The Charter of Rights & Duties of the Accord
Once rights were guaranteed, responsibilities had to be defined. The Charter of Rights and Duties balanced privilege with obligation, declaring that freedom was sustained only by contribution. It transformed the language of entitlement into one of stewardship.
Under this charter, cooperatives pledged to preserve knowledge, offer aid in crisis, and maintain transparency in governance. The Accord ceased to be a defensive alliance and became a living ethic: every benefit carried the weight of shared duty.
By aligning liberty with accountability, the Charter ensured Koina’s endurance. It taught that to act freely is to act responsibly — that fellowship is not a condition granted, but a discipline maintained.
The Charter of Rights & Duties of the Accord
Preamble
We, the peoples of Koina, having secured the rights of the individual and the sovereignty of each cooperative, now affirm the common bond that unites us. For preservation is not sustained by rights alone, but by duties freely embraced. To share in Koina is to accept both the protection of fellowship and the responsibility of stewardship. This Charter declares the rights and duties that all cooperatives hold in common, that no people may stand alone in preservation, and that no voice may call upon the Accord without also answering its charge.Article I – On the Right to Preservation
Every cooperative has the right to safeguard its heritage, and the duty to aid others in doing the same. Repositories, monuments, sanctuaries, and traditions of every land shall be respected as treasures of all Koina. To defile one is to wound all, and to preserve one is to enrich all.Article II – On the Right to Equal Representation
Every cooperative holds equal voice within the Council of Accord. No matter the size of its land or the multitude of its people, each has the duty to send representatives, and the right to be heard without fear of dismissal or domination. The strength of Koina lies in the chorus of its many voices, none silenced, none supreme.Article III – On the Duty of Contribution
Each cooperative shall contribute to the maintenance of the Accord: to the copying of records, the construction of repositories, the restoration of sanctuaries, and the tending of Houses of Knowledge. The measure of contribution shall be guided by capacity, not imposed by force. What matters is not the weight of the gift, but the fidelity of the pledge.Article IV – On the Duty of Sanctuary
Every cooperative is bound to protect places set apart: libraries, schools, temples, museums, and Houses of Healing. In peace and in conflict, these sanctuaries are inviolate. To strike against them is to commit a crime not against one land, but against Koina itself. All peoples are duty-bound to rise in their defense.Article V – On the Right to Aid in Times of Crisis
In famine, flood, fire, or pestilence, no cooperative shall be left to suffer alone. Aid shall be rendered swiftly, drawn from the shared strength of Koina. To deny aid when it may be given is to deny The Covenant. In this way, preservation extends beyond memory into life itself, ensuring that the people endure to carry the knowledge entrusted to them.Article VI – On the Duty of Transparency
All cooperatives must declare openly their actions that touch upon preservation, whether in governance, resource use, or cultural change. Secrets that imperil the covenant are forbidden. Records of deliberation, judgment, and restoration shall be preserved in the repositories, so that future generations may know not only what was decided, but why.Closing
Thus the peoples of Koina bound themselves not only by rights, but by duties. The Charter affirms that membership in the Accord is both privilege and responsibility, that the covenant rests not on conquest but on mutual care. By this balance of rights and duties, Koina became more than a treaty — it became a fellowship of peoples who endure together, as stewards of memory and guardians of each other.
