Cassandra Convention

Ratified by Leonis and Tauron in 1943 AE and again after every revision since, the Cassandra Convention was named to commemorate the lives lost when the Caprican passenger liner Cassandra was destroyed with all hands lost when it triggered a misplaced mine while passing through a neutral spacelane during the middle of the Great Civil War. The convention, which governs the use and placement of space mines during inter-colonial Warfare was later amended to include articles detailing the acceptable treatment of prisoners of War, involvement of non-aggressors, delineation of authority for the safeguarding of individual rights, etc. While the convention has never been ratified by all of the Twelve Colonies, it sits in Military archives and political back burners just in case civil unrest leads again to Civil War.
