Editing Treaty of Algeron (section)

==Article 12==
To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war have ceased to be under the sovereignty of the States which formerly governed them and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern political environments, there should be applied the principle that the well-being and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilization and that securities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this Covenant. The best method of giving practical effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples should be entrusted to advanced nations who by reason of their resources, their experience or their geographical position can best undertake this responsibility, and who are willing to accept it, and that this tutelage should be exercised by them as Mandatories on behalf of the Signatories. The character of the mandate must differ according to the stage of the development of the species, the geographical situation of the territory, its economic conditions, and other similar circumstances. The wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory. Other species, especially those of the newly expanded Neutral Zone, are at such a stage that the Mandatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory under conditions which shall be subject only to the maintenance of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses, and the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or military and fleet bases and of military training of the natives for other than police. The degree of authority, control, or administration to be exercised by the Mandatory shall, if not previously agreed upon by the Signatories of this treaty, be explicitly defined in each case by an agreed upon Arbiter. A permanent Commission shall be constituted to receive and examine the annual reports of the Mandatories, by both governments and to advise the Council on all matters relating to the observance of the mandates. In cases where such an agreement can not be reached by parties and in which arbitration is not required, having no dispute that may lead to the issuance of war or the threat of war, those worlds shall be evacuated and the inhabitants shall be relocated at the expense of the government, as deemed fitting by the inhabitants, under the sovereign authority of their choice.
