PKTF Denounces Unsubstantiated Claims, Highlights Rigorous Vetting Processes, and Calls for Evidence-Based Accountability to Protect Integrity and Lawful Governance
The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) has released a detailed statement addressing ongoing allegations regarding its operations, particularly claims of involvement in "District Assembly" activities or improper training of individuals not aligned with Federation specifications. PKTF reaffirms its unwavering commitment to lawful governance, transparency, and adherence to Due Process while calling for accountability and evidence-based reporting from all peacekeepers.
Rejection of Allegations and Call for Evidence
PKTF categorically denies any involvement, direct or indirect, in perpetuating "District Assembly" activities or hybrid jurisdictional approaches. Any assertions to the contrary must be supported by formal written evidence.
Allegations from two states remain unsubstantiated due to the lack of detailed reports. PKTF requires Marshals-at-Arms to provide at least a supplemental report if a full investigation is not yet complete. Verbal claims alone are insufficient and may lead to unnecessary confusion or escalation.
Due Process and Avoidance of Slander
PKTF emphasizes that all peacekeepers must uphold the principles of Due Process. Any Marshal-at-Arms who reports concerns without first submitting at least a supplemental report must be prepared to verbally retract their claims if subsequent written reports fail to align with their initial assertions.
PKTF reminds all peacekeepers that slander, especially when documented in writing and leading to defamation of character, is a criminal offense. Such cases may be subject to investigation by a Jural Assembly if damages cannot be resolved through arbitration.
PKTF fully honors this approach to Due Process and expects the same standard from all American peacekeepers. Upholding fairness and accuracy is critical in maintaining trust within State Assemblies.
Handling False Assertions
If any claims are made asserting that PKTF is directly or indirectly involved in promoting "District Assembly" activities without written evidence or proof, PKTF will take immediate action. This includes requesting a course correction and retraction of such claims.
Should a State Assembly lack a functioning Ombudsman Service to address these concerns, PKTF will escalate the matter to the Fiduciary Office for guidance on potential claims of slander or defamation of character under false assertions.
Vetting Processes and Training Standards
PKTF employs a rigorous multi-layer vetting process for onboarding Assembly Liaisons. This includes thorough questioning designed to mitigate jurisdictional conflicts, ensure peaceful affirmations of service, and align candidates with full adherence to the Federation Blueprint and The Federation of States goal towards honorable restoration of such means.
Yearly training programs are provided to Assembly Liaisons to support lawful State Assembly Militia operations while fostering peaceful governance.
PKTF is committed to continuously enhancing its vetting strategies and exploring new methods for screening American State Nationals who seek roles within their State Assemblies.
Accountability Measures
Marshals-at-Arms are reminded of their fiduciary responsibility to conduct thorough investigations before making formal allegations. Interim reports are welcomed as supplemental documentation while investigations are ongoing.
Unsubstantiated verbal claims that result in slanderous accusations may lead to further investigations by Jural Assemblies if not resolved amicably through arbitration.
Commitment Moving Forward
PKTF remains steadfast in its mission to promote lawful self-governance while maintaining transparency, impartiality, and adherence to public law. The organization will continue refining its processes to ensure the integrity of its operations and the success of American State Assemblies under the Federation Blueprint. All peacekeepers are encouraged to uphold these principles by ensuring accuracy, fairness, and accountability in their actions and reporting.
