The invites had been sent out over a week ago and Queen Sonia was now nervously expecting their arrival. Around the circular grass lawn stood members of the household guard ready to give salutes to any arriving representatives. Inside the grand hall in the West Wing a large circular table had been set up with each seat set with an identical folder, pen, notepad, microphone, flag and name holder. Bottles and glasses of water stood ready and a royal chamberlain ran a well trained eye over everything before satisfying himself that all was in order. King William and Crown Prince Richard, the Queen's two husbands waited with her on the Palace steps equally as nervous, this would be the first time they'd hosted a foreign delegation.
Inside each folder sat a draft copy of the treaty that she'd drafted along with Prime Minister Aideen Sterling and Minister of Justice Aideen Sterling, they all doubted it would avoid the butchers knife but Sonia was at the moment hopeful.

"In the spirit of consensus we shall allow Article 18 to stand." If the conference would not budge then she would allow it to be as it was. She very much doubted the State Council would ratify the treaty if it stood as is and figured the majority would not budge. She would then fight for those yet to be inluded in this so called Univeral Charter.
"However, we would like to see Articles put in place to secure the rights of transgender individuals and homosexual persons. They must be given the same liberties as all citizens with no exception. "

"Perhaps article two should read:
2. All sentient beings are entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, species, religion, political, sexuality, gender identity, other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status."

Alison smiled, she herself had planned on attempting to tackle that delicate subject once they got to the part of the discussion based on adding new articles. " Same sex marriage was passed by public referendum two years ago in United Moreland, and although we've never had major issues with denying rights based on sexuality or gender identity we also have no major laws enshrining their rights legally, I would have no issue supporting the idea of supporting rights for the whole LGBTQ community, if everyone else is satisfied with the wording of the Five Kingdoms' delegation suggestion then I would be happy to support it."

"I thank Her Majesty for her support." The Ascari representative bowed her head respecfully to Queen Alison, "I only bring this topic up because the Empire has never had any qualms against same-sex relations and we felt a stronger wording within this Declaration was needed. I am satistied with the amendment made for Article 2."
"I do have isssue with the wording of Article 15. I believe it should state: All persons of legal age, without any limitations due to race, colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, or religion have the fundamental right to marry and found a family. it may sound repetative but it best not leave an Article up to vauge interpretation."

"I agree with this treaty in spirit. The heart and intention of it is in the right place, and I would love to see it go through. But," Maximus said, pausing and looking around the room. "I will not change my stance on religion in DEN. I do not outlaw religion, per se, but I do outlaw religion in laws, bills, government positions, and high ranking positions in the military. I furthermore do not allow widespread inductions, advertisement, fees, or other activities. This is simply to prevent another uprising."

- I follow your Highnesses, and freedom of belief needs to be absolutely include !
I propose all Nations support that, after, it is a question of time... By introducing this notion of time, that would allow a transition, for each nation to be align to this Treaty, it should make all parties agree with that treaty...
Long live the Republic,
May God be with you,

"Very well" Sonia said having been tapping away on her tablet. "This is where I believe we are up to, the changed sections are in green for easier reference" she explained, she then turned to the delegate from DEN. "If I may also add, as an attempt to keep all members capable of signing this I have taken the liberty to remove the word "teach" from the religious article, seeing as the gentleman said religion is not banned "per se", and then explained the situation it appears to me, as an outsider, that one can believe in a religion, and pray, meet with like minded individuals and the like, however it seems it is the spreading of the religion through such things they do not approve of, perhaps this can be a middle ground ensuring those who are religious do not have to give up what is precious to them."

I believe instead of democratic society this article should say free society, this leaves more room for different government types."

"Very well, now should that be the final amendment I would like to move to have our civil service draft copies of this for each of us, and then have a signing ceremony." The Queen said presenting what she hoped was the final document (OOC- In other words I'll leave this til Tuesday and if no one has any IC issues I'll start the RP element of people signing it.)
