointed by the HoS/ PoA ,but still have to be vetted by the Legislature . and the Court is only there to see that the government is following the laws and Constitution not making laws .  The departments under the  Executive HoS/ PoA should only be Defense,State department ,Intel ,Trade ,and  Treasury ( no national bank) Justice takes care of Civil courts and citizen safety ( not to include fire safety) This can be an off shoot of defense. The Legislature is the purse strings of it all

I oppose monarchical forms of organization for a number of reasons. 

Technically that's a violation of the basic principles of organization of complex systems – Ashby's law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_(cybernetics)), since no leader can be highly competent in many issues (a disease not only of monarchies, but any quasimonarchies – strong presidential republic, etc.). However, in the stated activities of Asgardia, by definition, inevitable situation when strong leadership is needed.

I propose to consider the following model of dynamic leadership.

In addition to Ministries, Asgardia are related by the relevant Councils (Soviets) with the elected Leaders (formed in a first approximation according to the principles of competence and meritocracy). The difference is that the Ministry – appointed structures, carrying out routine activities, the Executive structures of the Councils, and the Councils – elected and strategic. In any the moment in the current situation, operational management (leadership) activity of Asgardia belongs to the Leader of the relevant Council, with the participation of members of the Council, but only within the framework of its competence, and limited time interval. He is the current Operator of Asgardia. 

So, in the event of fast threats such as collision with an asteroid body almost all the power to take the necessary measures sent the Leader of the Security Council. He has the authority to use all technical resources – but, for example, not impact on social or cultural sphere. After target solutions - eliminate the threat – he sends the credentials of the Operator to the Leader of another Council like the Council of Foreign Relations or the Council of Science. 

The model assumes action of Operators in the region of their maximum competence and reduce the likelihood of seizing power. I propose to develop the theme.
