Charter of the League of the Micronations
We the members of the League strive for
• to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
• to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
• to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
• to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.
The nations of the League combine the strengths of themselves to accomplish these hardships
Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of New Colombia, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the League of the Micronations and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the League of the Micronations.
