Oddly enough, it suggests
two definitions which, while equivalent for all votes involving only two options, differs in meaning if we ever conduct a vote more complex than "Approve" or "Deny", and doesn't explicitly address how Abstains are counted.
So I'd suggest that the treaty clearly state that Abstains are not counted towards the total votes in determining a percentage.
And I'd think that >50% is more helpful than 'simple majority', because as wikipedia has pointed out, apparently Americans define Simple Majority as >50%, where as I would think of it as 'the option with the most votes' and think of 50%+1 as 'absolute majority'. Numbers are clear, while words are not always so.
