Universal explorers wrote:I propose an amendment to this document whereby any person or nation who practices slavery forfeits their rights as a human being, and therefore become beasts to be treated as they treated the humans under them with exemption from this document. If the tendency for enslavement of persons is hereditary, their descendents shall be considered beasts as well.

We are pleased by the recent expansion of the Amistad family and would like to share our warm regards with those states who have recently joined us. We are particularly pleased to welcome the The Sovereign Military and Monastic Order of Kells, whose activities have already garnered our attention most effectively.
We must oppose the notion brought forth by Universal Explorers, on two grounds. The first is ideological, although we are merciless to slavers we do not believe that holding others is slaves is a heritable condition, and we believe that allowing such an aberrant practice would be to become slavers ourselves. On a more practical basis no means exists to amend the Amistad Declaration; it is a statement to which one may subscribe or may part ways from, but it is a finished product, though naturally in time it will be superseded, it is not a living document. This is part of the reason for its remarkable success; the process of joining the forces aligned to the Declaration is an entirely internal one, without any lengthy approval process, and this, we think, it should remain.

So a signatory could use this document as an exuse to declairation war on the rest of the world because of there most likely to be a black market slave trade even in nations that banned it and there is nothing other signatories could do to remove that association. That is just great.

Signatories of the Amistad are free to do whatever they please, even if it is something as non-nonsensical as declaring war upon other signatories for being slavers. Generally this doesn't occur because signatories are not total idiots. Everyone who is a signatory generally applies something rather rare contrasting rather interestingly with its name, 'common sense'. Although I enjoy a good barbecue as much as the next person, there are plenty of 'lulz oppression and total grim-darkness' slavers to destroy before turning on each other for the nuances of respective 'freedom levels'.Please spell excuse and declaration correctly next time, as there is no excuse when you have a spell check readily available and within a moments access. Having a firm grasp of spelling tends to reinforce any argument you make with a modicum of authority. That is, if you wish to be persuasive.

Funny coming from a nation mostly made up of Drow, who in your history, have enslaved countless people and who's treatment would be considered abusive by even the most cold hearted of criminals. Seeing as such, your people can be considered slavers according to the declairation seeing as there is nothing in the declairation for the ceasation of attacks if they cease the process of slavery.

Vortiaganica: Lamoni I understand fully, of course. The two (Lamoni & Lyras) are more inseparable than the Clinton family and politics.
Triplebaconation: Lamoni commands a quiet respect that carries its own authority. He is the Mandela of NS.
