Editing Haven Accords (section)

==Accords content==

===Aelurian self-determination===
The Haven Accords provided that Aeluria be permitted to hold an independence referendum, and that all parties to the Accords would be bound to accept the result from that referendum. The Accords also allowed for Aeluria to decide to make the referendum a multi-option preferendum, with the option of further devolution of explicitly specified topics also included; those topics including employment law and social security among others.

The Accords also explicitly forbade Aeluria from continued efforts towards independence should the referendum fail, for a period of at least ten years; the treaty did, however, include that should both the Laucheoirian government and the Aelurian government agree this ban could be lifted and/or the time period abridged.

If the referendum was successful, however, the Accords mandated a five year implementation period, to allow for administrative and other legislative changes to be drafted and take effect.

Foreign forces, and in particular the forces from the Clarke government and from Kivasek, were mandated by the Accords to leave Aeluria immediately, with peacekeeping forces from Sanctaria to keep the peace on a temporary basis.

===Cessation of conflict===
The first articles dealing with the Second Lauchenoirian Civil War officially ended the conflict, and also mandated that all foreign forces currently within Lauchenoiria and her territories leave. Smyth also stipulated that the peacekeeping units of the [[Sanctarian Defence Forces]] would remain in Lauchenoiria until such a time that Smyth, or anyone else designated by the government of Sanctaria, decided otherwise.

The Accords also established a [[Truth and Reconciliation Commission]], commonly referred to as the TRC, for the hearing and judgement of war crimes allegedly committed throughout the conflict. The TRC later began its hearings in 2019, with final sentencing being delivered in July 2019, almost a year to the end of the conflict.

Smyth's Accords also mandated that fresh elections be held, and a new constitution drafted, once he was satisfied that such elections would not be in danger of further destablising the nation. In the interim, Smyth declared that a unity government would be established to govern Lauchenoiria and that Keitha Noguera would hed this government as interim Prime Minister.

The Haven Accords also touched on prisoners of war, with the mandate that all PoWs be released. They further stipulated that Kerlile return former Lauchenoirian Foreign Secretary Josephine Alvarez who had been captured and was being held. The Accords also requested that Lauchenoiria appoint a new [[Vice President of Lauchenoiria|Vice President]] of the Federation as an immediate priority, likely because the incumbent [[President of Lauchenoiria|President]] [[Kieran MacKenzie]] was ill.

As part of the Accords, Smyth also tasked much of the oversight, administration, and costs of implementation of all articles to the Government of Sanctaria, a move that surprised Chancellor Hendry and her government.
