Preamble

We, the representatives of the nations of the world, united in our common purpose to maintain peace, uphold justice, and promote the dignity and rights of all individuals, hereby establish this Charter to govern the use and regulation of magical abilities. Recognizing the potential for both benefit and harm inherent in magical powers, we seek to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their abilities, are treated with respect, fairness, and equality under the law.
