[IC] [TWI-Only] The League of TWI (Assembly)

[Dormill and Stiura]

Van Adrichem re-positioned himself in his seat after taking the time to write out his thoughts on the matter, "After reading and re-reading this resolution, and listening to this conversation, there is no reason for the United Republics to support this resolution in its letter, however, it will support it in spirit. The Vancouvian Congress should begin the process of deescalating the situation in Illa Isle and allow its people to determine for themselves the best course of action. The United Republics will continue to utilize this League and other channels to discuss with the Vancouvian Congress the means by which this situation can be resolved with less violence."

[Athara Magarat]

"Delegate Augustia, would you like to propose a counter-resolution? Or perhaps our New Totzkan delegate has something to add or edit in the resolution being viewed currently."

"And as Athara Magarat has always said and will say, the League needs reforms. There were times when we considered withdrawing from this League as protest. And when we did briefly, we realized that it did more harm than good. If Vancouvia is wirried about the League, I urge you to join the voices demanding a reformation of the League."

[Iosnil]

Elynmsa returned to her seat just in time to listen to the Athara Magarati delegates words on reforms, this was something close to her heart and something the Crown wished to achieve “Honourable delegates, it is the position of The Crown that our previous stance on the proposal was made without the full picture, to that end Queen Verona Daynore and Iosnil wish to apologise to the people of Vancouvia. We sincerely hope that we can work with Vancouvia and the league to achieve a lasting peace”

[Ainslie]

Callum almost wanted to smack his head on the desk below him after the Athara Magaratis once again tried to steer the conversation away from the subject matter.

[Negarakita]

Gao smiled as he spoke. He knew just how devastating a precedent this resolution would set for the Dulung issue, and was determined to stop that.

"This resolution is not acceptable to the Negarakitan state. We would like to see a resolution which does not empower terrorists who in all likeliness do not represent the will of the people of Illa Isle. I would ask the advocates what they would say should an integral part of their nation wish to split? Athara Margarat has many peoples, would you support their bids for independence or is this a case of not-in-my-backyardism?"

[Athara Magarat]

"Would we? We have. Kho Panha and Mesderina were part of Athara Magarat just four decades ago."

"Athara Magarat's point here is that we should give referendum, where people present their choices clearly, a chance. Give the Vancouvian people in Illa a chance to choose. Give the League to a chance to do something before there is further hostilities between the Vancouvian government and this armed group in Illa. Kho Panha and Mesderina achieved their independence through people's referendum. The Hangate of Lortika, formerly a part of Belle Ilse en Terre, will also be conducting a refrerendum to decide whether they will join Athara Magarat as a constituent hangate or remain independent nation aligned to us."

"No offense to any my fellow delegates but clearly a peaceful referendum is a preferrable solution over trying to perform a surgery with a hammer. I ask Vancouvia and her allies again, is a referendum really as unfeasible as you claim? And as for those nations against the Vancouvian position, we believe the Vancouvian Congress is not at fault for trying to defend itself. We are gathered here to find a solution. We all agree that thus be resolved with as less violence as possible."

"Athara Magarat may not support this resolution if it comes to vote; but we are highly in favor of a referendum. Forgive me forvwhat I will say, but a refrendum seems like the best win-win situation for everyone to us. And yet again we shall state that Vancouvia has nothing to fear or lose if the Vancouvians in Illa are supporting their government and only a disgruntled minority is up in arms."

"And yes, we will also be requiring evidence that people in Illa are being murdered just for speaking English. Much more than a few articles in some Vancouvian newspapers."

[Negarakita]

"Would we? We have. Kho Panha and Mesderina were part of Athara Magarat just four decades ago."

"And yes, we will also be requiring evidence that people in Illa are being murdered just for speaking English. Much more than a few articles in some Vancouvian newspapers."

"So should a minority neighbourhood wish for independence you will give them it?"

[Athara Magarat]

"Through proper channels like referendum? Of course. There is nothing greater than the will of the people. The right of a constituent hangate to seccede from Athara Magarat is enshrined in our constitution."

[Polar Svalbard]

"It is not though, in other nations."

[Keipan]

Keipan delegate to the League, Myeong Cho entered the hallowed halls and quickly moved to locate her seat among the international community. She quietly sat down and began to pull her files and folders from her briefcase, placing them on the table infront of her as the League was seemingly busy in discussion.

[Nezaeva]

Rather quietly, a small blonde man entered the room. Black suit, golden tie, he appeared to be doing his best impression of the flag of the nation he was sent to represent. He nodded in greeting to the room and those present. A pause came, and was followed by rather terse speech.

"...Greetings. My name is Maoilios White. I have been sent by my people's council to represent great Nezaeva. If the international community will have us."

Another nod was given, and Maoilios stood entirely still. The unease of interacting with others was not subtle at all.

[Dragao do Mar]

"Welcome to the Assembly, esteemed Keipanese and Nezaevan delegates" said the Marian representative César Camargo.

