The Western Horse Pact

What is it?

POLITICAL - WHP promotes democratic values and enables members to consult and cooperate on defence and security-related issues to solve problems, build trust and, in the long run, prevent conflict.

MILITARY - WHP is committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes. If diplomatic efforts fail, it has the military power to undertake crisis-management operations. These are carried out under the collective defence clause of WHP's founding treaty.

How does one join?

Membership is potentially open to all of /vt/’s emerging democracies that share the alliance's values and are ready to meet the obligations.

There is no checklist for membership.

We have made clear that, at a minimum, candidates for membership must meet the following five requirements:

New members must uphold democracy, including tolerating diversity

New members must be making progress toward a market economy.

Their military forces must be under firm civilian control.

They must be good neighbors and respect sovereignty outside their borders.

They must be working toward compatibility with WHP forces.

Again, while these criteria are essential, they do not constitute a checklist leading automatically to WHP membership.

New members must be invited by a consensus of current members.
