Reducing Orb's fighting capability in the middle of an enemy invasion violates the second claim.
If the Kusanagi is still considered part of Orb, then interfering in the battles between the EA and the PLANTs also violates the third claim.
These are rules to maintain neutrality which is the core ideal. Helping the AF build Gundams does indeed violate the third one. But allowing the invasion to happen does not mean they've violated the second "ideal" because they've maintained the larger ideal in doing so. If it was then there would've been laws preventing Cagalli's father doing what he did which were never mentioned. And Kusanagi did not interfere with an outside conflict since they were fighting the very side that had invaded them.

The core ideal is neutrality. Those rules are just methods to maintain that.
