Grand Brother Supreme Leader of the state of Seripheap Shall join this creed under one acceptance .

We are still give the right to purchase and upon arrival onto official state land . Free The slave and give him or her a political and social reeducation and given a Immigration pass and green card .

We disapprove of slavery as a state but are willing to speak to traders in return to buy the freedom of an individual(s) .

We assume that if those slaves do not want to live in the new land, they are free to leave?

The Radicchian Governor's Council,
In session:

Isla de Cerdo, The Colony of Raicchio

States signatory to the Amistad Declaration.

The Colony of Radicchio - The Offices of the Council of 11.

We the Governors of the Colony of Radicchio, in accordance with our laws and processes, appoint unto this Council of 11 the rights of due congress for the signing and service of treatise, trade, consession and embargo.
This council has been informed of intent, by an undersigned letter who's language was approved last week in session by a vote of 29>6 of the approval by majority of the Governor's Council of the Colony of Radicchio to seek, study and form an official position on this document: The Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man.

This Council of 11 has taken into advisement the letter of intent and approved the imposition of their own power in this matter, having decided that under Radicchian Common law, that they do infact possess the authority supposed and granted them by the greater Governor's Council body.
The Amistad Declaration has been read aloud in open session and it's language scrutinized in closed session where debate was heard and where concerns were voiced that the afore mentioned declaration focuses at times TOO clearly on the common application of force and at other times less than clearly on the Rights of Man. This debate being heard and the council's agreement having been made that in any official release on this matter, there ought to be included language which both condemns slavery but also clearly condemns the common application of force and the condemnation of the Slaver as being beneath the non-slaver. This council recognizes and indeed condemns the slaver, accepts under debate the language of the Amistad Declaration and notes that it's language though acceptable, is flawed.

The conditions of debate having been met in this document, it is the intent to declare our bias towards the Declaration and to undersign it's provisions with the full force of the Governor's Council and it's authority to join into international agreements.
We here the Undersigned, having been elected by the People of the COlony of Radicchio and appointed fom among our peers to represent their Council in matters of international importance, knowing of the intent of the Council to accept this Declaration and having studied it under debate, hereby sign, accept and vow to enforce the provisions of The Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man.

From the offices direct of the Grand Council.
Transcribed in session.

"The Amistad Declaration is a noble step in achieving a slave-free world, for slavery is a barbaric practice that we shall stop. As President Abraham Lincoln of the United States of America said, the ones who shall be slaves shall be the ones who are willing to be slaves, or those who forces others to be slaves...or at least I'm saying the context of what President Lincoln said. We gladly sign this declaration, and we promise to abide to, and enforce, its regulations."

Signed,

Baptistan Senate

Whereas , chattle slavery is one of the most inhumane and barbaric practices in human history; and

Whereas, it is clearly revealed in God's word that we are all created in the image of God and furthermore we are all called to be our "brothers keeper;" and

Whereas, the signatory nations of the Amistad Declaration have pledged themselves to fight the evil of slavery.

Therefore, be it resolved by the 1st Session of the 8th Parlimentary session of the Baptistan Senate, with National Assembly Concurring that:

Section 1: The Nation of Baptistan adds its name to the list of signatory nations of the Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man.

Section 2: The President of Baptistan in accordance with the Baptistan Constitution is authorized to use his or her power and discretion as Commander is Chief to direct the Baptistan Armed Forces to engage such opetations as needed to combat slavery.

Signed,

Arnold Vinick
President of the Theocracy of Baptistan

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea wishes to extend and offer its full, unflinching support in the struggle against chattel slavery.

Down with evil imperialism and the oppression of the working people!

"We have to take up arms for what we see as right and against what is abominable. We have to take up arms against communist savages. We have to take up arms against extremist animals. We have to take up arms for the advancement of human rights. Now this obliges us to take up arms against an ancient beast that has consumed, is consuming, and will continue to consume innocents if we do not take up arms to fight it. The Commonwealth Assembly has voted 624-10-6 in favor of signing this declaration. Thus, I sign the Amistad Declaration, and I promise Palmyrion's undying fervor to serve under the banner of abolitionism."

It has come to my attention that the signature for our nation is outdated. Saranasata has been dead for some time. Let me reaffirm the Marshite commitment to this declaration by the pen of Lainika, current Arch-Bishop of the Grand Theocratic Empire and the Romani-Mar'si Union.

It would appear that somehow the signature of the Olwean Emperor was omitted from the most recent version of the Amistad Declaration. Allow me to hereby reaffirm Olwe's steadfast resolve in this matter. We remain your loyal allies.

OOC: A lack of your signature in the first post does not mean it's not been accepted, it's just that I've been having weird issues editing the post. I'll try to incorporate everyone's signatures in the weekend.
