Colonists Right #4

Basic human rights

A government of this modern enlightened age should respect basic human rights, and most do, barring the occasional dictator or extremist regimes.

Because of this, no colony or station can be fully embargoed unless it is self-sustaining. Embargoed settlements that are not self-sustaining will be subject to a multi-government oversight committee to include the embargoed settlement, settlements levying the embargo, neutral settlements, and allied settlements.

The committee must be made of equal parts of supporting governments on both sides and at least 1 neutral arbitrator (preferably an equal number) but no more than the number of governments on either side of the embargo. It is preferred to have a minimum of five governments present when more than two governments are imposing the embargo.
