The X-Com Charter.

UN Security Council Memorandum; re: X-Com Project: Although information on The Berlin Incident is still being gathered, two important conclusions have been reached:

1) The existence of extra-terrestrial life is no longer speculation. Rather it has been proven in a manner which is undeniable by science and beyond the scope of any government's ability to suppress.

2) Although the intent of that alien force is at this time unknown, it has been shown to be clearly hostile.

A countermeasure must be taken to protect and preserve human existence, and it is with this intention that the Secretary General and the members of the Security Council vote unanimously to activate the X-Com Project. The following provisions shall be made to that end.

1: Because the X-Com Project (Hereafter, "X-Com.") must be able to pursue their mission without political concerns either regional, national, or international;  management of the project shall be entrusted to a private individual. The Security Council has already contacted Douglas Chambers, President and CEO of Chamberscorp International, and he has agreed to serve as Director of X-Com and offered his corporation's Lebanon, Kansas facility to serve as X-Com's base of operations.

2: Owing to X-Com's mission, it's agents shall be free to operate without let or hindrance within the borders of all Member Nations.  Where human lives are at stake, X-Com operatives shall do their level best to rescue and extract any humans in hostile territory unless doing so would jeopardize the primary mission of X-Com and/or the lives of it's operatives.  For all legal purposes, X-Com's operatives shall be granted Diplomatic Immunity status.

3: The analysis, disposal, and primary use of all alien materials shall be entrusted to X-Com.  Member Nations may make requests for technology and materiel confiscated from alien sources by X-Com, however, all requests will be subject to the approval or denial of the Director of X-Com.

4: X-Com funding shall be subject to monthly review by members of the Security Council.

Decreed this First date of March, 2015.
