The Covenant of Adjudication
With so vast a fellowship came dispute, and with dispute, the need for fair judgment. The Covenant of Adjudication created a body of interpreters — adjudicators drawn from every federation — tasked with applying the laws of the Accord without favor or creed.
This covenant transformed justice from punishment into restoration. It replaced vengeance with dialogue, and authority with interpretation. Through it, conflicts between peoples could be resolved without breaking the bonds of cooperation that held them together.
The Covenant of Adjudication remains one of Koina’s quiet triumphs: a system where law listens before it speaks, and where correction is a form of renewal. It ensured that the Accord could adapt to each new age without losing its soul.
The Covenant of Adjudication
Preamble
We, the peoples of Koina, having pledged ourselves to preservation, sovereignty, and fellowship, now affirm that covenants without guardianship falter, and laws without interpretation decay. For the Accord is not fixed stone, but living memory, requiring wisdom to guide it across the ages. Therefore, we establish The Covenant of Adjudication, that disputes may be resolved without war, that duties may be enforced without tyranny, and that the Accords may be renewed in harmony with the times.Article I – On the Council of Adjudicators
A Council of Adjudicators shall be established, drawn from across Koina. Members shall be chosen for their wisdom, impartiality, and fidelity to preservation, not for their allegiance to power or creed. Their charge is to interpret the Accords, Bills, and Charters, ensuring their spirit is upheld even as circumstances change. Adjudicators shall serve fixed terms, with renewal or retirement ensuring that no seat becomes a throne. Diversity of culture and voice shall be preserved within their number, so that no single tradition may dominate judgment.Article II – On the Hierarchy of Appeals
Disputes shall be resolved first within the cooperative where they arise. If a matter touches upon the Accords — preservation of knowledge, sanctuaries, human rights, sovereignty, or duties owed — it may be appealed to the Council of Adjudicators. The Council’s ruling shall be binding on all cooperatives. Yet, if two-thirds of the World Council demand reconsideration, the matter may be returned for review, ensuring that the judgment of a few may not forever silence the will of the many.Article III – On Enforcement
The Council of Adjudicators holds no armies and levies no tribute. Its strength lies in the fellowship of Koina. Enforcement shall be carried out through:Article IV – On Amendment and Renewal
The Accords, Bills, and Charters may be amended, but only with solemn care. Amendments require:Article V – On Transparency and Memory
All deliberations of the Adjudicators shall be preserved in writing, copied into repositories across Koina. Dissent shall be recorded alongside assent, so that memory does not become propaganda, but remains an honest record of debate. In this way, the Covenant itself becomes part of the living heritage, teaching future generations how wisdom was sought, even when agreement was difficult.Closing
So the peoples of Koina declared that justice and preservation are inseparable. By the Covenant of Adjudication, they ensured that the Accords would not become relics, but living guides; that disputes would be resolved by wisdom, not war; and that the covenant could adapt without breaking. Thus Koina became not only a fellowship of nations, but a fellowship of judgment, where law and memory endure together across the ages.
