From the badly beaten-up thread "Shadowrunners: Criminals or terrorists":

QUOTE (Kagetenshi)
Note that unless they signed after formation the UCAS and CAS are not signatories of the Geneva Convention.

~J


I posted a moderate bit on North America's successor states in response, but Kagetenshi asks a good question...

Whatever happened to the Geneva Conventions, the Hague Conventions, and similar essential treaties on the rules of war?

How do megacorps fit?

Also, uh...What about various issues relating to the United States, like:

1. Treaties. Who carries that on?

2. Debt. I imagine this was split between everybody in the former US?

3. The nukes. Yeah, those.

And, similarly...In regards to Canada...

1. The Commonwealth. Um, what happened?

2. Canada's Debt. Same question...?
