Shadow Proclamation

The Shadow Proclamation is both a compact or treaty related to Galactic Law, and the governing body of said compact or treaty. It is apparently based on the interactions between species, specifically less advanced ones. One of the sections used by the Doctor is Convention 15, which deals with the end of hostile actions in order to parley. (TDA: Peacemaker)
