The Coalition of Crown Albatross[1] (abbreviated C.C.A.) is a region and intergovernmental organization that operates in accordance with the World Assembly. The Coalition aims to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations. It is headquartered in Tofino, Zamastan, with other main offices in Cardiff, Cadair and Vulkar, Vulkaria.
The C.C.A. has four principal organs: the General Assembly; the Security Council; the Economic and Social Council; the C.C.A. Secretariat; and the Justice Council. The C.C.A.'s chief administrative officer is the Secretary-General, currently Drambenburgian diplomat Katherine von Wettin. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states.
Most nations were previously members of the International Democratic Union, but split away. These break-away nations reformed into the Coalition of Crown Albatross under President Foley Sakzi.
History
Founding
The C.C.A was formulated and negotiated among the delegations from the Big Four (Zamastan, Cadair, Vulkaria, and Gladysynthia) in the wake of the Tariel War at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference from 7th-17th February 1975 and they agreed on the aims, structure and functioning of the C.C.A. After a month of planning, the C.C.A. Conference on International Organization opened in Mönusÿnthys and was attended by 10 governments and a number of non-governmental organizations involved in drafting the C.C.A. Charter. The C.C.A. officially came into existence 18th November, 1975, upon ratification of the Charter by all signatories
The first meetings of the General Assembly, with 11 nations represented, and the Security Council took place in Congressional Hall, Tofino, Zamastan. The General Assembly selected Tofino as the site for the headquarters of the C.C.A., and a re-purposed facility was renovated to become the headquarters building. The Drambenburgian diplomat, Katherine von Wettin, was elected as the first Secretary-General of the C.C.A..
Structure
The C.C.A. has five principal organs: the General Assembly; the Security Council; the Economic and Social Council; the C.C.A. Secretariat; and the Justice Council. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states.
General Assembly
See collection of General Assembly transcripts: CCA General Assembly
The General Assembly is the main deliberative assembly of the C.C.A.. Composed of all C.C.A. member states, the assembly meets in regular yearly sessions, but emergency sessions can also be called. The assembly is led by a president, elected from among the member states on a rotating regional basis, and 21 vice-presidents. The current General Assembly President is Bekla Gorsk of Vulkaria.
When the General Assembly decides on important questions such as those on peace and security, admission of new members and budgetary matters, a two-thirds majority of those present and voting is required. All other questions are decided by a majority vote. Each member country has one vote. Apart from approval of budgetary matters, resolutions are not binding on the members. The Assembly may make recommendations on any matters within the scope of the C.C.A., except matters of peace and security that are under consideration by the Security Council.
Security Council
See collection of Security Council transcripts: CCA Security Council
The Security Council is charged with maintaining peace and security among countries. While other organs of the C.C.A. can only make "recommendations" to member states, the Security Council has the power to make binding decisions that member states have agreed to carry out. The decisions of the Council are known as Coalition of Crown Albatross Security Council resolutions.
The Security Council is made up of fifteen member states, consisting of five permanent members—Zamastan, Gladysynthia, Vulkaria, Cadair and Rio Palito—and ten non-permanent members elected for two-year terms by the General Assembly. The five permanent members hold veto power over C.C.A. resolutions, allowing a permanent member to block adoption of a resolution, though not debate. The ten temporary seats are held for six-month terms, with five member states per three months voted in by the General Assembly on a regional basis. The current Security Council President is Tyler Guterres of Zamastan.
Secretariat
The C.C.A. Secretariat is headed by the Secretary-General, assisted by the Deputy Secretary-General and a staff of international civil servants worldwide. It provides studies, information, and facilities needed by C.C.A. bodies for their meetings. It also carries out tasks as directed by the Security Council, the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, and other C.C.A. bodies.
The secretary-general acts as the de facto spokesperson and leader of the C.C.A.. The position is defined in the C.C.A. Charter as the organization's "chief administrative officer".
The secretary-general is appointed by the General Assembly, after being recommended by the Security Council, where the permanent members have veto power. The current Secretary-General is Drambenburgian diplomat Katherine von Wettin, and the Deputy Secretary-General is Rannous Devin of Gladysynthia.
Justice Council
The Justice Council of the Coalition of Crown Albatross is the primary judicial organ of the C.C.A.. The Justice Council is composed of 15 judges who serve 9-year terms and are appointed by the General Assembly; every sitting judge must be from a different nation.
The ICJ's primary purpose is to adjudicate disputes among states. The court has heard cases related to war crimes, illegal state interference, ethnic cleansing, and other issues. The Justice Council can also be called upon by other C.C.A. organs to provide advisory opinions.
Economic and Social Council
See collection of Economic and Social Council transcripts: CCA Economic and Social Council
The Economic and Social Council assists the General Assembly in promoting international economic and social co-operation and development. The Economic and Social Council President, currently Adara Davies of Cadair, is elected for a one-year term and chosen among the small or middle powers represented on the council. The council has one annual meeting in July, held in either Tofino or Cardiff. The council's functions include information gathering, advising member nations, and making recommendations.
