Preamble
As Reform Party of The North Pacific members, we seek a region of liberty in which all nations are sovereign over their own internal affairs and no nation is forced to sacrifice its values for the benefit of others.
We believe that respect for national and individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous region, that force and fraud must be banished from the region, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.
Consequently, we defend each nation’s and individual's right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The region we seek to build is one where nations and individuals are free to follow their own course of development in their own ways, without interference from government or authoritarian power.
Statement of Principles
We, the members of Reform Party of The North Pacific, promote the healthy sharing of power by challenging elitism and defend the rights of sovereign nations and the individual.
We hold that all nations and individuals are equal and have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.
No nation, individual nor the region itself should be without the consent of the governed.
Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of Nations and individuals.
We, on the contrary, deny the right of any government to do these things, and hold that where governments exist, they must not violate the rights of any individual, specifically:
(1) The right to life - accordingly we support the prohibition of the initiation of physical force against others or their unlawful ejection from the region;
(2)The right to liberty of speech and action - accordingly we oppose all attempts by government to abridge the freedom of speech and press, as well as government censorship in any form.
(3) The right to religions freedom - accordingly we oppose any infringement upon the religious rights of nations and individual or the free practice thereof.
Since governments, when instituted, must not violate national and individual rights, we oppose all interference by government in the areas of lawful, voluntary and contractual relations among nations and individuals.
Personal Liberty
Nations and individuals should be free to make choices for themselves and to accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make. No individual, group, or government may initiate force against any other individual, group, or government. Our support of a nation’s or individual's right to make choices does not mean that we necessarily approve or disapprove of those choices.
Freedom of Expression and Communication
We support full freedom of expression and oppose government censorship, regulation or control of communications media and technology. We favor the freedom to engage in or abstain from any activities that do not violate the rights of others.
Personal Privacy
The Reform Party of The North Pacific support the rights recognized by The Constitution and Bill of Rights of The North Pacific. Protection from unreasonable search and seizure should include records and communications of any nature held by third parties. Only actions that infringe on the rights of others can properly be termed crimes. We favor the repeal of all laws creating “crimes” without victims. We also hold the principle that the enumeration of certain rights shall not be construed as disparaging nor denying other rights retained by nations and individuals.
Crime and Justice
Government exists to protect the rights of every nation and individual. Criminal laws should be limited to violation of the rights of others through force or fraud, or deliberate actions that place others involuntarily at significant risk of harm.
Nations and individuals retain the right to voluntarily assume risk of harm to themselves.
We support restitution of the victim to the fullest degree possible at the expense of the criminal or the negligent wrongdoer.
We oppose reduction of constitutional safeguards of the rights of the criminally accused.
The rights of due process, a speedy trial, legal counsel, trial by jury, and the legal presumption of innocence until proven guilty, must not be denied.
We assert the common-law right of juries to judge not only the facts but also the justice of the law.
Political Parties and Freedom of Association
We defend the right of Nations and individuals to form political parties and other forms of organizations based on voluntary association.
Securing Liberty
The protection of the rights of nations and individual is the only proper purpose of government. Government is and should be constitutionally limited so as to prevent the infringement of national and individual rights by the government itself. The principle of non-initiation of force should guide the relationships between governments.
National Defense
We support the maintenance of a sufficient military force to defend the The North Pacific against aggression and against anyone (and their allies) who seeks to invade, disrupt or otherwise attempts to commit any acts of aggression against The North Pacific, it's allies and dependencies.
The North Pacific should both avoid entangling alliances and avoid acts of military aggression which are not in the best interest of the North Pacific.
Re: Raiders and Defenders - The Reform Party realizes the need for both Raiders and Defenders in the NPA for an effective unified defense of the region. Therefore, in recognizing this need, Raiders and Defenders shall be given as much freedom to carry out their missions as required for the effective defense of the region and its interests.
Internal Security, National and Individual Rights
The defense of The North Pacific requires that we have adequate intelligence to detect and to counter threats to domestic security. This requirement must not take priority over maintaining the civil liberties of our citizens. The Constitution and Bill of Rights shall not be suspended or violated even during time of war. Intelligence and security agencies that legitimately seek to preserve the security of the nation must be subject to oversight and transparency. We oppose the government's use of secret classifications to keep from the public information that it should have, especially that which may show that the government has violated the law.
International Affairs
The foreign policy of The North Pacific should seek peace with the world. Our foreign policy should emphasize defense against attack from abroad and enhance the likelihood of peace by avoiding unnecessary foreign entanglements.
We recognize the right of all people to resist tyranny and defend themselves and their rights. We condemn the use of force, against the innocent, regardless of whether such acts are committed by governments or by political or revolutionary groups. We will, however, defend the innocent if needs be.
We do, however, also recognize the use of force in the context of defending the interests of The North Pacific, its allies and dependencies.
Rights and Discrimination
We condemn bigotry as irrational and repugnant. Government should not deny or abridge any nation’s or individual's rights, nor should the practice of ‘corruption of blood’ (perpetual banning or denial of rights against a specific nation or individual except a penalty of treason arrived at by due process) be permitted.
Representative Government
We support electoral systems that are more representative of the electorate. As private voluntary groups, political parties should be allowed to establish their own rules for nomination procedures, primaries and conventions.
We oppose laws that effectively exclude alternative candidates and parties, deny ballot access, or deny the voters their right to consider all legitimate alternatives.
We oppose any form of elitism or exclusivity in government agencies.
Self-Determination
Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of individual liberty, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to agree to such new governance as to them shall seem most likely to secure and protect their liberty.
Omissions
Our silence about any other particular government law, regulation, ordinance, directive, edict, control, regulatory agency, activity, or machination should not be construed to imply approval.
