organizations.

Article II. Representation and Support
Section 1. Non-Partisanship
● The Global Unity Alliance is a strictly non-partisan organization. No member may use
GUA platforms to endorse, promote, or campaign for political candidates or parties.
● This provision does not preclude GUA or IYA from receiving support from government
officials, provided such support is directed toward advancing the mission of serving
underserved communities and does not serve any political agenda.
Section 2. Use of Name and Logo
● The names, logos, and branding of the Global Unity Alliance and the International Youth
Assembly must not be used without prior authorization from the Board of Trustees.
● Unauthorized use of organizational property for personal or commercial gain shall result

of funds and donations.
● Members handling organizational funds must maintain accurate records, report all
expenses, and comply with established financial procedures.

● All members are recognized as volunteers. No member shall be forced or coerced into
performing work for GUA and IYA, especially in situations involving personal, family,
academic, or other significant concerns.
● Any member may hold positions in other organizations, provided that they do not engage
in harmful or illicit activities within those organizations. Engaging in such acts will result
in automatic dismissal from Global Unity Alliance.

Director.
● If the Executive Director is alleged to have violated any of these rules, a member has the
right to request a formal motion in the International Youth Assembly. Such a motion
requires approval from both the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Assembly.
● Disciplinary actions may include warnings, suspension, or dismissal from the
organization, depending on the severity and circumstances of the violation.