[Negarakita]

"With the death of the Roendavarian monarch, there is inevitably to be violence in their nation because of the treoirevikos", Gao said, completely butchering the pronunciation of the word, "Is there anything which the league can do about this? I would call upon the delegate of Roendavar to explain this practice and propose any measures the league can take to help."

[Ainslie]

"I can say with confidence that the Ahnslen and Roendavaran Governments have been discussing the issue of the treoirevikos quite extensively.", Parkes said, hoping that he wouldn't butcher the pronunciation as well. "I believe that we will be able to effectively manage the issue and thus the Unified Electorates do not believe that League measures are required. However, we do welcome a framework to be implemented if necessary. Of course though, our opinion can and should be superseded by that of the Roendavaran Government. It is their choice in line with the principles of state sovereignty."

[Roendavar]

"Well, this is quite unexpected."

A young, pale man with brown curly hair stood up. He wore a bright velvet suit pinned with a golden rose, a standard uniform for all Roendavarian delegates. He spoke with a hushed and neutral tone, as if not wanting to create a scene. He held a black envelope with a velvet seal in his hands.

"Pardon my inactivity in this organization. My country of Roendavar takes its position on neutrality very seriously and, as much as possible, we refuse to comment on such issues unless called. First, to introduce myself once again. I am Lord Marius Sorus Eireticiari Avieneți, third in line for the Duke of Noacie Municipalitaat, and I am the Roendavarian Delegate for The League."

"As all of you know, the great Roendavarian King Dragoi Vladimir IV Draculul Avarești has died on the eve of November 25, 2018. Letters similar to the one I am holding right now has been sent to your respective governments yesterday. The King has done a lot of good things, not just for Roendavar, but for Gael, and perhaps beyond. Now, let us not speak anymore of his achievements and let us focus on the matter of the Treiorevikos."

"I would like to thank the Negarakitan delegate for giving us the chance to explain this unusual Roendavarian event. The Treiorevikos literally means Three Chaos. It refers to the period between the death of a Roendavarian Monarch and the coronation of a new King. This has shifted throught the ages, for example, the bloody 1969 Treiorevikos continued on for a year after King Vladimir IV was crowned King. In short, Treiorevikos has no set date. It ends when the people feel it ends. A bit of history, it was proposed by the Roendavarian Scholar Ethrivus in 1405, and was put into law by Emperor Imperilix Provacie Frecuntira in 1424. Ethrivus believed that violence is inherently human nature, and even how civilised we may become, violence is still there. Because of this, the Emperor Imperilix gave the people the freedom to do acts of unspeakable hatred for three months after an Emperor's death, thus the name. The custom still remains up to this day. There has been fierce opposition to remove it during the time of King Vladimir IV but, sadly, it was never removed."

"The way Treiorevikos works is simple. All crimes are legal within the time of Treiorevikos. Murder, arson, stealing, you name it. Although, killings are... heavily discouraged. We are not barbarians after all. However, it is still technically legal. All emergency services are still available and are granted immunity. The government can and will act upon those who seek to overdo such crimes, for example, mass murder, bombings, torture, use of chemical weapons, etc."

"As with what the Ahnslen delegate have said, our two governments are working extensively on the matter. We are trying to ensure that this year's Treiorevikos will not be as bloody as the previous 1969 Treiorevikos. We shall try and diffuse situations before they happen and I assure all the delegates and their governments in this chamber that the funeral on December 26 shall be a safe event. Thus, I am extending the invitation as well to all delegates and heads of state, just like what is written on the letters that were distributed."

"On top of that, I would also like to ask for the support of the League and all countries. Do not help in inflating violence in Roendavar. Do not try assisting rebels or revolutions. Also, if a head of state wants to bring their own private security group, they are free to do so. Roendavar is, and always will be neutral ground. Safety will be our number one priority in the coming days. Again, do not bring more chaos to Roendavar. It helps no one."

"Are there any other questions?"

[Negarakita]

"Would a deployment of League peacekeepers to certain important areas, such as the property of foreign embassies, companies, and hospitals etc, be seen as acceptable. I know that Negarakita alone has several nationals living in Roendavar, who will not wish to see their property destroyed in this strange custom, and I would believe that most nations here would agree."

[Roendavar]

"A League deployment in Roendavar would greatly help, however, I am not requiring the League to act upon it. If the League would allow it, then yes, foreign intervention would surely help. I understand that nations are worried for their people living in Roendavar, and I, and the Roendavarian government, will assure you that they will be safe. There is no need for drastic measures."

