The International Congress (IC), is an intergovernmental organisation aiming to promote international cooperation and to maintain peace on Sahar. Founded after the Great Ekuosian War to prevent such a conflict happening again, International Congress has grown into the world's biggest intergovernmental union, monitoring international crises and creating a global network of diplomacy and information. The headquarters of the IC is situated in Bosato, and is subject to extraterritoriality. The most prominent figurehead of the IC is the secretary-general, an office currently held by Dhahńat Sejar am-Panak from the Algazi Union since 2017.

The main deliberative body of the IC is the Congress.

History

Founding

The Bosato Treaty Organisation was founded in Bosato in 1956, 4 years after the end of the Great Ekuosian War. It was the result of talks between the CEPS (which had been established 3 years earlier), the Kuulist bloc, the Charter and the Kingdom of Szezkia (which was invaded by Norjihan, a Unity supporter), who were the Allied victors of the war, as well as representatives from Vaniu, Lugida, Qonklaks and the Sovereign Order of Hajenired. Its goals, as set out in the Bosato Declaration, were to prevent the reoccurance of an armed conflict on the scale of the GEW, and to act as a peacekeeping force in other conflicts worldwide.

Expansion

Nations from regions mostly unaffected by the GEW in South Baredina, Boroso and Miraria soon expressed interest in joining the IC, and in 1961 the Organisation elected to reorient the organisation to promoting world peace even outside of Ekuosia and Soltenna. In 1963 the organisation was officially renamed the International Congress.

Membership[number] delegations

The Congress is the primary deliberative body of the IC which proposes, debates and votes upon resolutions. It is made up of delegations from every member state of the IC, numbering [number], which means that every nation has equal representation. However, the "one state, one vote" power structure has been criticised for potentially allowing states representing only a small minority of Sahar's population to pass important resolutions. The Congress is presided over by the Speaker of the International Congress. Its powers are to oversee the IC budget and to make non-binding recommendations in the form of Congress Resolutions.

The Congress convenes four times every solar year at the IC headquarters in Bosato. The first session was opened on the 21st December 1961 by Prince Lorros of Nyatol.

Regions

The International Congress has regional units which operate in each of the defined 17 regions of Sahar.
