I do not have the slightest idea of what such a clause might say, nor what it might mean, but I am always suspicious anything involving NK.

A democratic clause is one that requires all members within an organization to uphold domestic democratic principles. Mercosur and the Organization of American States also have similar clauses.

Then NK does not understand this meaning, as he has commonly not upheld democratic principles in Argentina!