[Ainslie]

"I am confident at this stage that our two governments will be able to handle this situation. Alongside ARSF Peacekeepers being deployed to the nation over this period we will also be placing our rapid response firefighters on alert to respond. These men and women are amongst the best in their profession. There is no need for League intervention at this point. Embassies have their own security, as do most corporations. I am sure the Governments represented here in the League will be able to correctly and accurately advise and update foreign nationals on the issues that may arise in Roendavar. Emergency services are allowed to act during this event and with Ahnslen support they are more than fully resourced and equipped to respond to this issue. For these reasons, we really do not see the need for the League to rush to the aid of Roendavar. However, as we stated before - we support a framework to respond if things go downhill. "

[Verdon]

"Would a deployment of League peacekeepers to certain important areas, such as the property of foreign embassies, companies, and hospitals etc, be seen as acceptable. I know that Negarakita alone has several nationals living in Roendavar, who will not wish to see their property destroyed in this strange custom, and I would believe that most nations here would agree."

"Keep in mind that the government of Roendavar is obliged to protect foreign embassies from any intrusion, damage, or impairment of dignity. The Verdonese embassy passed through the 1969 Treiorevikos unscathed.

"Our condolences, Lord Avieneți," said Robert. "Should our neighbors require any assistance, we would be happy to render it."

[Iosnil]

“On behalf of Queen Verona and the people of Iosnil I extend our condolences and wish to relay that Iosnil stands ready to assist Roendavar should the situation require it”

[Polar Svalbard]

"Polar Svalbard is neutral in this conflict and will provide support to neither side."

[Miklania]

"My government is not inclined to send peacekeepers into harm's way for the sake of enabling such a strange and barbaric custom. We strongly encourage your government to prevent this senseless violence from occurring. We also insist that you take the Verdonian delegate's reminder that it is your government's responsibility to ensure the protection of foreign dignitaries. That said, we trust you won't take offense at the withdrawal of non-essential personnel and the strengthening of the Marine guard at our embassy and consulates."

[Magtel]

League Speaker Ignacio Lopez made his way through the halls of the League, reading through the briefs on the current issues the League was facing. He maintained a calm and collected demeanour as he read, taking in each piece of information and assessing it as thoroughly as he could in his mind. As he entered the main hall, he made his way to his seat in a quiet and orderly fashion, as to not disrupt the current proceedings. Accompanying him were two aides, a translator and his personal bodyguard.
Having reached his seat, he waited until the currently speaking ambassador had finished his statement before beginning his speech. "Estimados señores y señoras de la Liga..." as soon as his first words are spoken, the other representatives could hear the soft voice of the translator through their earpieces.

"Esteemed ladies and gentlemen of the League, before I address the matters concerning today's meeting I'd like to apologise for my delay to today's meeting. With that out of the way, let's get to the matters at hand. Regarding the League Resolution to Promote International Peace, after much deliberation the Republic of Magtel will vote against the current draft. It's our belief that in it's current form, the draft needlessly vilifies the nation of Vancouvia's efforts to quell terrorism within their borders, and fails to acknowledge their will to rebuild and bring stability to Illa Isle. The situation in the region, as far as our nation is concerned, is a sovereign matter of the Free Lands of Vancouvia and the proposed resolution's clause to send a peacekeeping force would only lead to further escalation. We do however find value in assessing the damage, and could see ourselves supporting a new draft of the resolution that emphasised humanitarian efforts in the conflict instead of international military intervention."
Ignacio clears his throat and rearranges some of the papers on his desk, with one of the aides handing him new ones before continuing. "Ahora, en respecto al Treiorevikos..."
Once again the translation begins transmitting through the delegates' earpieces.
"Moving on to the issue of the upcoming Treiorevikos, I'd like to begin by offering our nation's sincere condolences to the people of Roendavar for the loss of their monarch. Knowing that the coming event has potential to be very destructive, we would like to extend a helping hand in the reparations after the Treiorevikos concludes. We are willing to commit brigades of our own rescue workers and and if needed, loans for reconstructing."
Ignacio ones again reaches to one of his aides, who hands him a black folder from which he pulls out more new papers. As he glances at them he gives a small yet warm smile before reading them. "Ya que hemos estado hablando sobre ayuda humanitaria..."
"Since we are discussing humanitarian aid, we have a proposal for our fellow delegates here today. We would like to put forth the motion of establishing an international body for volunteers from all across the Isles to be able to assist in any humanitarian efforts in times of crisis. We'd urge engineers, doctors, teacher and any person willing to help to sign up for the common good of us all."

Satisfied with his proposal, Ignacio continued. "Creemos que nuestra capital Benevolencia sería el lugar ideal para la sede..."
"We believe that our capital Benevolencia would be the ideal location for hosting the headquarters of the organisation, with additional offices being located here in the Independent District to facilitate travel and communication."

[Ruios]

"I would like to mirror the delegate of Miklania in commenting that the sending of Peacekeepers is not deemed an appropiate responce of Ruios and that your government is to ensure that measures are undertaken to bring this situation to a suitable conclusion".

[Polar Svalbard]

Stephanie shook her head, "Polar Svalbard sees no reason to support this draft. It has no meat and is no more than meaningless words."
