In furtherance of ARTICLE ONE, we most solemnly
declare that continuance of organized military
forces by any Government of the Solar System can
serve no useful purpose. We manifestly recognize
that the existence of military mass destruction
weapons and their supporting agencies and
facilities increase the likelihood of their
utilization to resolve differences or
jurisdictional disputes, with consequent harm
to human life, properties, and civilizations. We,
independently and collectively, agree, without
reservations except for the EXCLUSION stated
in this ARTICLE, to the phased reduction of all
military spacecraft, weapons, facilities, personnel
training and other support systems and technologies
to the point of their complete elimination not more
than five Solar Standard Years from the date affixed
to this Declaration of Principles.
