[Dekks]

The current version of the charter has many inconsistencies and contradictions, and this is problematic for the supreme body of law we basee our government and regional functioning upon. Currently the only way to remove these problems would be by a charter ammendment, this is ineffective, slow and unfocused work and is the reasons why so many faults are in the charter in the first place. The solution that this ammendment offers is to let the Sec-Gen directly propose and execute the correct changes to the charter and creating a priority system for charter ammendments in the case of any inconsistencies, this ammendment also makes sure there's the neccesarry court oversight and that ultimately power stays in the hands of the congress.
