  9. With the concurrence of a two-thirds majority of all member states thereof, the World Forum may adopt International Statutes, binding on all member states, which shall govern the international system and provide a body of international law for Enkon, supplementary to the provisions of the Aventine Proclaimation and of any bilateral or multilateral treaties which may be concluded by any of the member states of the Forum.
