The Proclamation on the Rights of the Individual

[British Arzelentaxmacone]

Official Government Response

Thank you for taking the time to write to our administration. Trading with slave owning nations and companies only makes the problem worse. By providing these human right violating companies with trade, you only allow the unethical and illegal practice to continue. We appreciate that all nations look out for their own interests, but slavery is something that we cannot condone in any circumstances.

Regards,

British Arzelentaxmaconean Government - Written by Miss Kelly Clarkson, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Your Excellency:

The government of the Holy Nifonese Empire wishes to communicate this to the government of British Arzelentaxmacone; that the government of the Empire of Greater Nifon wishes to esquire if the government of British Arzelentaxmacone has something worthy to offer in exchange for a shift of Nifonese policy.

If the Empire of Greater Nifon does not obtain beneficial terms from nations of this declaration, we will have to continue our current policy.

The government of the Empire of Greater Nifon may reconsider it's stance if all nations of this coalition abolish all tariffs and open their markets to Nifonese products without the Holy Nifonese Empire having to open it's own markets to theirs.

Official Government Response

We do have items worthy to offer, but we will not be offering them to a nation that condones the slave trade. Since we have no trade with your nation, you are free to continue your current policy. However, you should expect heavy sanctions on your nation.

Regards,

Miss Kelly Clarkson.

While the European Federation doesn't condone Slavery in any form, it cannot join in these sanctions as we have both good diplomatic and trade relations with the Holy Nifonese Empire.

Foreign Office

Public Statement to All Nations by the Government of Eulabia

To the Esteemed Governments and Peoples of the International Community,

The Government of Eulabia wishes to convey its position regarding recent international discourse on the fight against slavery and related trade implications.

Eulabia holds firm to the belief that the institution of slavery, in any guise, is fundamentally at odds with the principles of human dignity and rights that our nation has historically championed. Nonetheless it is imperative to navigate such international challenges with nuance, acknowledging the complexities and sovereign rights of individual states.

While the aspiration to extinguish the blight of slavery is commendable, the means to such an end warrant thoughtful consideration. Eulabia voices its reservations, not only concerning the imposition of sanctions and embargoes on nations opting not to join this particular initiative but also regarding the potential motives of the coalition. There are emerging concerns that the coalition may be utilising this virtuous cause as a potential justification for acts of war, which would inherently cause harm rather than prevent it. Diplomacy should be rooted in dialogue, mutual understanding, and collaboration rather than exertions of undue pressure or the shadows of militaristic intentions.

To be categorically clear, Eulabia cannot endorse the application of sanctions and embargoes as mechanisms to induce sovereign nations into acquiescing to an initiative, no matter how noble the intent. Such punitive actions risk not only straining the very fabric of international relations but also fostering an environment of mistrust.

Moreover, Eulabia does not, and will not, support or engage in commerce with entities complicit in the odious act of slavery. Yet, we maintain that fostering dialogue and collaboration remains a more efficacious path than resorting to punitive measures.

Given the gravity of the subject at hand, we beseech the international community to engage in open, constructive dialogue. Together, and only together, can we stride towards the noble goal of abolishing slavery, while simultaneously upholding the tenets of sovereignty, dignity, and international amity.

In the spirit of enduring cooperation and goodwill,

Mereo Augusto
Foreign Secretary
Commonwealth of Eulabia.

[Aeyariss]

We will join the sanctions against the Holy Nifonese Empire, and issue a full import blockade on everything comming from their nation.

From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of the
MOST SERENE EMPIRE OF AEYARISS

Greetings,

To Whom this May Concern;

INQUIRE FOR CLARIFICATION

Your Excellency, it has come to our attention that you mentioned in your brief correspondence here that your nation will 'join sanctions and issue a full import blockade against the Holy Nifonese Empire'. We must stressed for further explanation from your side since we consider that any form of 'blockade' targeted against our friend and one of our oldest ally as an act of war.

We want you to know that the Most Serene Empire of Aeyariss would honor our Military Defense Treaty with Nifon and be forced to declare war upon your nation, and anyone else here who support such blockade in such event. Therefore, we protest the use of your choice of words and strongly suggest that you clarify and perhaps retracts some of your wording to avoid further misunderstanding.

Aeyariss Empire regretted this incident since we too are a supporter of abolishing the slave practice; a system that we had eradicated almost a 100 years ago. Now, we would have love to support this Proclamation but we unable due the fact that it violates neutrality and sovereignty rights of individual nations to choose their own trade policy. But we believe we can avoid a war over a trade and policy disagreement.

Signed,
Countess Mirielle Danielle Yun
Minister Foreign Affairs

I will be blunt. By no means, do I support the institution of slavery.

However this is not about the institution of slavery.

I do not believe that attempts to force nations to change will bring a solution to this problem. On the contrary, it will only generate a myriad ones. By contrast, I would like to remind everyone present that transfer of industrial robots by the Empire of Greater Nifon to a slave state 4 years ago resulted in freedom of 15 000 slaves, whose labour was no longer needed.

Yet those self proclaimed "defenders of human rights" wish to disrupt the global economy and make us all suffer for their crusade. This can not stand. This will not stand.

I demand that ambassador for the leaderships of British Arzelentaxmacone or European Federal Union instantly head to Ishikawa to explain their behavior to offer an apology and pay homage. I also demand that all sanctions on the Empire of Greater Nifon be lifted at once.

Refusal will be met with dire consequences for the nations involved.

Subject:
Encryption: REI-PUBLICA

To Whom it may Concern,

The Imperium, highly condemns the acts of the nations of BA and the Active Slaver Entity, criticizing them as hypocritical, and highly unprofessional. Nifon has long been a partner of Imperia and the Imperium will not tolerate an attack on a nation with whom Imperia has seen friendly relations, and shared interests. It is also to note that BA and the Active Slaver Entity have been criticized for being authoritarian states and the Active Slavery Entity has not provided ample evidence for their abolishment of slavery, with concerns of their currently administration too being brought to mind, It is with the current circumstance that the Ministry of External Affairs would like to announce the implementation of Executive Sanctions concerning all commercial trade, upon the aforementioned nations, and demands that they both issue formal apologies, lifts all sections and embargoes, and provide the appropriate reparations for any and all economic and socio-political damages

Problem: Slavery

Solution: Robots that have no sentience. 'Tis that simple.

We can supply any and all nations who are conflicted on the slavery problem with industrial robots which can replace slavery whilst maintaining economic efficiency.
