The Triumvirate of Venus sees no issues with the additional Articles VII and VIII. They are reasonable additions to the treaty as it originally is. With regards to the modifications to Articles I and II, I have been authorized to state that these are unnecessary due to the current information relayed back to Venus from our survey corps regarding the nature of Sol's Jump Points.
Edit:
Additionally, I am declaring the Triumvirate's intent to sign the following bills:
- Zone of Exclusion Treaty + Amendments
- Dueling Code
- Fair Distribution of Jump Points Treaty + Amendments
The Protection of Garden Worlds Treaty we are unwilling to ratify due to its prohibitions against taking out valid ground targets, such as Planetary Defense Centers. PDCs are capable of striking targets in orbit and beyond, and being unable to neutralize these targets due to the regretful collateral damage is unacceptable. An amendment to allow for the neutralization of Planetary Defense Centers is necessary.
As for the Rules of War, with the Protection of Garden Worlds Treaty this would be mostly unnecessary, and would only add strange rituals to combat. An additional addendum to the Protection of Garden Worlds Treaty requiring that in the event of planetary assaults, the Attacker offers surrender to the Defender rather than face orbital bombardment and an invasion, both of which would do great harm to the populace and industry. In this, the Attacker must offer ample opportunity to surrender, and define what this surrender entails.
