Wartime Peace Negotiations Act

The Wartime Peace Negotiations Act was a bill passed in the Galactic Senate in the year 21 BBY which approaved of open peace talks between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems in order to end the Clone Wars on peaceful terms. The bill was proposed by Alderaan Senator Bail Organa after the decisive Separatist victory on Ordonia and Jabiim left the Clone Army severly depleted in manpower and the Republic was forced to conscript civilians from member worlds to support the war effort until the Clone Army ranks could be replenished with fresh Clone Troopers. Senator Organa cited these incidents as proof that peace talks needed to open up and the proposed the bill in response.

The bill was met with mixed response upon its initial prorposal as many Senators supported the bill, especially those representing worlds that were the most affected by the war, and others opposed it, mainly those coming from the Core Worlds and Inner Rim where nationalistic sentiments ran wild and were extremely popular and influencial in their politics. After two weeks, the bill was voted on and passed after securing 55% support from the senate leading to the start of peacetalks between the Republic and the Separaitsts.
