My expectation was you would edit the post appropriately to acknowledge the section you adapted from the UN Charter. I'm confused as to why you did not find that clear?

While I did not post the real treaty for the CESU that is completely different from the UN Charter, I did fail to provide an OOC source to the original post.
Interesting you said this earlier, because I've just finished examining your
CESU Treaty, and it does not seem it is so "completely different from the UN Charter" as you suggest...

@Moderation I understand you have the ability to edit the content of treaties. In cases where they have been plagiarised and you are reluctant to delete them due to RP concerns, one option would be to edit the treaty to OOCly acknowledge the source that has been adapted. However, in the cases here, unfortunately, the plagiarism is so extensive I am not sure there is any other option but to delete the texts. Even where a source is used and acknowledged, it is only meant to be used in moderation. Quoting the rules:
Role-play content must be original work and plagiarism of any kind is strictly banned. Players may quote or reference real-world material provided that this is limited and that they link to the original source in the text.
