THE COMMON ECONOMIC PROTOCOLS

3. Free, open, and functional markets must be preserved.
4. The CEP deals with individual parties only.
5. Agreements must be communicated openly and clearly.
6. Individuals/parties should keep their agreements.
7. Individuals/parties should not aggress against, encroach upon, or defraud others.
8. Private property is to be respected and protected.
9. Self-induced harms are the sole responsibility of the individual or party in question.
10. All the effects of an action must be taken into account.
11. Restitution is preferred above punishment.
12. Violence is a very costly means of solving disputes and is to be avoided.
12. Mistakes and emergency actions are part of human life, but must be repaired.
13. The CEP does not require omniscience of anyone.
14. The purposes of judgments are to secure free and functional markets and to recompense injured parties.
​15. The standard for the application of the CEP is the reasonable man.
